Reading edition
“Weil sie die Welt eingerichtet haben.” Creuzer, Symbolik und Mythologie der alten Vœlker, Bd. I. s. 169. It is not of any importance that Herodotus’ etymology is incorrect: what I wish to show is that he and his contemporaries entertained the conception of the gods as the authors of order.
