298 MYTHOLOGY OF THE ARYAN NATIONS. BOOK in the flames, screams with fear, and is told by Demeter that,
THE MAIDEN AND THE MOTHER. 290 to the Hyperborean gardens. This myth in Bunsen's belief CHAP; 'is an exact counterpart of the earliest myth of Heraldes, s.— ,__. who falls into the sleep of winter and lies there stiff and stark till Iolaus wakes him by holding' a quail to his nose.' This idea of the palsied or feeble sun is reproduced in the Egyptian Harp-i-chruti (the Grecised Harpokrates), the sun regarded as an infant, the lame child of Isis, the earth,— phrase which carries us to that wide class of legends, which speak of the sun, or the wind, or the light, as weak, if not impotent, in their first manifestations. Osiris can be avenged only by Horos, the full-grown sun, after the vernal equinox. Although with the mythical history of Persephone are Thestu- mingled some institutional legends explaining the ritual of Narcilus. the Eleusinian mysteries, the myth itself is so transparent as to need but little interpretation. The stupifying narcis- sus with its hundred flowers springing from a single stem is in the opinion of Colonel Mure a monstrous hyperbole ; yet it must be a narcotic which lulls to sleep the vegetation of nature in the bright yet sad autumn days when heaven and earth smile with the beauty of the dying year, and the myth necessarily chose the flower whose name denoted this dreamy lethargy. Even in her gloomy nether abode the charac- ter of the maiden is not wholly changed. She is still not the fierce queen who delights in death, but the daughter yearning to be clasped once more in her mother's arms. That mother is carefully nursing the child of Keleos, the seed which grows without food or drink, except the nourishment of the dew and the heat which still lurks in the bosom of the winter-smitten earth. But while she is engaged in this task, she is mourning still for the daughter who has been taken away from her, and the dreary time which passes before they meet again is the reign of the gloomy winter, which keeps the leaves off the trees and condemns the tillers of the soil to unwilling idleness. The sequel of the hymn simply depicts the joy of returning spring and summer, when the mourning mother is exalted in glory to the ever- lasting halls of Olympos. Hence, so far as the meaning of the myth is concerned, it matters little whether Demeter be herself the earth grieving for the lost treasures of summer,
