Val. Max. l. c. and Silvius’ _Calendar_.
Footnote 1381:
Ovid, _Fasti_, 2. 623,
Innocui veniant: procul hinc, procul impius esto
Frater, et in partus mater acerba suos.
Footnote 1382:
Ovid, _Fasti_, 2. 633-634. On such occasions the Lares were clothed in
tunics girt at the loins; see a figure of a Lar on an altar from Caere
in Baumeister, _Denkmäler_, vol. i. p. 77.
Footnote 1383:
_Fasti_, 2. 571 foll.
Footnote 1384:
Line 583. See Wissowa in _Lex._ s. v. Dea Muta.
Footnote 1385:
See e. g. Crooke, _Folklore of Northern India_, ch. 5 (the Black Art),
and especially pp. 264 foll.
Footnote 1386:
See e. g. Leland, _Etruscan Roman remains in popular legend_, pp. 3
and 195 foll.
Footnote 1387:
The chief attempts are those of Unger, in _Rhein. Mus._, 1881, p. 50,
and Mannhardt in his _Mythologische Forschungen_, pp. 72-155. The
former is ingenious, but unsatisfactory in many ways; the latter
conscientious, and valuable as a study in folk-lore, whether its
immediate conclusions be right or wrong. See also Schwegler, _R. G._
i. 356 foll.; Preller, i. 387 foll.; and article s. v. in _Dict. of
Antiquities_ (2nd edition); Marq. 442 foll. The ancient authorities
are Dion. Hal. 1. 32. 5, 79, 80; Ovid, _Fasti_, 2. 267 foll.;
Plutarch, _Caes._ 61, _Rom._ 21; Val. Max. 2. 2. 9; Propert. 5. (4.)
1. 26; and many other passages which will be referred to when
necessary.
Footnote 1388:
Dion. Hal. 1. 32. 5.
Footnote 1389:
Jordan, _Kritische Beiträge_, 164 foll. Unger’s attempt, after Serv.
_Aen._ 8. 343. to derive the word from _luo_ (‘to purify’) is
generally rejected.
Footnote 1390:
Wissowa, _Lex._ (s. v. Lupercus) takes the latter view, but rightly,
as I think, rejects the deity.
Footnote 1391:
Virg. _Aen._ 8. 630 ‘Mavortis in antro.’ Roscher, in _Lex._ s. v.
Mars, 2388; Preller, i. 334.
Footnote 1392:
Plut. _Rom_. 21. After mentioning the goats, he says, ἴδιον δὲ τῆς
ἑορτῆς τὸ καὶ κύνα θύειν τοὺς Δουπέρκους (cp. _Q. R._ iii).
Footnote 1393:
Marq. 165. See above, p. 110.
Footnote 1394:
So Val. Max. l.c. From Ovid’s version of the aetiological story of
Romulus and Remus (_Fasti_, 2. 371 foll.) we might infer that the
feasting took place after the running.
Footnote 1395:
‘Cornipedi Fauno caesa de more capella’ (_Fasti_, 2. 361). Cp. 5. 101.
So Plut. _Rom._ l. c.
Footnote 1396:
Livy, 1. 5. Unger (p. 71 foll.) has much to say about Inuus in the
worst style of German pseudo-research. See _Lex._ s. v. (Steuding).
Footnote 1397:
Schwegler, i. 351 foll.; Justin, 43. 1. I had long ago arrived at this
conclusion, and was glad to see it sanctioned by Wissowa in _Lex._ s.
v. Lupercus.
Footnote 1398:
_Aen._ 8. 343: the only reason given is that the goat was Liber’s
victim.
Footnote 1399:
Arnobius, 2. 23. See Mannhardt, 85; Huschke, _Röm. Jahr_, 12.
