Schwegler, i. 354 foll.: the general result is given in _Lex._ s. v.
Evander, vol. 1. 1395. Evander himself = Faunus. It is possible that
there may be some basis of truth in the Arcadian legend: we await
further archaeological inquiry.
Footnote 1401:
See on Dec. 5; and _Lex._ s. v. Faunus, p. 1458.
Footnote 1402:
Serv. _Aen._ 2. 351. The whole passage is very interesting. See on
Dec. 21; and Bouché-Leclercq, _Pontifes_, 28 and 49.
Footnote 1403:
_Fasti_, 2. 282; Marq. 443.
Footnote 1404:
Plut. _Q. R._ 111; Gell. 10. 15; Arnob. 7. 21.
Footnote 1405:
_Rom._ 21: quoted above, p. 311. Val. Max. l. c. seems also to imply
it: ‘Facto sacrificio caesisque capris, epularum hilaritate ac vino
largiore provecti, divisa pastorali turba, cincti pellibus immolatarum
hostiarum, iocantes obvios petiverunt.’
Footnote 1406:
Even this point is not quite certain; but see Hartung, _Rel. der
Römer_, ii. 178, and Mannhardt, 78.
Footnote 1407:
Ox, sheep and pig were the usual victims; the dog was only offered to
Robigus (see on April 25), to the Lares Praestites and to Mana Geneta;
the goat only to Bacchus and Aesculapius, foreign deities (Marq. 172).
The goat-skin of Juno Sospita is certainly Greek: _Lex._ s. v. Iuno,
595. The goat was a special Hebrew _piaculum_ (Robertson Smith, 448;
cf. 453).
Footnote 1408:
Robertson Smith, 379.
Footnote 1409:
Ib. 381.
Footnote 1410:
_Rom._ 21 οἱ μὲν ᾐμαγμένῃ μαχαίρᾳ τοῦ μετώπου θιγγάνουσιν, ἕτεροι δ’
ἀπομάττουσιν εὐθὺς ἔριον βεβρεγμένον γάλακτι προσφέροντες. Γελᾶν δὲ
δεῖ τὰ μειρόκια μετὰ τὴν ἀπόμαξιν.
Footnote 1411:
So Schwegler. l. c. and reff. in Marq. 443 notes 11-13. Dion. Hal. (1.
32) compared the human sacrifice in the cult of Zeus Lycaeus in
Arcadia. See Farnell, _Cults_, i. 40 foll.
Footnote 1412:
We ought to have the whole _history_ of the Lupercalia if we are to
explain it rightly; it is impossible to guess through what stages and
changes it may have passed.
Footnote 1413:
4. 478 (quoted in a valuable section (23) of Hermann’s
_Gottesdienstliche Alterthümer der Griechen_).
Footnote 1414:
For examples of this idea see under Feb. 24 (Regifugium); Robertson
Smith, 286; Mannhardt, _Myth. Forsch._ 58 foll.
Footnote 1415:
It may indeed be misrepresented by Plutarch (who is the only writer
who mentions it), and may have been originally an ἀλολυγή. For the
confusion of mournful and joyful cries at a sacrifice see Robertson
Smith, 411.
Footnote 1416:
Robertson Smith notes (p. 396) that young men, or rather lads, occur
as sacrificers in Exodus xxiv. 5.
Footnote 1417:
p. 91 foll.
Footnote 1418:
