Note 181 — Chapter II · THE ALEXANDRIAN DIVINITIES

So Ramsay, Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia, Oxford, 1895, I. p. 92, says that “the essential idea” of the mysteries was that all the gods there worshipped were but different forms of the one. In the “Greek Worship of Serapis and Isis,” I have endeavoured to show how this idea was elaborated in the cult of the Alexandrian divinities.
