_Journal of Hellenic Studies_, vol. xiii. 73. Professor Gardner is
inclined to consider the myth as Phoenician rather than Greek, and
attached to the Phoenician Melcarth = Herakles. The vase is in the
Ashmolean Museum, and was found by the Keeper, Mr. Arthur Evans.

_Mon. dell’ Inst._ v. 25. But the character of the vase is archaic
Ionian, as Prof. Gardner tells me; _Lex._ 2275.

The day of the festival at Aricia is thought to have been also Aug. 13
(_Lex._ s. v. Diana, 1006).

Beloch, _Italischer Bund_, 180; Cato (ap. Priscian, 7. 337, ed.
Jordan, p. 41) gives the names of the towns united in and by the
Arician cult—Aricia, Tusculum, Lanuvium, Laurentum, Cora, Tibur,
Pometia, Ardea.

Footnote 836:
So Liv. l. c.: other temples of Diana had deers’ horns, according to
Plutarch, _Q. R._ 4. The cow was Diana’s favourite victim (Marq. 361);
but we cannot be sure that this was not a feature borrowed from the
cult of Artemis (Farnell, _Greek Cults_, ii. 592).
Footnote 837:
The passages from Livy quoted by Steuding (_Lex._ 1008) are hardly to
the point, as the cult is not mentioned in them.

_Lex._ 1007. The excavations at Nemi have produced several votive
offerings in terra cotta of women with children in their arms. Cp.
Ovid, _Fasti_, 3. 269. Plutarch tells us (_Q. R._ 3) that men were
excluded from a shrine of Diana in the Vicus Patricius; but of this
nothing further is known.

reclaiming of Diana from the woodland to the homestead is curiously
illustrated by an inscription from Aricia (Wilmanns, _Exempla_, 1767)
in which she is identified with Vesta.
