To forward his design, many works were published: one of them, the Essai sur l'Unité des Cultes, of M. Bonald, is written, with great ingenuity. That Essay, and several others by the same author, were inserted in the Ambigu of Peltier, and deserve the attention, of every reader.

Strauss as first in the myth field though he allows that Dupuis in L'origine de tous les cultes had given the clue to the whole idea.
On this subject see the Introduction to Berard's De l'origine des cultes Arcadiens, and for a further discussion of the relationships between Izdubar and Hercules, see Jeremias' Izdubar-Nimrod, pp. 70-73, or his article in Roscher's Ausführliches Lexicon der Griechischen und Römischen Mythologie, ii. 821-823.
