To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pausanias 2 relates that the temple of Zeus in Olympia, one of the most ancient and famous in Greece, was connected with the cult of Zeus on Mount Ida, and was founded by Herakles of Crete. At night as I looked on Mount Ida in the poetic light of the full moon, the blue peak which reaches up among the shimmering stars behind the silver mantle of snow, I thought of Anchises seeking in this isle the cradle of the Latin race.
"Antiquam exquirite matrem.
et spes discite vestras.
Creta Jovis magni m...edio jacet insula ponto, mons Idaeus ubi et gentis cunabula nostrae. " 3 1 Iliad, xvi. 233, Zef' ava 2 V. 13, 8.
3 ^Eneid, iii. 105.
MYTHS AND RELIGIONS OF CRETE 205 X.
Without the excavations in Crete we could never have under- stood one of the strangest things in the Homeric poems, which, though held as the song of a people in its youth, show a marked deficiency of religious feeling. What these bards have sung is rather a critique of the myths than veneration of the gods.
