[626] I cannot of course absolutely affirm that the word is extinct in
every dialect even now; but the only suggestion of its use which I can
find is in a story of Hahn’s collection (_Alban. und Griech. Märch._
II. 189), where the German translation has the strange word ‘Wolfsmann.’

[655] Hesiod, _Shield of Heracles_, 178 ff. Cf. also the names Ἄγριος
and Ἔλατος (suggesting ἐλάτη, the fir-tree from which their weapons
were made) in Apollodor. II. 5. 4. The name Ἄσβολος in Hesiod, meaning
‘soot,’ I cannot interpret; for it is hard to suppose that the ancient
Centaurs, like the Callicantzari, came down the chimney. But the word
is possibly corrupt; for Ovid (_Met._ XII. 307) refers to an augur
Astylus among the Centaurs.

[660] Stories of their coming to cook frogs etc. at the hearths of men
occur, but only confirm the general belief that they have no fires of
their own at which to cook, and are in general afraid of fire.
