Note 443 — Chapter IX · MYTHOLOGY (continued).
Reading edition
Tzetzes ap. Lycophron, Cassandra, 33. As to connexion with Joppa and Phœnicia, see Plin. v. 14; ix. 4; Mela, i. 11; Strabo, xvi. 2, 28; Movers, Phönizier, vol. i. pp. 422-3. The expression in Jonah, ii. 2, ‘out of the belly of Hades’ (mibten sheol, ἐκ κοιλίας ᾄδου) seems a relic of the original meaning of the myth.
