 s.v. 'H/nf piva fwa (whatever that may mean) mentions Ki^vKes as sea- 

 birds, together with d\Kv6vis and ofjSoVe?. On the fable of Ceyx, 

 Alcyone, &c., see Ovid. Met. xi. 269, &c., &c. ; Ceyx comes into 

 relation with Hercules and the Argonautic legends in Anton. Lib. 

 c. xxvi ; and the Hesiodic myth of Ceyx and Cycnus is of the same 

 order. We may, I think, rest assured that ki]v^ was not originally 

 a concrete and specific bird-name, but a mystical term associated with 

 the Halcyon-myth (cf s. v. KT]puXos). 



KITKAOZ. (]\ISS. of Arist. have KiyxXoi, kIxXos, k(jxXos. Other forms 



are KeyKkos, KiyKoXos Suid., KiyKXls, Etym. Mag.) Cf. Sk. can-cala,

 A Wagtail, Motacilla sp. According to Hesychius, Photius, and 



Suidas, also called KiXXoupos and o-eio-oTruyis (q-v.).

Sundevall takes KiyKXos to be a Sandpiper, T7inga sp., chiefly, as it 

 seems, because (jxoiv'CXos is doubtless a name for the Wagtail, Motacilla. 

 But I prefer to believe that KiyKXos is also a Wagtail, firstly because the 

 movement is much more characteristic and noticeable in that bird than 

 in the Sandpiper, secondly because of the statement as to its size, and
