[492:3] ”SAVIOUR was a common t.i.tle of the SUN-G.o.ds of antiquity.”

(Wake: Phallism in Anct. Religs., p. 55.)

The ancient Greek writers speak of the Sun, as the ”Generator and Nourisher of all Things;” the ”Ruler of the World;” the ”First of the G.o.ds,” and the ”Supreme Lord of all Beings.” (Knight: Ancient Art and Mytho., p. 37.)

Pausanias (500 B. C.) speaks of ”The Sun having the surname of SAVIOUR.”

(Ibid. p. 98, _note_.)

”There is a very remarkable figure copied in Payne Knight's Work, in which we see on a man's shoulders a _c.o.c.k's_ head, whilst on the pediment are placed the words: ”THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.” (Inman: Anct.

Faiths, vol. i. p. 537.) This refers to the SUN. The c.o.c.k being the natural herald of the day, he was therefore sacred, among the ancients, to the Sun.” (See Knight: Anct. Art and Mytho., p. 70, and Lardner: vol.

viii. p. 377.)
