formerly supporting three statuettes and inscribed Zeus Mvrnxoalni-q 'AirbWwv.

i. 132. W. H. Roscher Omphalos Leipzig 1913 p. 48 f. argues that Archelaos was
representing the omphaUs of Branchidai and the Thessalian or the Mysian Olympos.

i. 134 ff. A rock-cut throne on a mountain near Temenothyrai in Lydia was taken to
be that of Geryon son of Chrysaor (Paus. 1. 35. 7).

W. K. C. Guthrie in 1932 discovered, just outside a village called Sethi, on Findos
Tepe at the western edge of the Konieh plain, a double rock-cut throne with footstools
(figs. 858, 859). Close by were two narrow rock-cut troughs, 'like couches in shape'
(fig. 860). I am indebted to Mr Guthrie for the photographs here given of the thrones as
seen from below and above, and of the 'couches.'

H. Lattermann and F. Hiller von Gaertringen in the Ath. Mitth. 1915 xl. 75 ff. fig. 3
and pi. 13, 2 record a rock-throne near the village of Kionia (Stymphalos). They suggest
that this throne, which is cut in conglomerate over an empty grave (?)-chamber, is to be
connected with the local cult of Hera X-ripa (Paus. 8. 22. 2), implying a dead Zeus as in
Crete.

i. 150. The sword-dance of the Kouretes and Korybantes round the infant Zeus is
discussed by L. von Schroder Mysterium und Mimus im Rigveda Leipzig 1908 p. 118,
F. Kidson—M. Neal English Folk-song and Dance Cambridge 1915 p. 146 f. See,
however, Gruppe Myth. Lit. 1921 p. 38 : ' Es ist doch...ungleich wahrscheinlicher, dass
die gottlichen Kureten und Korybanten mythische Gegenbilder zu irdischen Tanzern sind,
als dass diese den Gottertanz nachahmten, wie Schroder (131 ff.) glaubt.'

i. 157 n. 3. My friend and former pupil Mr J. D. S. Pendlebury writes to me : 'The
following is the story I heard in June 1935 from an old friend Kosta Kounales of
Anogeia, who really does know his mountains warovxi-a. ttcitovxi-u as they say. It was
a propos of a small heap of stones by the Church of Holy Cross on the Nidha Plain,
called locally crrov -^ravpou riv 'UpoxaXoy. " They say that in Venetian times there was a
prince Erotokritos who was out hunting wild boar, and one clay his foot slipped as he
was about to spear the boar, and his friends shot quickly with their bows to help him,
but they shot him instead and they buried him here." ' In view of what A. Papadakes
reports concerning the tomb of Zeus at Anogeia (supra i. 163), it seems fairly certain
that we have here a local modification of the belief that Zeus was a Cretan prince killed
by a wild boar and buried.
