ABSTRACT
“By man are all things measured” (Protagoras). Ancient and modern peoples, young and old, see in natural phenomena themselves, dress these in their own form, and dower them with their own thoughts. Perhaps this instinctive anthropomorphism 1 was stronger in the Greeks than in any other peoples, or at all events they transformed it into a conscious principle of their spiritual and emotive life, and it made an indelible impress on their civilization.
