THE HORITES.

or Cronus, who is represented as sacrificing his son. The Silenes, 

 named after him, are a monkey race, once more reproducing the 

 Arab, Indian and Lydian stories. Rhea Silvia or Ilia is the old Ehea, 

 wife of Ilus, the Pyrrha that married Deucalion, and that bears both 

 the names of the eldest son of Shobal. The Etruscan Mantus is 

 Manahath. Apollo and Apulia represent Ebal. Coelus and 

 Elysium are the abode of Sllobal, the great Deev, and his son Alvan, 

 or Gilshah, or Caliya, in Elusa or Khulasa, the Cailasa of the Hin- 

 doos. Of Coelus and Hecate, a strange combination, seeing that 

 they are the names of father and son, Janus is said to be the 

 offspring. But Janus, the fish-god, is Cannes or Onam, a prominent 

 member of the Horite family. The line of Alba, the white city, is 

 peculiarly Horite. In it we find Latinus, who is Lotan. Alba 

 Sylvius is Alvan himself, twice named over. His son Atys is Jahath, 

 and, strange to say, is also called Ca.petus, while his son is Capys, 

 thus twice reproducing the ^gyptus, Kobad or Cheops, whom we 

 have found to be Achiimai. Thtis j^lainly did the old story of a far- 

 off and bygone civilization live in the memories of those who claimed 

 as their ancestors the children of Seir, the Horite. '^^ 



Germans and Celts. — The German and Scandinavian mythologies 

 hava few points of connection with the Horites. Their gods and 

 heroes belong principally to two other families, those of Etam and 

 Ashehur. The red Shethites are among the ancestors of these 

 peoples. Still Ha or II survives in the god Frey with his wife
