(1.) OLYMPO, a mountain of European Turkey, in Theffaly; 10 miles N. of Lariffa. (2) OLYMPO, a mountain of European Turkey, in Natolia ; so miles NW. of Kiutaja. (r.) OLYMPUS, a celebrated mountain of Ma. cedonia and Theffaly, now called Lacha. The ancients fuppofed it to be the highest mountain in the world; that its top reached heaven; was the court of Jupiter, and the refidence of the gods; and the poets feigned that upon it there were neither clouds, rain, nor wind, but an eternal spring. Homer, Iliad 1. Virg. Æn. ii. vi. Ovid. Met. Żuran, Claudian, &c. It was alfo fabled to have been the scene of the battle between the gods and the giants. Its real height is about a mile and a half perpendicular; its top is always covered with fnow. (2-7.) OLYMPUS is alfo the name of other s mountains: viz. 1. bounding Bithynia on the S.: 2. in Cyprus, on whose top was a temple of Venus, which women were not permitted to enter, (Strabo) 3. in Galatia, (Livy): 4. in Lycia, with a noble cognominal town near the fea coaft, (Strabo, Cicero), extinct; in Pliny's time there remained only a citadel: the town was destroyed by P. Servilius Ifauricus, having been the retreat of pirates (Florus). From this mountain there was an extenfive profpect of Lycia, Pamphylia, and Pifidia (Strabo). 5. In Myfia, (Ptolemy); thence furnamed OLYMPENA, anciently Minor; one of the highest mountains, and called Myfrus by Theophraftus; fituated on the Propontis, and thence extending more inland. tempted to bribe his adversary, was subjected to a fevere fine; and even the father and relations were obliged to fwear, that they would have recourse to no artifice which might decide the victory in favour of their friends. No criminals, nor fuch as were connected with impious and guilty perfons, were fuffered to prefent themfelves as combatants. The wrestlers were appointed by lot. Some little balls fuperfcribed with a letter were thrown into a filver urn, and fuch as drew the fame letter were obliged to contend one with the other. He who had an odd letter remained the laft; and he often had the advantage, as he was to encounter the last who had obtained the fuperiority over his adversary. In these games were exhibited running, leaping, wrestling, boxing, and throwing the quoit, which was called altogether Tirado, or QUINQUERTIUM. There were also horfe and chariot races, and contentions in poetry, eloquence, and the fine arts. The only reward that the conqueror obtained was a crown of olive. This, as fome fuppofe, was in memory of the labours of Hercules, which were accomplished for the universal good of mankind, and for which the hero claimed no other reward but the consciousness of having been the friend of mankind. So fmall and trifling a reward stimulated courage and virtue, and was the fource of greater honours than the most unbounded treasures. The ftatues of the Olympionica were erected at Olympia in the facred wood of Jupiter. Their return home was that of a warlike conqueror; they were drawn in a chariot by four horses, and everywhere received with the greatest acclamations. Their entrance into their native city was not through the gates; to make it more grand and more folemn, a breach was made in the walls. Painters and poets were employed in celebrating their names; and indeed the victories feverally obtained at Olympia are the subjects of the moft beautiful odes of Pindar. The combatants were naked. A scarf was originally tied round their waift; but when it had entangled one of them, and been the caufe that he loft the victory, it was laid afide. The Olympic games were obferved every 5th year, or, to speak with greater exactnefs, after a revolution of 4 years, and in the firft month of the 5th year; and they continued for 5 fucceffive days. As they were the moft ancient and moft folemn of all the festivals of the Greeks, it will not appear wonderful that they drew fo many people, not only inhabitants of Greece, but of the neighbouring islands and countries. OLYMPIODORUS, a peripatetic philofopher of Egypt, born in Thebes, who flourished under Theodofius II. and wrote a hiftory of the eastern empire, in Greek, in 22 books, from the 7th confulfhip of Honorius, and 2d of Theodofius, to the acceffion of Valentinian I.

