Page 199 A THEOSOPHIST : APOLLONIUS OF TYANA WHEN they had passed the Caucasus, we hear of
their seeing men four cubits high, and they were already among
blacks ; but when they penetrated beyond the Indus, there was another
tribe of five cubits in stature. In the journey to that river they
had an interesting incident to report : as they were travelling
in a'oright moonlight, they met with an apparition of an Empusa,
which assumed now one, now another shape, and sometimes vanished.
Apollonius perceived what it was. He then cursed the hag and instructed
the rest of the party to do likewise, such being the remedy for
this visitation. The apparition beat a hasty retreat, squeaking
like a devil. |
