i. 651 n. 1 Zagrei'is as the god 'of Mt Zdgros.' The same derivation is propounded

vorgriechisches /I'-Suffix' in Glotta 1925 xiv. 153—192 discussing inter alia the word
Tlrdv, tiT-qv (p. 167 ff.) postulates an original 'Hirdv as a 'Lallwort' meaning 'Vater'
' Vaterchen,' cp. rtra£, Tf7a£ (Ilesych. s.v. t/to£ cited supra i. 655 n. 2) and relates the

amend my rendering of Firm. Mat. 6. 4 and 5 pro tumulo extruit templum and dcus

i. 665 ff. on the origin of tragedy. My hypothesis is dismissed with little argument
but much contumely by K. Ziegler in Pauly—Wissowa Real-Enc. vi A. 1952 f. Greater
weight attaches to the courteous and clear-headed critique of A. W. Pickard-Cambridge
Dithyramb Tragedy and Comedy Oxford 1927 pp. 208—220—in a context neatly sum-
marised by Pfister Rel. Gr. Rom. 1930 p. 229: 'Bei der Behandlung der Tragodie
schatzt er (m. E. mit Recht) gegen v. Wilamowitz und Kranz das Zeugnis des
Aristoteles sehr gering ein und verwirft die Hypothesen von der Entstehung der
Tragodie, die Ridgeway (aus dem Heroenkult), Murray (aus dpwpteva zu Ehren
des Dionysos) und Cook (aus dem kretischen Ritual der Dionysos-Zagreus) aufgestellt
haben, und ist selbst der Ansicht, dass die Tragodie nicht aus dem Satyrspiel stammt,
dass t/jcryijjSAs "singer at the goat-sacrifice" oder "singer for the goat-prize" be-
deutet. Bei Behandlung der Komodie wird der ku/xos, aus dem sie entstand, ausfiihrlich
besprochen und Cornfords Hypothese (Entstehung aus einem Ritual, das dem Jahres-
damon gait) widerlegt.'

i. 674. Apollodoros of Athens no doubt lived in 'The second century B.C.' and wrote
his great work 7repl Oeuv in 24 books (R. Miinzel De Apollodori irepi dewv libris Bonnae
1883 pp. 1—35, W. von Christ Geschichte der griechischen Litteralur Miinchen 1920 ii.
I. 395 f). But the extant /Si^Xiofl^KT), long attributed to him, is now believed to be a
work of Hadrianic date based on a handbook of mythology compiled between 100 and
55 B.C. (C. Robert De Apollodori Bibliotheca Berolini 1873 pp. 1—91, E. Schwartz in
