m" in Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics_; Boissier, op. cit., bk. i, chap. ii. [644] Spiegel, _Eranische Alterthumskunde_, bk. iv, chap. iii. [645] See the story of the power and fall of a great muni in Lassen's _Anthologia Sanscritica_. [646] So, many Christian and Moslem saints have been wonder-workers without being divinized. [647] Monier-Williams, _Brahmanism and Hinduism_, p. 510 f. [648] _Fortnightly Review_, 1872. [649] Stair, _Samoa_, p. 221; article "Bengal" in Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics_ (Brahmans often become evil spirits). [650] _The Todas_, pp. 193, 203, 446. [651] _The E['w]e-speaking Peoples_, p. 88 ff. [652] Breasted, _Records of Ancient Egypt_. [653] Sec. 357. [654] Here, as in the case of the divinization of living men (Sec. 347 n., above), outside suggestion is probable. [655] Cf. article "Caesarism" in Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics_. [656] Boissier, _La religion romaine_, i, 182. An illustration of religious ideas in the third century is afforded by the enrollment of Caracalla among the heroes, a divinizing decree of the Senate having been extorted by the turbulent and mercenary soldiery (Dio Cassius, ed. Boissevain [Eng. tr. by H. B. Foster], lxxix, 9). [657] A. Mueller, _Islam_, i, 494; W. Muir, _The Caliphate_, p. 553 ff. [658] In Isa. lxiii, 16, 'Abraham' appears to be a synonym of 'Israel,' and the reference then is to the nonrecognition of certain Jews by the national leaders. [659] The narratives of the Pentateuch; Herodotus, v, 66; Pausanias, i, 5, 1. [660] Article "Romulus" in Roscher's _Lexikon_. [661] See below, Sec. 652. [662] Herodotus, v, 66 al. [663] Saussaye, _Religion of the Teutons_, pp. 163, 170, 206. [664] The Ojibwa god Manabozho (described in Schoolcraft's _Algic Researches_) by some inadvertence got the name 'Hiawatha,' and so appears in Longfellow's poem. The real Hiawatha was a distinguished Iroquois statesman (supposed to be of the fifteenth century), the founder of the Iroquois League, honored as a patriot, but never worshiped as a god. See H. Hale, _Iroquois Book of Rites_, Index, s.v. _Hiawatha_; Beauchamp, in _Journal of American Folklore_, October, 1891. [665] F. Pfister, _Der Reliquienkult im Altertum_.
