Zeus : a study in ancient religion . ¬Kpv(f)6r], kol Zevs dddvarov avrov â¬7T0irja-⬠a parallel to this famous scene H. Usener in the Sitzungsber. d. kais. Wiss. in Wien Classe 1897 cxxxvii. 3. 2, 4, 37 { = id. Kleine SchriftenLeipzigâBerlin 1913 iv. 200 ff., 234) cites the belief that Theodoric the Great,king of the Ostrogoths, did not die in 526 , but entered the earth as a livingman seated on his black charger. I am, however, inclined to lay more stress onanalogies drawn from the classical area, that of Erechtheus {supra p. 793 f.)or those of Latinus and Aeneas {Class. Rev. 1904 xviii. 363, Folk-Lore 1905 ). Such cases may be taken to imply that the early king, who during hislife had been credited with magical powers of making a thunderstorm, was afterhis death frankly identified with the weather-god.
