vni] The Daimon-Snake 269 Greeks. It is, Dr Frazer 1 says, a common belief among the Zulus ( and other Caffre tribes that the dead come to life and revisit their old homes in the shape of serpents. Such semi-human serpents are treated with great respect and often fed with milk. Among the Ba-Ronga 2 the snake is regarded as a sort of incarnation of an ancestor and is dreaded though never worshipped. A native pursuing a snake that had got into the kitchen of a missionary station accidentally set the building on fire. All the neighbours exclaimed that the fire was due to the SDake, and the snake was the chiko-nembo or ghost of a man who was buried close at hand and had come out of the earth to avenge himself. If a dead man wants to frighten his wife, he is apt in East Central Africa to present himself in the form of a snake. Among the Bahima of Eukole 3 , in Uganda, dead chiefs turn into snakes, but dead kings into lions. If the snake then is the symbol or vehicle of the dead man how can he also be a ' daimon of fertility ' ? The two aspects are incompatible, even contradictory—death and life are not the same, though mysticism constantly seeks to blend them. Which then does the snake represent, death or life ? Is he a good daimon of life and fertility or an evil daimon of mortality and corruption ? Fortunately, a story told us by Plutarch 4 leaves us in no doubt as to the significance of the snake and its relation to the dead man. After Cleomenes of Sparta had fled to Egypt and there died by his own orders, Ptolemy, fearing an insurrection, wished to dishonour the king's body and ordered it to be impaled and hung up. A few days after, those who were guarding the impaled body saw a huge snake (bpaKovra) wound about the head and hiding the face so that no bird of prey should light on it. Thereupon a superstitious fear fell on the king and such a dread that it started the women on various purification ceremonies, inasmuch as a man had been put to death who was dear to the gods and of more t/ian mortal nature. The Alexandrians came thronging to the place and saluted Cleomenes as a hero and the child of the gods, till the learned men put a stop to it by explaining that as oxen when they putrefy breed bees, 1 Adonis Attis Osiris 2 , p. 73. 2 H.
