Excerpt from Hints and Facts on the Origin of Man and of His Intellectual Faculties
V. To return to the subject. It would take too long for me to mention the fables of the Old poets, both on the origin of man and of civil society; as also to repeat their tales about Orpheus, who with his harmony gathered out of the woods the wild tribes Of men and led them to social life; and about Amphion, who by the sound of his harp moved the stones, and built the first towns.
