Clement interprets Qpocia as 'goddess of fertility' (Bop- 0pu- 6po- [supra i. 681 n. 4]),
derives vef3evu> from *vefi-os a parallel of vefj-pbs, and claims that the legend of Iphi-
geneia's sacrifice arose from the ritual of the vifipeia in the cult of Artemis at Aulis—a
most attractive hypothesis. F. R. Walton in Harvard Studies in Classical Philology
1935 xlvi. 167—189, discussing the Ichneulae of Sophokles, contends that the chorus
of Satyrs were conceived as a pack of hunting dogs, cp. Poll. 5. 10 ixvevrys dvijp Kal

Kvvijye'rai of this inscription were human beings. G. Kaibel in the Nachr. d. kon.
Gesellsch. d. IViss. Gbttingen Phil.-hist. Classe 1901 p. 506 points out that in Plat. Phaon
frag. 2 (Frag. com. Gr. ii. 674 ff. Meineke) ap. Athen. 441 e—442 a Orthanes, Konisalos,
Lordon, Kybdasos, Keles are grouped with Kval re Kal Kvvijytrais and infers that the
latter, like the former, were Priapic deities. L. Ziehen in Leges Graecorum saciae ii. 70 ff.
no. 18 after further examination concludes: 'Itaque inferos daemonas Kw»s et Kvviryeras
dici persuasum habeo' etc. C. M. Bowra Greek Lyric Poetry Oxford 1936 p. 43 ff. holds
that Alkman's famous parthdnion was sung at a joint festival of Dionysos and Helene.
'The AeuKtirirlScs, led by their two leaders or 7rtDXoi, sing the song in competition with
the IlfXeidSes before the presentation of some gift to the appropriate gods and a race at
the dawn' (ii. p. 54). F. Heichelheim in Pauly—Wissowa Keal-Enc. vi a. 906—910 has
compiled the latest and most serviceable list of these usages. But it would be possible,
and profitable, to go yet further in the same direction. Many examples of mythical
metamorphosis might be explained along these lines. To give but one instance—the
Kopuvldei of the Boeotian tale told by Ant. Lib. 2j (iaropel Ni/otcSpos irepowvpivwv S' Kal

blocks of poros, some with U-shaped lifting-holes, recut for use in the later building and
a fragmentary antefix of terra cotta adorned with a polychrome palmette. A deposit of
votive offerings found under the plaster of the later timenos yielded proto-Corinthian and
Corinthian sherds, terracottas, and small bron/.es. The new temple, built c. 330 b.c.,
was a Doric peripteral structure with 6x12 columns, 2 columns in the prdnaos, but no
opisthodomos. Inside were two rows of 6 Corinthian columns. At the western end of the
naos 2 other columns marked off an ddylon, which took the form of a sunken but unroofed
