XXXIII. Observations on the Ogmian Hercules of Lucian, and on the Derivation of the Word Ogham, by Stephen Weston, B. D. F. R.S. and F. A. S. in a Letter to the President
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
A dissertation has been already read to the Society of Antiquaries, on the subject of the Ogmian Hercules, by Frid. Samuel Schmidt, where he has endeavoured to show that ὄγμος has the same meaning in Celtic as in Greek, and is properly a furrow, and a boundary; for which he has been very rudely handled by Mr. Toup, who insists upon it that ὄγμιος is corrupted for ὁμόγνιος and that the Hercules of Lucian is ὁμογένιος or one of the Dii Penates, like Jupiter Gentilitius.
