Excerpt from In the Land of Marvels: Folk-Tales From Austria and Bohemia It is, first and foremost, a lore of the human spirit. It has now been the fashion for many years among the majority of mythologists to trace these ideas to 'impressions of nature, ' especially to solar changes, or to the phenomena of the tempest. On this latter theory Dr. Schwartz has written a most ingenious book on Tire Origin of aiyt/wlog', with illustrations from the Greek and German legends. His brother-ih law, Kuhn, follows the same path. Hahn, Max Miiller, Sir G. W. Cox, and others, see in the myths of the Aryan nations chie¿y allegories of dawns, sunsets, and the like.
