Volym 2 fortsätter det etymologiska argumentet, kring urgamla religioner. Det blir mer och mer fantasifullt; vilket inte är så märkligt eftersom Bryant tar Babels torn för fakta, och letar efter konsonantförskjutningar och överförda bemärkelser mellan orden.

Jag ser inte att denna volym innehåller speciellt mycket som kan vara till nytta för en modern läsare.
