About This Book

The work presents a comparative survey of religious beliefs and rituals across Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and early Greece, weighing archaeological, textual, and ethnographic evidence to trace possible lines of influence. It considers chronology and intermediary cultures such as Hittite and Minoan-Mycenaean strata, analyzes morphological features like anthropomorphism and theriomorphism, and examines the prominence of female deities, cult continuity, and transformations in the development toward Greek polytheism. The author emphasizes the complexity of transmission, cautions against simplistic borrowing theories, and outlines methodological approaches for distinguishing indigenous innovations from eastern influences.

72.2 According to Aelian, certain sparrows were sacred to Asklepios, and the Athenians put a man to death for slaying one (Var. Hist., v. 17). Did Asklepios as an anthropomorphic divinity emerge from the sparrow? What, then, should we say of the sacred snake who might better claim to be his parent? Was Hermes as a god evolved from a sacred cock? Miss Harrison believes it (op. cit., ii. p. 161), because he is represented on a late Greek patera standing before a cock on a pillar. But the cock came into Europe perhaps one thousand years after Hermes had won to divine manhood in Arcadia. On the same evidence we might be forced to say that the goddess Leto came from the cock (vide Roscher’s Lexikon, ii. p. 1968, cock on gem in Vienna, with inscription Λητω Μυχια).

73.1 Ann. Brit. School, 1900-1901, p. 30; cf. the paper by M. Salomon Reinach, “Anthropologie,” vi., “La sculpture en Europe avant les influences Gréco-Romaines,” p. 561.

77.2 Protrept., p. 34, P.; Aelian, Nat. An., xii. 5. Similarly, when Diodorus tells us that “the Syrians honoured doves as goddesses” (2, 5), the statement lets little light on the real religious feeling and religious practice of the people.

91.2 Vide my Cults, vol. iv. p. 173; cf. ib., Apollo Geogr. Reg., s.v. “Phrygia,” p. 452, and R. 57.

91.3 The type with many breasts might have been suggested by Babylonian symbolism, for the Goddess of Nineveh is spoken of as four-breasted (vide Jeremias in Roscher’s Lexikon, vol. ii., s.v. “Nebo”), but Dr. Hogarth’s excavations have shown that this form of the Ephesian idol is late.

92.1 Hell. Journ., 1901, p. 168.

94.1 Mutter Erde, 1905.

94.2 Vide my Cults, v. pp. 345-365.

95.1 The Celtic question is more difficult: Prof. Rhys in his excellent paper on Celtic religion, read as a Presidential address at the Congress of the History of Religions, 1908 (Transactions, ii. pp. 201-225), gives the impression that the goddess was more in evidence than the god in old Irish mythology, and doubts whether to attribute this to the non-Indogermanic strain in the population; he notices also certain “matriarchal” phenomena in the religion; cf. ib., p. 242.

95.2 Herod., 1, 94; 4, 45 (note here the Thracian associations of Manes).

96.1 The Romanised-Celtic cult of a vague group of “Sanctae Virgines,” attested by an inscription found near Lyons (Rhys, Hibbert Lectures, p. 102), counts very little against this induction.

96.2 The warlike character of these Virgin Goddesses, Athena, Ishtar, might be explained on a sociologic hypothesis that would also account for Amazonism; in modern Albania the girl who refuses marriage is allowed to wear man’s dress and to bear arms, vide Journ. Anthrop. Inst., 1910, p. 460.

96.3 But in a recent paper (Athenische Mittheilungen, 1911, p. 27) Frickenhaus and Müller give reasons for dating the earliest Heraeum to the eighth century. At any rate, the goddess-cult in this locality was vastly older.

105.3 Zimmern regards Dumuzi or Damuzi as shortened from Dumuzi-Abzu, but Jastrow (op. cit., p. 90) would keep the two names distinct, and interprets Dumuzi simply as “Son of Life.”

109.3 Cults, vol. v. p. 296 (Dionysos, R. 63d).

109.4 The axe, the thunder-fetish, is attached to her at times, either because it was the prevalent religious symbol in Crete or because of her union with the Thunder-God.

110.1 E.g. the “Tile-God,” the lord of foundations and tiles, mentioned in the inscription of Nabonid in Keilinschr. Bibl., iii. p. 101; but cf. Jastrow, op. cit., p. 176, who regards him as a special form of Ea.

111.1 Vol. v. 417-420.

111.2 For Sun-worship indicated by Minoan monuments vide Evans, Hell. Journ., 1901, pp. 172-173; on a stone at Tenos we find a curious inscription, Ἡλιοσαρπήδονος (Cults, v. p. 451, R. 37), and Sarpedon is a Minoan-Rhodian figure.

112.1 Vide Cults, v. pp. 450-453, for references.

113.1 E.g. Plutarch, Vit. Agid., c. 11 (the Spartan ephors every nine years watch the sky, and if a star falls take it for a sign of some religious offence of one of the kings, who is suspended until the Delphic oracle determines about him).

130.1 The son of the slain man could claim compensation for manslaughter. In an Assyrian document a slave-girl is handed over to the son at the grave of the slain man. This is interesting, for it seems to point to some consideration for the feelings of the ghost (vide Johns, op. cit., p. 116).

144.1 Certain other minor powers or daimones, such as the corn-deity, the Lord of Watercourses (Shuqamunu), may have remained purely “functional,” and have acquired no moral attributes beyond the beneficent exercises of their special function. But the habitual Babylonian tendency is to moralise all the gods and goddesses.

170.1 Vide Cults, iii. pp. 305-306; Sir William Ramsay, in Amer. Journ. Arch., 1887, p. 348, expressed his belief in the prevalence of the cult of an Anatolian goddess in the later period, regarded as a virgin-mother and named Artemis-Leto; the fact is merely that the goddess Anaitis was usually identified with Artemis, but occasionally with Leto; but we nowhere find Artemis explicitly identified with Leto, and the interpretation which he gives to the Messapian inscription (Artamihi Latho[i], vide Rhein. Mus., 1887, p. 232, Deeke) appears to me unconvincing.

170.2 The fact that a part of her temple at Kyzikos was called Παρθενών does not indicate a virgin-goddess. M. Reinach is, in my opinion, right in explaining it as “the apartment of the maidens” where the maiden priestesses assembled (Bull. Corr. Hell., 1908, p. 499).

171.1 Cults, vol. i., “Athena,” R. 66.

171.2 A different view of the whole question might be presented if I was dealing here with the evidence gleaned from the period just before Christianity.

189.1 It is interesting to note the cult of the supreme god under the title of Μέγιστος in the remote district and city of Boulis, which excited the attention of Pausanias. Yet the men of Boulis were no monotheists, for they had temples of Artemis and Dionysos (Paus., 10, 37, 3; cf. my article in Anthropological Essays presented to E. B. Tylor, 1907, p. 92).
