Horatio Hale, the veteran among comparative ethnologists, Professor Tiele, in his Le Mythe de Kronos , has very strongly protested against the downright misrepresentations of what I and my friends have really written. 'Professor Tiele had been appealed to as an unimpeachable authority.
Now, the Maoris, a noble race, with poems of great beauty and speculative power, were cannibals, like Cronos. To my mind, 'scientific exactitude' is rather shown in confessing ignorance than in adding to the list of guesses. Conclusion as to Professor Tiele I did not cite a tithe of what he actually did say to our credit.
Max Muller has not wholly succeeded in giving the full drift of Professor Tiele's remarks, I am certain that it is from no lack of candour. The Story of Cronos Professor Tiele now devotes fifteen pages to the story of Cronos, and to my essay on that theme. No Being said, in Maori, 'Fiat lux! Light is not here created.
Supplied from the context, through comparison with similar compositions. Lit., 'my soul cannot overcome. The composition continues in this strain, Ashurbanabal and Nabu speaking alternately. See Tiele, Babyl.-Assyr. Geschichte, pp. 371 seq. George Smith, Annals of Ashurbanabal, p. 121. Rassam Cylinder, VR. col. v. ll. 95-103. George Smith, Annals of Ashurbanabal, pp. 119-121.
He removes the very corner-stone of his edifice, which Tiele does not object to our describing as founded on the sand. Mr. Perhaps Professor Tiele has altered his mind, and, while keeping what Mr.
In all this I certainly saw no 'reason, but I have given in tabular form the general, if inharmonious, conclusions of more exact and conscientious scholars, 'their variegated hypotheses, as Mannhardt says in the case of Demeter. My error, rebuked by Professor Tiele, is the lack of that 'scientific exactitude' exhibited by the explanations arranged in my tabular form. My Reply to Professor Tiele
These derivations, 'shocking to common sense, are to be distrusted as part of the intoxication of new learning. Some Assyrian scholars actually derive Hades from Bit Edi or Bit Hadi 'though, unluckily, says Tiele, 'there is no such word in the Assyrian text. On the whole topic Tiele's essay deserves to be consulted.
This touch appears to have been added by the Hebrew writer. Nebuchadnezzar is but a disguise for Antiochus Epiphanes. VR. 33, col. ii. l. 22-col. iii. l. 12. VR. 61, col. vi. ll. 1-13.

Tiele is of the decided opinion that Ashur was at his origin a nature god of some kind, and he goes so far as to suggest, though with due reserve, the possible identification of Ashur with Sin.
In 1887, I was not careful to quote what Professor Tiele had said against us. First, as to our want of novelty. That merit, I think, I had never claimed. I was proud to point out that we had been anticipated by Eusebius of Caesarea, by Fontenelle, and doubtless by many others. We repose, as Professor Tiele justly says, on the researches of Dr. Tylor.
