ref: 1808: The Medical and Physical Journal, vol. XIX (January–June 1808), “Dr. Thomas Beddoes’s Letter to Sir Joseph Banks”, page 469 (William Thorne, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street)
text: Odin might himself have saved his favourite, and he might have slain Svipdag’s son Asmund with his spear Gunguer; but he does not do so; instead, he brings Vagnhofde to protect him. This is well calculated from an epic standpoint, while dii ex machina, when they appear in person on the battle-field with their superhuman strength, diminish the effect of the deeds of mortal heroes, and deprive every distress in which they have taken part of its most earnest significance. Homer never violated this rule without injury to the honour either of his gods or of his heroes.
ref: 1891: Viktor Rydberg and Rasmus B. Anderson (translator), Teutonic Mythology, page 182 (2004 reprint; Kessinger Publishing; →ISBN, 9780766188914)

Were there not it must infallibly be dull, and The Egoist is never dull.
