Naumann (Schmidt’s Jahrbuch 1837. Vol. 13. p. 100.) says: Ἐναρέες, probably a Scythian word, calls to mind the dwarf Anar or Onar in the old Northern Mythology,—a eunuch in a sort, but who was nevertheless reverenced as father-in-law of Odin. (J. Grimm, “Deutsche Mythologie” (German Mythology). Göttingen 1835. p. 424). With this Hippocrates’ statement would agree, according to which these eunuchs were regarded by their countrymen with a reverence almost as if they had been gods.—As to this, first observe that it yet remains to be proved that the Scythian language belongs to the Indo-Germanic family, secondly that with Onar or Anar there is no question at all of a non-man or actual eunuch, for Anar begat a daughter on Notta. This daughter, Jördh, was wife of Odin, making Anar Odin’s father-in-law.
