The classes will be as follows:
1. Of those who were worshipped by the Hellenic and Pelasgian races, and probably by all others known in the inner Homeric world.
These were,
- 1. Jupiter.
- 2. Minerva.
- 3. Apollo.
- 4. Latona.
- 5. Diana.
- 6. Neptune.
The three first of these may be considered as deities of immemorial and universal worship. Neptune was far more Hellenic than Pelasgian: and indeed his place in the list is doubtful.
2. Of immemorial Hellenic worship.
- 1. Juno.
- 2. Persephone.
- 3. Pluto or Aidoneus.
3. Of established Pelasgian worship.
- 1. Demeter or Ceres.
- 2. Venus, more recent than the former.
4. Of worship introduced to the Greek races within the memory of man.
