Near Stonehenge there is a tumulus known nowadays as El barrow, and Salisbury Plain itself was once named Ellendune or Ellen Down. The Greeks or Hellenes claimed to be descendants of the Dodonian Ellan or Hellan, a personage whom they esteemed as the "Father of the First-born Woman". Ellan or Hellan was alternatively entitled Hellas, and in Greek the word _allos_ meant "the one". Tradition said that the Temple of Ellan at Dodona--a shrine which antedated the Greek race, and was erected by unknown predecessors--was founded by a Dove, one of two birds which flew from Thebes in Egypt. The super-sacred tree at Dodona, as in Persia and elsewhere, was the oak, and the rustling of the wind in the leaves of the oak was poetically regarded as the voice of the All-Father. The Hebrew for an oak tree is _allon_, _elon_, or _allah_, and Allah is the name under which many millions of our fellow-men worship The Alone. To this day the oak tree is sacred among the folk of Palestine,[150] particularly one ancient specimen on the site of old Beyrut or Berut--a place-name which, as we shall see, may be connoted with Brut.

(Etruscan sculpture.)] B being invariably interchangeable with P, the Ban of Alban is the same as the Greek Pan.[151] From Pan comes the adjective _pan_ meaning _all_, _universal_, so that Alban may perhaps be equated with Holy Pan. _Hale_ also means healthy, and the circular _halo_ symbolising the glorious sun was used by the pagans long before it was adopted by Christianity. By the Cabalists--who were indistinguishable from the Gnostics--Ell was understood to mean "the Most Luminous," Il "the Omnipotent," Elo "the Sovereign, the Excelsus," and Eloi "the Illuminator, the Most Effulgent". Among the Greeks _ele_ meant refulgent, and Helios was a title of Apollo or the Sun. [Illustration: FIG. 23.--The statue of Diana of the Ephesians worshipped at Massilia. From _Stonehenge_ (Barclay, E.).] The Peruvians named their Bona Dea Mama Allpa, whom they represented, like Ephesian Diana, as having numerous breasts, and they regarded Mama Allpa as the dispenser of all human nourishment. In Egypt _pa_ meant _ancestor_, _beginning_, _origin_, and the Peruvian many-breasted Mama Allpa seemingly meant just as it does in English, _i.e._, mother, _All pa_ or _All-feeder_. It is important to note that the British Albion was not always considered as a male, but on occasions as the "Lady Albine".[152]
