Note 91.1 — SUPPLEMENTARY LIST OF WORKS REFERRED TO

Brauns, 50; C. Pfoundes, in i. F. L. Record, 120. The latter relates that the rescued maiden married her deliverer, and contains some other unimportant variations. Both versions have been subjected to literary manipulation. The version of the tale of Susa No (ante, p. 51) given by Mr. Pfoundes (i. F. L. Record, 122) describes the maiden eaten by the serpent as “the yearly offering of a human sacrifice” to propitiate “the deity of the mountain.” But I hesitate to put this into the text, because Mr. Pfoundes does not give his authority, though I do not suggest it is not perfectly trustworthy. I am only anxious not to grasp too readily at evidence so exactly to my purpose.
