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 KfXeds- figures, together with Xai'ds 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. SpuoKoXdirrris : 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'I~I4>OI. MSS. have also *ep,(pos, KiV^oy, yetyos. An unknown water- 

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

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

 Thalassidroma pelagica, L. According to Hesych., identical with 

 icrjf. The accounts are fabulous, and the name is very probably 

 foreign.
