Excerpt from La Mythologie: Dans l'Art Ancien Et Moderne Les Grecs ont donné à leurs dieux la forme humaine et Phidias en a expliqué la raison en disant Si nous donnons aux dieux la forme humaine c'est parce que nous n'en connaissons pas de plus parfaite. Mais ce n est qu'après une lente élaboration que l'art est parvenu à fixer les types des dieux tels que nous les connaissons. A l'époque où sont nées les légendes multiples qui composent la mythologie, on se conteh tait de fabriquer des idoles grossières, dont les vases de style archaïque nous offrent fréquemment l'image (fig.

René Ménard
Edit ProfileEducation
Menard completed his novitiate after studying in Paris, La Flèche, Bourges, and Rouen.
Career
Menard entered the Jesuit order as a novice, at Paris, November 7, 1624. Menard was an instructor at Orléans (1629 - 32) and at Moulins (1636 - 39). He had long cherished a desire to enter the missionary field and was ordered in 1640 to reinforce the Jesuits in Canada, where he arrived about the last of June. The new missionary was detailed to learn the Algonquian language and was registered at Sillery for the first year. In 1641 he accompanied co-workers to Huronia, where he was expected to evangelize the outlying tribes of Algonquian stock. In April 1642 Pijart and Ménard opened a mission for the Nipissing, north of the lake of that name. Because of this tribe's wandering habits, the mission was abandoned eighteen months later and Ménard ministered among the Huron until 1649, when he withdrew to Canada. For several years he was stationed at Three Rivers, acting for a time as superior at that center. In 1656 he was one of the Jesuits chosen for the hazardous experiment of founding a French colony among the Iroquois. During the somewhat less than two years of this mission he suffered the indignities and torture heaped upon the emissaries of the gospel by this fierce race. When, in March 1658, the entire colony fled to Canada and Ménard "was compelled to forsake that fair harvest it was like tearing his heart out of his bosom". In 1660 the first mission to the Ottawa country was undertaken. Bishop Laval wrote to the pope that he was sending Father Ménard thither. Ménard himself knew it was his death warrant; but frail and worn as he was in the body, his spirit was indomitable. He gloried in the opportunity, like St. Francis Xavier, to seek the wilderness alone. The Indians who promised to care for the missionary broke their promise; he was forced to paddle and portage with the strongest of them; he was nearly starved, and finally, on the shore of Lake Superior a tree fell upon and crushed his canoe. At last, on Ste. Thérèse's day, on October 15, he reached a village in a cove now called L'Anse. The chief was brutal and turned him out of his hut; he then dwelt in a hut made by himself of fir branches. Fortunately, the winter was mild; wine did not congeal until February. In March some traders came for him and escorted him to the main Ottawa village on Chequamegon Bay. There he learned that some fugitive Hurons were starving in the interior, and against the advice of his trader friends, he insisted on visiting them. With one helper he set forth and somewhere en route was lost in the forest. Older historians, ignoring his visit to Chequamegon Bay, placed the site of his death on the upper Wisconsin River. It is now thought that it took place on a tributary of the Chippewa in Taylor County, Wisconsin, even yet a region of dense woodlands. His companion endeavored to persuade the Hurons to go in search of the father, but they refused. Since he had some provisions with him, it was thought he might have kept alive until the day of the Assumption of the Virgin, August 15. His effects were reported to have been seen in an Indian cabin, but the rumor was not verified. An old, frail man he no doubt became confused in the forest paths and died from exhaustion.
