were one of two classes. First, tho Hosts of Hea.

In relation to deifed mortals who were they =
They were those who lived and died in the golden
age. Then the question arises, when was the golden

first Immediately following the creation--the other
following the deluge.
1t was to correct all false notions upoN this suh

and OF the earlier ages. Here Dr. H. went infinitely
into the subject of the earlier heather mythology,
