About this book
Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion is a book by Jane Ellen Harrison. Chapter VI, The Making of a Goddess, refers back to a development from Keres to Erinyes that has been traced in the last chapter. The text says that no one supposes the illiterate vase-painter worked with the text of the Kypria before him, and that art had its own traditions.
The text calls the Judgment a situation essentially stationary, with Paris for centre and Hermes subordinate. The text offers a tentative translation that includes the words O First-Born, Earth, Counsellor, All-Motherly, Cybelean, Kora, Holy Child of Demeter. The text says the Sirens are not of the sea, not even of the land, but demons of the underworld, a by-form of Keres, souls.
