proceed in worship, turning their attention to (1) the momentary incidents of weather, rain, sunshine, thunder, &c.; (2) the Moon; (3) the Sun and stars, see Payne, _History of the New World called America_, vol. i, p. 474, cited by Miss Harrison, _Themis_, p. 390. [31:1] On the subject of Initiations see Webster, _Primitive Secret Societies_, New York, 1908; Schurtz, _Altersklassen und Maennerbunde_, Berlin, 1902; Van Gennep, _Rites de Passage_, Paris, 1909; Nilsson, _Grundlage des Spartanischen Lebens_ in Klio xii (1912), pp. 308-40; Themis, p. 337, n. 1. Since the above, Rivers, _Social Organization_, 1924. [31:2] Cf. Dr. Rivers on _mate_, 'Primitive Conception of Death', _Hibbert Journal_, January 1912, p. 393. [31:3] Cf. Cardinal Virtues, Pindar, _Nem._ iii. 72: +en paisi neoisi pais, en andrasin aner, triton en palaiteroisi meros, hekaston hoion echomen broteon ethnos. ela de kai tessaras aretas ho thnatos aion,+ also Pindar, _Pyth._ iv. 281. [32:1] See Woodward in _B. S. A._ xiv, 83. Nikagoras won four (successive?) victories as +mikkichizomenos+, +propais+, +pais+, and +melleiren+, i. e. from his tenth to fifteenth year. He would then at 14 or 15 become an _iran_. Plut. _Lyc._ 17 gives the age of an _iran_ as 20. This agrees with the age of an +ephebos+ at Athens as '15-20', '14-21', 'about 16'; see authorities in Stephanus s. v. +ephebos+. Such variations in the date of 'puberty ceremonies' are common. [32:2] See _Rise of the Greek Epic_, Appendix on Hym. Dem.; and W. R. Halliday, _C. R._ xxv, 8. Nilsson's valuable article has appeared since the above was written (see note 1, p. 31). [33:1] Anaximander apud Simplic. phys. 24, 13; Diels, _Fragmente der Vorsokratiker_, i. 13. See especially F. M. Cornford, _From Religion to Philosophy_ (Cambridge, 1912), i; also my article on English and Greek Tragedy in _Essays of the Oxford English School_, 1912. This explanation of the +tritos soter+ is my conjecture. [33:2] 1 Cor. xv. 36; Rom. vi. generally, 3-11. [34:1] _Il._ M. 326 f. +myriai, has ouk esti phygein broton oud' hypalyxai.+ [34:2] Frg. Ap. Plut. _Consol. ad Apoll._ xxvi . . . +hoti "pleie men gaia kakon pleie de thalassa" kai "toiade thnetoisi kaka kakon amphi te keres eileuntai, kenee d' eisdysis oud' atheri"+ (MS. +aitheri+). [35:1] Frazer, _Lectures on the Early History of the Kingship_, 267; F. Cumont, 'Les Actes de S. Dasius', in _Analecta Bollandiana_, xvi.
