The many COW idols dug up by DR..
Schliemann in the ancient palace at
Tiryus, are apt to revive the interest in
a controversy from which he has cer-
tain!y come out as the victor.
Animal worship is one of the oldest
cults. It's remnants are traceable in
India and Egypt, as well as in Troy
and Greece-nay, among our own Teu.
tonic forefathers. The COW and steer,
more especially, are to he met with in
the mythology Of many nations, as
the symbols of cosmogonic force, in a
nourishihg or creative sense. In the
oldest Egyptian presentations relating
to the creation OF the world, the COW,
coming forth out of the primeval wa.
ters, appears as the mother of the young
god Hesiods Gaia is both the Cow
and the Earth, the nourishing mother
of all forms of existence; So is the
Teutonic COW Audhumla, from whose
doings. in the rise and origin of all
things and beings. the very gods were
tabled to have sprung.
Sacred, gold-horned cows-reminding
us Of the Mycenean idols-appear in
the lays OF the Icelandic Edda, even as
among the ancient Hindoo. In German
and Scandinavian myth, cows and
steers play so large part that we are
impressed thereby in quite Mycenean
or Trojan manner. When the Teutons
and the Cimbrians went on their war
raid. 1000 years ago, they carried \
brszen bull as a sacred idol with them
Captive Romans. before being set free
by them, had to take an oath on that
bulls image. A sea.steer was
said to be the progenitor of the Frank
ish royal race OF the Merowings.
The kings OF that line, symbolically pre-.
serving the old mythic tradition. drove
about in car drawn by team Of oxen.
A golden bulls head was found in King
Chilperic's tomb. Sacred cows were
taken by Morse kings into battle as di-
vine guides and proctectresses. So it
is recorded of the Swedish king, Eistein
Bell. and his sacred COW, Sibila. There
is a similar record about King Oeg-
waldr. Cows were often used by the
Mortimer as prophetic leaders on i'm.
portant occasions.
Shall we then wonder that the founder
of Ilion Qlos, or II, whose name possibly
has contract with the Saxon chieftain's
name. Ellsl wasl guided by speckled
COW to the place to be chosen for the
settlement on the famed hill in the
Troad ,-lCassel's Family Magazine for
