Summary In this cross-cultural study of the Aryan myth in which Brahmin Indian and European races but not Semitic ones share roots, Figueira (comparative literature, U. of Georgia) reads canons and "loose can[n]ons" in this origin myth's construction from Enlightenment and Romantic discourse to Indian reformers' anti- myths.
