1079 Arnobius, _Adv. nationes_, v. 19. Cp. Suidas, _s.v._ αἰγίζειν. As fawns appear to have been also torn in pieces at the rites of Dionysus (Photius, _s.v._ νεβρίζειν; Harpocration, _s.v._ νεβρίζων), it is probable that the fawn was another of the god’s embodiments. But of this there seems no direct evidence. Fawn-skins were worn both by the god and his worshippers (Cornutus, _De natura deorum_, c. 30). Similarly the female Bacchanals wore goat-skins (Hesychius, _s.v._ τραγηφόροι). 1080 Varro, _De re rustica_ i. 2, 19; Virgil, _Georg._ ii. 380, and Servius, _ad I._, and on _Aen._ iii. 118; Ovid, _Fasti_, i. 353 _sqq._; _id._, Metam. xv. 114 _sq._; Cornutus, _De natura deorum_, 30. 1081 Euripides, _Bacchae_, 138 _sq._ ἀγρεύων αἷμα τραγοκτόνον, ὡμοφάγον χάριν. 1082 Schol. on Aristophanes, _Frogs_, 357. 1083 Hera αἱγοφάγος at Sparta, Pausanias, iii. 15, 9 (cp. the representation of Hera clad in a goat’s skin, with the animal’s head and horns over her head, Müller-Wieseler, _Denkmäler der alten Kunst_, i. No. 299 B); Apollo ὁψοφάγος at Elis, Athenaeus, 346 B; Artemis καπροφάγος in Samos, Hesychius, _s.v._ καπροφάγος; cp. _id._, _s.v._ κριοφάγος. Divine titles derived from _killing_ animals are probably to be similarly explained, as Dionysus αἱγόβολος, Pausanias ix. 8, 2; Rhea or Hecate κυνοσφαγής, Tzetzes, _Schol. in Lycophr._ 77; Apollo λυκοκτόνος, Sophocles, _Electra_, 6; Apollo σαυροκτόνος, Pliny, _Nat. Hist._ xxxiv. 70. 1084 Porphyry, _De abstin._ ii. 55. 1085 Pausanias, ix. 8, 2. 1086 Plutarch, _Quaest. Graec._ 38. 1087 Aelian, _Nat. An._ xii. 34. Cp. W. Robertson Smith, _Religion of the Semites_, i. 286 _sqq._ 1088 It is to be remembered that on the Mediterranean coasts the harvest never falls so late as autumn. 1089 On Demeter as a corn-goddess see Mannhardt, _Mythologische Forschungen_, p. 224 _sqq._; on Proserpine in the same character see Cornutus, _De nat. deor._ c. 28; Varro in Augustine, _Civ. Dei_, vii. 20; Hesychius, _s.v._ Φερσεφόνεια; Firmicus Maternus, _De errore prof. relig._ 17. In his careful account of Demeter as a corn-goddess Mannhardt appears to have overlooked the very important statement of Hippolytus (_Refut. omn. haeres._ v. 8, p. 162, ed. Duncker and Schneidewin) that at the initiation into the Eleusinian mysteries (the most famous of all the rites of Demeter) the central mystery revealed to the initiated was a reaped ear of corn. 1090 Welcker, _Griechische Götterlehre_, ii. 532; Preller, in Pauly’s _Real-Encyclopädie für class.
