Note 846 — Chapter VII · THE MAKING OF A GOD.
Reading edition
Mr F. M. Cornford kindly points out to me that the bearded snake is not unknown to Greek literature. He is one of the many θαύματα that meet us in the life of Apollonius of Tyana, see Philostr. Vit. Apoll. III. 7 and 8. These snakes belong to the wonder land of India.
