1 The high place on which stood most of the altars of the Tegeates was called after
Zeus KXdpLos (Paus. 8. 53. 9 f. cited supra p. 874 n. 2). Sir J. G. Frazer and H. Hitzig—
H. Blumner ad loc. identify this eminence with the hill of St Sostis. See further supra
p. 807 n. 2.

2 Zeus 'A/cpcnos (supra p. 871 n. o no. (3)).

3 Zeus"TipiffTos (supra p. 878 n. o no. (3)).

4 Apesas (Phoukd) is a mountain which rises north of Nemea to a height of 873™. It
figured in two distinct myths. On the one hand, Perseus here sacrificed for the first time
to Zeus 'Aireaavnos (Paus. 2. 15. 3 Kal opos 'ATricras icrriv virep tt)v ~Sep.eav, ivda Ylepuea

Ivi. 482 ff. = Kleine Schriften Leipzig—Berlin 1913 iv. 383 ff.) contends that AevKaXiwv
presupposes a simpler form *Aev-KaXos (whence AevKaXiSai),' kleiner Zeus,' ' Zeusknablein.'
Other views are collected by K. Tiimpel in Pauly—Wissowa Real-Enc. v. 275 f. and Gruppe

Imperial coppers of Kleonai represent Mt Apesas as a rock surmounted by an altar with
an eagle perched upon it (Rasche Lex. Num. Suppl. i. 1836 Septimius Severus, Brit.
Mus. Cat. Coins Peloponnesus p. 155 pi. 29, 8 = Anson Num. Gr. v. 9 no. 57 pi. 2 Iulia
Domna, Hunter Cat. Coins ii. 154 no. 1 Geta, Imhoof-Blumer and P. Gardner Num.
Comm. Paus. i. 33 f. Septimius Severus, Iulia Domna, Geta). Traces of the altar of Zeus
are still to be seen on the flat rocky summit (E. Puillon Boblaye Recherches Geographiques
sur les mines de la Morde Paris 1836 ii. 41 ' XI. Peytier y a vu quelques mines qui doivent
avoir appartenu a 1'autel de Jupiter Apesantius,' E. Curtius Peloponnesos Gotha 1852 ii. 505
'der Apesas, auf dem sich bei einer verfallenen Kapelle Palaa Ekklesia genannt, noch
Ruinen vom Heiligthume des Zeus Apesantios finden').

5 Zeus AapiuctZos had a roofless naos with a wooden statue on the top of the Larisa at
Argos (Paus. 2. 24. 3 iir' dicpa Se 4o~ti Trj Aapiarj Aibs eTrlKXrjaiv Aapiaaiov vaos, ovk ^xwv

naos of Athena containing a three-eyed xoanou of Zeus, said to have been the paternal
god of Priamos (Paus. 2. 24. 3 f. continues Kal 'Ad-qvds de vaos 4gti deas agios' evTavda
