929 Both the derivations of the name _Patara_, the one from a son of
Apollo (Hecatæus ap. Steph. Byz. in v. Cf. Eustath. ad Dionys.
Perieg. 129. Tzetz. ad Lycophr. 920.), and the other from πατάρα,
κιστὶς, refer to the worship of Apollo.

934 The coins of Patara, Phaselis, Xanthus, Cydna, Cragus, Apollonia,
Corydalla, Limyra, and Olympus, have a head of Apollo, the tripod,
lyre, the deer, and similar symbols. Cf. Steph. Byz, Δάφνη ὲν Λυκίᾳ.
Apollo Ἐρεθύμιος among the Lycians, Hesych. in v. Perhaps this is a
corruption of Ἐρυθίβιος, as Apollo was called in Rhodes, Strabo
XIII. p. 613. See below, ch. 5. § 4.

935 See Strabo XIV. p. 683. from Hedylus, or some other poet. On the
sacred deer of Apollo at Curium, see Ælian. Nat. Anim. XI. 7.

936 Strabo XIII. p. 611. Scylax, p. 26. Compare the obscure gloss of
Hesychius in Πυθίων ἀνακτόρων.

937 On this temple, see Heyne ad Il. A. 39. According to Strabo XIII. p.
604. there were Sminthea near Hamaxitus in Æolis, near Parium, at
Lindus in Rhodes, and elsewhere. A certain Philodemus, or
Philomnestus, wrote a treatise on the Σμινθεῖα in Rhodes, Athen.
III. p. 74 F. 445 A.

938 The inhabitants of Tenea, a village near Corinth, were said to have
been transplanted by Agamemnon from Tenedos. That they really
worshipped Apollo _in the same manner_ as the Tenedians, is
testified by Aristotle ap. Strab. p. 380. Paus. II. 5. 3. And the
worship of Apollo was carried by means of Archias from Tenea to
Syracuse, Strabo, ibid. See book I. ch. 6. § 7.

943 Hesychius in Λυκαῖον. There are likewise many other signs of the
worship of Apollo on this coast, Strabo XIII. p. 618; in Priapus,
Schol. Lycophr. 29; Apollo Πασπάριος in Parium and Pergamum (Hesych.
in v.); on the coins of Gargara, Germe, Lampsacus, Atarneus,
Neandria, Abydos, and New Troy.

944 The Æolians built a temple to the _Cillæan_ Apollo at Colonæ, Strabo
XIII. p. 613. from Daes of Colonæ.

945 Strabo XIII. p 604. τοῖς γὰρ ἐκ τῆς Κρήτης ἀφιγμένοις Τεύκροις, οὓς
πρῶτος παρέδωκε Καλλῖνος, &c. It does not appear that this can, with
Frank, Callinus, p. 31, he understood only of a mention of the
_name_ of the Teucrians.

946 The latter fact is supported by the ancient name of Cephalion, an
inhabitant of the Teucrian city of Gergis (ap. Steph. Byz. in
Ἀρίσβη. Eustath. ad Il. p. 894.): but his Τρωικὰ was the forgery of
an Alexandrine writer named Hegesianax (Athen. IX. p. 393 B).
Lycophron, v. 1302. calls Teucer, Scamander, and Arisbe, Cretans.

952 Achilles was slain by Apollo, according to Homer; Aretinus and
Æschylus in the ψυχοστασία (Heyne ad Il. XXII. 359. Tychsen ad
Quint. Smyrn. Comment. p. 61); Neoptolemus was killed at Pytho. For
the same reason Achilles slays Tennes, the son of Apollo (Tzetzes ad
Lycophr. 232.), in whose temple it was forbidden to pronounce the
name of the Phthian hero (Plutarch Quæst. Gr. 28. p. 933).

953 Iliad. V. 446.

954 Herod. V. 122. VII. 43. It was situated in the territory of
Lampsacus (Strabo XIII. p. 589.), in mount Ida (Athen. VI. p. 256
C.), opposite Dardanus (Herod.); the village of Mermessus, 240
stadia from Alexandria Troas (Pausan. X. 12. 2), was a κώμη
Γεργιθία, Suidas in v. Also in Schol. Plat. Phædr. p. 61. Ruhnken.

975 A coin of Parium, in the cabinet of M. Allier de Hauteroche, shows
the statue of Apollo on the seashore, with the circumscription,
ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΟΣ ΑΚΤΑΙΟΥ ΠΑΡΙΑΝΩΝ, agreeing with Strabo XIII. p. 588.

