cp. Lobeck Aglaophamus ii. 1341 Ad/3 t6 ovpaviov irvp, and see further F. Dornseiff Das
Alphabet in Mystik unci Magie Leipzig—Berlin 1922 p. 30 f.

P. Wolters 'Kirke' in the At/i. Mitth. 1930 lv. 209—236 pis. 14 and 15 discusses a
Boeotian skyphos at NaupHa, which represents Kirke as magician, Odysseus, and three
of his sailors transformed into swine.

E. Schwyzer in Indogermanische Forschungen 1920 xxxviii. 158 f. takes Alatij (vijaos)
to be for dal-q = avai-q, 'die Insel der MorgenrSte.' But R. B. Onians in the Cambridge
University Reporter fox Nov. 30, 1926 p. 454 derives Aialrj and Ai-rjrrjs from Ala = Ai'a,
the Hebrew or Phoenician word for 'sparrow-hawk, falcon.' See further V. Berard
Les Phtmeiens et VOdysste Paris 1902 i. 214, 1903 ii. 261 ff. An altar at Ptolemais
(Menshijeh) dedicated to 'Apfi&KTet Kal '\4paKi 8e[G>i] \ k.t.X. (Dittenberger Orient. Gr.
inscr. sel. no. 52) implies that Horos was conceived as a sparrow-hawk (O. Hofer in
Roscher Lex. Myth. v. 636 f.). The hawk is also an attribute of Apollon (supra i.
626 n. o: add J. D. Beazley The Lewes House Collection of Ancient Gems Oxford 1920
p. 41 f. no. 47 pi. 3).

E. Reiss 'Studies in Superstition and Folklore vii. Homer' in the Am. [ourn. Phil.

1925 xlvi. 222 ff. discusses the magic circle (pp. 222—224) and Kirke as a witch
(p. 227 f.).

i. 247 n. 2. See now A. de Ridder Lcs bronzes antiques du Louvre Paris 1915 ii. 45 f.
no. 1699 pi. 8 [, W. Lamb Greek and Roman Bronzes London 1929 p. 179 fig. I.

i. 255 f. Cp. A. S. F. Gow 'ITrS, POMBOS, rhombus, turbo' in the /ourn. Hell.
Stud. 1934 liv. 1—13 with 11 figs.

i. 259 n. o. The fragment of Pindar has now turned up on a papyrus of s. i A.D.
(B. P. Grenfell—A. S. Hunt The Oxyrhynchus Papyri London 1922 xv. 84 ff. no. 1791
pi. 3). It confirms the conjecture of Schneidewin. See also D. S. Robertson in the
Class. Pev. 1929 xliii. 218.

i. 262 iynges of gold. G. Karo 'Schatz von Tiryns' in the Ath. Mitth. 1930 lv. 127 f.,
138 f., pis. 30 a and 31, publishes a pair of wheels made in gold wire with four spokes of
bronze covered with amber beads, and portions of a second similar pair of wheels, dating
apparently from late Mycenaean times. Karo ib. p. 128 compares the 'ear-phones' of
the Lady of Elche, and ib. p. 139 conjectures a northern origin for the head-gear. Is it
possible, however, that the wheels were solar iynges'}

i. 269 ff. on the wheel of Nemesis. H. Volkmann 'Studien zum Nemesiskult' in the
Archiv f. Pel. 1928 xxvi. 296—321 with figs. 1—4 has an important collection of texts
and monuments: id. ib. p. 310 n. 2 discusses the association of Nemesis with Helios and
the solar symbolism of her wheel. B. Schweitzer 'Dea Nemesis Regina' in the Jahrb. d.
Deulsch. Arch. Lust. 1931 xlvi. 175—246 pi. 1 f. and figs. 1—21 publishes an interesting
relief at Brindisi, in which Nemesis confronts us standing on a naked human figure
(summary by D. M. Robinson in the Am. /ourn. Arch. 1932 xxxvi. 533). H. Herter in
Pauly—Wissowa Real-Enc. xvi. 2338—2380 devotes a long and painstaking article to the
goddess, accepting many of my results, but demurring to some.

i. 270 n. 5. But H. B. Walters in the Brit. Mus. Cat. Gems- p. 183 no. 1696 points
out that the supposed car is merely a wheel at her feet plus a fracture of the stone!

i. 271 on the wheel of Fortuna. D. M. Robinson 'The Villa of Good Fortune at
Olynthos' in the Am./ourn. Arch. 1934 xxxviii. 501 ff. describes and illustrates Hellenic
pebble-mosaics from the two rooms in the north-east corner (fig. 1) showing a four-spoked
wheel with quadruple rim and a smaller four-spoked wheel with double rim—the whole
accompanied by the inscription AfAGHTYXH (fig. 2, b), also a double axe, swastika,
hand (?),etc. disposed round a Macedonian square, which is lettered A4>P|0A1|THK|AAH
and accompanied by a second inscription EYTYXIAKAAH (fig. 2, a). Id. ib. p. 50J
n. 1 collects literary allusions from Pind. 01. 2. 23 f. and Soph. frag. 787 Nauck2 = 87i
Jebb ap. Plout. v. Demetr. 45 (cp. frag. 575 Jebb) onwards, adding that the wheel of
I'ortune appears here for the first time in art.

i. 273. For A. C. Orlandos' investigation of the site at Rhamnous see his 'Note sur
le sanctuaire de Nemesis a Rhamnonte' in the Bull. Con: Hell. 1924 xlviii. 305—320
with figs. 1—11 and pis. 8—12 (summarised by E. H. Heffner in the Am. /ourn. Arch.

1926 xxx. 109 f.). Further study of the site by W. Zschietzschmann in the /ahrb. d.
Deutsch. Arch. Inst. 1929 xliv Arch. Anz. pp. 441-—451 figs. 1—4.

i. 273 on the relation of Nimesis to Nemetona etc. J. Coman Vidie de la Ne'me'sis
chez Eschyle Paris 1931 p. 2if. states and criticises the theory here advanced. He
accepts the first part of it, but objects to my suggestion (i. 2S5) of a confusion between
N^ectis goddess 'of the Greenwood' and vlp.«ris 'righteous wrath.' On p. 22 n. 2
