1571 Pindar Nem. I. 1. calls Ortygia the resting-place of the Alpheus;
and he too, perhaps, considers Artemis as the object of pursuit.
1572 See the excellent note of Dissen ad Pind. Nem. I. p. 350.
1573 Paus. VIII. 37. 2.
1574 See Paus. VIII. 10. 4. Callim. Hym. Dian. 107. She had the name of
Ἐλαφιαία in Elis, Paus. VI. 225. Hence the Ἐλαφηβόλία (Anecd. Bekk.
p. 249.), a festival widely extended (_e.g._ Plutarch. Virt. Mul. p.
267.) The symbol of the deer, however, appears to have been common
to all the different branches of the worship of Artemis; thus there
is in Mr. Payne Knight’s collection a coin in which she is
represented bearing a stag’s horns, which he ascribes to Delos.
1575 Concerning human sacrifices to Artemis on the river Ameilichus,
which were abolished by the worship of Dionysus Æsymnetes, at Patræ,
see the description in Paus. V. 19. 1. Human sacrifices were also
offered to the same goddess near Megalopolis, Tatian adv. Græcos I.

(χρυσήνιος) is frequently represented on vases in a chariot with
horses; in Callimach. Hymn. Dian. 110. and in the bas reliefs of
Phigaleia, she is attended by goats.
1579 Under the title of κορυθαλλία at the Tiassa, near Sparta, near the

1588 The διαμαστίγωσις was preceded by the φούαξιρ, ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς χώρας
σωμασκία τῶν μελλόντων μαστιγοῦσθαι, Hesychius. The word φούαξιρ
appears to be derived from φούα, Laconian for φύα, and ἄξιρ or ἄξις
contracted from ἄσκησις. See App. V. § 4. Comp. Hemsterhuis and

1620 The union of Apollo of Colophon, of the Ephesian Diana, and of the
Nemesis of Smyrna on coins of these cities in the time of the
emperors is only a mutual compliment. In the speech of the Ephesians
in Tacitus Annal. III. 61. there is evidently much inaccuracy. The
Ἀπόλλων Ἀμαζόνιος in Paus. III. 25. 2. is a singular curiosity.

distinguishing the temple of Here at Prosymna from the celebrated
one. The names _Prosymna_ and _Prosymnus_ also occur at Lerna and at
Gortyna in Arcadia. Inscription of Gortyna in Boeckh No. 1535, ἁ

1645 Pausanias III. 13. Sturz Pherecydes, p. 79. See particularly Heyne
ad Il. Δ. 52. Eurydice the daughter of Acrisius was said to have
built the temple. To the statement of Pausanias III. 15. 7. μόνοις
δὲ Ἑλλήνων Λακεδαιμονίοις καθέστηκεν Ἥραν ἐπονομάζειν αἰγοφάγον καὶ
αἶγας τῇ θεῷ θύειν (compare Hesych. in Αἰγοφάγος Χήρα ἐν Σπάρτῃ with
Welcker on Schwenck’s Etymologische Andeutungen, p. 294.), it may be
objected that the same custom prevailed in Corinth; see Photius Lex.

75, 79. Also at Syracuse, Ælian. V.H. VI. 11, &c.
_ 1649 Orchomenos_, p. 297. The divinity of Medea there asserted is
completely proved by the testimony of Athenagoras Legat. p. 14. that
Hesiod and Alcman called her _goddess_.
1650 She was worshipped under the titles of Εἰλήθυια and Γαμηλὴ,
Hesychius in Εἰλήθυια, Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1156.

contains much in the spirit of the ancient religion, and Welcker on

in Ἀκρέα.
1658 But with a particular reference to Bellerophon. From Pegasus was
derived the goddess Hippia, Pind. Olymp. XIII. 97, whose altar was
chiefly remarkable for the rite of incubation. Ἑλλωτία is, as we
also learn from the Scholiast of Pindar, like Ἀλέα, the goddess of
light. There was also the worship of Athene at Syracuse, Diod. de
Virt. et Vit. p. 549. ed. Wesseling.
1659 Boeckh Explic. ad Pind. Olymp. II. 1. p. 123. V. 9. p. 148, and
particularly Polyb. IX. 27. 7. with Timæus in Steph. Byz. in
Ἀτάβυρον. The Athene Polias of Trœzen was introduced by the Ionians,
as the other worships of that city show.
1660 She was always called “the Lindian” even in the city of Rhodes,
Meurs. Rhod. I. 6. Compare Apostolius XVII. 17.
1661 Strabo X. pag. 472. ὡς εἶεν Κορύβαντες δαίμονες τινες, Ἀθηνᾶς καὶ

