ii. 1059 ff. burial in the house. II. J. Rose in the Class. Quart. 1930 xxiv. 130 quotes

F. von Duhn Italischc Grdberkunde Heidelberg 1924 i. 36 (Saepinuni, Sepino) for the
only example of an Italian buried in and with his house. In 1930 G. Mylonas found
'Middle Helladic' houses, both rectangular and apsidal, on the southern slope of the
akropolis at Eleusis. ' Under the floors of these houses and between the walls were found
burials of small children' (E. H. Heffner in the Am. Jottrn. Arch. 1931 xxxv. 197.
Further details by G. Karo in the Jahrb. d. Deutsch. Arch. fust. 1931 xlvi Arch. Anz.
p. 231 ff.). But the evidence of such practices is abundant and quite conclusive, as will
be admitted by anyone who reads the important articles of G. Wilke ' Wohnungs-
bestattung' in Ebert Real/ex. xiv. 443—445 and 'Hausgrab' id. v. 215 f.

ii. 1066 Zeus Kttsios in Thasos. P. Guillon in the Rev. Arch. 1937 i. 195—200 figs. 1

ii. 1068 the jars of Zeus. A Pompeian painting from a house in the Strada delta
Fortuna published by H. Heydemann in the Bull. d. Inst. 1868 p. 19 ff. and in the
Arch. Zeit. 1868 xxvi. 33—35 pi. 4 ( = my fig. 921) and reproduced by Reinach Rip.
Feint. Gr. Rom. p. 9 no. 4 ('Jupiter consulte le sort') shows the god seated with one
of the Fates holding lots(?) and Nike bearing a palm-branch behind him. He has a
long sceptre in his left hand and extends the right, with the lot that he has drawn or is
about to draw, over a jar set on the ground at bis feet. This painting deteriorated so
fast on exposure to the air that a month after its discovery a thunderbolt, originally
painted beside the jar in front of the god's right foot, had completely vanished. Heyde-
mann would connect the whole scene with a picture of Herakles and the snakes painted
vertically beneath it on the same wall.

A relief dating from s. iii B.C. and found at Athens in the sanctuary of Artemis
Kalllste represents a man and his wife invoking the goddess, who with a large torch
held in both hands stands behind her altar and in front of two big jars set on the
ground (A. Philadelpheus in the Bull. Corr. Hell, 1927 li. 158 no. 1 pi. 8. P. Roussel
lb. pp. 164—169 ' Remarques sur le bas-relief de Kalliste' traces the significance of the
jars and cites the Homeric parallel. E. H. Heffner summarises both papers in the Am.
Journ. Arch. 1928 xxxii. 360).

ii. 1069 f. Zeus Agamemnon. I. Harrie 'Zeus Agamemnon in Sparta' in the Archiv
f. Ret. 1925 xxiii. 359—369 explains this cult as a case of Hellenistic divinisation ('die
Apotheose wird nlcht als der Kult einer wirklichen Gottheit betrachtet, es haftet ihr ein
Beigeschmack von serviler Schmeichelei an; diese Spartiaten, die den Agamemnon zum
Gbtterkonig ausrufen, atmen alexandrinische Hofluft') and seeks to account for its
attribution to Sparta by assuming a learned revival of the early lyrical version which
connected Agamemnon with Lakedaimon and Amyklai (K. Wernicke in Pauly—Wissowa
Real-line. i. 724).

the Bacchic inscription found near Torre Nova (A. Vogliano in the Am. Journ. Arch.
