to Pandora, this preliminary sacrifice being known as epiboion1.
Pandrosos had a circular garment called podonychon2 or podonychosz.
Her priestess4, according to Pollux5, wore the same sacred attire.
But Photios6 and Souidas7 are apparently alluding to the same
vestment when they state that the protdnion is a small himdtion worn
by the priestess and from her transferred to the man slaying the
victim. They add that it was named protdnion because Pandrosos,
0r Pandora, with her sisters was the first (prdte) to make woollen
raiment for men. The etymology, as usual, is naught, but the rite
°f the transferred garment is of value as providing a parallel to the
custom implied by the pepios-scene on the eastern frieze of the
Parthenon8.

The case of Herse is different. She is definitely a personification
°f the Dew, and as such must be comparatively late. Hence, though
Athen ian youths swore by Agraulos9, who indeed heads their list of
witnessing deities10, and though Athenian women might swear either
by Agraulos11 or, less frequently, by Pandrosos12, nobody swore by
Herse13. Nor had she, unless we can credit an unsupported state-
ment of Ovid14, any sanctuary set apart for her. Again, Athena—
