The most ancient kind were called _Hermata_, of which mention occurs both in the Iliad and the Odyssey.[193] They were usually adorned with three emerald drops,[194] for which reason they were by the Athenians denominated _Triopia_ or _Triopides_,[195] and by the other Greeks _Triopthalma_ or “the triple eye.” By this word, as an ancient grammarian informs us, some understood an animal like the beetle, supposed to have three eyes, whence a necklace with three hyaline or crystal eyes, depending from it in front, was likewise called by the same name. Pollux[196] supposed the earrings of Hera to have been adorned with three diminutive figures in precious stones, or gold, probably of goddesses. The _Diopos_ seems to have been an earring with two drops. The _Helix_ appears in Homer[197] rather to mean an earring than an armlet, and to have received its name from its circular shape or curvature; but the spiral gold rings round the walking-stick of Parrhasios are also called _Helices_ by Athenæus.[198] Another name for this sort of earring was _Heliktes_.[199] In the Æolic dialect earrings were called _Siglai_, in the Doric _Artiala_. A particular kind denominated _Enclastridia_ and _Strobelia_, by the comic poets, had gold drops in the form of a pine cone.[200] Two very curious kinds of earrings were the _Caryatides_, and the _Hippocampia_, the former representing in miniature the architectural figures, so called, the latter little horses with tails ending in a fish. There were earrings, likewise, with drops in the forms of centaurs and other fantastic creations.[201] ----- Footnote 193: Il. ξ. 182. Odys. σ. 296. Ælian. Var. Hist. i. 18. Footnote 194: Fabri.
