APODES, in a general fenfe, denotes things without feet. Zoo- logifts apply the name to a fabulous fort of birds, faid to be found in fome of the iflands of the new world, which being entirely without feet, fupport the'mfelves on the branches of trees by their crooked bills. What is related of their man- ncr-of retting at night is Mill more extraordinary, that they hano - in clutters in the open air only bound together by their bills, and fupported by the denfity of the atmofpherc \ The Germans and Dutch have alfo their Apodes, a fort of birds fomewhat like fwallows, whofe legs and feet arc foveryfmall that they feem rather formed for creeping than running b. — p V.

A. U V Garni!, in Roman antiquity, were inftituted

in the year of Rome 542. The occafion was a kind of oracle delivered by the phophet Marcus after the fatal battle at Cannie, declaring, that to expel the enemy, and cure the people of an infectious difeafe, which then prevailed, facred games were to be annually performed in honour of Apollo. The prietor to have the dircaion of them ; and the decemviri to offer facri- nces after the Grecian rite. See livy, 1. 25. c. 12 The fenate ordered that this oracle mould be obferved the ra- ther, becaufe another of the fame Marcus, wherein he had foretold the overthrow at Canns, had come true ; for this reafon they gave the praetor twelve thoufand afles out ot the public cafh to defray the folemnity. There were lacr.hced an ox to Apollo, as alfo two white goats, and a cow to Latona : all with their horns gilt. Apollo had alio a colleaion made for him, befides what the people who were fpeflators gave voluntarily. The firft prator by whom they were held was P. Cornelius Sylla. For fome time they were moveable or mdiflive, but at length were fixed, under P. Licmius Varus, to the fifth of July, and made perpetual.

he "? en » who w «e fpeflatorsat thefe games, wore garlands on their heads ; the women performed their devotions in the temples at the fame time, and at laft they caroufed together in the veftiblcs of their houfes, the doors ftanding open. I he Apollmar'mn games were only fecnical ; and at firft only ob- lerveu with hnging, piping, and other forts of mufic ; but afterwards there were alfo introduced all manner of moun- tebank-tricks, dances, and the like, yet fo as that they ftill remained fcenical, no chariot races, wreftling, or the like la- borious excrcifes of the body being ever praaifed at them.

The occafion of their inftitution is thus related. Apollo after his viaory over Python, went to Egiaiea, accompanied with his filler Diana ; but being frighted thence, fled into Crete. After this the Egialians were infeaed with an epidemical diftcm- per ; and being advifed by the prophets to appeafe the two of- fended deities, Cent feven boys and as many virgins, to en- treat them to return, Apollo and Diana accepted their piety, and came with them to the citadel of Egiaiea, in memory of which a temple was dedicated to Pitho the goddefs of per- fuafion ; and it became a cuftom to appoint chofen boys and virgins, to make a folemn proceffion, in fhew, as if they defigned to bring back Apollo and Diana ; which folemnity was continued till Paufanias's time.

APOLOGUE (Cycl.)— We find many things in authors con- cerning the origin of Apologues ', the diftinguilhing charaaers of Apologues, the ufe and advantages of the way of teaching by Apologues b. — [> V.

Apologue differs from fable, fabula, ftuO©., as the former is ufed in fpeeches, and harangues to perfuade ; the latter in tragedies, comedies, and other pieces of poetry, to inftrua and correa the manners. Apologue alfo differs from anus, as the latter is only calculated for the ufe of men, and carries a graver and weightier admonition ; whereas Apo- logues are propofed to children. Apologue differs from parable, as the latter is a fimilitude drawn from natural, moral, or any other branches of knowledge ; the former only from moral topics. Others ftate the difference thus ; that parables are taken from the doings of men, Apologues from thofe of brutes, or even of things inanimate; fo that parables require probability in the narration, which Apologues do not.
