426 TEMENOS OF DEMETER, PERSEPHONE, ETC.

the Artemis Agrotera, whose temple, according to Pausanias, i.
19, 7, was in the district of Agra, where the Lesser Mysteries were
celebrated, and whose connection with Persephone he considers
marked by the little figure on whom she is leaning. (See his An-
thesterien, p. 174.) But we leai-n from this very passage of
Pausanias that the Artemis worshipped on this site was there
represented holding in one hand a bow. In the Cnidus terra-
cotta, the attributes of Artemis and Hekate are combined into one
type, which we find associated with the Psycho-pompic Hermes
on the great Ruvo vase, engraved (Monum. Ined. dell' Inst. Arch.
Rom. ii. tav. 31). In E. Braun's description of this vase, Annali,
viii. p. 104, the name Artemis-Hekate is given to this figure. A
similar figure occurs on the vase representing the Infernal regions,
published by Welcker, Archiiol. Zeitung, 1843, p. 177, PI. XL,
and there described as Hekate. Perhaps the Artemis Phosphoros
was identical with this type of Hekate. On the close connection
of the two goddesses see Welcker, Griechische Goetterlehre, p. 5G3.
