Kepresentations. — The oldest Coins with the Cock are those of 

 Himera and Dardanus (Imhoof-Bl. and K. pi. v. 38-42) and of 

 Carystus (B. M. C, Central Greece, p. 100, pi. xviii), all of the early 

 fifth centur}'. They recall the Indian Gallus Sonneratii (cf. J. P. Six, 

 in Imhoof-Bl. p. 35), or rather the Gallus ferrughieiis or bankiva of 

 Northern India. Cf. also Blyth's note (Ibis, 1867, p. 157) on fowls 

 sculptured on the Lycian marbles (c. 600 B. c). See also Conze, Ann. 

 de I'Inst., 1870, p. 280, on a Cock represented on an ancient relief of 

 Dionysus and Semele (?), B.C. 580-540. In regard to Himera, it is 

 noteworthy that Pindar's twelfth Olympian Ode, in which the Cock is 

 mentioned, was addressed to Ergoteles, an inhabitant of Himera (cf. 

 Buckton, N. and O. (4) iii. 131). 



The Cock with the Lion is early and frequent on coins of Asia 

 Minor: with Athena on coins of Leucas, Corinth, Dardanus; also on 

 coins of Ithaca, Zacynthus, Argos, &c. 



On a statue of Athene, Paus. vi. 26 (v. supra); on a statue of 

 Apollo, to indicate sunrise, Plut. De Pyth. Orac. xii. 574 (Mor, 488. 30). 

 On the shield of Idomeneus, Paus. v. 25 (v. supra).
