Zeus : a study in ancient religion - Warburg Institute

388 The differentiation of
associated that might be regarded as diverse manifestations of the
same power, whether divine or human. Accordingly Zeus AinmoJi
was paired with Dionysos^ or with a Satyr- or with Sarapis (?)^
Zeus wearing an oak-wreath and acorns, with Hermes (?) wearing
a winged hat Hke a helmets Cicero's Hemneraclae^ may mean no
more than 'herms of Herakles".' But the actual
grouping lanus-wise of Hermes with Herakles
is sufficiently attested by an as of the gens
Rubria, struck c. 86 B.C. (fig. 296)", perhaps also
by a double bust in the Vatican". Another bust
in the same collection couples a youthful Hermes,
wearing a petasos, and a bearded Dionysos, with
'^" '^ wings on his head^ One in the Cabinet de
France joins a bearded Dionysos, with head-wings and a diadem, to
a beardless Satyr, wearing an ivy-wreath". Another at Berlin com-
bines a bearded Dionysos and a beardless Satyr, both crowned with
ivy". Yet another, in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge, shows
an ivy-wreathed Silenos together with a bay-wreathed Apollon
(fig. 297)^-. We find a Janiform arrangement even of a tragic and

' deux palmes et trois onces.' Greek marble. Both heads are wreathed with poplar ; and
Visconti admits that they might be interpreted as a bearded and a beardless Herakles.
He concludes, however, in favour of Herakles plus Hermes, two sons of Zeus presiding
over athletic contests.
