 s.v. 'H/ifpw/a ^wa (whatever that may mean) mentions KrjVKes as sea- 

 birds, together with a\Kvovfs and droves. 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 Kr)v was not originally 

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

 the Halcyon-myth (cf. s. v. lojpuXos). 



Kl'rKAOI. (MSS. of Arist. have Kiyx^os, KIX^OS, KO'^XOS-. Other forms 



are KeyK\os, KiyKaXos Suid., KiyK\ts, Etym. Mag.) Cf. Sk. can-cala, 



mobile (Burnouf, Diet. 237). 

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



Suidas, also called ici'XXoupos and aeicroiruyis (q. v.). 



Arist. H. A. viii. 3, 593 b mentioned among the smaller aquatic birds 

 with axomXos and Truyapyos ; is less than the latter, which is as large as 

 a thrush. Travres S' OVTOI TO ovpalov KIVOIKTIV. Ib. ix. 12, 615 Trepl rfjv

Sundevall takes KiyK\os to be a Sandpiper, Tringa sp., chiefly, as it 

 seems, because vxoiviXos is doubtless a name for the Wagtail, Motacilla. 

 But I prefer to believe that KiyK\os 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
