nd while Kallisto was changed to the constellation of the Ursa,
her son Arkas became the ancestor of the Arkadians. Here, we are told,
we have a clear instance of men being the descendants of animals, and of
women being changed into wild beasts and stars--beliefs well known among
the Cahrocs and the Kamilarois.'

Here I recognise Mr. Max Muller's version of my remarks on Artemis.
{139a} Our author has just remarked in a footnote that Schwartz 'does
not mention the title of the book where his evidence has been given.' It
_is_ an inconvenient practice, but with Mr. Max Muller this reticence is
by no means unusual. _He_ 'does not mention the book where 'my 'evidence
is given.'

Anthropologists are here (unless I am mistaken) contrasted with
'classical scholars who draw their information, first of all, from Greek
sources.' I need not assure anyone who has looked into my imperfect
works that I also drew my information about Artemis 'first of all from
Greek sources,' in the original. Many of these sources, to the best of
my knowledge, are not translated: one, Homer, I have translated myself,
with Professor Butcher and Messrs. Leaf and Myers, my old friends.

The idea and representation of Artemis as [Greek] (many-breasted), 'we
are told, was borrowed from the East, a large term.' I say 'she is even
blended in ritual with a monstrous many-breasted divinity of Oriental
religion.' {139b} Is this 'large term' too vague? Then consider the
Artemis of Ephesus and 'the alabaster statuette of the goddess' in
Roscher's Lexikon, p. 558. Compare, for an Occidental parallel, the many-
breasted goddess of the maguey plant, in Mexico. {140} Our author
writes, 'we are told that Artemis's most ancient history is to be studied
in Arkadia.' My words are, 'The Attic and Arcadian legends of Artemis
are confessedly _among the oldest_.' Why should 'Attic' and the
qualifying phrase be omitted?

Mr. Max Muller goes on--citing, as I also do, Otfried Muller:--'Otf
