1 I give, in a review of this book in J.H.S. (forthcoming), some instances of herexegetic weakness. Several could be added; one may be cited here as a rather glaring example. On p. 42 and elsewhere she quotes the notice of Suidas, s.v. Βονόνιαφ, which says that that festival took place μετὰ τὰ μυστήρια It is the inane remark of some sciolist, about equivalent to saying that Christmas comes after Easter; but to her it means that the Buphonia were ‘mit Mysterien begangen’, and she returns more than once to this impossible position and founds a part of her argument on it.
