Caput, a head, is required by the god. Numa brings him an 1 Fast, 3, 339 seq.
DIRECTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT. 175 onion, cepa. No ; it is a human head that Jupiter demands ! jSTurna then presents a human hair, capillus.

Jupiter is then good- natured enough to be amused with the joke, and thence- forth contents himself with substitutes for human sacri- fices. This story, which was certainly not invented by the poet, though told in his own peculiar way, brings out the familiarity of the worshipper with his god still more clearly than the former. And here the man who thus trifles with the deity is not a rebellious Titan, who seeks to overthrow the supremacy of the Olympians, but the devout favourite of the gods, the mythical king- lawgiver, whose name Numa, akin to the Greek nomos, he derives from this latter capacity, and who is regarded by the pious Eomans as the recipient of divine revela- tions.
