, Ritual, and Religion_, 1906, ii. 284; ibid., 130; Moret, _Caractere religieux de la Monarchie Egyptienne_; Dieterich, _Mithrasliturgie_, 1903. [24:1] A. B. Cook in _J. H. S._ 1894, 'Animal Worship in the Mycenaean Age'. See also Hogarth on the 'Zakro Sealings', _J. H. S._ 1902; these seals show a riot of fancy in the way of mixed monsters, starting in all probability from the simpler form. See the quotation from Robertson Smith in Hogarth, p. 91. [24:2] _Feste der Stadt Athen_, p. 416. [24:3] _Anthropology and the Classics_, 1908, pp. 77, 78. [25:1] A. B. Cook, _Class. Rev._ xvii, pp. 275 ff.; A. J. Reinach, _Rev. de l'Hist. des Religions_, lx, p. 178; S. Reinach, _Cultes, Mythes, &c._, ii. 160-6. [25:2] One may suggest in passing that this explains the enormous families attributed to many sacred kings of Greek legend: why Priam or Danaus have their fifty children, and Heracles, most prolific of all, his several hundred. The particular numbers chosen, however, are probably due to other causes, e. g. the fifty moon-months of the Penteteris. [26:1] See _Primitive Traits in Religious Revivals_, by F. M. Davenport. New York, 1906. [27:1] E. Doutte, _Magie et religion dans l'Afrique du Nord_, 1909, p. 601. [27:2] Cicero, _de Nat. Deorum_, ii. 2; iii. 5, 6; Florus, ii. 12. [27:3] Plut. _Theseus_, 35; Paus. i. 32. 5. Herodotus only mentions a bearded and gigantic figure who struck Epizelos blind (vi. 117). [27:4] Eusebius, _Vit. Constant._, l. i, cc. 28, 29, 30; _Nazarius inter Panegyr. Vet._ x. 14. 15. [28:1] Aesch. _Suppl._ 1, cf. 478 +Zeus hikter+. _Rise of the Greek Epic_{3}, p. 275 n. Adjectival phrases like +Zeus Hikesios+, +Hiketesios+, +Hiktaios+ are common and call for no remark. [28:2] Hymn of the Kouretes, _Themis_, passim. [29:1] See in general I. King, _The Development of Religion_, 1910; E. J. Payne, _History of the New World_, 1892, p. 414. Also Dieterich, _Muttererde_, esp. pp. 37-58. [29:2] See Dieterich, _Muttererde_, J. E. Harrison, _Prolegomena_, chap. vi, 'The Making of a Goddess'; _Themis_, chap. vi, 'The Spring Dromenon'. As to the prehistoric art-type of this goddess technically called 'steatopygous', I cannot refrain from suggesting that it may be derived from a mountain +D+ turned into a human figure, as the palladion or figure-8 type came from two round shields. See p. 52. [30:1] _Hymn Orph._ 8, 10 +horotrophe koure+. [30:2] For the order in which men generally
