578 The double axe and Zeus Labrdyndos

Fox collection into the Berlin cabinet (fig. 491)1. The god confront-

ing us is marked as Zeus by his eagle and globe (?)2, as Osogoa by
his crab, as Strdtios by his spear and shield.

A few further facts concerning both deities can be gleaned from
epigraphic or literary sources3. Inscriptions4, supported by a passage

1 C. R. Fox Engravings of unpublished or rare Greek coins Part ii Asia and Africa
London 1862 p. 18 no. 106 pi. 5, 106 (= my fig. 491).

2 C. R. Fox loc. cit. says: 'a bird on a pedestal.'" But T. Schreiber Be7nerkungen zur
Gauverfassung Karicns, Kleinere Beitrdge zur Geschichte von Dozenten der Leipziger
Hochschule Leipzig 1894 (cited by W. Drexler in Roscher Lex. Myth. iii. 1229) with
more probability observes: ' als Zeus charakterisiert durch Adler und Weltkugel.'

3 These are conveniently arranged by J. Schaefer De love apud Cares culto (Disserta-
tionesphilologicae Halenses xx. 4) Halis Saxonum 1912 p. 347 ff. ('Iupiter Labrayndus
p. 387 ff. (' Iupiter Osogoa') and discussed by O. Hofer in Roscher Lex. Myth. ii. 1776—
1778 (' Labrandeus,' ' Labrandos ') and W. Drexler ib. ii. 1815—1818 (' Lambraundos'),
iii. 1224—1230 ('Osogoa'). Other references will be given below.
