References

page 93 note 1 It is customarily given as a bare statement, as if self-evident. Cf. Mylonas, p. 308, and Nilsson, Gesch. i2. 599, and see my paper, ‘Early Greek Religion in the Light of the Decipherment of Linear B’, in B.I.C.S. vi 1959), 44. M.'s statement on pp. 51 f. that the two goddesses together are never assoand ciated with a child seems disproved by the scene on the hydria from Panticapaeum which he himself illustrates (fig. 85).

page 94 note 1 Cf. his p. 18 with 282 f. of my Greeks and their Gods, where, however, the evidence from the shape of the Telesterion must be modified in the light of M.'s later and superior knowledge.
