Some Of the Old NEUROLOGICAL Beliefs
Still Prevail.
Some Of the superstitious Of the old
mythologic religion still prevail among
the peasant classes In Greece" said a
native of that country. Nor are the
educated classes without such beliefs,
such as that harm ensues from looking
at the moon over the right shoulder.
The belief in the three fates, the evil
eye, the vampires and the nerelds Is
general. Dressed in black and appear
ing as old women, the fates are sup
posed to come down from Olympus
three days after the birth Of child
and to hold meeting to determine its
fate. Consequently a table containing
many dainties is set out for their in
visible enjoyment. Especial care is
taken lest the old ladies be enraged at
not having enough good things to eat.
mo woman desires to be left alone
after her child is born, believing that
the ugly old women may become jeal-
GUS and wreak some awful vengeance,
Smut Is therefore smeared on the
faces of the youngsters so that this
jealousy may not become excited.
"The young Athenian women fire.
quently go 20 the ancient tombs near
Athens and, calling upon the fates, beg
them to reveal the identity of their fu-
ture husbands, singing, From the top
of Olympus, where are the fates, where
