ence in this regard
belongs to their later period. After the fall of the later
Babylonian empire (B.C. 539) the term 'Chaldean' became a
synonym of 'astrologer' (so in the Book of Daniel, B.C.
165-164); cf. Jastrow, _Aspects of Religious Belief and
Practice in Babylonia and Assyria_, p. 259 f.

[1486] As in Goldziher's _Hebrew Mythology_ (Eng. tr.), a
view later abandoned by the author.

[1492] This is true even in the case of abstract deities;
see above, Sec.Sec. 696, 702 ff.

[1493] A myth is a purely imaginative explanation of
phenomena; a legend rests on facts, but the facts are
distorted. The two terms are often confused the one with the
other.

[1494] Some peculiar combinations appear in the figures of
Semiramis and the Kuretes and the Korybantes; see the
articles in Roscher's _Lexikon_ under these headings.

[1495] Cf. Gomme, _Folklore as an Historical Science_; Van
Gennep, _La formation des legendes_.

[1496] See the various folk-lore journals; W. W. Newell,
article "Folk-lore" in Johnson's _Universal Cyclopaedia_; cf.
Gomme, op. cit., and Sec. 881 below.

[1497] So in the cases of the Australian ancestors, the
Polynesian, Teutonic, Finnic, Slavic, Greek, Phrygian, and
other heroes and gods, the Hebrew patriarchs, and many other
such figures.
