20 Zeus and the Earthquakes

Now we have already seen reason to suppose that Poseidon was
but a specialised form of Zeus1, his trident being originally the
lightning-fork of a storm-god2. We should therefore expect to find
at least some traces of the conviction that earthquakes were ulti-
mately caused and controlled by Zeus.

In point of fact, the earliest extant description of an earthquake
attributes the phenomenon, naively enough, to the action of Zeus,
who nods his head, shakes his hair, and thereby makes the mighty
mass of Mount Olympos to tremble3. That is pure magic4, and
none the less magical because the magician was a god. Later epic
writers imitate the scene5, which must have appealed to folk-belief
of a deep-seated and permanent sort. Indeed, the same belief still
lurks in the background of the peasant's brain. B. Schmidt6 pointed
out that in Zakynthos, an island peculiarly liable to seismic vibra-
tions7, people explain them by saying 'God is nodding his head
towards the earth' or 'God is shaking his hair8'—both expressions
being virtually identical with those used in the Homeric episode.

Other poets, classical and post-classical, associate the most awe-
inspiring of nature's moods with the anger of the greatest nature-