Methymna wrote a treatise on the Grynean Apollo, Athen. IV. p. 149.

on the coins of Myrina, which city also sent χρυσᾶ θέρη to Delphi,
Plutarch. de Pyth. Orac. 16. p. 273.

984 Malus the son of Manto, Hellanicus ἐν Λεσβικοῖς apud Steph. Byz. in
Μαλλόεις. Thucyd. III. 3. Likewise in Lesbos, Apollo Ναπαῖος
(Hellanicus ap. Steph. Byz. in Νάπη. cf. Strab. IX. p. 429. Suid. in

write ΤΟΥ ΝΑΠΑΙΟΥ Ἀπόλλωνος.

985 Strabo XIV. p. 675 C. Arrian. II. 5. Hence perhaps the worship of
Apollo came to Tarsus, Osann. Syllog. Inscr. p. 141.

986 Book I. ch. 5. § 4.

987 Pausan. II. 32. 2. Ἄρτεμις σώτειρα, brought from Crete to Trœzen,
ib. 31. 1.

988 Paus. II. 31. 7. 11. The temple of Apollo Thearius at Trœzen was,
according to Pausan. ib. 31. 9. the most ancient in Greece. Apollo
joined with Leucothea, Ælian. V. H. I. 18.

989 Called Ψυχοπομπεῖον, like the institutions in Thesprotia, at
Phigalea and Heraclea Pontica. See book I. ch. 1. § 6.

990 Plutarch, de sera Num. Vind. 17. p. 256. Hesych. in τέττιγος
ἔδρανον.

991 Thus Strabo VIII. p. 368. the name being derived from Delos. Also
called Ἐπιδήλιον.

son of Apollo, in Steph. Byz. in Μέγαρα. comp. Dieuchidas of Megara
in Schol. Apoll. Rhod. I. 517.

993 V. 773. Φοῖβε ἄναξ, αὐτὸς μὲν ἐπύργωσας πόλιν ἄκρην, Ἀλκαθόῳ Πέλοπος
παιδὶ χαριζόμενος.

994 Δεκατηφόρος, ὅς δεκάτην φέρει, _i.e._ here, “he who _receives_ it,”
Paus. I. 42. 1. 5. Compare an Argive inscription (Boeckh No. 1142.
Δεξιστρατος Αρχιππ. Απολλωνι δεκατ—.) Apollo was likewise worshipped
at Megara under the titles of Pythius (Schol. Pind. Nem. V. 84.
Philostrat. Vit. Soph. I. 24. 3.), Archagetas, Prostaterius, Carnius
and Agræus. The tripod and the Delphine on the coins of Megara see
Pouqueville, tom. IV. p. 131. against Clarke, vol. II. sect II. p.
768.

995 From Megara _Calchedon_ (see the coins) derived its worship and
oracle of Apollo (Dionys. Byz. p. 23.) Not far off was Demonesus;
and an Apollo of Demonesian brass is mentioned in Pseud. Aristot. de
Mirab. 59. Jungermann ad Poll. V. 5. 39. _Byzantium_ likewise, a
Megarian colony, had a temple of Apollo on the promontory of
Metopon, according to Dionysius de Bosp. Thrac. Byzantium, moreover,
had evidently derived from its parent city, but in an exaggerated
form, the tradition of the foundation of the city by Apollo, and
that this god placed his lyre upon a tower. Hence the seven
resounding towers (Hesych. Miles, ap. Codin. p. 2. 3. Dionys. Byz.
p. 6. Dio Cass. LXXIV. 14): also the fable of the dolphin charmed by
the sound of the lyre (Dionysius pag. 9. Gyllius de Constantinop.
pag. 285.) evidently belongs to the Megarian worship.

1015 Hesych. in v. Also the lots burnt in the sacred fire, according to
the same grammarian, φρυκτὸσ Δελφοῖς κυῆρος. Compare Boeckh Explic.
Pind. Ol. VIII. 2. and Plutarch de Frat. Am. 20. To this custom
likewise refer the Φοίβου ἐσχάραι in Eurip. Phœn 292, and the name
of the ancient priest of the Delphic oracle πύρκεων. See the
Eumolpia in Paus. X. 5. 3.

