represented by the loud
snoring of the wolf; and then the huntsman, the morning Sun, comes in
all his strength and majesty, and chases away the night-clouds and kills
the wolf, and revives old Grandmother Earth, and brings Little Red
Riding-Hood to life again." (Bunce, Fairy Tales, their Origin and
Meaning, p. 161.)

[82:7] Civilizing gods, who diffuse intelligence and instruct
barbarians, are also _Solar Deities_. Among these _Oannes_ takes his
place, as the _Sun-god_, giving knowledge and civilization. (Rev. S.

[83:6] Since writing the above we find that Mr. Bryant, in his
"_Analysis of Ancient Mythology_" (vol. ii. p. 291), speaking of the
mystical nature of the name _John_, which is the same as _Jonah_, says:
"The prophet who was sent upon an embassy to the Ninevites, is styled
_Ionas_: a title probably bestowed upon him as a messenger of the Deity.
The great Patriarch who preached righteousness to the Antediluvians, is
styled _Oan_ and _Oannes_, which is _the same as Jonah_."
