[225] Dione was the female Jupiter, her name meaning simply "the goddess,"
identical with the Italic "Juno," formed from [Greek: Dios].

[226] But not the same character. At Dodona he was invoked as the Eternal.
Pausanias (X. c. 12, Sec. 5) says that the priestesses of that shrine used
this formula in their prayer: "Zeus was, Zeus is, Zeus shall be! O great
Zeus!" On Olympus he was not conceived as eternal, but only as immortal.

[227] Rev. G. W. Cox (A Manual of Mythology, London, 1867. The Mythology of
the Aryan Nations, London, 1870) has shown much ingenuity in his efforts
to trace the myths and legends of the Greeks, Germans, etc., back to some
original metaphors in the old Vedic speech, most of which relate to the
movements of the sun, and the phenomena of the heavens. It seems probable
that he carries this too far; for why cannot later ages originate myths as
well as the earlier? The analogies by which he seeks to approximate Greek,
Scandinavian, and Hindoo stories are often fanciful. And the sun plays so
overwhelming a part in this drama, that it reminds one of the picture in
"Hermann and Dorothea," of the traveller who looked at the sun till he
could see nothing else.

[237] Yet, even in Euripides, we meet a strain like that (Hecuba, line
800), which we may render as follows:--

"For, though perhaps we may be helpless slaves,
Yet are the gods most strong, and over them
Sits LAW supreme. The gods are under law,--
So do we judge,--and therefore we can live
While right and wrong stand separate forever."
