Some early connection is likely between Ceres as goddess of grain crops and Consus as a god of grain storage and patron of the Circus.

The etymology of the name Consus is uncertain.

Servius says that Consus is the god of councils.

The interpretation of Consus as god of advice is already present in Latin authors and is due to folk etymology supported by the story of the abduction of the Sabine women ( which happened on the day of the Consualia aestiva ), said to have been advised by Consus.

Consus seems to be an alternate name of Saturn in the chthonic aspect as consort, since he is also held to be the husband of Ops.

Although Ops is a consort of Saturn, she was also closely associated with Consus, the protector of grains and subterranean storage bins ( silos ).

Holmes ) " As for the rest, if man shall be thus able to devise a god ,-- as Romulus did Consus, and Tatius Cloacina, and Hostilius Fear, and Metellus Alburnus, and a certain authority Hadrian some time since Antinous ,-- the same accomplishment may be allowed to others.

Moreover both the passages that this etymology requires present difficulties, particularly as it seems Consus cannot be etymologically related to adjective consivius or conseuius, found in Ops Consivia and thence the implied notion of sowing.

At the suggestion of his grandfather Numitor, Romulus holds a solemn festival in honor of Neptune ( according to another tradition the festival was held in honor of the God Consus ) and invites the neighboring Sabines and Latins to attend ; they arrive en masse, along with their daughters.

It opened with a horse-race in the Circus Maximus, whose starting point lay below and opposite to her Aventine Temple ; the turning post at the far end of the Circus was sacred to Consus, a god of grain-storage.

Consus became a god associated with secret conferences, as his name was also interpreted allegorically in relation to consilium (" council, assembly ").

Lydus understands Consivius as βουλαιον ( consiliarius ) owing to a conflation with Consus through Ops Consiva or Consivia.

One important element was his officiating on the feriae of the Consualia aestiva ( of the Summer ), which associated Quirinus to the cult of Consus and indirectly of Ops ( Ops Consivia ).

He thought of the jungles below him, and of the wild, strange, untracked beauty there and he promised himself that someday he would return, on foot perhaps, to hunt in this last corner of the world where man is sometimes himself the hunted, and animals the lords.

A third, one of at least equal and perhaps even greater importance, is now being traversed: American immersion and involvement in world affairs.

( Since the time-span of the nation-state coincides roughly with the separate existence of the United States as an independent entity, it is perhaps natural for Americans to think of the nation as representative of the highest form of order, something permanent and unchanging.

It is perhaps difficult to conceive, but imagine that tonight on London bridge the Teddy boys of the East End will gather to sing Marlowe, Herrick, Shakespeare, and perhaps some lyrics of their own.

The key word in my plays is ' perhaps ' ''.

As Lipton puts it: `` The Eros is felt in the magic circle of marijuana with far greater force, as a unifying principle in human relationships, than at any other time except, perhaps, in the mutual metaphysical orgasms.

Years ago this was true, but with the replacement of wires or runners by radio and radar ( and perhaps television ), these restrictions have disappeared and now again too much is heard.

What I want to point out here is that all of them are ex-liberals, or modified liberals, with perhaps one exception.

There is another side of love, more nearly symbolized by the croak of the mating capercailzie, or better still perhaps by the mute antics of the slug.

However, it was not of innocence in general that I was speaking, but of perhaps the frailest and surely the least important side of it which is innocence in romantic love.

Of all the Whig tracts written in support of the Succession, The Crisis is perhaps the most significant.

It is, however, a disarming disguise, or perhaps a shield, for not only has Mercer proved himself to be one of the few great lyricists over the years, but also one who can function remarkably under pressure.

He tends to underestimate -- or perhaps to view charitably -- the brutality and the violence of the age, so that there is an idyllic quality in these pages which hazes over some of its sharp reality.

If only for this modest masterpiece of military history, Blenheim is likely to be read and reread long after newer interpretations have perhaps altered our picture of the Marlborough wars.

The most famous document that comes out of this dispute is perhaps Sir Philip Sidney's An Apologie For Poetrie, published in 1595.

His credulity is perhaps best illustrated in his introduction to The Emancipation Of Massachusetts, which purports to examine the trials of Moses and to draw a parallel between the leader of the Israelite exodus from Egypt and the leadership of the Puritan clergy in colonial New England.

the mere fact that he was selected, though as a substitute, to act as interlocutor or moderator for it, or perhaps we should say with Buck as ' father of the act ', is in itself a difficult phase of his development to grasp.

If it proclaims that the best is yet to be, it always arouses, at least in the young, either a suspicious question or perhaps the exclamation of the Negro youth who saw on a tombstone the inscription, `` I am not dead but sleeping ''.

It is perhaps too late now to talk of mandate because it is inconsistent with what is termed political realism.

The only response we can think of is the humble one that at least we aren't playing the marimba with our shoes in the United Nations, but perhaps the heavy domes in the house of delegates can improve on this feeble effort.

-- Is this, perhaps, one of the things that is wrong with our country??

Since appeals to morality, to humanity, and to sanity have had such small effect, perhaps our last recourse is the deterrent example.

`` That is, if we can be sure this is Colcord's money '' --

`` Dandy is to be our house guest, Louis.

It is hard to see how the situation could be otherwise.

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

Ratified in the Republican Party victory in 1952, the Positive State is now evidenced by political campaigns being waged not on whether but on how much social legislation there should be.

Recognizing that the Rule of Law is `` a dynamic concept which should be employed not only to safeguard the civil and political rights of the individual in a free society '', the Congress asserted that it also included the responsibility `` to establish social, economic, educational and cultural conditions under which his legitimate aspirations and dignity may be realized ''.

To him, law is the command of the sovereign ( the English monarch ) who personifies the power of the nation, while sovereignty is the power to make law -- i.e., to prevail over internal groups and to be free from the commands of other sovereigns in other nations.

Work is under way to see whether new restraining devices should be installed on all nuclear weapons.

The box is internally wired so the door can never be opened without setting off a screeching klaxon ( `` It's real obnoxious '' ).

Others are confined to vast reservations, and not only does the Australian government justifiably not wish them to be viewed as exhibits in a zoo, but on their reservations they are extremely fugitive, shunning camps, coming together only for corroborees at which their strange culture comes to its highest pitch -- which is very low indeed.

Unfortunately, it was Muzak, which automatically is piped into the public rooms, and which nolens volens had to be endured.

I consider it to be my job to expose the public to what is being written today ''.

Since attack serves to stimulate interest in broadcasts, I added to my opening statement a sentence in which I claimed that German youth seemed to lack the enthusiasm which is a necessary ingredient of anger, and might be classified as uninterested and bored rather than angry.

William Styron, while facing the changing economy with a certain uneasy reluctance, insists he is not to be classified as a Southern writer and yet includes traditional Southern concepts in everything he publishes.

Lacking the pioneer spirit necessary to write of a new economy, these writers seem to be contenting themselves with an old one that is now as defunct as Confederate money.

As his disciples boast, even though his emphasis is elsewhere, Faulkner does show his awareness of the changing order of the South quite keenly, as can be proven by a quick recalling of his Sartoris and Snopes families.

The approach to the depiction of the experience of creation may be analytic, as it is for Miss Litz, or spontaneous, as it is for Merle Marsicano.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

An order can be chanced rather than chosen, and this approach produces an experience that is `` free and discovered rather than bound and remembered ''.

The sequence of movements in a Cunningham dance is unlike any sequence to be seen in life.

The answers derived by these means may determine not only the temporal organization of the dance but also its spatial design, special slips designating the location on the stage where the movement is to be performed.
