[1752] Job xxvi, 12; Ps. lxxxix, 11 [10]; Isa. li, 9.

[1753] Deut. xxxii, 8 f.

[1754] Gen. iv, 17 ff.; v, vi, 4; Ezek. xxxii, 27 (revised
text).

[1755] Gen. iii, 14 ff. On the loss of immortality see
above, Sec. 834.

[1756] On the ceremony of mourning for Tammuz (Ezek. viii,
14) see Jastrow, _Religion of Babylonia and Assyria_, p. 574
ff.; Pseudo-Lucian, _De Syria Dea_. In Babylonia the
ceremony appears to have been an official lament for the
loss of vegetation (the women mourners being attached to the
temple); in Syria (Hierapolis) it took on orgiastic elements
(perhaps an importation from Asia Minor). The women of Ezek.
viii were attached, probably, to the service of the temple.

[1758] This is true of all mythical and legendary creations
of the thought of communities, but in an especial degree of
the Greek.

[1759] Saussaye, _Religion of the Teutons_, Index, s.v.
_Myths_; he distinguishes between the earlier and the later
stories; R. M. Meyer, _Altgermanische Religionsgeschichte_,
chaps. iii, iv.

[1760] Folk-lore and legend mingle with the myths.

[1761] See R. M. Meyer, op. cit., p. 444 ff.

[1762] Even in great modern religions nominally monotheistic
a virtual polytheism continues to exist.

[1763] See above, Sec. 683 ff.

[1764] This conception survives in the great polytheistic
cults, and may be recognized in the later religions of
redemption.

[1765] Compare the Brazilian Tapuyas (Botocudos); see
article "Brazil" in Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and
Ethics_.

[1767] Sec. 365 ff. On this attitude see the reports of the
religions of particular peoples and the summaries of such
reports in dictionaries and encyclopedias, and in such works
as Steinmetz, _Ethnologische Studien zur ersten Entwicklung
der Strafe_; Westermarck, _Origin and Development of the
Moral Ideas_; also articles in the _Journal of the
Anthropological Institute_, the reports of the American
Bureau of Ethnology, and similar publications.
