i. 481 the Labyrinth at Taormina. By a curious coincidence a square mosaic repre-
senting the Labyrinth, with battlements all round, angle-towers, and a gateway, has
actually come to light at Taormina (P. Orsi in the Not. Scavi 1920 p. 340 ff. figs. 26—29).

i. 481 the Labyrinth-dance at Delos. The Delian dance had ropes (pv/xoi) to guide
the dancers (I. R. Arnold in the Am. Journ. Arch. 1933 xxxvii. 455 [F. Durrbach

The archaic temple of Dreros, built for Apollon Delphinios (supra i. 729 n. 2) early
in s. viii b.c., was perhaps half a century later furnished with an altar of unusual form.
A hollow structure of vertical slabs set against the back wall was covered by a wooden (?)
lid with a circular hole in it (o'i 5"1 across), which itself was closed by a carefully rounded
potsherd. On this box-altar stood three statuettes of hammered bronze (one male, two
smaller female) together with two small iron knives: within it were numerous horns
(mostly left horns) of young goats—clearly a keratin comparable with that of Delos
(supra i. 482) (S. Marinatos in the Bull. Corr. Hell. 1936 lx. 224 f., 241—244 figs. 17,
18, pis. 26, 27, id. in the Jahrb. d. Deutsch. Arch. Inst. 1936 li Arch. Anz. pp. 215—222

''EperpiKos p.atav5pos,' from the monastery of S. George at Eretria.

Aventicttm Helvetiorum Ftinftes Heft Zurich 1870 ( = Mittheilungen der anliquarischen
Gesellschaft in Ziirich xvi. Abth. 1. Heft 5) p. 58 pi. 29 publishes a handsome mosaic,
found in 1830 at Cormerod in the canton of Freiburg and now in the Freiburg Museum:
the design shows a Labyrinth with towers at the angles and Theseus with the Minotaur
in the centre.

i. 490 ff. the Minotaur. Materials bearing on this vexed problem may be here
assembled. Sir J. Marshall Annual Report of the Arclueological Survey of India Part I,
1913—14 Calcutta 1915 p. 25 f. pi. 23 fig. c publishes an enamelled terra-cotta relief,
found by M. Duroiselle in the ruins of the Shwegugyi pagoda in Burma (s. v a.d.),
showing among the subjects that relate to Buddha's fight with Mara two bull-headed
beings with human bodies and limbs, nude except for a loin-cloth. The type is suggestive
of the Greek Minotaur.

Prof. Max Semper of Aachen, in a letter to me dated Dec. 14, 1926, maintains that
there is no convincing representation of the Minotaur in 'Minoan' 01 Mycenaean art,
and that the seal-impression always cited as such would never have been so understood
had not the wish been father to the thought. He holds that the mixed creatures of human
+ animal type, which occur first in the 'Late Minoan' age, are due to the impact of
