For this Hera was angry and blinded him; but Zeus gave him the seer's power。

ENDNOTES:

(1)  sc。 Colophon。  Proclus in his abstract of the 〃Returns〃 (sc。      of the heroes from Troy) says Calchas and his party were      present at the death of Teiresias at Colophon; perhaps      indicating another version of this story。 (2)  ll。 1…2 are quoted by Athenaeus; ii。 p。 40; ll。 3…4 by      Clement of Alexandria; Stromateis vi。 2。 26。  Buttman saw      that the two fragments should be joined。  (NOTE: These two      fragments should be read together。  DBK)



AEGIMIUS (fragments)

Fragment #1  Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius; Arg。 iii。 587: But the author of the 〃Aegimius〃 says that he (Phrixus) was received without intermediary because of the fleece (1)。  He says that after the sacrifice he purified the fleece and so: ‘Holding the fleece he walked into the halls of Aeetes。'


Fragment #2  Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius; Arg。 iv。 816: The author of the 〃Aegimius〃 says in the second book that Thetis used to throw the children she had by Peleus into a cauldron of water; because she wished to learn where they were mortal。。。。 。。。。And that after many had perished Peleus was annoyed; and prevented her from throwing Achilles into the cauldron。


Fragment #3  Apollodorus; ii。 1。3。1: Hesiod and Acusilaus say that she (Io) was the daughter of Peiren。  While she was holding the office of priestess of Hera; Zeus seduced her; and being discovered by Hera; touched the girl and changed her into a white cow; while he swore that he had no intercourse with her。  And so Hesiod says that oaths touching the matter of love do not draw down anger from the gods: ‘And thereafter he ordained that an oath concerning the secret deeds of the Cyprian should be without penalty for men。'


Fragment #4  Herodian in Stephanus of Byzantium: ‘(Zeus changed Io) in the fair island Abantis; which the gods; who are eternally; used to call Abantis aforetime; but Zeus then called it Euboea after the cow。' (2)


Fragment #5  Scholiast on Euripides; Phoen。 1116: ‘And (Hera) set a watcher upon her (Io); great and strong Argus; who with four eyes looks every way。  And the goddess stirred in him unwearying strength: sleep never fell upon his eyes; but he kept sure watch always。'

Fragment #7  Athenaeus; xi。 p。 503: And the author of the 〃Aegimius〃; whether he is Hesiod or Cercops of Miletus (says): ‘There; some day; shall be my place of refreshment; O leader of the people。'


Fragment #8  Etym。 Gen。: Hesiod (says there were so called) because they settled in three groups: ‘And they all were called the Three…fold people; because they divided in three the land far from their country。'  For (he says) that three Hellenic tribes settled in Crete; the Pelasgi; Achaeans and Dorians。  And these have been called Three…fold People。


ENDNOTES:

(1)  sc。 the golden fleece of the ram which carried Phrixus and      Helle away from Athamas and Ino。  When he reached Colchis      Phrixus sacrificed the ram to Zeus。 (2)  Euboea properly means the ‘Island of fine Cattle (or Cows)'。

WORKS ATTRIBUTED TO HOMER



THE HOMERIC HYMNS

I。 TO DIONYSUS (21 lines) (1)

((LACUNA))

(ll。 1…9) For some say; at Dracanum; and some; on windy Icarus; and some; in Naxos; O Heaven…born; Insewn (2); and others by the deep…eddying river Alpheus that pregnant Semele bare you to Zeus the thunder…lover。  And others yet; lord; say you were born in Thebes; but all these lie。  The Father of men and gods gave you birth remote from men and secretly from white…armed Hera。  There is a certain Nysa; a mountain most high and richly grown with woods; far off in Phoenice; near the streams of Aegyptus。

((LACUNA))

(ll。 10…12) ‘。。。and men will lay up for her (3) many offerings in her shrines。  And as these things are three (4); so shall mortals ever sacrifice perfect hecatombs to you at your feasts each three years。'

(ll。 13…16) The Son of Cronos spoke and nodded with his dark brows。  And the divine locks of the king flowed forward from his immortal head; and he made great Olympus reel。  So spake wise Zeus and ordained it with a nod。

(ll。 17…21) Be favourable; O Insewn; Inspirer of frenzied women!  we singers sing of you as we begin and as we end a strain; and none forgetting you may call holy song to mind。  And so; farewell; Dionysus; Insewn; with your mother Semele whom men call Thyone。


II。 TO DEMETER (495 lines)

(ll。 1…3) I begin to sing of rich…haired Demeter; awful goddess  of her and her trim…ankled daughter whom Aidoneus rapt away; given to him by all…seeing Zeus the loud…thunderer。

(ll。 4…18) Apart from Demeter; lady of the golden sword and glorious fruits; she was playing with the deep…bosomed daughters of Oceanus and gathering flowers over a soft meadow; roses and crocuses and beautiful violets; irises also and hyacinths and the narcissus; which Earth made to grow at the will of Zeus and
