[741] Lucian, _Philopseudes_, cap. XXXII. Zenobius, _Cent._ II. 1. The same punishment is in one story inflicted by a Callicantzaros on a midwife who had deceived him into believing that his newborn child was male. After sending her away with a sackful of gold, he discovered her deceit, and on her arrival at home the gold had turned to ashes. See above, p. 199. [742] Ἀδαμάντιος Ἰ. Ἀδαμαντίου, Τηνιακά (published first in Δελτίον τῆς Ἱστορ. καὶ Ἐθνολ. Ἑταιρίας τῆς Ἑλλάδος, Vol. V. pp. 277 sqq.). [743] For the first half of this story, see above, p. 183. [744] ἀθάνατο νερό, _op. cit._ pp. 299 and 315. [745] e.g. ἀθάνατα μῆλα, ‘immortal apples,’ _op. cit._ pp. 311 and 316. ἀθάνατο καρποῦζι, ‘immortal water-melon,’ pp. 297 and 315. ἀθάνατο γαροῦφαλο, ‘immortal gilly-flower,’ p. 317. The translation of this last is correctly that which I have given, but the peasants all over Greece will call almost any bright and scented flower by this same name. [746] See above, p. 137. [747] Cf. above, pp. 143-4. [748] _Glossar. med. et infim. Graecitatis_ (p. 1541), s.v. τελώνιον. [749] _Ibid._, Damasc. Hierodiac. _Serm._ 3. [750] _Ibid._, Maximus Cythaer. Episc.

The word might possibly mean ‘he has had his shadow trampled on,’ and has been hurt indirectly through an injury inflicted upon his shadow-_genius_. [776] Hom. _Il._ XXIII. 79.

[782] I do not of course wish to imply that in the every-day usage of these words the thought of a guardian-_genius_ was present to men’s minds; but the first formation of them can only have sprung from this belief.