OMAR II, the 13th caliph of the race of Ommiades, fucceeded his coufin Solyman in 717. He laid fiege to Conftantinople, but was forced to raise it, and his fleet fuffered much from a violent tempeft. He was poisoned at Emessa, A.D. 720. Poland, to whom he was made Latin fecretary. He attended the election of the emp. Leopold I. as ambaffador from Poland, and on return was made prebendary to the crown, bishop of Culm, and afterwards vice-chancellor, and grand chancellor. After the deaths of Ladiflaus IV. and Michael, he had a great hand in procuring the election of king John Sobieski, who made him Abp. of Guefne, and primate of Poland. His right to the primacy being difputed by the Bp. of Cracow, he published a work in defence of his right. He wrote feveral other tracts; and died at Dantzick, whither he had gone to fettle fome difputes be. tween the fenate and people, in 1678, aged 60.

OMAR I. furnamed Ebn Al Khattab, fucceffor of Abu Becr, was originally a violent oppofer of the Arabian prophet. Mohammed felt this oppofition, and regretted it; and it is faid by prayer effected the converfion of this his dangerous antagonist. Omar had no fooner read the 20th chapter of the Koran, than he was convinced; upon which he inftantly repaired to Mohammed and his followers, and declared his convertion. On the death of Abu Becr, who fucceeded the impoftor in the regal and pontifical dignities, Omar was raised to the throne. He conquered the Perfians, and Jerufalein fubmitted to his power; nor does he appear to have been checked in a fingle inftance. He was ftabbed by a perfon of the Magian fect while performing his devotions; and after languishing three days, died in the month of Dhu'lhajja, and 23d year of the Hegira, which began A.

OMBI, a city of ancient Egypt, afterwards called Arfinoe and Crocodilopolis, was the capital of one of the nomes into which that country was divided, and is remarkable, in the annals of idolatry, for the hatred of its inhabitants to the religion of their neighbours the citizens of Tentyra. The cities and nomes of Egypt being at one time prone to rebellion, and to enter into confpiracies against monarchical government, one of their mot politic kings contrived to introduce into the neighbouring nomes the worship of different animals; fo that, while each reverenced the deity which itfelf held facred, and despised that which its neighbours had confecrated, they could hardly be brought to join cordially in one common defign to the disturbance of the government. In this diftribution of gods, he conferred upon Ombi the crocodile, and upon Tentyra the mortal enemy of that monster, the ichneumon. The confequence was, that while the Ombites worshipped the crocodile, the Tentyrites took every opportunity of flaughtering him. Thus the mutual hatred of thofe cities, on account of their hoftile gods, rose to fuch a height, that whenever the inhabitants of the one were engaged in the more folemn rites of their religion, those of the other were fure to embrace the opportunity of fetting fire to their houfes, and doing them every injury in their power. And this animofity continued between the inhabitants of the two cities long after the crocodile and ichneumon had loft their divinity.

