Note 690 — Chapter XII · HEATHENDOM.

Cod. Exon. p. 378. If Geát really be Wóden, this is another approximation to Hermes in his phallic character. Altogether the myth of the ἱερός γάμος, so constant in Greek mythology, is scarcely traceable in the North. The Wóden worship, at least, may have had something more of the character of the Apollo worship among the Dorians.
