Note 689 — Chapter VI · THE MAKING OF A GODDESS.
Reading edition
The fundamental unity of all the Greek goddesses was, I think, first observed by Gerhard, Ueber Metroon und Goetter-Mutter, 1849, p. 103, but his illuminating suggestion has been obscured for half a century by systems, such as that of Preller and Max Müller, that see in ancient deities impersonations of natural phenomena.
