Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Magic and Witchcraft., part 8, sentence 120

After quoting three mythic descriptions found among the Karens, the Algonquins, and the Aztecs, Mr. Tylor remarks, "On the suggestion of this group of solar conceptions and that of Maui's death, we may perhaps explain as derived from a broken-down fancy of solar-myth, that famous episode of Greek legend, where the good ship Argo passed between the Symplegades, those two huge cliffs that opened and closed again with swift and violent collision."

Who acts: Tylor, three mythic descriptions, we, good ship, two huge cliffs, group · What happens: quote, find, remark, explain, derive, break · To what, where: three mythic descriptions, Karens, suggestion, two huge cliffs, broken down fancy, Symplegades · Speech: someone speaks here
