_De Pythiae oraculis_, c. XII., and compare the pseudo-Plutarch, _De vita et poësi Homeri_, c. CIV. Footnote 282: So says Yalḳûṭ. Shôchêr Ṭôbh has the reading Akramânia, which is difficult of identification (Germania?). Footnote 283: Yalḳûṭ and Shôchêr Ṭôbh on Ps. XIX. 7. Footnote 284: _Ursprung der Mythologie_, p. 273. Footnote 285: See p. 15. Footnote 286: Compare Eckhel, _Doctrina Nummorum veterum_, V. 15. Footnote 287: _Die Religion der Römer_, Erlangen 1836, II. 218. Compare Mommsen, _History of Rome_ (translation), I. 185, ed. of 1868. Footnote 288: Fr. Lenormant, _Les premières civilisations_, Paris 1874, II. 29–31. Footnote 289: It is well known that the story of Jonah was long ago connected with the myth of Herakles and Hesione, or that of Perseus and Andromeda (Bleek, _Einleitung ins A. T._, Berlin 1870, p. 577). Tylor, _Primitive Culture_, I. 306, should also be consulted. What Emil Burnouf says in his _La Science des Religions_, Paris 1872, p. 263, is quite untenable; he finds in the myth ‘un image de la naissance du feu divin et de la vie dont il est le principe.’ Footnote 290: Nonnus, _Dionysiaca_ XL. 443; Movers, _Religion der Phönizier_, p. 394. Footnote 291: Aesch., _Prom._, vv. 505, 467, Dind. I must also refer to Tangaloa, the chief figure in the Polynesian mythology, who is described as the first navigator. This characteristic, and the fact that Tangaloa is regarded as the originator of every handicraft (see the chapter on the Myth of Civilisation), with other features on which Schirren lays stress in determining his nature, seem to claim for him a solar character. Gerland (_Anthropologie der Naturvölker_, VI. 242) disputes this interpretation.

Footnote 298: Gerland, _Anthropologie der Naturvölker_, VI. 242. Footnote 299: ‘Wimpern der Morgenröthe,’ and so Ewald translates aphʿappayim in Job, i.e. eyelashes, _eyelids_ being ‘Augenlieder.’ Yet Gesenius understands the word as _palpebrae_, i.e. eyelids (though both this word and _cilium_ are occasionally used indiscriminately in either sense). Βλέφαρον is only ‘eyelid;’ the Arabic ḥawâjib is only ‘eyelash.’—TR. Footnote 300:
