PREFACE THIS book contains materials for research in greater measure than it the results of it presents ; and, accordingly, it is not my purpose to preface it with an extended summary of the many wide generalizations to which the assemblage of fact and legend here recorded may seem to lead. This book indeed includes only a small part of the notes I have gathered together since I began years ago, as an under- graduate, ignorant of the difficulties of the task, to prepare the way for a new edition of the Natural History of the Philosopher. Three points, however, in my treatment of the present subject deserve brief explanation here. Instead of succeeding in the attempt to identify a greater number of species than other naturalist-commentators, dealing chiefly with the Aristotelian birds, have done, I have on the contrary ventured to identify a great many less. This limita- tion on my part is chiefly due to the circumstance that I have not ventured to use for purposes of identification a large class of statements on which others have more or less confidently relied. A single instance may serve to indicate the state- ments to which I allude. In the Historia Animalium (especially in the Ninth Book, great part of which seems to me to differ in character and probably in authorship from all but a few isolated passages of the rest of the work), in the works of such later writers as Pliny, Aelian and Phile, and scattered here and there in earlier literary allusions, we find many instances recorded of supposed hostility or friendship between different animals. When we are told, Xll PREFACE for example, that avOos is hostile to anavOk and to the Horse, to that TTITTW is hostile to iroutA.1?, to Kopi>5coi>, to \Xapevs and another epooSto's, that one Hawk is hostile to the Raven and to the Dove, and one Eagle to the Goose or to the Swan, we try at first to use these statements as best we can in unravelling the probable identification of the respective species. But when we find, for instance, among the rest that the Owl is hostile to the Crow, and when we recognize in that statement the ancient Eastern fable of the War of the Owls and Crows, we are tempted to reject the whole mass of such statements and to refuse them entry into the domain of Zoological Science. While former commentators have, with greater or less caution, rejected many fables, they have often rashly accepted many others. And I fear for my part that I in turn, while rejecting a much greater number, have perhaps also erred in ascribing a fabulous or mystical meaning to too few. For many such statements, and for others equally unin- telligible in the terms of Natural History, I offer a novel and, at first sight, a somewhat startling explanation : to wit, that very many of them deserve not a zoological but an astronomical interpretation. In the spring of 1894 I read to the Royal Society of * Edinburgh a paper (which I have not yet printed) on Bird and Beast in Ancient Symbolism'. In that essay I sought to demonstrate the astronomic symbolism of certain ancient monuments, especially of the great bas-relief of Cybele in 1 of the beast and bird- the Hermitage Museum ; secondly, emblems of classical 2 and of certain fables coinage ; lastly, or myths of the philosophers and poets. 1 This monument, a figure of which is accessible in Miss J. E. Harrison's Mythology of Ancient Athens, represents, according to my view, the ancient tropics of Leo and Aquarius, with Taurus and Leo in symbolic combat in the frieze below. 2 The identical theory, in so far as it applies to numismatic emblems, was pro- mulgated a few months afterwards by M. Jean Svoronos in a learned and scholarly paper, to be found in the Bulletin de Correspondence Hellenique for 1894; but the theory was not so novel as M. Svoronos and I supposed it to be. In con- nexion with coins or gems, it is explicitly and admirably stated by Gorius, De PREFACE Xlll Many illustrations of this theory of mine will be found 1 in the pages of this Glossary . Suffice it to say here, in briefest illustration, that the Eagle which attacks the Swan and is in turn defeated by it, is, according to my view, the constellation Aquila, which rises in the East immediately after Cygnus, but, setting in the West, goes down a little while before that more northern constellation that Haliaetus ; and Ciris are the Sun and Moon in opposition, which rise and set alternately, like the opposite constellations of Scorpio and Orion with which the poet compares them. Among many other opinions and testimonies to the same effect, let us listen to the words of a Father of the Church : ' The ancients believed that the legends about Osiris and Isis, and all other mythological fables [of a kindred sort], have reference either to the Stars, their configuration, their risings and their settings, or to the wax and wane of the Moon, or to the cycle of the Sun, or to the diurnal and nocti-diurnal hemispheres V The proof and the acceptance of such a theory as this are linked with considerations far-reaching in their interest. The theory has its bearing on our new knowledge of the orientation of temple-walls; it helps to explain what Quintilian meant when he said that acquaintance with Astronomy was essential to an of the Poets the understanding ; wide-spread astronomic knowledge which it presupposes may account for the singular interest in and admiration of the didactic poem of Aratus, the poem translated by Germanicus and Cicero and St. Paul and the whole to quoted by ; hypothesis points a broad distinction between two great orders of Myth. Myths are spontaneous or literary, natural or artificial. Some come to us from the Childhood of Religion and the Childhood of the World it ; dream-pictures as were from the half-opening eyes of awakening intelligence, archaic traces of the and of and men these thoughts ways primitive simple ; Gemmis and a kindred but in to Astriferis, 1750 ; exaggerated development, regard legend, of the same hypothesis forms the method of Dupuis. 1 Cf. pp. 8, 28, 31, 63, 107, 121, 132, 192, &c. 3 Euseb, Pr. Ev. iii. c. 4. XIV PREFACE are the folk-lore tales and customs that are presented to us by the school of Mannhardt. But others, and these for the most part are astronomic myths, belonging to a relatively later age, were artificially invented of the wise, to adorn, or conceal their store of had their preserve, learning ; they birth in cultured homes of deep religion, of treasured science, of exalted poetry. Both orders of Myth come to us with the glamour of antiquity, and each has for us a diverse but perennial interest : d <TTa<pv\\s <TTa(j)is eVri, KOI ov p68ov avov oXemu. The distinction between these two orders of Myth was out an ancient critic l he drew the dis- pointed long ago by ; tinction clearly, but the tales of folk-lore, puerile in his eyes, found no echo of sympathy in the old scholar's heart.

