Excerpt from Researches Into the Nature and Affinity of Ancient and Hindu Mythology The affinity which appears to exist amongst the polytheisms of India, Egypt, Greece, and Italy, has already attracted considerable attention: but it will perhaps be admitted, that no correct opinion can be formed on this point, unless just notions, with respect to the principles upon which ancient mythology was founded, have been previously acquired. Unfortunately, however, all authors, whether ancient or modern, who have attempted to explain these principles.

Excerpt from Indian Mythology: According to the Mahabharata, in Outline If we are ever to find our way through the jungle of Indian Mythology which stretches over so many different places and times. And the prolixity of which is as great as that of Indian nature itself, and if We wish to arrive at a general survey of it, particularly at an exposition of it for the public at large that does not care or trouble to go into details. Nor attend to disputed and contradictory matter, then we must first have mustered and mastered the different stadia through which it has developed itself. Not until we have had correct and reliable, reviews of these stages and have seen what all the different periods have in common, not until then will it be possible to compile a general Indian Mythology. For it will not do to mix up the different periods and call such a mixture or jumble Indian mythology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Karuk Indian Myths Indian myths are valuable as literature in direct proportion to the faithfulness to the old style Indian linguistic form in which they are told. Volumes of mythology distorted by being told loosely in English will be of only secondary usefulness in the future, when ethnology and mythology have become more exacting sciences. The only proper method for recording mythology is to obtain the services of a good mythologist and then to take down syllable by syllable in his own language, with unrestrained literary freedom, the story as he tells it, and as nearly as possible as he heard it from those a little farther back in the lines of elders. These ideal conditions were fulfilled in the following series of texts. Caught exactly as naturally dictated by Mrs. Phoebe Maddux, Indian name Imkyanva'an, meaning Wild Sunflower Greens Gatherer, 65-year-old full-blood Indian woman of the Karuk Tribe of northwestern California, they not only constitute Karuk as it is spoken and narrated, but Karuk literature, which when its syllables are analyzed and the exquisite force and balance of the elements appreciated, ranks well with the literature of any language. The Karuk, whose name means "upriver" Indians, hold a stretch of the central course of the Klamath, the most like the Columbia River of any of Californias streams. Along the banks of the central Klamath lived the Karuks, their villages of rows of well-built plank houses hugging the stream. Here they knew and named every rock and pool by the river, every gully and fallen tree upslope. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Indian Myth and Legend During the early Vedic Age in India prominence was given to the gods: the social organization was of patri archal character; the goddesses remained shadowy and vague, some being, indeed, little more than figures of speech. A great change took place, however, after the invasions of the Bharata and other tribes who are now referred to as late comers. Profound and speculative thinkers attained to the pantheistic conception of the world soul; new doctrines, which are not referred to in the Vedic hymns, regarding the ages of the universe and transmigration of souls, received wide acceptance as the result of missionary efforts: the Vedic gods were reduced to the position of minor deities and new god desses rose into prominence, one indeed being Bharati.

Excerpt from The Mythology of All Races, Vol. 6 of 13: Indian; Iranian HE mythology Of India claims unique interest by virtue Of its unparalleled length Of life. It is true that not even the discoveries at Boghaz Ki render it prudent for us to place the Rgoeda at an earlier period than 1500 B. C., and in part at least that collection may come from three centuries later, so that as contrasted with the dates Of Egyptian and Babylonian records the earliest monument Of Aryan mythology is comparatively recent. In mass Of content and in value for mythology, however, these cannot compare with the Rgoeda. Of still more importance is the fact that from the period Of the Rgoeda to the present day, a Space Of some thirty-five hundred years, we have a mythology which is in constant but organic development. The high mythic systems Of Teuton, Celt, and Slav, Of Greek and Roman, have perished before the onslaught Of a loftier faith and survive in little else than folk-lore. In India, on the contrary, though foreign invasion has Often swept over the north-west Of the land, though Isl'am has annexed souls as well as territories, though Christianity (especially in the south) has contributed elements to the faith Of the people, still it remains true that the religion and the mythology Of the land are genuinely their own and for this reason have in them selves the constant potency Of fresh growth. Moreover, amidst the ceaseless change which is the heritage Of human things, there is relative stability in the Simpler thoughts Of the human mind, and as in many parts Of India the peasant still labours with the implements and in the mode Of his ancestors in periods far remote, 80 his mind frames the same hypotheses to account for those phenomena Of nature which in India more than else where determine irrevocably his weal or his woe. The rich variety Of the mythology, despite its attraction for the student Of the history of myths, renders the task Of concise exposition one Of peculiar difficulty. For the mythology Of the present day available material is enormous: each part Of the vast area Of India has its own abundant store Of myth and tradition, and to give detail for this period would be impossible. The same consideration applies with but Slightly lessened force for the earlier epochs: the Veda, the epics, the Paranas, the literature of the Buddhists and Of the Jains, each present data in lavish abundance. It has been necessary, therefore, to cir cumscribe narrowly the scope Of the subject by restricting the treatment to that mythology which stands in close connexion with religion and which conveys to us a conception Of the manner in which the Indian pictured to himself the origin Of the world and Of life, the destiny Of the universe and Of the souls Of man, the gods and the evil spirits who supported or menaced his existence. Gods and demons were very present to the mind Of the Indian then as they are today, and they are inextricably involved in innumerable stories Of folk-lore, Of fairy tale, and Of speculation as to the origin of institutions and customs. The task Of selecting such myths as will best illustrate the nature Of the powers Of good and evil is one in which we cannot hope for complete success; and the problem is rendered still more hard by the essential vagueness Of many Of the figures Of Indian mythology: the mysticism Of Indian concep tion tends ever to a pantheism alien to the clear-cut creations Of the Hellenic imagination.
