344 On Scriptural and profane Accounts 
the figure in question may represent both these divinities. 
To the same divinity whom we have seen described under 
the name of Sandes, I am inclined to refer the Lavdexos 
of Apollodorus (111. 14) whose whole history shows him 
to have belonged to the solar divinities; he reckons Phae- 
thon, Tithonus, and Aurora, all whose names are connec- 
ted with the sun; he marries ®apyaxn ; but this was a title 
by which the moon was worshipped (Strabo 12. 835 Alm.) 
he has by her Cinyras, whose son is Adonis. Now as all 
mythologists admit that Adonis is the Sun, it is evident 
that his progenitor can be no historical personage, but 
must be a deity of the same class as himself. We find 
elsewhere Apollo and Pharnace for Sandacus and Phar- 
nace, evidently with the same reference to the solar wor- 
ship. 
A singular account is given by Stephanus Byzantinus 
of the foundation of Ade or Antiochia on the Sarus as 
it was sometimes called, a city adjacent to Tarsus. It 
was founded he says by Adanus and Sarus, who made war 
with the people of Tarsus and were defeated. Adanus he 
says was the son of Ovpavs and Im and was the same as 
Osagos and Avdns (Sandes) and Cronus and Rhea and 
Japetus and Olymbrus. Obscure as some parts of this 
account are, it should seem that these Sarus and Adanus 
have been formed out of the two first parts of the name 
Sar-dan-apallus, and as Adanus is both Cronus and Rhea, 
it is evident that he united both sexes in one hody, as we 
have seen that the Assyrian deities did, and as was ex- 
pressly asserted of Adonis (Orph. H. 55: Hist. Poet. 
Script. Gale. p. 306) whose name is radically the same 
z's one of the numerous titles of royalty bestowed on the 
Sun. When Stephanus adds that the Zapos was originally 
called xoipavs, he appears to confound the name of the 
river with its meaning. "w, whence Zapor, really does mean 
XO bDaYOS .
