See J.H.S. xii. p. 340 (Ker seizing soul of fallen warrior); also for a Ker in combats, Reinach, ii. 63, 126 (Munich 781), 97 (in the latter case protecting Aeneas against Diomede); also i. 113 (Berlin 1713, 1714), 223, where they represent demons of good or evil according to the will of the gods.

[879]. See Robert, Thanatos, and J.H.S. xii. p. 345. The Ker hovering over Alkyoneus (see below, p. [100]) in Reinach, i. 255, 451, may be a Hypnos (see Koepp in Arch. Zeit. 1884, p. 42 ff.).
