to E. B. Tylor_); Fowler, _Roman Festivals_, pp. 190 f., 341; Frazer, _Adonis Attis Osiris_, p. 169 ff. [1199] Cf. above, Sec. 679, note. [1200] Not all of these had public cults. [1201] See articles in Roscher's _Lexicon_ ("Eros," "Moira," and similar terms); on Phoibos, cf. L. Deubner, in _Athenische Mittheilungen_, 1903. [1202] Cicero, _De Natura Deorum_, ii, 25. [1203] Hopkins, _Religions of India_, p. 135 f.; Bloomfield, _Religion of the Veda_, pp. 191, 243 ff.; Macdonell, _Vedic Mythology_, p. 115 ff. [1204] Spiegel, _Eranische Alterthumskunde_, ii, 34 ff.; A. V. Williams Jackson, _Iranische Religion_ (in Geiger and Kuhn's _Grundriss der iranischen Philologie_, ii, 637). [1205] The six are: Vohumanah (Good Thought or Good Mind), Khshathra Vairya (Best or Wished-for Righteous Realm or Law), Spenta Armaiti (Holy Harmony), Asha Vahista (Perfect Righteousness or Piety), Haurvatat (Well-being), Ameretat (Immortality). [1206] On these and certain minor divinized conceptions of time see Spiegel, op. cit., ii, 4-17. On the Hindu personification of time see Bloomfield, _Religion of the Veda_, p. 244 ff. In these and similar cases time, containing all things, is conceived of as the producer of all things, and the line between personification and hypostatization is not always clearly defined. For the influence of astrology on the deification of time, see Cumont, _Les religions orientates parmi les peuples romains_, chap. vii (on astrology and magic), p. 212 f., paragraph on new deities, and notes thereto. Hubert, "La representation du temps dans la religion et la magie" (in _Melanges de l'histoire des religions_), p. 190, distinguishes between the notation of favorable and unfavorable times (and the nonchronological character of mythical histories) and the calendar, which counts moments continuously. [1207] On a supposed relation between the Amesha-spentas and the Vedic Adityas see Roth, in _Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenlaendischen Gesellschaft_, vi, 69 f.; Macdonell, _Vedic Mythology_, p. 44; Bloomfield, _Religion of the Veda_, p. 134 f. Cf. also L. H. Gray (on the derivation of the Amshaspands from material gods), in _Archiv fuer Religionswissenschaft_, vii (1904), 345. [1208] Cf. J. B. Carter, _De Deorum Romanorum Cognominibus_. [1209] Cf. Boissier, _La religion romaine_, i, 9. [1210] Cf. Farnel
