See Boll, _Sphaera_ (_passim_), and his note on the lists of animals assigned to the planets, in Roscher, _Lexikon Myth._, s. v. "Planeten," III, col. 2534; cf. _Die Erforsch. der Astrologie_, p. 110, n. 3. 31. _Cat._, V, 1, pp. 210 ff. 32. Cf. _supra_, ch. V. pp. 128 ff. 33. Cf. _supra_, ch. V, n. 87. 34. On worship of the sky, of the signs of the zodiac, and of the elements, cf. _Mon. myst. Mithra_, I, pp. 85 ff., 98 ff., 108 ff. 35. The magico-religious notion of sanctity, of _mana_, appeared in the idea and notation of time. This has been shown by Hubert in his profound analysis of _La representation du temps dans la religion et la magie_ (_Progr. ec. des Hautes-Etudes_), 1905 = _Melanges hist. des rel._, Paris, 1909, p. 190. 36. On the worship of Time see _Mon. myst. Mithra_, I, pp. 20, {274} 74 ff.; of the seasons: _ibid._, pp. 92 ff. There is no doubt that the veneration of time and its subdivisions (seasons, months, days, etc.) spread through the influence of astrology. Zeno had deified them; see Cicero, _Nat. D._, II, 63 (= von Arnim, fr. 165): "Astris hod idem (i. e. vim divinam) tribuit, tum annis, mensibus, annorumque mutationibus." In conformity with the materialism of the Stoics these subdivisions of time were conceived by him as bodies (von Arnim, _loc. cit._, II, fr. 665; cf. Zeller, _Ph. Gr._, IV, p. 316, p. 221). The later texts have been collected by Drexler in Roscher, _Lexikon_, s. v. "Men," II, col. 2689. See also Ambrosiaster, _Comm. in epist. Galat._, IV, 10 (Migne, col. 381 B). Egypt had worshiped the hours, the months, and the propitious and adverse years as gods long before the Occident; see Wiedemann, _loc. cit._ (_infra_, n. 64) pp. 7 ff. 37. They adorn many astronomical manuscripts, particularly the _Vaticanus gr._ 1291, the archetype of which dates back to the third century of our era; cf. Boll, _Sitzungsb. Akad. Muenchen_, 1899, pp. 125 ff., 136 ff. 38. Piper, _Mythologie der christl. Kunst_, 1851, II, pp. 313 f. Cf. _Mon. myst. Mithra_, I, p. 220. 39.
