(probably θύϊνος) Ἀπόλλων, Hesychius.
1499 For this account see a paper _Ueber den Apollon des Kanachos_, in
the Kunstblatt for 1821, No. 16. This also serves to confirm the
conjecture of Visconti that the bas-relief of the Museo
Pio-Clementino V. 23. represents Menelaus dedicating the arms of
Euphorbus to the Didymæan Apollo; for the god upon the pillar has
nearly the form in question. To the copies of this Apollo many might
now be added.

1501 Pausan. I. 4. 3. The reader should guard against supposing with
Visconti (Museo Pio-Clementino tav. I. p. 26. tav. 7. p. 93.) that
these statues of Apollo in temples had the elegant proportions and
light character of the later works of art.

1503 This important statement is given in Aristides Fragm. ap. Mai. Vet.

epigram of Antipater to the Apollo of Onatas, Brunck Analect. vol.

1504 A statue of Apollo by Myron is mentioned by Cicero in Verr. II. 4.
43.
_ 1505 E.g._ those of Mytilene, Croton, and also those of Philip the
First.
_ 1506 E.g._ the head in the Louvre, No. 133. Catalogue de Clarac.
1507 A bronze found at Argos, of the same character, is mentioned by
Pouqueville, Voyage en Grèce, tom. IV. p. 161. Heads having a great
resemblance to the Belvedere Apollo occur in many collections, some
of which have even more heroic forms.
1508 Lucian. Anachars. c. 7. In a coin of Thessalonica the Pythian Apollo
is represented in this position, with the laurel in his right hand,
the cithara beside him, and the bow at his feet (Mionnet No. 396.);
similar to those of Germe, Apollonia in Mysia, Chalcedon, and Cos.
1509 The statue of this class in the Museo Pio-Clementino I. tav. 13. is,
according to Vis conti’s conjecture, a copy of the Palatine Apollo
of Scopas, Plin. N. H. XXXVI. 4. 7. This form of the Apollo
Musagetes was most in vogue in the time of Nero. There is a
remarkable statue of this god described and figured by Raffei in his
_Ricerche sopra un Apolline delta villa Albani_. He is represented
as sitting, half-clothed, on a tripod covered with a skin, with his
right hand on his knees (to be kissed, as was the custom in
temples); in his left hand is a serpent; and his feet rest upon a
_cortina_, also covered with a skin: by the side of this is a lion’s
skin; the hair is interwoven with laurel leaves, and falls in a
broad cluster over the back. The style is neither very ancient nor
good, but the symbols and position are singular in many respects.
1510 See Ephorus ap. Strab. IX. p. 423. and Julian (ap. Cyrill. p. 153.)
on this subject.

1512 Porph. Vit. Pythag. 41. According to Aristoxenus apud Diog. Laert.
VIII. 21. he received the fundamental doctrines of his philosophy
from Themistocleia, a Pythian priestess. See Fabric. Bibl. Græc.
vol. I. p. 881. ed. Harles. and Apostol. Prov. XVII. 86.
1513 One of the important parts of the Pythagorean worship was the
_pæan_, which was sung to the lyre, in spring-time, by a person
sitting in the midst of a circle of listeners: this was called the
κάθαρσις, or purification. See Schol. Ven. Il. XXII. 391. Jamblich.
Vit. Pythag. 25. Porphyr. Vit. Pythag. 32. This is evidently an
application of ancient rites of the worship of Apollo. The Pythian
oracle likewise commanded the Greeks of Lower Italy to sing pæans in
the spring as a means of atonement. Aristoxenus p. 93. ed. Mahn.

came from Delphi (above, ch. 3. § 5.) or from Eubœa (where she was
worshipped under the name of Προσηώα at Artemisium, of Amarynthia,
near Eretria, on mount Cotylæum, and all along the Euripus, Callim.
Hymn. Dian. 188.) is uncertain.
1525 Herod. IV. 33. where the worship of the Hyperborean Artemis is also
ascribed to the Thracian and Pæonian women. Compare Tzetzes ad
Lycophr. 936. The Hymn of Olen, Pausan. V. 1.4. represented Demeter
Ἀχαιία as coming from the land of the Hyperboreans to Delos; but the
Achæan Demeter cannot be meant; and therefore I would write ΑΦΑΙΑ,
as Artemis was called in Ægina. The ἀποδημίαι of Artemis in the
Argive legend (Menander de Encom. 4. p. 38. ed. Heeren) perhaps
referred to this.