the festival ἀνακαλυπτήρια (Schol. rec. ad Olymp. VI. 160), and this
festival was derived from Thebes. Cyzicus also, founded by
Tyrrhenian Pelasgi (from Bœotia), was considered as an ἐμπροίκιον of

and Trœzen was also connected with that of Demeter, as the
manuscript Scholiast ap. Mitscherlisch ad Hymn. in Cerer. 122.
declares. But Δημήτηρ Ἀζησία (Sophocl. ap. Hesych. in v. comp.
Valcken. Adoniaz. p. 292) and Δημήτηρ Ἀμαία (Suidas in v.) must not
be confounded with those goddesses.

1744 Erineus was, according to a fable preserved in a strange and
apocryphal inscription, the place of a combat between Hercules and
Calchas Mopsus. Boeckh, No. 1759. Κάλχαντα Μόψον δικαίως Ἡρακλῆς
χλεύμενος (_i.e._ χολούμενος) περὶ ἐρινεοῦ, πλήξας αὐτὸν τῷ κολάφῳ
καὶ ἀποκτείνας τέθαφεν ἐν Ἐρινεῷ. The transcript has δικαιος and
τεθαψεν; for which Hermann has emended as above. The inscription
itself is a fabrication either of the latest period of antiquity, or
of the middle ages. The same legend is told, with additional
circumstances, and a different locality, by Tzetzes ad Lycoph. 980.
According to Hesiod, the contest was between the two prophets,
Calchas and Mopsus, fragm. 14. ed. Gaisford.

1752 Archilochus ap. Schol. Apoll. Rh. I. 1213. This scene is very
coarsely represented on an ancient vase (Hancarville IV. 31.), with
the inscription ΔΑΙΑΝΕΙΡΑ ΝΕΣΣΟΣ, as should be read.
1753 See the verse in Strabo VIII. p. 342. Steph. Byz. in Ὤλενος, which,
however, probably belongs to the story in Apollod. I. 8. 4.
1754 According to Hyginus Fab. 31, 33. Deianira is the daughter of
Dexamenus. The Schol. Callim. Hymn. Del. 102. call Dexamenus himself
a Centaur; and thus on a vase of the best age Hercules is
represented as wrestling with him for Deianira, with the inscription

of Hercules, Ephyra in Elis is meant (VII. p. 328. VIII. 338.), is
refuted by the passages of Homer himself.
1759 Some of these fables were mixed up with the war against Pylos, and
some (_e.g._, the abduction of Cerberus) taken over to Tænarum and
Heraclea Pontica; the latter probably first by Herodorus, who was a
native of that Heraclea, see Heeren de fontibus Plutarchi, p. 17.

is represented as bringing Cerberus to the statue of Demeter.

Erythea, according to Apollodorus, should probably also be referred
to this district. At least there were Abantes in the exact spot
where Erythea is placed, on the Aous, near Oricum. According to
Aristot. Mirab. § 145. Erythea was in the territory of the Ænianes.
Hercules stole the oxen there from Cythera Persephassa. Compare
Antonin. Liberal, c. 4. πολεμήσαντας γὰρ αὐτῷ Κελτοὺς καὶ Χάονας καὶ
Θεσπρώτους καὶ σύμπαντας Ἠπειρώτας ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ κρατηθῆναι, ὅτι τὰς

1767 Herod. IX. 93. Conon, Narr. c. 30. Two legends connected with this
fable are remarkable; first, the punishment of blindness for any one
who had neglected the worship of the Sun; secondly, the tale that
the Greek gods themselves had sent wolves against their herds. The
cattle of the Sun in the Odyssey are only those of Tænarum and
Epirus transferred to a greater distance: there was likewise a
fabulous reason for the νηθάλιοι θυσίαι of the Sun, as they were
performed in many cities of Greece, Od. XII. 363.

1782 The reconsecration on the foot of a candelabrum at Dresden. The
atonement, on a Corinthian _puteal_, in the genuine archaic style,
published by Dodwell in his Travels and his collection of
Bas-reliefs, Rome, 1820. It afterwards came into the possession of
the late lord Guilford. In this Apollo, Artemis, and Latona are met
by Pallas, Hercules, and Alcmena, or some other woman: the Graces
follow behind. Perhaps this is a copy of the Sicyonian group of
Dipœnus and Scyllis (Plin. H. N. XXXVI. 4.) unless this also
represented the contest, as the one in Paus. ubi sup. There is a
similar composition on a vase in Millingen’s Vases de Coghill, pl.
11. Apollo δαφνηφόρος, sitting by the tripod with Artemis and
Latona, receives Hercules; a goddess with a sceptre (Vesta,
according to Zoega), and Hermes, are standing by. Hercules is always
drawn as a youth in this subject.

