Semitic Influence in Hellenic Mythology: With Special Reference to the Recent Mythological Works of the Rt Hon, Prof. F (Classic Reprint)

The leaders in England of two schools of mythology, based mainly in the one case on A ryan linguistics and in the other on anthropology, have recently published their revised, and probably final, conclusions. The time, therefore, seems opportune for a statement of the principles of a thirdS chool, which, for present purposes, I may style the A ryoS emitic. I ts members, whilst paying every respect to the s} stem of A ryan philology, and fully recognizing the vast results that have sprung from the scientific application of A ryan linguistics, are nevertheless of opinion that the A ryanists have been unable to explain Hellenic mythology and Hellenic archaic history as a whole, because they have almost wholly ignored or denied the existence of that great mass of Semitic influence, which the A ryo-S emitic School hold is to be found throughout the length and breadth of Hellas. This latterS chool, moreover, is in entire sympathy with the researches of anthropology in general, and of folklore in particular.
