page 148 note 1 The view was first put forward by me in The Golden Bough (first edition, 1890), i. 369 sq. It has since been maintained with fuller evidence in my Lectures on the Early History of the Kingship, (London, 1905) pp. 281 sqq., from which I will quote the conclusion (p. 284): ‘On the whole, then, we conclude that at Nemi the King of the Wood personated the oak-god Jupiter and mated with the oak goddess Diana in the sacred grove.’
