The bird KfXed? figures, together with XaUs 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. 8puoKoXctiTTT]9 : 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
