Synopsis
Excerpt from Zeus, Vol. 2: A Study in Ancient Religion; Zeus God of the Dark Sky (Thunder and Lightning); Part I, Text and Notes
Thirdly, I use my notes deliberately for the mention or discussion of side-issues and subsidiary points, provided that these arise directly out of the text. I shall no doubt be told that I am pursuing hares. But hares, after all, may be caught and are worth the catching. Their pursuit is to be regretted only if it hinders the main march of the argument - only, that is, if the chase crosses the text. The footnote saves the situation.