1016 The stone of Manto in front of the temple, Paus. IX. 10. μαντίων
θῶκος. Pind. Pyth. XI. 6.

1017 The serpent of Cadmus is also by later writers called Castalius and
Δελφίνιος, Creuzer ad Nonni Narr. in Melet. vol. I. p. 93.

1018 Apollo Polius was also without the gates at Thebes, Paus. IX. 12. 1.
Apollo was likewise worshipped in the village of Calydna near
Thebes, Androtion ap. Steph. Byz. in Κάλυδνα.

1019 Below, ch. 11. § 7.

1020 See _Orchomenos_, pp. 234, 393.

1021 See the author’s work _De Minerva Poliade_, p. 2.

1022 Herodot. I. 56. VII. 94. VIII. 44.

1023 Hence Ion is called the πολέμαρχος or στρατηγὸς of the Athenians,
Herod. VIII. 44. Paus. I. 31. 2. II. 14. 2. VII. 1. 2. &c. hence
also Euripides says (Ion 1319) that “the shield and spear was the
whole patrimony of Xuthus.”

1024 Cicero de Nat. Deor. III. 22. 23. Lydus de Mens. p. 105.

1025 See Phanodemus ap. Athen. IX. p. 392. Plutarch, ap. Euseb. præp. ev.
II. p. 99. fragm. 10. p. 291. ed. Hutten. Euseb. Canon. 497. comp.
Paus. I. 18. 5. Legends of this kind were greatly amplified by Attic
orators, who, like Hyperides before the Amphictyons, had to defend
the claims of Athens upon Delos.

1026 Μηδὲν προσήκων Ἐρεχθείδαις, Plutarch Thes. 13.

1027 Ξοῦθος is the “bright” “shining” god, another form of ξανθός. See
below, ch. 6. § 7. Αἰγεὺς, from αἶγες, “the waves of the sea” is
equivalent to Ποσειδῶν Αἰγαῖος.

1028 Plutarch Thes. 5.

1029 Strabo IX. p. 392. after Sophocles and Philochorus. Cf. Schol.
Aristoph. Lys. 58. Vesp. 1218. Schol. Eurip. Hipp. 35.

1030 Philochorus apud Schol. Soph. Œd. Col. 1047. ed. Elmsl.

1031 Compare Barbié du Bocage’s _Histoire de la bourgade d’Œnoë la
sacrée_ at the end of Stanhope’s Plan of Platæa.

1032 Hence Sophocles ubi sup, calls the district of Eleusis Πυθίας ἀκτάς.
The Scholiast confounds the Œnoë of the tribe Hippothoontis with
that of the tribe Aiantis. The situation of the Pythium is correctly
treated by Reisig Enarr. Œd. Col. p. 134.

1033 In the passage of Philochorus ubi sup. read οἱ ἐκ τοῦ γένους Πυθιάδα
καὶ Δηλιάδα, for οἱ ἐκ τοῦ γένους Πυθίαι δὲ καὶ Δηλιάδες.

1034 The Δηλιασταὶ occurred in the laws of Solon, Athen. VI. p. 234 E.
the Πυθαϊσταὶ are mentioned in Steph. Byz. in Πυθώ.

1035 Strabo IX. p. 404 C. Eurip. Ion. 285. On the Pythium, see Thuc. II.
15. VI. 54. Isæus p. 113. 187. Suidas in Πύθιον. Suidas, Hesychius,

1038 See Æsch. Eum. 12. πέμπουσι δ᾽ αὐτὸν καὶ σεβίζουσιν μέγα
κελευθοποιοὶ παῖδες Ἡφαίστου. Compare Ephorus ap. Strab. IX. p. 422
D. Aristid. Panath. vol. I. p. 329. _Orchomenos_ p. 36. 188.

1039 This rare tradition is preserved in the Schol. Æsch. Eum. 13. Schol.
Aristid. p. 107. ed. Frommel.

1040 This explains Herod. VI. 34. ἰόντες δὲ οἱ Δόλογκοι τὴν ἱρὴν ὁδὸν διὰ
Φωκέων τεκαὶ Βοιωτῶν ἤϊσαν. καί σφεας ὡς οὐδεὶς ἐκάλεε, ἐκτράπονται
ἐπ᾽ Ἀθηνέων.

1041 There is a trace of the correct tradition in Diod. IV. 60. cf. Serv.
ad Æn. VI. 14. The funeral games of Laius were made by the poets the
motive for this journey.

