Note 164 — Chapter II · PRIESTLY KINGS

G. F. Schömann, Handbuch der griech. Alterthümer,⁴ ii. 270 sqq.; E. Ziebarth, “Der Fluch im griechischen Recht,” Hermes, xxx. (1895) pp. 57–70; Miss J. E. Harrison, Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion² (Cambridge, 1908), pp. 138–145; and my note on Pausanias, iii. 2. 7. For example, the people of Teos cursed poisoners and all persons who hindered the importation of corn (Cauer, op. cit. No. 480; Ch. Michel, op. cit. No. 1318). On the other hand, at Athens in the time of Solon public curses were levelled at all who exported anything but olive oil (Plutarch, Solon, 24). These particular curses may interest students of the history of free trade.
