 (For thou art I and I am thou, thy name is mine, and mine is thine; for I am thy image). (Kenyon: Greek Papyrus, in the British Museum, 1893, p. 116, Pap. CXXII, 2. Cited by Dieterich: "Mithrasliturgie," p. 79.) The hero as image of the libido is strikingly illustrated in the head of Dionysus at Leiden (Roscher, I, Sp. 1128), where the hair rises like flame over the head. He is—like a flame: "Thy savior will be a flame." Firmicus Maternus ("De Errore Prof. Relig.," 104, p. 28) acquaints us with the fact that the god was saluted as bridegroom, and "young light." He transmits the corrupt Greek sentence, [Greek: de nynphe chaire nynphe neon phôs], with which he contrasts the Christian conception: "Nullum apud te lumen est nec est aliquis qui sponsus mereatur audire: unum lumen est, unus est sponsus. Nominum horum gratiam Christus accepit." Today Christ is still our hero and the bridegroom of the soul. These attributes will be confirmed in regard to Miss Miller's hero in what follows.], the companion and follower.]*
