In Mobile the exiles had learned the true whereabouts of the brigade, and of a battery then called Bartleson's as often as Kincaid's by a public which had half forgotten the seemingly well-established fact of Hilary's death. Therein was no new shock. The new shock had come when, as the three waited for telegrams, they stood before a vast ironclad still on the ways but offering splendid protection from Farragut's wooden terrors if only it could be completed, yet on which work had ceased for lack of funds though a greater part of the needed amount, already put up, lay idle solely because it could not be dragged up to a total that would justify its outlay.Little is known of the Pelasgian epoch; but it is a historical fact that a woman was abducted at the fountain of Callirrho?. On this incident the first story ��Zeus Hypsistos�� is founded, and the climax of Periphas�� death is based upon an ancient idea: a voice of fate. The belief in Ph��mai or Cledones is older than in that of most oracles, and dates back to the days of Homer. When Ulysses is wandering about, pondering over the thought of killing the suitors, he prays to Zeus for a sign and omen, a voice of fate, which then sounds in a thunder-clap and, inside of the house, he hears a slave-girl wishing evil to the suitors. The old demi-god Cychreus of Salamis is mentioned by Pausanias (I. 36). It was a universal idea in ancient times that demi-gods liked to transform themselves into serpents. In the battle of Salamis a serpent appeared in the Athenian fleet; the oracle declared that it was the ancient demi-god Cychreus. In Eleusis Demeter hadv a serpent called the Cychrean, for Cychreus, who had either slain it or himself assumed its form. For the remarkable ceremonial of purification after a murder (page 58), see Apollonius�� Argonautica (IV. 702). The words: ��Zeus was, Zeus is, and Zeus will be�� are borrowed from the ancient hymn sung by the Dodonian priestesses, called Peleiades (doves.)Juilliard announced the appointment of David Serkin Ludwig as dean and director of the Music Division