1797 The madness of Hercules also occurred in the Κύπρια ἔπη, as appears
from the extract of Proclus (at the end of Gaisford’s Hephæstion);
but in that poem it was, if I rightly apprehend the context,
represented as caused by the love and seduction of Hercules.

as a guide to Aphidna. According to Alcman (Fragm. 3. ed. Welcker)
and the inscription on the chest of Cypselus (Paus. V. 19. 1.) they
even conquered Athens. How this is connected with the gloss in
Hesychius, Ἀσαναίων πόλιν τὰς Ἀφίδνας, which probably refers to
Alcman, does not appear.

1832 See Pind. Olymp. III. 14. where the connexion seems to be as
follows: Hercules, while chasing the hind of Artemis, arrives at the
country of the Hyperboreans, at the source of the Ister, and there
sees the beautiful olive-trees. Afterwards, when about to found the
Olympic games, he remembers these trees, and procures some young
shoots to plant the bare and sunny plains of Elis. On the κότινος of

with that of Here, concerning which see Athen. VI. p. 262.

1862 This worship certainly originated at Delphi, since the Delphic
oracle in Demosth. in. Mid. p. 531. 7. orders the Athenians to offer
sacrifices περὶ ὑγιείας to the supreme Zeus, Hercules, and Apollo
προστατήριος. Concerning Hercules ἀλεξίκακος see Libanius Ep. 12.
Dio Chrysost. Orat. I. p. 17. Schol. Aristoph. Nub. 1375. and Schol.
Apoll. Rh. I. 1218. comp. Marini Ville Alban. p. 141. No. 152. This
character of the hero is generally alluded to in the exclamations
Ἡράκλεις, Me Hercules; and as such, representations of sheep were
offered to him (otherwise the usual sacrifices were swine); and he
was called Μήλων at Thebes, Pollux I. 1. 27. 30. and at Melite in
Attica.—See Apollod. ap. Zenob. V. 12. Hesych. in Μήλων. Schol.
Aristoph. Pac. 42. cf. 740. Suidas in Μήλιος.
1863 Strab. XIII. p. 613. This, however, was not the original Grecian
Hercules; above, § 8. Hercules ἀπόμυιος (the averter of flies) was
worshipped at Rome, according to Clemens Alexand. Protrept. I. p.
24. ed. Sylb. a title of Zeus at Olympia.
1864 According to Pausanias, who also gives an account of several
Dædalian wooden images of Hercules. The divine worship at Sicyon
(Paus. II. 10. 1.) may, however, be referred to the Idæan Dactylus,
since this town was anciently connected with Phæstus.
1865 Pind. Nem. I. 67. (cf. VII. 90) represents Hercules as engaged in
this contest with the gods, probably a short time before his
deification. The first representations of Hercules the
giant-destroyer occur on the throne of the Amyclæan Apollo. Pausan.
III. 18. 7. and some very ancient vases.
1866 In making libations to Hercules not a drop was left in the goblet,
Athen. XII. p. 1512 F. Those who wished to make libations brought
him a measure of wine, Hesych. in Οἰνιστήρια.
1867 For instance, Epicharmus in the Busiris, and The Marriage of Hebe
(frequently quoted in Athenæus), and Rhinthon in the Hercules. See
Athen. XI. p. 500 F.
1868 See _e.g._, Eubulus ap. Athen. XIII. p. 567.
1869 On this poem see Fabric. Biblioth. Gr. vol. I. p. 378. ed. Harles.
Thermopylæ appears to have been the earliest locality of this fable
(Herod. VII. 216. above, ch. 11. § 5.), but in this poem the scene
was perhaps laid in Œchalia in Eubœa; at least Tzetzes, enumerating
the poems attributed to Homer, mentions the Κέρκωπες next to the
Οἰχαλίας ἅλωσις (ap. Bentl. Epist. ad Mill. p. 505, ed.
Lips.).—Hence Diotimus, in his poem on the labours of Hercules,
called the Cercopes Œchalians, viz., in Eubœa, whence they ravaged
the territory of Bœotia (Suidas in Εὐρύβατος. Apostol. IX. 33.
Schol. Lucian. Alexand. 4. 71.): Æschrion of Sardis, in his Ephesis,
was probably the first who transplanted them to Lydia (Lobeck _de
Cercopibus el Cobalis_ p. 7.), and Xenagoras to the Pithecusæ
(apparently in his treatise περὶ Νήσων, ap. Harpocrat. in Κέρκωπες.
Lactant. Fab. XIV. 3. Zenobius, Apostol. XI. 24.). Among the
Athenian comic poets Hermippus and Plato treated this fable; but the
composition in Hancarville III. 88. in which Hercules reaches two
monkey-shaped Cercopes in nets or cages to Eurystheus sitting on a
throne, seems to be a representation of an Italian farce.

