[68] I have given the story in the form in which I heard it told by a peasant on board a boat in the Euripus. He was a native, I think, of Euboea, and being uneducated probably knew the story by oral tradition. A slightly longer form has, however, been published by Hahn (_Griech. Märchen_, vol. II. no. 76) and by Πολίτης (Μελέτη ἐπὶ τοῦ βίου τῶν νεωτέρων Ἑλλήνων, p. 43). [69] Καμπούρογλου, Ἱστ. τῶν Ἀθ. _III_. p. 164. [70] Bent, _The Cyclades_, p. 457. [71] See below, pp. 169 f. [72] I am unable to determine whether this saint is the prophet Elijah of the Old Testament, or a Christian hermit of the fourth century. The Greeks themselves differ in their accounts. [73] Maury, in _Revue Archéologique_, I. p. 502. [74] According to Pouqueville (_Voyage de la Grèce_, II. p. 170) the _rosalia_ was formerly celebrated both at Parga in Epirus and Palermo in Sicily. The festival at Athens falls on Easter Tuesday, and a large number of peasants come in from the country to attend it. [75] Clem. Alex. _Protrept._ § 30. [76] See J. M. Neale, _History of the Holy Eastern Church_, p. 1042. [77] See below, pp. 66 ff. [78] Καμπόυρογλου, Ἱστ. τῶν Ἀθ. III. p. 160. [79] _The Cyclades_, p. 319. [80] B. Schmidt, _Das Volksleben der Neugriechen_, p. 28. [81] _Travels in Crete_, vol. I. p. 250. [82] Schmidt (_Volksleben der Neugr._ p. 31) records also the phrase κατουράει ὁ θεός, parallel with Strepsiades’ joke (Ar. _Nub._ 373) πρότερον τὸν Δί’ ἀληθῶς ᾤμην διὰ κοσκίνου οὐρεῖν. [83] The word is extremely rare, but ῥεμμόνι, I was told, is a coarse kind of sieve. The expression is from Boeotia. [84] From Arachova on Parnassus, Schmidt, _Das Volksleben der Neugr._ p. 33. [85] From Cyprus. [86] From Zacynthos, Schmidt, _op. cit._ p. 32. [87] From the island of Syme, near Rhodes. [88] There is a good discussion of them by Πολίτης in Παρνασσός for 1880, pp. 585-608, 665-678, 762-773, from which some of my examples are taken. I have noted the _provenance_ of the rarer expressions. [89] Passow, _Pop. Carm., Distich. Amat. 242_, quoted by Schmidt (_op. cit._ p. 30), who notes the Homeric parallel.

[96] There is some likelihood that the title καπνικαρέα is a mere corruption of an older title which had a quite different meaning; but I am concerned only with the existing title as popularly interpreted.
