So was my brief visit to Olympus begun and ended.  In its results it has perhaps been neither elevating nor remarkably instructive, but it has given me a better understanding of, and a better liking for, that great company of mythological beings who used to preside over the destinies of the Greeks.  They appeared more human than godlike to my eyes.  They were companionable to a degree, and for a time, at least, would prove congenial associates for a summer outing, but as a steady diet—­well, I am not at all surprised that, as men waxed more mature in years and in experience, these titanic members of the Olympian four hundred lost their power and became no greater factor in the life of the large society of mankind than any other group of people, equal in number and of seeming importance, whose days and nights are given over solely to pleasure and the morbid pursuit of notoriety.