1871 See Reinganum’s Selinus, plate 3. (Leipsig. 1827).
1872 Μή τευ μελαμπύγου τύχοις. See the Parœmiographers, Photius, Suidas,
&c., in this expression, Diod. IV. 31. and others. The proverb
occurred in Archilochus, fragm. 106. ed. Gaisford.
1873 Athen. VI. p. 260. from Hegesander, ibid. XIV. p. 615 D. from
Telephanes. Perhaps Hercules had παράσιτοι here as well as at
Cynosarges and other demi. See Diodorus of Sinope in Athen. VI. p.
239 E.
1874 Book IV. ch. 6. § 9. 10. ch. 7.
1875 Our knowledge of Macedonia has been much increased by the Travels of
F. C. H. L. Pouqueville from Janina to Greveno and Castoria, of H.
Pouqueville from Guilan to Mezzovo, and Barbié du Bocage’s (the
younger) Examination of the Ruins of Pella; although in the _Voyage
dans la Grèce_ (tom. II.) of the first-named writer some singular
notions, arising from an imperfect knowledge of ancient geography
(_e.g._, of _Haliacmonts_), somewhat confuse the description. But
the _Carte de la Grèce Moderne_, by J D. Barbié du Bocage, is a work
of great accuracy, and it has been implicitly followed in the
annexed Map.
1876 Its rise in these mountains, and course through Pæonia (Liv. XXXIX.
53. Strabo VII. p. 327. cf. Exc. 9. p. 330. ed. Casaub. Ptolem. p.
82. ed. Montan.). prove that it is the modern Cara-Sou.
1877 Strabo VII. 9. p. 330. states that the Ludias runs out of the lake
on which Pella is situated; which is now the lake of Jenidge.
(According to modern maps it is not true that the lake is formed by
an ἀπόσπασμα of the Axius; but in ancient times also the marshes
reached to the east of Pella, Liv. XLIV. 46.) Compare Strabo VII. 8.
p. 330. It is evident from Herodotus VII. 127. that the Lydias was
next to the Axius. Λοιδίας was the reading found by Harpocration in
Æschines de Fals. Leg. p. 44.
1878 Herod. VII. 127. Scylax agrees with Herodotus, p. 26. ed. Hudson,
where the places come in the following order: “Pydna, Methone, the
mouth of the Haliacmon, Alorus, the Lydias, then Pella, the Axius,
the Echeidorus, and Therma.” On the other hand, Strabo, who
represents the Haliacmon as falling into the sea near Dium (VII. 8.
p. 330.), perhaps confounding it with the Helicon, (Pausan. IX. 30.
4.) is supported by Ptolemy, p. 82. “Thessalonice, the Echeidorus,
the Axius, the Lydias, Pydna, the Haliacmon, Dion, Pharybas (read
Baphyras), the Peneus.”
1879 Plutarch de Exilio 10.
1880 Or Lacmus, in which mountain the Aous and the Inachus, a branch of
the Achelous, have their source, Hecatæus ap. Strab. VI. p. 271.
VII. p. 316. Steph. Byz. in v. Λάκμων. Sophocles ap. Strab. VI. p.
271. Herod. IX. 93. The _Lingus_ of Livy XXXII. 13. is nearly the
same mountain.
1881 Ptolemy. It seems plain that the Καναλόουια ὄρη of Ptolemy, in which
the Haliacmon rises, and the Κανδαουία ὄρη before Lychnidus, in
Strabo, Cæsar, Cicero, and the Tab. Peuting. are the _same_ name,
and that the passage of Ptolemy is corrupt. The ridge is, indeed,
broken by the Genusus.
1882 See next note.
1883 Strabo VII. Exc. 11. p. 330. This _Bermius_ is a continuation of
mount _Barnus_, at the foot of which the Via Egnatia passes (Strab.
VII. p. 323.), and the same as the _Bernus_ of Diodorus, fragm. 27.
p. 229. ed. Bipont, or the _Bora_ of Livy XLV. 29. 30. where it must
be distinguished between what properly belongs to a _regio_ and what
_adjicitur_. See below, p. 459, note n. [Transcriber’s Note: There
is no such footnote number on that page.]

