And when it is said of his book, that he deposited it in the temple of Artemis, this only means that initiates alone could understand him. Cf. his book Die Philosophie des Heraklit von Ephesus im Lichte der Mysterienidee. Heraclitus comes before us as a man who took life with the greatest earnestness.
