Herakles had any equivalent in Latin, it would necessarily begin with S,
and not with H, as septa corresponds to epta, sequor to epomai, etc.
It should be noted, however, that Mommsen, in the fourth edition of
his History, abandons this view, and observes: "Auch der griechische
Herakles ist fruh als Herclus, Hercoles, Hercules in Italien einheimisch
und dort in eigenthumlicher Weise aufgefasst worden, wie es scheint
zunachst als Gott des gewagten Gewinns und der ausserordentlichen
Vermogensvermehrung." Romische Geschichte, I. 181. One would gladly
learn Mommsen's reasons for recurring to this apparently less defensible
opinion.]

[Footnote 114: As Max Muller observes, "apart from all mythological
considerations, Sarama in Sanskrit is the same word as Helena in Greek."
Op. cit. p. 490. The names correspond phonetically letter for letter,
as, Surya corresponds to Helios, Sarameyas to Hermeias, and Aharyu to
Achilleus. Muller has plausibly suggested that Paris similarly answers
to the Panis.]

[Footnote 116: Nor is there any ground for believing that the serpent in
the Eden myth is intended for Satan. The identification is entirely the
work of modern dogmatic theology, and is due, naturally enough, to the
habit, so common alike among theologians and laymen, of reasoning about
the Bible as if it were a single book, and not a collection of
writings of different ages and of very different degrees of historic
authenticity. In a future work, entitled "Aryana Vaedjo," I hope to
examine, at considerable length, this interesting myth of the garden of
Eden.]
