On the worship of Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Ceres, Neptune, Bacchus, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Æsculapius, Cupid, the Graces, and the Dioscuri among the Dorians.

1. Having now considered the worship of those deities which either wholly or partially owed their origin to the Dorians, it now becomes necessary, in order to complete our account of the religion of that race, also to point out those various worships which they adopted from other nations.

This inquiry will be of value in two other respects than the plain and immediate result to which it leads; viz. from the light it throws on the history of the Doric colonies, and likewise on the Doric character, upon which the mode of worship had a most powerful influence.

But since the subject embraced in its full extent would be almost endless (there being no part of ancient history on which there are such ample accounts as on the local worships), we must give up all attempt at completeness, and rest satisfied with a narrower view.

To begin then with Jupiter. It is remarkable that there was no great establishment of the worship of this god (except the Phrygian in Crete) in any Doric country, but wherever it occurred was connected with and subordinate to that of some other deity.
