The religions of ancient Greece and Rome are extinct. The so-called divinities
of Olympus have not a single worshipper among living men. They belong now not
to the department of theology, but to those of literature and taste. There they
still hold their place, and will continue to hold it, for they are too closely
connected with the finest productions of poetry and art, both ancient and modern,
to pass into oblivion.