It was deftroyed by General Harmar, in 1790. thrown out. There are two forts of counters for ftakes, the greater and the leffer; the last having the fame proportion to the other as a penny to a fhilling of the greater counters each man ftakes one for the game; and one of the leffer for paffing for the hand, when eldeft, and for every card taken in. As to the order and value of the cards, the ace of spades, called Spadillo, is always the higheft trump, in whatsoever fuit the trump be; the manille, or black duce, is the fecond; and the bafto, or ace of clubs, is always the third: the next in order is the king, the queen, the knave, the feven, the fix, the five, four, and three. Of the black there are 11 trumps; of the red, 12. The leaft fmall cards of the red are always the beft, and the moft of the black; except the duce and red seven, both of which are called the manilles, and are always fecond when the red is a trump. The red ace, when a trump, enters into the fourth place, and is called punto; otherwife it is only called an ace. The three principal cards are called matadores; which have this privilege, that they are not obliged to attend an inferior trump when it leads; but for want of a small trump, the perfon may renounce trumps,,and play any other card; and when thefe are all in the fame hand, the others pay three of the greater counters a-piece; and, with these three for a foundation, he may count as many matadores as he has cards in an uninterrupted series of trumps; for all which the others are to pay one counter a-piece. He who hath the firft hand is called embre, and has his choice of playing the game, of naming the trump, and of taking in as many and as few cards as he pleases; and after him the fecond, &c. But if he does not name the trump before he looks on the cards he has taken in, any other may prevent him, by naming what trump he pleases. He that has the firft hand fhould neither take in, nor play, unless he has at leaft three fure tricks in his hand: for, as he wins the game who wins most tricks, he that can win five of the nine has a fure game; which is alfo the cafe if he wins four, and can fo divide the tricks as that one perfon may win two, and the other three. If a person plays without discarding or changing any cards, this is called playing fans prendre and if another wins more tricks than he, he is faid to vin codille. The overfights in the courfe of the game are called beafts. And if the ombre wins all the nine tricks, it is called winning the vole. In ombre by five, which many, on account of its not requiring fo close an attention, prefer to that by three, only eight cards a-piece are dealt; and five tricks must be won, otherwise the ombre is beafted. Here the person who un dertakes the game, after naming the trump, calls 2 king to his affiftance; upon which the perfon in whofe hand the king is, without difcovering himself, is to affift him as a partner, and to fhare bis fate. If, between both, they can make five tricks, the ombre wins two counters, and the auxiliary king only one; but when the counters are even, they divide them equally. If the ombre venture the game without calling in any king, this too is called playing fans prendre; in which cafe the other four are all against him, and he * OMEGA. n.

OMEN, in its proper sense, fignifies a fign or indication of some future event taken from the language of a person speaking without any intent to prophecy. Hence Tully fays, " the Pythagoreans attend to the discourse not only of gods, but also of men, which they call omens." This fort of omen was supposed to depend much upon the will of the perfon concerned in the event; whence the phrases accepit omen, arripuit omen. Such were the original "omens; but they were afterwards derived from things as well as from words. Thus Paterculus, fpeaking of the head of Sulpicius on the roftrum, fays, it was "the omen of an impending profcription." Suetonius fays of Auguftus, that he believed implicitly in certain omens; and that, " if his fhoes were improperly put on in the morning, especially if the left fhoe was put upon his right foot, he held it for a bad omen." Omen was used in a ftill larger fenfe, to fignify an augury; as in the following line of Tully: "Thus Jove confirmed the bright omen of the eagle." It was laftly used, in the moft generic fenfe of all, for a portent or prodigy; as in the 3d book of the Æneid, where a myrtle torn up by Æneas dropped blood. Upon this appearance, says the hero, Mute and amaz'd, my hair with terror ftood; Fear fhrunk my finews, and congeal'd my blood. And the fame thing being repeated upon his breaking a branch from another tree, he prayed to the gods to avert the omen. Thefe portentous or fupernatural omens were either external or internal. Of the former fort were those showers of blood fo frequently occurring in the Roman his tory, which were much of the fame nature with this adventure of Æneas, which he calls monftra deum. Of the ad fort were those fudden confternations, which, seizing upon men without any visible cause, were imputed to the agency of the god Pan, and hence called panic fears. But indeed there was hardly any thing, however trivial, from which the ancients did not draw omens. That it fhould have been thought a direful omen when any thing befel the temples, altars, or ftatues of the GODS, need excite no wonder; but that the meeting of an eunuch, a negro, a bitch with whelps, or a fnake lying in the road, should have been looked upon as portending bad fortune is a deplorable inftance of human weakness, and of the pernicious influence of superstition on the mind. It is probable that this practice of making ordinary events ominous of good or bad fortune took its rife in Egypt, the parent country of almoft every fuperftition of paganifm; but wherever it may have arifen, it spread itself over the whole inhabited globe, and still prevails in a greater or lefs degree among the vulgar of all nations. That paying any regard to omens, is contrary to every principle of found philofophy, all philofophers will readily acknowledge; and whoever has ftudied the writings of St Paul, must be convinced that it is inconfiftent with the spirit of genuine Chriftianity.

The corus or omer was moft commonly a measure for things dry; and the greatest that was used among the Jews. It contained, according to the rabbins, 10 ephahs or 30 fata or feahs.