1531 Od. XI. 171. Compare Il. VI. 428. Od. XX. 60. The reason why she
kills Ariadne (Od. XI. 324.) is explained by Pherecydes in the
Scholia. Λέων γυναιξὶ (Il. XXI. 483.) probably only as a goddess of
death, and not as Pausanias IV. 30. 3. and Eustathius explain it. Ἃ
γυναικῶν μέγ᾽ ἔχει κράτος in the Attic Scolion is ambiguous.
1532 Artemis in Homer is, in the first place, the complete image of her
brother, as armed with a bow (ἰοχέαιρα, χρυσηλάκατος, τοξοφόρος Il.
XX. 39, 71. XXI. 483. Od. IV. 122. VI. 102, &c.); as a beautiful and
strong maiden (Od. IV. 122. VI. 151. XVII. 37. XIX. 54.); as killing
women suddenly and without sickness (Il. VI. 428. XIX. 59. Od. XI.
171, 323. XV. 476. XX. 61, 80.), sometimes mildly (Od. XV. 409.
XVIII. 201.), at another time in anger (Il. VI. 205.); as punishing
with death the children of Niobe (Il. XXIV. 606.) and Orion (Od. V.
123.); as κουροτρόφος, and therefore giving height to virgins (Od.
XX. 71. cf. VI. 107.); as occasionally healing (Il. V. 447.); as
honoured by choruses of singers, and herself leading the chorus (Il.
XVI. 183. cf. Hymn. XXVII. 18.). Now, besides this, there is also
the Arcadian notion of Artemis, the wood-nymph;, her chorus plays in
the woods (Od. VI. 106.); she rejoices in wild boars and stags (VI.
104.); and thus, being armed with a bow, becomes a _huntress_ (Il.
V. 51. XXI. 485.). The Ætolian Artemis, who requires θαλύσια (Il.
IX. 533.), is again of a different kind.

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

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

built the temple. To the statement of Pausanias III. 15. 7. μόνοις

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1751 Described by Archilochus, according to Schol. Ven. ad Il. XXI. 237.
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

1758 Heyne ad Il. II. 659. Strabo’s opinion, that in Homer, and the fable
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.
Compare the coin of Heraclea in Mionnet, No. 160, in which Hercules
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
Γηρυόνου βοῦς συνελθόντες (ἤθελον) ἀφελέσθαι. The _Celts_ are
introduced from some Geryonis; see Diod. V. 24. Etymol. M. p. 502.

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.

was also wounded at Pylus. The passage in the Iliad V. 392. leaves

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.

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.

1866 In making libations to Hercules not a drop was left in the goblet,

him a measure of wine, Hesych. in Οἰνιστήρια.

(frequently quoted in Athenæus), and Rhinthon in the Hercules. See

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.

1873 Athen. VI. p. 260. from Hegesander, ibid. XIV. p. 615 D. from

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.”

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

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.

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

1905 Pausan. IX. 30. 3. χώραν τὴν ὑπὸ ὄρος, τὴν Πιερίαν. Livy XLIV. 43.

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.

1908 VIII. 8. p. 330.
1909 Liv. XLIV. 9, 20. Hence also Pausanias (IX. 30. 3. X. 13. 3.)

410. X. p. 471.) Leibethrum, from Pieria. On the other hand, Arrian.
Anab. I. 11. places the ξόανον of Orpheus at Leibethra (Plutarch

Steph. Byz. in v. Αἰθικία, Æthicia lay between Tymphæa and
Athamania. In Liv. XXXII. 13. should probably be written, _in
Tymphæa terra Molottidis,_ where you would arrive by mounting the
course of the Aous. Plutarch Pyrrh. 6. connects Stymphæa and
Parauæa: τήν τε Στυμφαίαν καὶ τὴν Παραυαίαν τῆς Μακεδονίας. Comp.
Niebuhr’s Römische Geschichte, vol. III. p. 536.
1920 See particularly Polyb. II. 5. Scylax, p. 10. Comp. Thucydides,
Livy, and Strabo as above. In Proxenus ap. Steph. Byz. in v. Χαονία,
for Ταραύλιοι, Ἀμύμονες read Παραυαῖοι, Ἀτίντανες. It is mentioned
in Pseud-Aristot. Mirab. Auscult. p. 704. ed. Casaub. that Atintania
borders on Apolloniatis; and hence in p. 710. for Ἀτλαντίνων read
Ἀτιντάνων, or Ἀμαντίνων.
1921 In Liv. XXXI. 40. Sulpicius goes from Elimea to Orestis, and from
thence to Dassaretis (on the lake Lychnidus, XXVII. 32. near
Lyncestis, XXXI. 33. XXXII. 9. cf. Polyb. V. 108. Ptolem. p. 83,),
and conquers Pelion on the Erigon (see Arrian I. 5.).

