Greek mythology. Layard has ascribed to Niebuhr the 

 following significant remarks : There is a want in 

 Grecian art which neither I, nor any man now alive, 

 can supply. There is not enough in Egypt to account 

 for the peculiar art and the peculiar mythology which 

 we find in Greece. That the Egyptians did not 

 originate it I am convinced, though neither I, nor any 

 man now alive, can say who were the originators. 

 But the time will come when, on the borders of the 

 Tigris and Euphrates, those who come after me will 

 live to see the origin of Grecian art and Grecian 

 mythology.'