1885 Below, § 17.
1886 Below. § 11.
1887 VII. 113.
1888 Herodotus (ubi sup.) appears also to call the mountain between the
Strymon and Angites, Pangæum.

1890 Herod. VII. 124.
1891 Thuc. I. 58.
1892 Il. 99.
1893 Herod. VII. 115. Diodonis XXVII. p. 229. also places the Bisaltæ to
the west of the Strymon; somewhat differently Liv. XLV. 29, 30.
Compare Gatterer’s excellent Dissertations _de Herodoti et
Thucydidis Thracia_, and Commentat. Gotting. vol. 5. p. 33.
1894 Herod. VII. 124. cf. 127. It is, however, singular that Xerxes
should go from Acanthus to Therma in Mygdonia, beyond Pæonia (on the
Axius?) and Crestonica. This Crestonica is probably quite different
from the Crestonæi at the source of the Echeidorus, and is a
district of Chalcidice. See the author’s _Etrusker_, vol. I. p. 96.

1896 VII. 123. Βοττιαΐδα, τῆς ἔχουσι τὸ παρὰ θάλασσαν στεινὸν χωρίον

opinion of Herodotus, a coast-town.
1897 Of Apollo, according to Hesychius in Ἰχναίην. Macedonia had been
called from it Ἰχναίη by some poet, Hesychius and Suidas in v. The
city is mentioned by Eratosthenes ap. Steph. Byz. Plin. H. N. IV.
17. and Mela II. 3. Stephanus Byz. confounds with this town that in
Thessaly. Themis was worshipped at Ichnæ, according to Strabo IX. p.
435.

1900 In Polybius V. 97. 4. Bottia and Amphaxitis are also mentioned
together.
1901 Βοττία in II. 99. should probably be written Βοττιαία, as in II.
100. (or the reverse; see notes c and f in this page, and Etym. Mag.
in v.) [Transcriber’s Note: Note c begins “In Polybius V. 97. 4.”
and note f begins “Thucyd. I. 65.”]
1902 See below, p. 465, note k. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote
to “according to Herodotus,” starting “VIII. 127.”]
1903 Thucyd. I. 65, II. 79, 101. The passage of Theopompus ap. Steph.
Byz. in v. Αἰόλιον should be thus written: πόλιν Αἰόλιον τῆς
Βοττικῆς (vulg. Ἀττικῆς) μὲν οὖσαν, πολιτευομένην δὲ μετὰ τῶν
Χαλκιδέων. The inhabitants, however, are always called Βοττιαῖοι in
Thucydides. Βοττιαία for Βοττικὴ, Dionysius ad Amm. I. 9. The great
etymologist in Βοττεία also notices the distinction between Βοττικὴ
and Βοττιαία; where write Βοττικὴ ἡ Χαλκιδικὴ γῆ (ΧΑΛΚΙΔΙΚΗ for
ΧΑΛΔΑΙΚΗ).
1904 VII. 127. Compare the expression οἱ οὐρίζουσι γῆν Βοττιαΐδα τε καὶ
Μακεδονίδα, with VII. 123. ὅς οὐριζει χώρην τὴν Μυγδονίην τε καὶ
Βοττιαιΐδα.
1905 Pausan. IX. 30. 3. χώραν τὴν ὑπὸ ὄρος, τὴν Πιερίαν. Livy XLIV. 43.
calls the mountain-forest above Pydna _Pieria sylva_.
1906 With Strabo VII. 8. p. 330. who makes Pæonia extend to the Axius
(and so Ptolemy, p. 82.); though he afterwards places Alorus to the
south of the Lydias, and yet in Bottiæa. There is, however, much
confusion in this passage.
1907 See below, § 17.
1908 VIII. 8. p. 330.
1909 Liv. XLIV. 9, 20. Hence also Pausanias (IX. 30. 3. X. 13. 3.)
appears to distinguish Dium (τὸ ὑπὸ τῇ Πιερίᾳ), and Strabo (IX. p.
410. X. p. 471.) Leibethrum, from Pieria. On the other hand, Arrian.
Anab. I. 11. places the ξόανον of Orpheus at Leibethra (Plutarch
Alexand. 14.) in Pieria.
1910 I have placed Dium at the _ruines_ in B. du Bocage; Platamona is
perhaps the ancient temple of Hercules.
1911 VII. 8. p. 330. comp. Wesseling ad Anton. Itin. p. 328. and Drakenb.
