ABSTRACT
THE deities of whom this chapter has to treat have all one feature in common, that mythology represents them as young, the sons of Zeus or of some other of the great gods already discussed. As a matter of fact, most if not all are demonstrably quite old, but they are generally imagined under the forms of young, or at least not old men, and some of them are, as it were, an embodiment of the new and progressive character of Greek civilization and thought.
