Thus in the so-called feasts of the dead in ancient times the Hero is represented on a throne while later he reclines on the ~kli/nê~. Thus in Rome besides _lectisternia_ we sometimes have _sellisternia_ especially for female deities: _Comm. Lud. Saec._, l. 71; 101; 138 [Dessau, ii, 1, p. 282; _CIL._ vi, 32] and elsewhere.] [27\3: Acc. to Ennius, _Euh._ 73 Vahl. (ap. Lactant. i, 11, and ap. Min. Fel. xxi, 1) Euhemeros spoke of the grave of Zeus. Call., _h. Jov._ 8-9, clearly attacks the fable of Zeus' grave in Crete. It seems to me very probable that Euh. had taken up the story as one that evidently suited his cheap pragmatical interpretation of myths and had introduced it into literature. It would be Euh. then whom Call., loc. cit., was attacking as he did elsewhere the ~ge/rôn alazô/n~ and his ~a/dika bibli/a~ (_fr._ 86).] [28\3: The grave of Zeus in Crete is spoken of without exact specification of the place by Call., loc. cit., Cic., _ND._ iii, 53; D.S. 3, 61, 2; Mela ii, 112; Luc., _Tim._ 6, _J. Tr._ 45, _Sacr._ 10, _D. Conc._ 6; Min. xxi, 8; Firm., _Err. Prof. Rel._ vii, 6. Euhemeros ap. Min. xxi, 1, speaks of the _Dictæi Iovis sepulcrum_ obviously inexactly, for acc. to Lact. i, 11, he made the grave in oppido Cnosso far from Mt. Dicte. Even there he means not "in" but "near" Knossos, i.e. on Mt. Ida. For the fact that it was on Mt. Ida we have the testimony of Varro _de litoralibus_ ap. Solin. 11, p. 81, 12-15 Momms. Finally, the situation of the grave within the Idaian cave is clear from Porph., _VP._ 17, p. 25 N.] [29\3: Hence the story of the grave of Zeus (when not denied outright as by Call.) was allegorized; Celsus hinted at ~tropika\s huponoi/as~: Or., _Cels._ iii, 43, p. 307 L.; cf. Philostr., _VS._ p. 76, 15 ff. K.] {110} [30\3: Examples are frequent in the mythology of Oriental, and generally but not exclusively Semitic peoples. It is generally "Kronos" who is buried (cf. Mayer, _Myth. Lex._ ii, 1487 ff.); at other times Astarte, Adonis, the Phrygian Attis, "Herakles," and others. Cf. also the stories of the Heroes sleeping eternally in Sardinia (_Rh. Mus._ 35, 157 ff.; 37, 465 ff.); and of Kragos and the other ~a/grioi theoi/~ (or ~theoi\ agrei=s~? _JHS._ 10, 57, 55) who "were made immortal" on Mt. Kragos in Lykia (St. Byz. ~Kra/gos~): they, too, were thought of as sleeping, and not "dead", as Eust. on D.P. 847 expresses it.]
