Excerpt from Essai sur les Monuments Grecs Et Romains Relatifs au Mythe de Psyché
S0phie de l'ecole s'inspiraient de conceptions très - répandues, et gardaient comme un reflet des croyances populaires; mais ils ne présentent pas, dans un enchaînement continu, la suite d'idées qui constitue le mythe de Psyché En l'absence de témoignages écrits les monuments figurés pouvaient seuls nous apporter des notions certaines; d'autre part, la richesse et la variété des documents de cet ordre nous per mettaient de croire qu'aucun des points importants du mythe ne nous échapperait; enfin la nature même des monuments nous a paru répondre a toutes les exigences d'une enquête attentive.
