The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v1.c18.s1.68

v1.c18.s1.68

¹ Cf. Wissowa, *Religion und Kultus der Römer*², p. 142; E. Meyer, *Gesch. des Alt.*³ I. ii. p. 872. Von Schroeder’s views as to Apollo and the Charites (cf. Agni’s flames as maidens) are interesting (*Arische Religion*, ii. 497 ff.), but not conclusive. The legend of the theft of fire (Prometheus, Loki) is only faintly seen in the figure of Mātariçvan (Chap. 9, § 6) and possibly that of Bhṛgu (Chap. 19, § 1).
