Note 286 — Chapter XIII · CONFUCIANISM—I

See T. R. Glover's Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire, p. 23. See also F. C. Conybeare's admirable work Myth, Magic, and Morals, in which he says, "Latin hymns in honour of Isis seem to have been appropriated to Mary with little change; and I have seen statues of Isis set up in Christian churches as images of the Virgin" (p. 230). He also points out that in Asia Minor "the Virgin took the place of Cybele and Artemis."
