Many of the later writers adopted his views, and to ntany of the early Christian apologists his work was a welcome storehouse of material for use in their attacks upon the heathen divinities. The theory lias had defenders from the days (if its founder to the present time. In the eighteenth century it. was made prominent by Banier'a l.n my- thologie et les fables explique'e par I'Mstoire (Paris, 17:38), and with some admixture of the allegorizing tendency is found in those writers who endeavored to interpret Greek legends as a derivation from the biblical narrative, as in the Area Vow of Athanasius Kireber and others — a method which survived long, and is found even in 18!I3 in the Revue d'l i.n y. st mythologique of the Abbf Fourier. Some elements of Euheme- rism may also be attributed to those theories which see the origin of all mythologies, and even all religious emotions, in the worship of ancestors and spirits of the dead.
