[Footnote 5: Compare Cat. Br. VI. 1. 1, 12; VII. 5. 1, 2 sq., for the Hindu tortoise in its first form. The totem-form of the tortoise is well known in America. (Brinton, Myths of the New World, p. 85.)]

[Footnote 10: Brinton,
American Hero Myths, p. 174. The
first worship was Sun-worship,
then Viracocha-worship arose,
which kept Sun-worship
while it predicated a ’power beyond.]

American Indians “uniformly
regard the sun as heaven, the
soul goes to the sun.”]

Teutonic Tuisco is doubtful, as the identity
with Dyaus has lately
been contested on phonetic grounds.]

ventus, does not agree very well with
Wotan.]
[Footnote 21: [=A]it. Br. III, 34. [Greek: haggaron pur] is really tautological, but beacon fires gave way to couriers and [Greek: haggaros] lost the sense of fire, as did [Greek: haggelos].]
[Footnote 22: But the general belief that fire (Agni, Ignis, Slavic ogni) was first brought to earth from heaven by a half-divine personality is (at least) Aryan, as Kuhn has shown.]
[Footnote 23: Compare the kavis and ugijs (poets and priests) of the Veda with the evil spirits of the same names in the Avesta, like daeva = deva. Compare, besides, the Indo-Iranian feasts, medha, that accompany this Bacchanalian liquor-worship.]
[Footnote 24: Ludwig
interprets the three Ribhus as the
three seasons personified.
Etymologically connected is
Orpheus, perhaps.]
