[123] See the cut No. 75 and also on [Plate XXX]., No. 382. M. Burnouf describes the animal to the right as a hare, the symbol of the Moon, and the other two as the antelopes, which denote the prevailing of the two halves of the month (quinzaines).
[124] See [Plate XXXV]., No. 414. The same symbol is seen on several other examples.
[125] Iliad, XIV. 346-351. An English writer ought surely to use our old-fashioned form Jove, which is also even philologically preferable as the stem common to Ζεύς and Ju-piter (Διο = Ζεϝ = Jov), rather than the somewhat pedantically sounding Ζεύς.—[Ed.]

[127] Iliad, XX. 216-218:—
Κτίσσε δὲ Δαρδανίην· ἐπεὶ οὔπω Ἴλιος ἱρὴ
Ἐν πεδίῳ πεπόλιστο, πόλις μερόπων ἀνθρώπων,
Ἀλλ’ ἔθ’ ὑπωρείας ᾤκεον πολυπίδακος Ἴδης.
“By Dardanus, of cloud-compelling Jove
Begotten, was Dardania peopled first,
Ere sacred Ilion, populous city of men,
Was founded on the plain; as yet they dwelt
On spring-abounding Ida’s lowest spurs.”
