78 A GLOSSARY OF GREEK BIRDS 



KEAEOI {continued). 

 the Green Woodpecker is said to have been first given by Gesner, 

 cf. Schn. in Arist., vol. iii. p. 592. 



The bird KfXeoy figures, together with Xatof and others, in a very 

 mystical story of Boios, ap. Anton. Lib. c. xix. 



Celeus is also the name of a mystical king of Attica, in connexion 

 with the story of Ceres and Triptolemus ; this circumstance may be 

 correlated with other Woodpecker-myths in Greek and Latin referred 

 to s. v. 8puoKo\d7rTT)s : cf. Mythogr. Vatic, i. 7. 8, iii. 7. 2 ; Schol. ad 

 Greg. Nazianz. p. 48, ed. Gaisf., &c. On other relations between 

 Celeus and the Ceres-myth, cf. Horn. Hymn. Cer. 475 ; Ar. Ach. 48 ; 

 Pausan. i. 14, 38, 39, ii. 14; Anton. Lib. c. xix; vide also Creuzer's 

 Symbolik (ed. 1836) i. 152, iv. 368, 384. 

 KE'n4>0Z. MSS. have also Kifx^os, KiV^oy, yei^oy. An unknown water- 

 bird ; usually, but without warrant, identified (after Schneider in 

 Arist., and Promt. Lips. 1786, p. 501) with the Stormy Petrel, 

 Thalassid?-oma pelagica, L. According to Hesych., identical with 

 K{\i. The accounts are fabulous, and the name is very probably 

 foreign.
