The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 02 of 12)
Frazer, James George
Magic; Mythology; Religion; Superstition
Apollodorus, i. 9. 7; Virgil, _Aen._ vi. 592 _sqq._; Pliny, _Nat.
Hist._ ii. 140, xxviii. 14 (referring to the first book of L. Piso’s
_Annals_); Livy, i. 31. 8; Aurelius Victor, _De viris illustribus_, 4;
Zonaras, _Annal._ vii. 6. According to another account Tullus
Hostilius was murdered by his successor Ancus Martius during a violent
storm (Dionysius Halicarnasensis, _Antiquit. Rom._ iii. 35; Zonaras,
_l.c._).
Footnote 584:
Livy, i. 2. 6; Ovid, _Metam._ xiv. 598-608; Pliny, _Nat. Hist._ iii.
56; Dionysius Halicarnasensis, _Antiquit. Rom._ i. 64; Servius on
Virgil, _Aen._ i. 259; Aurelius Victor, _Origo gentis Romanae_, 14.
Only the last writer mentions the thunderstorm.
Footnote 585:
Livy, i. 16; Cicero, _De legibus_, i. 1. 3; _id._, _De re publica_, i.
16. 25, ii. 10. 20; Ovid, _Fasti_, ii. 475-512; Plutarch, _Romulus_,
27 _sq._; Dionysius Halicarnasensis, _Antiquit. Rom._ ii. 56 and 63;
Zonaras, _Annal._ vii. 4; Aurelius Victor, _De viris illustribus_, 2;
Florus, _Epitoma_, i. 1. 16-18. From Cicero (_De legibus_, i. 1. 3) we
learn that the apparition of Romulus to Proculus Julius took place
near the spot where the house of Atticus afterwards stood, and from
Cornelius Nepos (_Atticus_, 13. 2) we know that Atticus had an
agreeable villa and shady garden on the Quirinal. As to the temple of
Quirinus see also Varro, _De lingua Latina_, v. 51; Festus, pp. 254,
255, ed. C. O. Müller; Pliny, _Nat. Hist._ xv. 120. As to the site of
the temple and the question whether it was identical with the temple
dedicated by L. Papirius Cursor in 293 B.C. (Livy, x. 46. 7; Pliny,
_Nat. Hist._ vii. 213) see O. Richter, _Topographie der Stadt Rom_,
2nd Ed., pp. 286 _sqq._; G. Wissowa, _Gesammelte Abhandlungen_
(Munich, 1904), pp. 144 _sqq._
Footnote 586:
See A. B. Cook, “Zeus, Jupiter, and the Oak,” _Classical Review_,
xviii. (1904) pp. 368 _sq._; _id._ “The European Sky-god,”
_Folk-lore_, xvi. (1905) p. 281. But a serious argument against the
proposed derivation of Quirinus from _quercus_ is that, as I am
informed by my learned philological friend the Rev. Prof. J. H.
Moulton, it is inconsistent with the much more probable derivation of
Perkunas from _quercus_. See below, p. 367, note 3.
Footnote 587:
See above, vol. i. pp. 262 _sqq._