1925 Mannert denies this (VII. p. 519.); but without the authority of any
good map. See Pouqueville tom. II. p. 322. Orestia was beyond
Macedonia, according to Steph. Byz.
1926 This is evident from the following passages, Plin. H. N. IV. 15. _In
Thessalia autem Orchomenos Minyeus ante dictus, et oppidum Almon ab
aliis Salmon._ Schol. Apollon. II. 1186. δύναται δὲ καὶ Ὀρχομενοῦ
μνημονεύειν τοῦ μεθορίου Μακεδονίας καὶ Θεσσαλίας. Steph. Byz. Μινύα
πόλις Θεσσαλίας ἡ πρότερον Ἁλμωνία; Diod. XX. 110. where Orchomenus
and Dium are mentioned together as cities in existence in Olymp.
119. 3; Eustath. ad Il. IX. p. 661. 4. ed. Bas. (cf. II. p. 206.
22.) who states that the Thessalian _or_ Macedonian Orchomenus was
in his time called Charmenas. See _Orchomenos_, pp. 139, 249. where
it is also shown that the Halmopians, or Salmonians, were an ancient
tribe of the Minyæ.
1927 Livy XLV. 30. says of Eordæa, Lyncestis, Pelagonia, Atintania,
Tymphæa, and Elimiotis, _frigida hæc omnis duraque cultu et aspera
plaga est_.
1928 Among the Macedonian gentile-names, such as Lyncestæ, Orestæ, Diastæ
(Steph. Byz. in Δῖον), may also be included the Cyrrhestæ (Plin. H.
N. IV. 17.) of the region Cyrrhus (Thuc. II. 100. Diod. XVIII. 4.

Peutinger. and the Itin. Anton. p. 318, 329, passes through
Lychnidus, Heraclea Lyncestis, Cellæ, Edessa, Pella, and Therma,
evidently in the higher parts followed the direction of an _ancient
pass_, the εὔπορος ὁδὸς διὰ τῆς Δασσαρήτιδος (see p. 458, note a
[Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to “Illyrian
Dassaretians,” starting “In Liv. XXXI. 40.”]) κατὰ Λύγκον, Plut.
Flamin. 4. and also Liv. XXXII. 9. where for _Lychnidum_ read
_Lyncum_.
1933 This follows from Liv. XLV. 29. _Quarta regio trans Boram montem_
(with respect to which the _tertia regio_ was _versus
septentrionem_, and therefore _versus meridiem_ of this), and XLV.
30. _Quartam regionem Eordæi et Lyncestæ et Pelagones incolunt._
1934 For example, the way in Livy XXVI. 25. cf. XXXI. 33. where the river
_Bevus_ is also mentioned, probably one of the branches, which,
according to Strabo VII. p. 327, fall into the Erigon ἐκ Λυγκηστῶν.

fabulous.
1972 Gatterer Commentat. vol. IV. p. 96. vol. VI. p. 15. is more accurate
on this point than Poppo Thucyd. vol. II. p. 421.
1973 Herod. VII. 112. Although Ἠιὼν ἐπὶ Θρᾴκης in Thuc. IV. 7. cannot be
that on the Strymon, yet Eustathius ad Il. II. 566. p. 217. ed. Bas.
is incorrect in distinguishing Ἠιὼν in Pieria from that on the
Strymon (comp. Steph. Byz. in Ἠιὼν, Schol. Thuc. I. 98.); and
Raoul-Rochette, Histoire des Colonies Grecques, tom. III. p. 207,
should not have followed him, since Pieria, viz. New-Pieria, reaches
in this point to the Strymon. But the Ἠιὼν of Thucydides is not in
Pieria, but in Chalcidice.
1974 Thuc. II. 99.
1975 The expression of Thucydides, καὶ ἔτι καὶ νῦν Πιερικὸς κόλπος
καλεῖται, proves that the circumstance had taken place long before.

1978 An objection which might be derived from Thucyd. I. 58. where,
according to the old reading, Mygdonia is distinguished from the
kingdom of Perdiccas, is removed by omitting the τε after Μυγδονίας,
which Bekker and Poppo have expunged, with good MSS.
1979 The distinction taken by Tzetzes ad Lycoph. 419. between the Ἤδωνες
and Ἠδωνοὶ, viz., that the former dwelt on the coast, the latter
inland, cannot be supported. For instance, Thucyd. I. 100. calls

near Europus; it was to this place that the Almopians probably fled.
This also explains the genealogical connexion with Pæon and Edonus.

