Helios (the Sun) is called by the Greeks the "yellow-haired."
(Goldzhier: Hebrew Mytho., p. 137.)

The Sun's rays is signified by the flowing golden locks which stream
from the head of Kephalos, and fall over the shoulders of Bellerophon.
(Cox: Aryan Mytho., vol. i. p. 107.)

Perseus, son of the virgin Danae, was called the "Golden Child." (Ibid.
vol. ii. p. 58.) "The light of early morning is not more pure than was
the color on his fair cheeks, and the golden locks streamed bright over
his shoulders, like the rays of the sun when they rest on the hills at
midday." (Tales of Ancient Greece, p. 83.)

The Saviour Dionysus wore a long flowing robe, and had long golden hair,
which streamed from his head over his shoulders. (Aryan Mythology, vol.
ii. p. 293.)

Ixion was the "Beautiful and Mighty," with golden hair flashing a glory
from his head, dazzling as the rays which stream from Helios, when he
drives his chariot up the heights of heaven; and his flowing robe
glistened as he moved, like the vesture which the Sun-god gave to the
wise maiden Medeia, who dwelt in Kolchis. (Tales of Ancient Greece, p.
47.)

Theseus enters the city of Athens, as Christ Jesus is said to have

tied gracefully behind his head. His "soft beauty" excites the mockery
of the populace, who pause in their work to jest with him. (Cox: Aryan
Mythology, vol. ii. p. 63.)

Thus we see that long locks of golden hair, and a flowing robe, are
mythological attributes of the Sun.

[506:2] We have already seen (in Chapter XX.) that the word "_Christ_"
signifies the "Anointed," or the "Messiah," and that many other
personages beside Jesus of Nazareth had this _title_ affixed to their
names.

[507:1] The theory which has been set forth in this chapter, is also
more fully illustrated in Appendix C.

[507:2] These three letters, _the monogram of the Sun_, are the
celebrated I. H. S., which are to be seen in Roman Catholic churches at
the present day, and which are now the monogram of the Sun-god _Christ_
Jesus. (See Chapter XXXVI.)

CHAPTER XL.

CONCLUSION.

We now come to the last, but certainly not least, question to be
answered; which is, what do we really know of the man Jesus of Nazareth?
How much of the Gospel narratives can we rely upon as fact?

Jesus of Nazareth is so enveloped in t
