To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is therefore still possible that the myth of Indra, Vritra, and the waters represents a specialised poetic treatment of a myth of thunder- storm, cloud, and rain. The myth may have, so to speak, been brought down to earth : Indra, the storm god, becomes a Hercules, and kills a dragon who hoards in the mountains (formerly, the clouds), the rivers (formerly, the rain of the clouds). For a final solution of this most important theme in mythology it seems to me that we must look to the future. T...he confirmation of Hillebrandt's masterly theory, if it comes at all, must come from Iran or Western Asia. Such confirmation should establish more definitely Indra's and Vritra's character in the 1 82 The Religion of the Veda Indo-Persian time from which, if not from a stil earlier time, dates their beginning. If these earlie data should by any chance ever show Indra an( Vritra in the mutual relation of summer and winter then Hillebrandt's hypothesis, and I fear not unti then, would be triumphantly vindicated.
