R. C. Bosanquet drew my attention (7 June 1915) to Hesych. Yavdapos- 0 ravpo-

Gandhara in north-western India.

ii. 555 n. o, cp. 545 n. o), Gaerte p. 82 takes the Cretan horns to be 'die Kultsymbole

Mater und der griechischen Rhea verwandten Gestalt') and H. Sjovall 'Zur Bedeutung
der altkretischen Horns of Consecration' ib. 1925 xxiii. 185—192 pis. 1 and 2 (Sjovall
connects the Cretan horns with the 'Mondbilder' of north-European art (supra i. 507),
which he regards as andirons). See also G. Karo in Ebert Real/ex. v. 392 (' eine reine

i. 514 bees from bulls. A. E. Shipley 'The "Bugonia" myth' in the Journal of

bom bees of the Ancients Heidelberg 1894 pp. 1—80 that the honey-bee (apis mellijca)
was confused with the drone-fly (eristalis tenax), which superficially resembles the honey-
bee and is often found in a stray carcase or in rotting vegetation.
