passages
which show a verbal use of earlier documents (like the Bellerophon
passage, _R. G. E._,{3} pp. 175 ff.) cannot have been put in before the
Athenian period.
[49:2] In his _Zeus, the Indo-European Sky-God_ (1914, 1924). See _R. G.
E._,{3} pp. 40 ff.
[50:1] A somewhat similar change occurred in Othin, though he always
retains more of the crooked wizard.

pp. 277 ff.; Gomperz, _Greek Thinkers_, ii. 6-8.
[50:3] Farnell, _Cults_, iv. 100-4. See, however, Gruppe, p. 107 f.
[51:1] _Hymn. Ap._ init. Cf. Wilamowitz's Oxford Lecture on 'Apollo'
(Oxford, 1907).
[51:2] _Themis_, p. 439 f. Cf. +ho Agoraios+. Other explanations of the
name in Gruppe, p. 1224 f., notes.
[51:3] Hdt. i. 147; Plato, _Euthyd._ 302 c: _Socrates_. 'No Ionian
recognizes a Zeus Patroos; Apollo is our Patroos, because he was father
of Ion.'

thunderstorm-goddess'.

Cf. Pind. _Ol._ vii. 35; Ov. _Metam._ ix. 421; xv. 191, 700, &c.
[53:1] As to the name, +Athenaia+ is of course simply 'Athenian'; the
shorter and apparently original form +Athana+, +Athene+ is not so clear,
but it seems most likely to mean 'Attic'. Cf. Meister, _Gr. Dial._ ii.
290. He classes under the head of Oertliche Bestimmungen: +ha theos ha
Paphia+ (Collitz and Bechtel, _Sammlung der griechischen
Dialekt-Inschriften_, 2, 3, 14{a}, {b}, 15, 16). 'In Paphos selbst hiess
die Goettin nur +ha theos+ oder +ha wanassa;--ha thios ha Golgia+
(61)--+ha thios ha Athana ha per Edalion+ (60, 27, 28), 'die Goettin, die
Athenische, die ueber Edalion (waltet)'; '+Ath-ana+ ist, wie J. Baunack
(_Studia Nicolaitana_, s. 27) gezeigt hat, das Adjectiv zu (*+Ass-is+
'Seeland'): +Att-is+; +Atth-is+; *+Ath-is+; also +Ath-ana+ = +Att-ike+,
+Ath-enai+ urspruenglich +Ath-enai komai+.' Other derivations in Gruppe,
p. 1194. Or again +hai Athenai+ may be simply 'the place where the
Athenas are', like +hoi ichthyes+, the fish-market; 'the Athenas' would
be statues, like +hoi Hermai+--the famous 'Attic Maidens' on the
Acropolis. This explanation would lead to some interesting results.
We need not here consider how, partly by identification with other
Korae, like Pallas, Onka, &c., partly by a genuine spread of the cult,
Athena became prominent in other cities. As to Homer, Athena is far mo
