Excerpt from Greek Folk Poesy, Vol. 1: Annotated Translations, From the Whole Cycle of Romaic Folk-Verse and Folk-Prose; Folk-Verse
'Der gros se Aufschwung, den wahrend des letzlen Menschenalters die Wissenschaften genommen haben, ist der Mythologie. . . nicht zu gute gekommen . . . Es herrscht die grossle Unsicherkeit nicht blos uber die Grundfragen, sondern auch uber die Mittel, mit demen sie beantwortel werden mussen, und selbst die Fragestellung steht keineswegs fest. Der vershiedenen mythologischen Systeme sind fast ebenso viele, als der Forsher.' - Gruppe, Culte und Mythen, Vorwort iii.
'But as the changes in our knowledge of the past history of Mankind have mostly bee affected without reference to the study of Mythology and Folklore, their effect upon these studies has never bee set forth clearly, and. . . the consequences are doctrinal anarchy in both departments.' - Nutt, Waifs amd Strays of Celtic Tradition, vol. 1., Intr. xvi.
