[Footnote 5: Compare _Çat. 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 6: Charlevoix ap. Parkman.] [Footnote 7: Parkman, _loc. cit_. p. LXXII; Brinton, _Myths of the New World_, p. 248. A good instance of bad comparison in eschatology will be found in Geiger, _Ostir. Cult_. pp. 274-275.] [Footnote 8: Parkman, _loc. cit_. p. LXXXVI.] [Footnote 9: _Sits. Berl. Akad_. 1891, p. 15.] [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.] [Footnote 11: Brinton, _Myths of the New World_, pp. 85, 203.] [Footnote 12: _Ib_. pp. 86, 202.] [Footnote 13: Brinton, _Myths of the New World_, p. 243. The American Indians "uniformly regard the sun as heaven, the soul goes to the sun."] [Footnote 14: _Ib._ p. 245.] [Footnote 15: _Ib._ p. 239-40.] [Footnote 16: _Ib._ p. 50, 51.] [Footnote 17: _Ib._ pp. 242, 248, 255; Schoolcraft, III. 229.] [Footnote 18: Renouf, _Religion of Ancient Egypt_; pp. 103, 113 ff.] [Footnote 19: Teutonic Tuisco is doubtful, as the identity with Dyaus has lately been contested on phonetic grounds.] [Footnote 20: V[=a]ta, 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.] [Footnote 25: [Greek: o de chalkeos asphales aien edos menei ouranos], Pind.
