Note 872 — Chapter VII · THE MAKING OF A GOD.

Verg. Aen. VI. 585. Hygin. Fab. 61. Salmoneus, not Athamas, is I think represented on the Chicago vase (fig. 8) as holding the thunderbolt of Zeus; the vase has been rightly explained by Mr A. B. Cook, Cl. Rev. July 1903, p. 276. It will later (Chap. XI.) be shown that the canonical Hades was peopled by these heroes of an early racial stratum.