1042 Ἐν πολιτείᾳ Βοττιαίων ap. Plutarch. Thes. 16. cf. Qu. Gr. 35. Conon.
Narr. c. 25.

1043 Plutarch Thes. 15. Diod. IV. 61. Ovid. Metaph. VIII. 171.

1044 The chief passage on the septenary number of the boys and girls sent
to Crete is Servius ad. Æn. VI. 21. _Septena quotannis_ (κατ᾽
ἐνιαυτὸν) _quidam septem pueros et septem puellas accipi volunt,
quod et Plato dixit in Phædone_ (p. 58.) _et Sappho in Lyricis_ (p.
255. in Wolf’s Poetr. Gr.) _et Bacchylides in Dithyramhis_ (p. 17.
ed. Neue.) _et Euripides in Hercule_ (v. 1331.), _quos liberavit
secum Theseus_.

1045 The visit to Naxos originally signified a transmission of the
worship of Dionysus and Ariadne to that island, which rites had been
kept up at the festival of the Ὀσχοφόρια, though confounded with the
laurel-bearing procession of Apollo.

1046 Boeckh Economy of Athens, vol. II. p. 150. Erysichthon is said to
have sent the ξόανον with theorias to Delos, Plutarch Fragm. 10. p.
291. ed. Hutten.

1047 This confirms a fact which we collected from other sources, viz.,
that the Thargelian Apollo was the same god as that worshipped at
Delos and Crete.—There was an ancient writing on this subject
preserved in the Daphnephoreum at Phyle in Attica, Theophrastus ap.
Athen. X. p. 424 F. The origin of the Thargelia is also referred to
Crete by a tradition, that this festival arose from the expiatory
rites for the murder of Androgeus, Helladius ap. Phot. in Gronov.
Thes. Ant. Gr. vol. X. p. 978.

1048 Paus. I. 18. 5. τὰ μὲν δὴ δύο ξόανα εἶναι Κρητικά. See above, ch. 1.

p. 1481. Apollo’s Attic title of πατρῷος is explained from his being
the πατὴρ of Ion; it is possible, however, that he was so called as
being the god of the πάτραι of the Ionians. Apollo was also called
λεσχηνόριος at Athens (Plutarch Εἰ 2. p. 217. Suidas in v.); perhaps
as being the titular deity of the 360 Δέσχαι of the 360 γένη at

mere deceit of Xuthus.

θέρμιον Buttmann corrects θέσμιον; and it is evident that θέρμα was
Elean for θέσμα, “sacred ordinance or armistice.” See Appendix V. §
2. Also Therma, the place of the Panætolia, derived its name from
this word, which is probably of Ætolian-Elean origin. On its temple
of Apollo, see Polyb. XI. 4. 2.

1157 Tischbein I. 8. 9. with the correct explanation of Italinsky. As in
the vase in Tischbien IV. 8. the tripod is represented as standing
beside the figure, which is a certain proof that Apollo is in
question.—Nevertheless, some very distinguished antiquarians are
still of opinion that the figure is _Triptolemus_, and not Apollo;
indeed the _Instituto di corrispondenza Archeologica_ at Rome has
lately published a painted vase (I. Distrib. pl. 4.), in which
Τριπτολεμος is written by this figure in the same position, and with
the same accompaniments; whence it seems to me probable that, in
antiquity, the ideas attached to this composition were not fixed. A
vase in Millin I. 46. represents Apollo Daphnephorus attended by a
Hyperborean in the Arimaspian costume.

26. Mela III. 5. Salmasius considers the gifts as θυμάτων ἀπαρχαὶ,
_prosiciæ hostiarum_, with Mela; but they were doubtless _primitiæ
frugum_, Exerc. Plin. p. 147.

1167 No weight can be laid on the particular road, as Pausanias I. 31. 2.
mentions one which touches Attica, where also there were rites or
sanctuaries, τὰ ἐξ Ὕπερβορέων, Chrysost. Epist. ad Tit. Rom. 3. vol.

1171 Herod. IV. 13. The statement of Herodotus is exactly confirmed by a
fragment of Aristeas in Tzetz. Chiliad. VII. 144. which may be
genuine. In v. 688. for καὶ σφᾶς ανθρωπους should be written καὶ
φᾶς᾽ ἀνθρώπους (φασί).

1172 Φοιβόλαμπτος. The Issedones were first mentioned by Alcman, who
called them Ἀσσέδονες, Steph. Byz. in Ἰσσήδονες. He also mentioned
the Rhipæans, Schol. Soph. Œd. Col. 1312.