2012 Of ancient wars of the Macedonians, not mentioned by Thucydides, I
may mention the fabulous battle between Caranus and _Cisseus_
(Pausan. IX. 40. 4.), probably a king of _Cissus_, near Therma,
which is the explanation given by Strabo VII. exc. 10. p. 330. of
Cisseus the Thracian in Il. XI. 221. Euripides transferred this war,
as well as the story of the goats, into his tragedy called
Archelaus, perhaps only written from flattery, fragm. 33. ed. Musgr.

2018 Conon Narr. c. 20. calls the Bisaltæ Thracians (Ἄργιλος was also a
Thracian name according to Heraclid. Pont. 41); and the Panæans,
whom Thucydides II. 101. calls Thracians, were an Edonian nation
according to Stephanus Byz.

to “and the coast,” starting “Thucyd. II. 99.”] Pliny H. N. IV. 17.
appears to say that the Eordi were Pæonians; and it is not
improbable that this was the fact, though the passage of Pliny is
corrupt. Herodotus VII. 185. mentions together Thracians, Pæonians,
Eordians, Bottiæans, Chalcidians, Brygians, Pierians, Macedonians,
and Perrhæbians.
_ 2037 E.g._ Thuc. IV. 124.
_ 2038 E.g._ Thucydides II. 96. mentions Thracians between mounts Hæmus
and Rhodope, Getæ and mountain Thracians together, as if the Getæ
were not Thracians. Instances of this use are very common; _e.g._
the common case of Ionians _and_ Athenians.
2039 Il. XIV. 226. And hence in the Hymn to the Pythian Apollo, v. 39.
(according to Matthiä’s and Ilgen’s conjecture), although Emathia
does not suit very well there, and the preceding word (neither
Λεύκον nor Λίγκον is in its place) remains uncertain. The Roman
poets, as is well known, use the name in a very wide sense, Heyne ad
Virg. Georg. I. 492.
2040 Plin. H. N. IV. 17. Justin. VII. 1. Gell. XIV. 6. 4. Solinus IX. 1.
distinguishes between the Edonian, Mygdonian, Pierian, and Emathian
territory, and IX. 12. derives the name of Emathia, as being that of
the most ancient Macedonia, from an Autochthon _Emathius_. Tzetzes
ad Hesiod. Op. I. Chiliad. VI. 90. states, from the Delphica of
Melisseus, that Aëropus, the eldest son of Emathion, had reigned
over Lyncus, which had previously been called Pieria,—a very
confused account.

plainly distinguishes from the Βρίγεσφρύγες (VII. 73.) the Βρύγοι
Θρήικες (VI. 45. VII. 185.) in Macedonia, who revolted to Mardonius
and came with Xerxes; and Strabo also appears completely to separate
the Βρύγοι as an Illyrian people (in p. 327. write Βρύγων) from the
Thracian Βρίγες, who are said to have entirely left Europe (VII. p.
295): still their names and settlements seem to establish a national
affinity.

of Demeter Europa, the Hermionean Europs, and the Cretan Europa. The
Cretan Ἰδομενεὺς implies the existence of a place named Ἰδομένη.

the Eordi Illyrians (above, § 26.), yet speaks only of the
Macedonian inhabitants of Eordia. Hesychius and Tzetzes ad Lycophr.
1342. call the Eordi Macedonians. Stephanus Byz. in Ἄμυρος has a
confused passage on the Amyri, who, according to Suidas, were Eordi.

