[149] See a paper by the author in _Classical Rev._ vol. x. (1896) p. 317, and references there given. Cp. the passage of Servius quoted above (_Aen._ i. 730), where a boy is described as announcing at the daily meal that the gods were propitious. For the purity necessary I may refer to Hor. _Odes_, iii. 23 _ad fin._, "Immunis aram si tetigit manus," etc. [150] _Primitive Culture_, i. 393. [151] The feminine counterpart of Genius was Juno, of which more will be said later on. Each woman had her Juno; but this "other-soul" has little importance as compared with Genius. [152] See J. B. Carter in Hastings' _Dict. of Religion and Ethics_, i. 462 foll. For Genius in general, Birt in _Myth. Lex._ s.v.; Wissowa, _R.K._ p. 154 foll.; Stewart, _Myths of Plato_, p. 450, for the connexion of souls with ancestry. [153] See the fifth of Plutarch's _Quaestiones Romanae_, and Dr. Jevons' interesting comments in his edition of Phil. Holland's translation, pp. xxii. and xxxv. foll. Cp. the throwing the fetters of a criminal out by the roof of the Flamen's house. [154] _Civ. Dei_, vi. 9. These are deities of the Indigitamenta; see below, p. 84. [155] De Marchi, _La Religione_, etc. i. 188 foll.; Marquardt, _Privatleben der Roemer_, p. 336, "la porte est la limite entre le monde etranger et le monde domestique" (A. van Gennep, _Rites de passage_, p. 26, where other illustrations are given). [156] See below, Lect. XII. p. 281. [157] Wissowa, _R.K._ p. 96; Aust, _Rel. der Roemer_, p. 117; Roscher in _Myth. Lex._ s.v. "Janus"; J. B. Carter, _Religion of Numa_, p. 13. Cp. Von Domaszewski in _Archiv_, 1907, p. 337. [158] Frazer, _Lectures on the Early History of Kingship_, p. 286 foll.; A. B. Cook in _Classical Review_, 1904, p. 367 foll. [159] _Gromat. vet._ i. 302, line 20 foll., describes the chapels, but without mentioning the Lares. Varro (_L.L._ vi. 25) supplies the name: "Compitalia dies attributus Laribus Compitalibus; ideo ubi viae competunt tum in competis sacrificatur." Cp. Wissowa, _R.K._ p. 148. But the nature of the land thus marked off is not clear to me, nor explained (for primitive times) by Wissowa in _Real-Encycl._, _s.vv._ "Compitum" and "Compitalia." [160] "Enos Lases juvate." See Henzen, _Acta Fratr. Arv._ p. 26 foll. [161] Cato, _R.R._ 5. Cp. Dion. Hal. iv. 13. 2. In Cato 143 the vilica is to put a wreath on the focus on Kalends, Nones and Ides, and to pray to the Lar familiaris pro copia (at the compita?). [162] Marquardt, _Privatleben_, p. 172.
