page 140 note a In the painting of Lesche at Delphi, Memnon and Penthesilea were represented together. Cf. Paus. x. Phocica.
page 140 note b The winged type of Aurora, whose Doric form Ἀὼς is analogous to ἄνμι spirare, suggests that she herself was a wind. In the story of Procris and Cephalus he invokes her as Aura, (Ovid. Met. vii. xxviii.), while her Latin name, Aurora, confirms this reading. Vide Hermann Ueber das Wesen, &c. 98. On the Vases, Ηεος.
page 141 note c Metam. xiii. sec. iii. 2 Icon. lib. i. c. 7. She there obtains furtively the body of her son,—ἳν᾽ ἐγγενήται οἱ κλέψαι τὸν υἷον.

Hi capita pedesque pennatos habuisse feruntur; or at their sides, Ovid Met. vi. 719, Cingere utrumque latus. On the vase in Millingen, Anc. Uned. Monuments, they are unarmed except with offensive weapons.
page 144 note n Il. xvi. 675. Applied to Sarpedon. In this respect the winged figures recall to mind the Κηρὲς at the sides of contending warriors. Cf. De Witte, Cat. Durand. no, 395. Also Millin Vases Peints. iii. Pl. xlviii., where the winged soul of Hector in full armor flies off to Hades. Iliad, xxii. 1. 362. For the psychopomic office of the Κηρὲς, Cf. Il. ii. l.302, 834. Schol. ad ead. Loc., and Heyne's Annot.
