AUTUMNUS,

Autumn, the 3d. Sea∣son of the Year, when they gather the Grapes, and Fruits.

Heyrod in his Theogonia makes the Seasons the Daughters of Jupiter, and Taemis, and counts but three, as Orpheus does, in which Phidias follows him, having carved but 3 Statues of these Goddesses. The Aegyptians owned by three, Spring, Summer, and Au∣tumn, allowing each 4 Months, and repre∣senting them by a Rose, an Ear of Corn, and an Apple, or Grape. Nonnus about the end of the Eleventh Book of his Dionysiacks, reckons 4 Seasons in the Year, as does Philo∣s••••atu••, Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. The Seasons say•• h••, have Eyes of this Colour of dryed Roses, the Daughters of the incon∣stant Year, swift of Foot, as a Storm of Wind.

There is at Medon an Autumn of Marble, made by one ••r. James a Native of Angoulesme, under the Figure of a young Man Crowned with Vine Branches, and Grapes, which he made at Rome in the Year 1550.
