Note 521 — Chapter V · THE DEMONOLOGY OF GHOSTS AND SPRITES AND BOGEYS.
Reading edition
Published by Schreiber, Hellenistische Reliefbilder, Taf. LXI.: where the relief now is is not known. Fully discussed by Dr Otto Crusius, ‘Die Epiphanie der Sirene,’ Philologos (N.F. IV.) p. 93. Dr Crusius rightly observes that the relief has been misunderstood. It represents rather an ἔφοδος than a σύμπλεγμα, and the recumbent figure is a mortal man not a Silen.
