The Cults of the Mother Goddesses in India
BEHIND many divine impersonations of the Minoan and early Hellenic theogonies appears the majestic figure of the Great Mother, who is generally benevolent." Just as the mother," says Dr. Farnell, "frequently stands between the children and the father as the mild intercessor, so the goddess often becomes the mediator of mercy to whom the sinners turn as their intercessor with the offended god.Such was Isis for the Graeco-Roman world ; such at time…

The House in India from the Point of View of Sociology and Folklore
THE questions connected with the house and house-building are of special importance to the student of sociology and folklore.The building and occupation of the house mark one of the most momentous transitions in the social history of mankind-the abandonment of nomadic life ; the more definite association of the members of the tribe or clan by the foundation of a village, involving the more intimate union of the individual with those who are his b…

The Cursing of Venezelos
Bull-Baiting, Bull-Racing, Bull-Fights
IN a beehive tomb of the Mycenaean age, at Vaphio, near Sparta, which was excavated in 1889, the most remarkable discovery was that of two gold cups, probably made in Crete, perhaps the finest achievement of Minoan art.On one of these cups we see a bull caught in a net, which is fastened at each end to a tree.The beast is thrown on his forequarters on the ground, and is lifting up his head and bellowing in distress.To the right is seen another bu…

Some Notes on Homeric Folk-Lore
IN this paper I propose to deal with some of folklore and folk-tales to be found in Homeric poems, and it not my intention to join, except indirectly, mellay of Unitarians,-those who, like Mr. Lang, contend that Iliad and Odyssey are work of a single writer,-and Separatists, or, as they used to be called, Chorizontes, represented by Mr. Leaf. But study of folk-lore and folk-tales of Homer so closely connected with problem of origins that it impos…

The Veneration of the Cow in India
ONLY those who have gained personal experience of the races of India can realize the widespread influence of the veneration of the sacred cow. In other countries, of course, we meet with instances where, like domesticated animals generally, she is the object of a profound respect, often developing into actual worship. 1 For instance, in Phrygia, the slaying of an ox or the destruction of an agricultural implement was punishable with death. 2 Plin…

Presidential Address
WE meet this evening saddened by the loss of a great personality, a scholar, a man of letters, a past President of this Society, a constant and valued contributor to our proceedings, Mr. Andrew Lang. So much has been said in the pages of Folk-Lore and elsewhere regarding his contributions to the literature of Anthropology and Folk lore, that it is needless to discuss them in detail. Perhaps his most notable achievement was his criticism of the my…

Correspondence.
WHEN at Ntumbi, West Shire district in 1894, I obtained from a girl named Mbuya, daughter of Chipanga of Nziza, the story of which a translation is given below.I could make little or nothing of it at first (as, probably owing to want of practice on the part both of reciter and reporter, it is incomplete, and per haps, in some places, not correctly taken down), but on seeing Dr. Elmslie's " Folklore Tales of Central Africa," in vol.iii. of Folk-Lo…
