of Egypt_, pp. 64, 173 ff. Different conceptions, however, appear in different stages of eschatological thought. Probably the older view was that all the dead descended to the Underworld. According to another view, the good ascended to heaven and accompanied the sun on his daily voyage over the heavenly ocean. [174] _Revue archeologique_, 1903, and Reinach, _Orpheus_ (Eng. tr.), p. 88 f. [175] _Gorgias_, 523-526; _Republic_, x, 614; _Laws_, x, 904 f.; _Phaedo_, 113 f. [176] Isa. lxv, 17-21; lxvi, 24; Enoch, x, 12-22. [177] Enoch, xxii. [178] Enoch, civ, 6; xcix, 11. [179] _Secrets of Enoch_, chaps. vii-x. For the third heaven cf. 2 Cor. xii, 2-4. Varro also (quoted in Augustine, _De Civ. Dei_, vii, 6) assigned the souls of the dead to a celestial space beneath the abode of the gods. [180] Matt. xxv, 46; 1 Thess. iv, 17; 2 Pet. ii, 4; iii, 13; Rev. xx, 15; xxi, 1; 2 Cor. xii, 2-4. [181] See, for example, the _Revelation of the Monk of Evesham_, Eng. tr. by V. Paget (New York, 1909). [182] _Republic_, x, 614. [183] Herzog-Hauck, _Real-Encyklopaedie_, Index, s.v. _Fegfeuer_; _Jewish Encyclopedia_, article "Purgatory." [184] American Indians (H. C. Yarrow, _Introduction to the Study of Mortuary Customs among the North American Indians_, p. 5 ff.); Egypt (Wilkinson, _The Ancient Egyptians_, chap. x); see article "Funerailles" in _La Grande Encyclopedie_. Grant Allen, in _The Evolution of the Idea of God_, chap. iii, connects the idea of bodily resurrection with the custom of inhumation and the idea of immortality with cremation, but this view is not borne out by known facts. [185] Frazer, _Golden Bough_, 2nd ed., i, 262, 278. [186] The doctrine of reincarnation in India followed on that of Hades, and stood in a certain opposition to it. Cf. Hopkins, _Religions of India_, pp. 204 ff., 530 n. 3; Bloomfield, _Religion of the Veda_, pp. 211, 252 ff. [187] _Zoroastrian Studies_, p. 236. Prexaspes says that "if the dead rise again" Smerdis maybe the son of Cyrus. He may mean that this is not probable. Smerdis, he would in that case say, is certainly dead, and this pretender can be the son of Cyrus only in case the dead come to life. [188] Diogenes Laertius in Mueller, _Fragmenta Historicorum Gracorum_, i, 289; cf. Plutarch, _Isis and Osiris_, 47, and Herodotus, i, 131-140. See Spiegel, _Eranische Alterthu
