“humor us euhemerus…”
.
(“euhemerism” is an approach to the interpretation of mythology in which mythological accounts are presumed to have originated from real historical events or personages)
.
(“euhemerism” supposes that historical accounts become myths as they are exaggerated in the retelling, accumulating elaborations and alterations that reflect cultural mores)
(it was named for the greek mythographer ‘euhemerus’, who lived in the late 4th century BC)
(in the more recent literature of myth, such as bulfinch’s mythology, “euhemerism” is termed the “historical theory” of mythology)
(“euhemerus” was not the first to attempt to rationalize mythology in historical terms, as euhemeristic views are found in earlier writings including those of ‘xenophanes’, ‘herodotus’, ‘hecataeus of abdera’, and ‘ephorus’)
.
(however, the enduring influence of ‘euhemerus’ upon later thinkers such as ‘ennius’ and ‘antoine banier’ identified him as the traditional founder of this school of thought)
