('archai'que?') raises many doubts—see P. Roussel in the Rev. Et. Gr. 1915 xxviii. 457,
id. in the Rev. Arch. 1925 ii. 49 n. 1. C. Picard in the Rev. Et. Gr. 1930 xliii. 136 still
hesitates ('L'omphalos n" 19 n'a pas encore ses lettres de creance bien etablies').

ii. 1218 the witch-cult in western Europe. Cp. Miss M. A. Murray The God of the
Witches London (1933) pp. 1—214 (reviewed by H. Coote Lake in Folk-Lore 1934 xlv.
277 f.) and e contra C. L'Estrange Ewen Some Witchcraft Criticisms (London) 193S
(printed for the author) pp. i—6.

ii. 1219 the Milky Way conceived as a tree. U. Holmberg in J. A. MacCullocli
The Mythology of all Races Boston 1927 iv (Finno-Ugric, Siberian). 83 cites the 'song
of the Great Oak'—a Finnish account of the Milky Way 'regarded by some Arctic tribes
as being the trunk of a great tree, along which those killed in battle wander.'

ii. 1221 the axe from Mallia. J. Charbonneaux in the Mon. Piot 1925—1926 xxviii.
6 ff. pi. 2 and figs. 3, 4, 6 publishes this axe as ending in the forepart of a panther, not
a lioness. So also C. Picard in the Revue de I'histoire des religions 1926 xciii. 70 n. 1, 78
n. 3, and P. Couissin in the Rev. Arch. 1928 i. 261 fig. 6.

ii. 1221 fig. 1015 relief of lictors' axes. For similar reliefs see Stuart Jones Cat. Sculpt.
Pal. d. Conserv. Rome p. [9 f. Scala i nos. 1 and 2 pi. 9, ii. p. 157 Sala degli Orti
Mecenaziani no. 6 b pi. 59.

ii. 1221 the 'Tomb of the Lictor' at Vetulonia. See now H. Muhlestein Die Kunst
der Etrusker Berlin 1929 p. 85 n. o and p. 228 f., who in fig. 149 publishes a good
photograph (Alinari 45 853) of the'Eisernes Rutenbeil <Labrys> aus Vetulonia <Tomba
del Littoro Mus. archeologico Florenz' and refers it to s. vii B.C.

ii. 1221 carvings in amber. Other examples (human and simian figures from Vetulonia)
in D. R. Maclver Villanovans andEarly Etruscans Oxford 1924 p. 107 fig. 25.

ii. 1222 fig. 1017 the earliest representation of Zeus(?). S. Benton in the Ann. Brit.
Sch. Ath. 1934—1935 xxxv. 85, 98 pi. 21, 1—3 provides three excellent photographs
of this little bronze, but calls it cautiously 'the Dodona thrower,' 'the Dodona figure.'

M. P. Nilsson Homer and Mycenae London 1933 p. 80 suggests that a terra-cotta
head and a stone axe found in the Mycenaean sanctuary at Asine 'are the earliest
representations of Zeus, the Greek god of thunder.' See further O. Frodin in The
Illustrated Loudon News for Sept. 25, 1926 p. 548 fig. (2) and Nilsson Min.-Myc. Rel.
pp. xx—xxii pi. 4. The head (o'ioj"1 high) showed traces of white on the face, but had
eyes, lips, and hair painted red. With it were found five smaller female figures in terra
cotta and sundry vases, including a two-handled bowl of the 'Granary Class' (A.J. B.
Wace in the Ann. Brit. Sch. Ath. 1921—1922, 1922—1923 xxv. 40?. ('The Granary
Class of L. H. iii. Pottery')) and a composite vessel of three cups conjoined.

ii. 1228 Zeus Telesiourgds at Miletos. K. Latte 'Zeus 'te\etxiovpy6s' in Philologus
1930 Ixxxv. 225—227 notes that in both inscriptions this is the god to whom sacrifice is
made by a new priest at his ordination. Hence, he thinks, we obtain light on Hesych.
reXealepyov iraiava' rbv eirLTe\eaTLKOv tGjv tois (?eots eVireXou^ueVoji' iepujv, where the
manuscript reading TeXeoiyipwv was wrongly altered by T. Hemsterhuys into TeXealepov—
a blunder perpetuated by M. Schmidt in both his editions. Sir H. Stuart Jones, however,
in the new Liddell and Scott p. 1770 (following E. Diehl Supplementum Lyricum'1 Bonn

1917 p. 66) says 'prob. a gloss on TeJuo-trCefpov iraiava in Pi. Pae. 7. 2.' Unfortunately
the text in Pindar is very insecure. O. Schroeder Supplementum Pindaricum Berolini
io23 P- 3 records Wilamowitz' cj. Te\co-<ne[7rrj] OeoS cp. schol. eVeffi.

ii. 1229 relief of Agdistis and Attis. A Hellenistic relief (height o-6im), found in the
Peiraieus and now in the Berlin Antiquarium, shows Agdistis as a draped goddess, with
a lympanon in her left hand, presenting a flower to a youthful Attis, who sits before her
clad in the costume of Asia Minor {Kurze Beschreibung der antiken Skulpturen im
Alton Museum2 Berlin—Leipzig 1920 p. 106 no. 1612).

panther-skin (?) with phallus on staff, forehead, and nose! Perhaps cp. E. de Chanot

literary allusions add Iuv. 6. O 26, and see W. B. McDaniel in the Am. Journ. Arch.
