[109.4] The axe, the thunder-fetish, is attached to her at times, either because it was the prevalent religious symbol in Crete or because of her union with the Thunder-God.

[110.1] _E.g._ the “Tile-God,” the lord of foundations and tiles, mentioned in the inscription of Nabonid in _Keilinschr. Bibl._, iii. p. 101; but cf. Jastrow, _op. cit._, p. 176, who regards him as a special form of Ea.

[111.2] For Sun-worship indicated by Minoan monuments _vide_ Evans, _Hell. Journ._, 1901, pp. 172-173; on a stone at Tenos we find a curious inscription, Ἡλιοσαρπήδονος (_Cults_, v. p. 451, R. 37), and Sarpedon is a Minoan-Rhodian figure.