2129 Hence, for example, it cannot be inferred from the distinction
between the Illyrian and Macedonian languages in Polyb. XXVIII. 8.
9. that the nations were originally of a different descent. Sturz
_De Dialecto Macedonica et Alexandrina_ has not sufficiently
distinguished the third period from the two first.
2130 For example, Steph. Byz. in v. Βορμίσκος—οὓς κύνας τῇ πατρῴᾳ φωνῇ
ἐστερικὰς καλοῦσιν οἱ Μακεδόνες. The barbarous word σκοῖδος,
signifying a kind of steward, which was used by Alexander in
letters, and adopted by Menander (Photius, p. 523. 5.) can hardly be
oriental. See also the collection of Sturz in the words ἄβαγνα,
ἄδδαι, ἀδῆ, ἀκρέα, ἄξος, &c.
2131 The Athamanes were Epirots according to Strabo, Illyrians according
to Steph. Byz. in v. The words are not Grecian.
2132 See above, Σανάδαι, and Athenæus III. p. 114 B. concerning the
Macedonian and Athamanian word δράμις or δράμιξ.
2133 This fact may be believed on the testimony of Curtius VI. 9. 35.
2134 Apollonius de Construct. III. 7. calls it the Macedonian or
Thessalian usage. Sturz, p. 28. 5. infers chiefly from this that the
Macedonian language was originally nearly the same as the Dorian.
The coins, I may remark incidentally, prove nothing, as they were
struck for intercourse with the Greeks. Adelung, on the other hand,
considers the Macedonians as Thracians (to which nation he also
refers the Illyrians), with a tinge of Greek civilisation,
Mithridat, vol. II. p. 359.
2135 See above, p. 3. notes g and h. [Transcriber’s Note: These are the
footnotes to “native dialect,” starting “Compare, for example,” and
to “Æolic,” starting “_E.g._ the nominatives.”]
2136 Above, p. 467. note c. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“on Pieria,” starting “Near the pass Volustana.”] Hence the
Cambunian mountains are now called Volutza.
2137 Above, p. 453. note g. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“Candavian chain,” starting “Ptolemy.”] The first syllable of this
name appears to be the same as of _Cambunii montes_, in which the
second part is probably the word βοῦνος, which in modern Greek still
means “a hill.” In the names of Macedonian mountains, _Barnus_,
_Bermius_, and _Bertiscus_ (Ptolemy), there is probably the same
root.
2138 Pausan. X. 6. 5. οἱ μὲν δὴ γενεαλογεῖν τὰ πάντα ἐθέλοντες, &c.
2139 Ἕλληνος δ᾽ ἐγένοντο θεμιστοπόλον Βασιλῆες Δῶρός τε Ξοῦθός τε καὶ
Αἴολος ἱππιοχάρμης. Tzetzes ad Lycoph. 284. and Schol. Apoll. Rh.
III. 1085. Other poems of Hesiod are made use of by Schol. Hom. Od.
χ’. 2.
2140 Apollodorus I. 7, 3. Pausan. V. 1, 2. &c. from the circumstance that
Achæus and Ion are represented as the _only_ sons of Xuthus, I have
inferred above that the Ionians were probably of an Achæan race.
2141 Schol. Hom. Od. κ. 2. οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν ὅτι Ἕλλην γόνῳ μὲν ἦν Διὸς,
λόγῳ δὲ Δευκαλίωνος. Compare Pindar Pyth. IV. 167. who alludes to
this fable, and Eurip Melan. IV. 2.
2142 Il. II. 684. and compare IX. 395, 474. XVI. 595. The verse ἐγχείῃ δ᾽
ἐκέκαστο Πανέλληνας καὶ Ἀχαιοὺς, II. 530, has been properly
condemned by the Alexandrine critics.
2143 Or rather “_near_ Phthia.” Homer distinguishes Hellas and Phthia
(Il. IX. 395, 478, 479. Od. XI. 495.); the tetrarchy of Phthiotis in
later times included both.
2144 Æginetica, p. 155.
2145 Hesiod. Op. et Di. 526. Βράδιον δὲ Πανελλήνεσσι φαείνει. Compare
Strabo VIII. p. 370. It may be observed, that in the three most
ancient passages in which the collective name of the Greeks occurs,
viz., the verse in the Works and Days, the spurious line in the
Iliad, and the passage in the Ἠοῖαι referred to by Strabo, they are
called, not Ἕλληνες, but Πανέλληνες.

2157 The eclipse of the sun, however, mentioned by Herodotus, does not
agree, and must be an error. VII. 37.
2158 Συλλεγομένων ἐς τωύτὸ τῶν περι την Ἑλλαδα Ἑλληνων τῶν τὰ ἀμείνω
φρονεόντων, καὶ διδόντων σφίσι λόγον καὶ πίστιν, Herod. VII. 145.
2159 VII. 157. ἔπεμψαν ἡμέας Λακεδαιμόνιοί [τε καὶ οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι] καὶ οἱ
τούτων σύμμαχοι. The words included in brackets are wanting in the
family of the Passioneus and Florence MSS., and appear to be
interpolated from c. 161.
2160 Herod. VII. 176. where the words οἱ Ἕλληνες include both the troops
and the congress.
2161 The former in the first full-moon after the solstice, the latter
about the second, Corsini Fast. Att. I. 2. p. 453.
2162 Diodorus speaks of a decree of this nature, but the oath on the
Isthmus is a rhetorical invention, XI. 29.
