referred to by a circumlocution (cf. Erinyes and spirits of the dead, _Rh. Mus._ 50, 20, 3): cf. Ant. Lib. 13, p. 214, 19 W. This was perhaps why Narkissos was called ~hê/rôs sigêlo/s~, Str. 404. On the other hand, it was a special form of respect, at the sacrifice to a Hero, to call out his _name_: ~tô=| Artachai/ê| thu/ousi Aka/nthioi ek theopropi/ou hôs hê/rôï epounoma/zontes to\ ou/noma~, Hdt. vii, 117. ~Hu/la| thu/ousin kai\ auto\n ex ono/matos eis tri\s ho hiereu\s phônei= ktl.~ Anton. Lib. 26 fin. Cf. Paus. 8, 26, 7; ~epikalou/menoi to\n Mui/agron~.--No one will miss the obvious analogy with the worship of the gods. In many places in Greece nameless (or merely "adjectival") gods were worshipped, ~a/gnôstoi theoi/~, as at Olympia, Paus. 5, 14, 8, and elsewhere. At Phaleron ~bômoi\ theô=n te onomazome/nôn agnô/stôn kai\ hêrô/ôn~ (sc., ~agnô/stôn~?) Paus. 1, 1, 4. (~agnô=tes theoi\~ Poll. viii, 119. Hesych. s.v.: ~bômoi\ anô/numoi~ in Attica D.L. i, 110.)] [63\4: ~Tlapole/mô| archage/ta|~ Pi., _O._ vii, 78; _P._ v, 56. The regular custom is mentioned by Ephorus ap. Str. 366: ~oud' archêge/tas nomisthê=nai; ho/per pa=sin apodi/dotai oikistai=s~.] [64\4: ~Dêmoklei/dên de\ katastê=sai tê\n apoiki/an _autokra/tora_~. Official decree about Brea: _CIA._ i, 31 [Hicks and Hill^2, n. 41, l. 8].] [65\4: Pi., _P._ v, 87 ff.] [66\4: Hdt. vi, 38.] [67\4: D.S. 11, 66, 4.] [68\4: Hdt. i, 168.] [69\4: Thuc. v, 11.--Thus in the fourth century at Sikyon Euphron the leader of the demos has been murdered by some of the other party, but ~hoi poli=tai autou= hôs a/ndra agatho\n komisa/menoi e/thapsa/n te en tê=| agora=| kai\ hôs archêge/tên tê=s po/leôs se/bontai~, Xen., _HG._ 7, 4, 12.] [70\4: Worship of the law-givers of Tegea as Heroes: Paus. 8, 48, 1.] [71\4: In the case of Sophokles the "heroizing" had a special superstitious reason. He had once received Asklepios as a guest into his house (and established a worship of A.) and was therefore regarded as especially favoured by heaven and after his death worshipped as Hero ~Dexi/ôn~: _EM._ 256, 7-13. (In the temple of Amynos, an Asklepiad daimon, on the west of the Akropolis an honorific decree dating from the end of the fourth century B.C. has been discovered, referring to the ~orgeô=nes tou= _Dexi/ônos_~ together with those of Amynos and Asklepios: _Ath. Mitt._ 1896, p. 299.) In this way many mortals who had entertained the gods as guests were themselves made Heroes, cf. Deneken, _de Theoxen._ c, ii.] [72\4: In the examples collected in n. 35 above the removal of the Hero's bones was in each case commanded by the Delphic oracle. Typical examples of the foundation of an annual festival of a Hero on {149} the recommendation of an oracle: Hdt. i, 167; Paus. 8, 23, 7; 9, 38, 5.]
