What reading level is Lectures On the Origin And Growth of the Conception of God As Illustrated By Anthropology And History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Digitized by Google 142 III. POLTDEMONISM AND POLYTHEISM.
«ea, Maui, the god of the sun, a kind of Polynesian Heracles, and his grandmother, perhaps a personification of the night. In the Hervey Islands, other cosmic deities appear : Yatea, half man and half shark, god of the sea and of vegetation, or of heaven. In the Sandwich Islands there is a goddess of the moon, Hina, " the woman of the white locks ; " in Hawai, Pelë, the goddess of the great local volcano. And, finally, there are gods of ...war, of the harvest, of fish, and what not. The relative power of these deities, however, varies in the different archipelagos, and in no case do we find that the tikis have been subordi- nated to the atuas, or even that any attempt has been made to co-ordinate these latter, any more than the host of little insular states into which the Polynesian archi- pelagos are divided.^ The mythology of the Polynesians has sometimes been compared with that of the Finns, in regard to its stage of religious development.
