Ilus leading a cow to the statue of Athene Ilias on a small column; in the field is a column : on a coin of Gordianus III. (No. 1492). These four types find their interpretation in Apollodorus,^ who relates that Ilus travelled to Phrygia, carried ofi the victory in the sacred games, and, having consulted an oracle, receivedthe answer that he must follow a speckled cow,and build a city on the spot where she might liedown. This took place on the so-called hill ofAte, where Ilus built a town called by him IXio?.Praying to Zeus to grant him a favourable sign,he saw falling from heaven before his tent thePalladium, which for that reason was called SaTrere? :hence the reason is evident why the Ilian Zeusholds the Palladium on his hand.*ANXEICHC Acl)POAE
