“In this way antiquity disposes of its sun-gods. The Hebrews turned [the gods] into Patriarchs. Adam, Abraham, Israel, were names of Saturn. Edom is Adam; and the ancient usage was to name the nation, the land or city after the chief god. The Greeks made these deities founders of tribes.”— Samuel Dunlap (1858), Vestiges of the Spirit of Man, citing Franz Movers (1841) [2]
