In addition to his extensive collection of extracts and other materials, he sought to elevate the fields of folklore and mythology to a level of professionalism; Gaidoz founded two journals, and Revue Celtique. He opposed many contemporary views, and lampooned the writer Max Müller in an article that proved he 'was a solar myth'.[2]
