• 47  It may be remarked that the story of the murdered Pelops who was served up at a banquet to the gods by his father Tantalus when Demeter, absorbed with grief for Persephone, ate the shoulder has its locale at Elis. As soon as the lad was restored to life the goddess supplied the missing shoulder with one of ivory, and this relic was shown at Elis even in historical times as Pliny tells us: “Et Elide solebat ostendi Pelopis costa, quam eburneam adfirmabant.” Historia Naturalis, xxviii, 4, vij, ed. Gabriel Brotier, Barbou, 1779, vol. V, p. 112. The reading “costa” is just possible in this passage, as meaning the shoulder and side. But Brotier has a gloss: “Pelopsis costa. Corruptè. In MSS. Reg. Pelopis ostiliam: in editione principe, Pelopis hasta. Emendauere recentiores, Pelopis costa. Legendum potius, Pelopis scapula. Est enim teste Uergilio, Georg. III, 7.

Humero Pelops insignis eburno.” One might suggest that in the editio princeps hasta was pro pene; translatum a re militari, quod frequentissimum. Ausonius, Cento nuptialis, 117, has: “Intorquet summis adnixus uiribus hastam.” Joannes Secundus in his Epithalamium writes:

Huc, illuc, agilis feratur hasta,
Quam crebro furibunda uerset ictu
Non Martis soror, ast amica Martis
Semper laeta nouo cruore Cypris.

• 60  In Greece at the present day a funeral usually concludes with a distribution of baked-meats and wine to the company assembled by the grave, and a share both of food and of drink is set aside for the dead. Frequently this is more than a light collation, and the cemetery is the scene of many a substantial meal. These repasts are generally known as μακαρία, whilst the supper to relatives and friends which follows at home in the evening is the παρηγορία “comforting,” or τὸ ζεστόν, “the warming.”
