Volume 2 (of 6) Produced by Dave Maddock, Keith Edkins and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology: Volume 2" by Jacob Bryant is a historical and analytical work written in the early 19th century. The book delves into ancient mythology, aiming to separate factual tradition from fable while exploring the roots of various myths and symbols, particularly focusing on their etymology and historical context. The opening of this volume begins by addressing the terms "Phoenician" and "Phoenix," exploring their ancient meanings and significance. Bryant outlines how these terms were historically utilized by various cultures, particularly the Egyptians and Greeks, and discusses their implications in ancient history. He elaborates on how the Phoenicians were not merely a provincial name but a title that reflected honor and nobility, connecting it to other aspects of ancient culture, such as the palm tree's symbolism and its association with royalty and victories. This section sets the stage for a deeper examination of mythology and its influences across different regions, encouraging readers to consider historical context when reflecting on familiar myths.
