[587] Pausanias mentions the apartments of the daughters of Proetus. l. 2.
p. 169. But the daughters of Proetus were property the virgins who
officiated at the Purait, the young priestesses ot the Deity.
The Sicilian Cyclopes were three, because there were three towers only,
erected upon the islands called Cyclopum Scopuli; and that they were
lighthouses is apparent from the name which still remains: for they are at
this day styled Faraglioni, according to Fazellus. The Cyclopes of Tiryns
were seven, as we learn from Strabo; because the towers probably were in
number so many. From this circumstance we may presume, that the ideas of
the antients concerning the Cyclopians, were taken from the buildings which
they erected.
[588] The Cyclopian buildings were also called Ouranian. [Greek: Kuklopeia
t' ourania teichea.] Euripid. Electra. v. 1158.
[589] Both Cuclops, and Cuclopes, was the name of a place. We may,
therefore, I think, be pretty well assured, that the Cyclopians were from
hence denominated. And as sacred places had their names from the Deity, to
whom they were dedicated, it is very probable, that the Cuclopian towers
were named from Coelus Ops, the Deity there worshipped: for I have shewn,
that this people were the reputed children of Ouranus and Coelus.

Aithousa, Alphiousa, Ampelousa, Pithecousa, Scotousa, Arginousa,
Lampadousa, Amathousa, Ophiousa, Asterousa; and signifies the temple of
Metis, or divine wisdom. Aster-Ous was a temple on Mount Caucasus:
Amath-Ous, the same in Cyprus: Ampel-Ous, a temple in Mauritania:
Alphi-Ous, in Elis: Achor-Ous, in Egypt: all dedicated to the Deity, under
different titles.

[606] Acmonides is represented as a patronymic; but there is reason to
think that it is an Amonian compound, Acmon-Ades, Acmon the God of light,
the same as Coelus, Cronus, and Osiris. Acmon and Acmonides were certainly
the same person: [Greek: Akmon; Kronus, Ouranos.] Hesych. [Greek:
Akmonides, ho Charon, kai ho Ouranos]. ibid. He was the Cyclopian God, to
whom different departments were given by the mythologists. Charon Cyclops
is mentioned by Lycophron. v. 659. above quoted.
