Note 417 — Chapter V · THE DEMONOLOGY OF GHOSTS AND SPRITES AND BOGEYS.

I am indebted for this and many important references to the article on Keres by Dr Otto Crusius in Roscher’s Lexicon (Bd. II. 1148). Dr Crusius’ admirable exposition of the nature of the Keres suffers only from one defect, that he feels himself obliged to begin it with the comparatively late literary conceptions of Homer.
