SATURDAY.

The god _Seater_, for whom the last day of the week is named, is the same

as Saturn, which is from Greek--_Time_.

He is pictured, unlike Saturn, with long, flowing hair and beard, thin

features, clothed in person with one entire garment to his ankles and

wrists, with his waist girded by a linen scarf. In his right hand he

carries a wheel, to represent rolling time. In his left hand he holds a

pail of fruit and flowers, to indicate young time as well as old. The fish

which is his pedestal represents his power over the abundance of even the

sea.