1178 This is considered by Voss as the original notion, who supposes the
whole fable of the happy Hyperboreans to be an invention of Spanish
sailors, Ad Virg. Georg. II. p. 381. _Weltkunde_, Jena Journal

opinions have been implicitly followed by Uckert, Géographie, vol.

1179 See particularly Apollon. Rh. IV. 284. who, according to the
Scholia, follows Æschylus.

1197 The statement that Pythagoras placed at Delphi on a grave an
inscription of these words, “Apollo the son of Silenus,” is a
confused and fabulous story of late times, Porphr. ubi sup. The wild
olive was sacred to Apollo Nomius, according to Theocritus XXV. 20;
and he was considered the author of a kind of epilepsy, Hippocrat.

1201 Apollo is represented with a crown of ears on his head, in a gem in
Lippert’s Dactyliothek I. p. 62. No. 145. Sometimes also on coins
there is only a grain of corn with symbols of Apollo, _e.g._, on
those of Hephæstia and Abdera.

vase in Tischbein II. 17. probably refers to the sacred mice of a
Smintheum; concerning which see Heraclid. Pont. ap. Strab. ubi sup.
According to Pollux IX. 6. 84. the Argives had a mouse on their
coins (as an emblem of Apollo); Eckhel has none of this kind; Mr.
Payne Knight’s collection contains a very small ancient gold coin
with this type. See Knight on the Symbolical Language of Mythology,

hardly a Ἤλιος.

1209 The Trœzenian Ὦρος (Paus. II. 30. 6.) was probably a god of the
seasons, and afterwards the sun; but ὥρα and the Ægyptian Horus
cannot surely have any etymological connexion.

1211 See below, ch. 6. § 10. [Transcriber’s Note: There is no such

Ὅστις τὰ σιγῶντ᾽ ὀνόματ᾽ οἶδε δαιμόνων.

1213 Fragm. 48. The same doctrine was followed by Apollodorus (Macrob.
Sat. I. 17.) and Philochorus, according to whom there was a
Helius-Apollo among the Tritopatores, ap. Strab. XIV. p. 655.

1214 C. 24. It is only the following narration which is taken from the
Bassarides of Æschylus; comp. Timotheus περὶ κοσμοπούας ap. Euseb.
Scalig. p. 4.

1215 This fact refers to the actual worship of the sun in Thrace,
Sophocles in Tereo ap. Schol. Il. XV. 705.

1216 The passages in which he is considered as the god of the sun, a
fragment in J. Diaconus, and a hymn, are of the latest date. The
Sibylline oracle in Zosimus II. 6. where Apollo is called Helius, is
of the Alexandrine age; likewise the strange hymn in Brunck’s
Analecta, vol. II. p. 518. is of very late date. Moreover, the
coins, in which Apollo is represented with rays round his head, are,
as far as I can discover, all of the age of the emperors.

1217 The Apollo γενέτωρ of Delos was probably so called with a fixed
though obscure reference, like the Apollo πατρῷος, which the Orphic
philosophers in Macrob. Sat. I. 17. also explained to be
_progenitor_ in general. See above, ch. 2. § 15.

1225 Homer represents Aphrodite as the protector of Æneas and antagonist
of Diomed, and Ares in battle for the Trojans, in a disadvantageous
light; and describes, with evident irony, the weakness of the
goddess, and the brutal confidence of the god. In like manner, Diana
and the river-god Scamander sometimes play a very undignified part.
Apollo, alone, always maintains his dignity.

1229 Il. VIII. 227. He overcomes Phorbas in a boxing-match, Eurytus in a
contest of archery, to which the latter had challenged all the gods;
hence he is in general supposed to preside over contests with the
cæstus (Il. XXIII. 660. Plutarch. Quæst. Symp. VIII. 4); and amongst
the Dorians, who loved the sports of the field, was particularly
considered as a patron of archery and huntsmen. Il. XXIII. 872.

mentioned was in part the ἐλελεῦ, which according to Plutarch Thes.
22. occurred in singing the pæan and at the libation (in this
passage σπένδοντες is evidently the right meaning). Hence Apollo is
called ἐλελεὺς in Macrob. Sat. I. 17. From this also comes the
ἐλελίζειν which Xenophon often mentions, but distinguishes it from
the pæan, and represents it as performed to Enyalius or Ares, Anab.
