ii. i r 5S Zeus MeiUchios at Kyrene. U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff in Hermes 1930
lxv. 257 f. ('Lesefriichte' no. 280) cites rock-cut inscriptions at and near Kyrene to show
that the dead were associated in cult with the Eumenides and with Zeus MeiUchios (after
S. Ferri Contribute di Cirene alia storia della religions greca (Collezione Vpa<pr). 2) Roma
1923) pi. 10).
ii. 1158 Zeus MeiUchios at Selinous. K. Lehmann-Hartleben in the Jahrb. d.
Deutsch. Arch. Inst. 1926 xli Arch. Anz. p. 179 fig. 36 briefly reports the discovery by
E. Gabrici of a sanctuary of Zeus MeiUchios at Selinous. This small timenos occupied
the north-east angle of the large site sacred to Demeter Malophbros, just as the temenos
of Hekate Propylala occupied the south-east angle. For a full account of it see
E. Gabrici's official publication in the Mon. d. Line. 1928 xxxii. 91—107 figs. 53—64
Fig. 925.
('Edicola ed altari di Meilichios e della Pasikrateia (?)'), 174—181 ('Stele figurate del
recinto di Meilichios'), 381—383 (inscriptions), 403—405 (cult). The precinct (pi. 2,
part of which = my fig. 925) included a little temple, the base of which measured only
5'20m by 2*97m—a mere casket for the statue or statues within. Two Doric columns
stood opposite the antae; but their entablature was of a simplified Ionic order (fig. 58
= my fig. 926). In front of the temple were two oblong altars, one large, one small; and
it was originally flanked by a pair of porticoes, each with five columns. Behind the west
wall of the precinct were found numerous stilai, mostly small piers square in section, or
pyramidal, or cylindrical, and nearly all without inscription. The few inscribed blocks
were archaic in character: p. 381 f. no. 3 pi. 97, 4 to Aids to M|eXix'o i)x\ | Trpora

the site were a double altar of simpler type (fig. 62), and several small wells (figs. 63—66)

minor worth, which were burnt along with the animal sacrifice and buried in the ashes:
over them was erected a stile, often surmounted by a pair of busts, male and female
(pis. 27, 1—4, 28, 1—6, 29, 1—8, of which 27, 3 f. =my figs. 928 f.). Gabrici concludes