We furveyed the Euxine fea with the greater pleafure, as we viewed it from the lame fpot, whence both Xenophon and Yourfelf had formerly ob- ferved it.

It is to be observed in this Index, which is made for the sake of complete and easy refer- ence to the Maps, that the Latitude and Longitude of Rivers, and names of Countries, are given from the points where their names happen to be written in the Map, and not from any- remarkable point, such as their source or embouchure. The same River, Mountain, or City &c, occurs in different Maps, but is only mentioned once in the Index, except very large Rivers, the names of which are sometimes repeated in the Maps of the different countries to which they belong. The quantity of the places mentioned has been ascertained, as far as was in the Author's power, with great labor, by reference to the actual authorities, either Greek prose writers, (who often, by the help of a long vowel, a diphthong, or even an accent, afford a clue to this,) or to the Greek and Latin poets, without at all trusting to the attempts at marking the quantity in more recent works, experience having shown that they are extremely erroneous.

The Local Impact Of The Koinon In Roman Coastal Paphlagonia Abstract This dissertation studies the effects that a “koinon” in the Roman period could have on its constituent communities. The tudys traces the formation process of the koinon in Roman coastal Paphlagonia, called “the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus,” and its ability to affect local customs and norms through an assortment of epigraphic, literary, numismatic and archaeological sources. The er sults of the study include new readings of inscriptions, new proposals on the interpretation of the epigraphic record, and assessments on how they inform and change our opinion regarding the history and the regional significance of the coastal Paphlagonian koinon. This study finds that the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus in coastal Paphlagonia was a dynamic organisation whose membership and activities defined by the eparchic administrative boundary of the Augustan settlement and the juridical definition of the Pontic identity in the eparchic sense. The necessary process that forced the periodic selection of municipal peers to attain koinon leadership status not only created a socially distinct category of “koinon” elite but also elevated the koinon to extraordinary status based on consensus in the eparchia.

Thus, there is not yet an English detailed commentary on his prose work, the Erotika Pathemata. However, many reasons make this prose work interesting. Firstly, the work survives in a single manuscript, making thus a critical edition requiring a special attention. Secondly, the thirty-six stories of the Erotika Pathemata have been ‘de-hydrated’, since the collection was intended to be used as a model for poetry (primarily by Parthenios himself).

Por Dios, si con él topase, muy gran su privado pienso que fuese y que mil servicios le hiciese, porque yo sabría mentille tan bien como otro, y agradalle a las mil maravillas: reille ya mucho sus donai- res y costumbres, aunque no fuesen las mejores del mundo;
