Because of this <a href="/people/25" target="_blank">Neptune</a> sent a sea-monster to plague <a about="https://topostext.org/place/400262UIli" class="place" long="26.2389" lat="39.9575">Troy</a>, and for this reason the king sent to <a href="/people/2" target="_blank">Apollo</a> for advice. <a href="/people/2" target="_blank">Apollo</a> angrily replied that if <a about="https://topostext.org/place/400262UIli" class="demonym" long="26.2389" lat="39.9575">Trojan</a> maidens were bound and offered to the monster, there would be an end to the plague. When many girls had been devoured, and the lot fell on <a href="/people/1581" target="_blank">Hesione</a>, and she was bound to the rocks, <a href="/people/4" target="_blank">Hercules</a> and <a href="/people/258" target="_blank">Telamon</a> came there, the <a href="/people/461" target="_blank">Argonauts</a> being on their way to <a about="https://topostext.org/place/431423RCol" class="place" long="42.28" lat="42.12">Colchis</a>, and killed the monster. They delivered <a href="/people/1581" target="_blank">Hesione</a> to her father on condition that when they returned they should take her with them to their country, as well as the <a href="/people/10959" target="_blank">horses</a> which walk over water standing ears of grain. <a href="/people/1277" target="_blank">Laomedon</a> defaulted in this, too, and refused to give up <a href="/people/1581" target="_blank">Hesione</a>. <a href="/people/1277" target="_blank">Laomedon</a> defaulted in this, too, and refused to give up <a href="/people/1581" target="_blank">Hesione</a>.

He attacked their town, <a about="https://topostext.org/place/410254UIsm" class="place" long="25.37" lat="40.96">Ismarus</a>, and distributed the spoils among his comrades. From there he went to the <a href="/people/12133" target="_blank">Lotus Eaters</a>, quite good men, whose custom it was to eat the lotus, a flower growing from the leaves. This food was so sweet that those who tasted it would forget to return home. Two men sent to them by <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>, on tasting the plants they gave, forgot to return to the ships. He bound them and brought them back himself. From there he went to the <a href="/people/350" target="_blank">Cyclops</a> <a href="/people/882" target="_blank">Polyphemus</a>, son of Neptune, to whom a prophecy had been given by the augur <a href="/people/4704" target="_blank">Telemus</a>, son of <a href="/people/19386" target="_blank">Eurymus</a>, that he should beware of being blinded by <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>. He had one eye in the middle of his forehead, and feasted on human flesh. After he drove his flock back into the cave he would place a great stone weight at the door. He shut <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> and his comrades within, and started to devour the men. When <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> saw that he could not cope with his size and ferocity, he made him drunk with the wine he had received from <a href="/people/1188" target="_blank">Maron</a>, and said that he was called <a href="/people/2905" target="_blank">Noman</a>. And so, when <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> was burning out his eye with a glowing stake, he summoned the other <a href="/people/350" target="_blank">Cyclopes</a> with is cries, and called to them from the closed cave, "<a href="/people/2905" target="_blank">Noman</a> in blinding me!" They thought he was speaking in sport, and did not heed. But <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> tied his comrades to the <a href="/people/10954" target="_blank">sheep</a> and himself to the ram, and in this way they got out. He came to <a href="/people/12918" target="_blank">Aeolus</a>, son of <a href="/people/1732" target="_blank">Hellen</a>, to whom control of the winds had been given by <a href="/people/1" target="_blank">Jove</a>. He welcomed <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> hospitably, and gave him as a gift a bag full of winds. But his comrades took it, thinking it to be gold and silver, and when they wished to divide it, they opened the bag secretly, and the winds rushed out. He was carried again to <a href="/people/12918" target="_blank">Aeolus</a>, who cast him out because the divinity of the gods seemed hostile to him. He came to the <a href="/people/10942" target="_blank">Laestrygonians</a>, whose king was <a href="/people/17662" target="_blank">Antiphates</a> . . . Some he devoured and shattered eleven of his ships, with the exception of the one in which <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> escaped when his comrades had been lost. He came to the island of <a about="https://topostext.org/place/408139IPit" class="place" long="13.883" lat="40.755">Aenaria</a>, to <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a>, daughter of <a href="/people/180" target="_blank">Sol</a>, who, by giving a potion, used to change men into wild beasts. When he sent <a href="/people/904" target="_blank">Eurylochus</a> to her with twenty-two of his men, she changed them from human form; but <a href="/people/904" target="_blank">Eurylochus</a> in fear did not enter, but fled and reported to <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>. <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> himself alone went to her, but on the way <a href="/people/33" target="_blank">Mercury</a> gave him a charm, and showed him how to deceive <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a>. After he came to <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a> and took the cup from her, at <a href="/people/33" target="_blank">Mercury</a>'s suggestion he put in the charm, and drew his sword, threatening to kill her unless she restored his comrades. Then <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a> knew that this had not happened without the will of the gods, and so, promising that she would not do the like to him, she restored his comrades to their earlier forms. She herself lay with him, conceived, and bore two sons, <a href="/people/3109" target="_blank">Nausithous</a> and <a href="/people/15727" target="_blank">Telegonus</a>. From there he set out for Lake <a about="https://topostext.org/place/408141WAve" class="place" long="14.0822" lat="40.8393">Avernus</a>, descended into the Lower World, and found there his comrade <a href="/people/2515" target="_blank">Elpenor</a>, whom he had left behind at <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a>'s. He asked <a href="/people/2515" target="_blank">Elpenor</a> how he had come there, and <a href="/people/2515" target="_blank">Elpenor</a> replied that in his drunkenness he had fallen down the ladder and broken his neck. He begged him to give him burial when he returned to the upper world, and place his oar on his grave. There he also spoke to his mother, <a href="/people/13512" target="_blank">Anticlia</a>, about the end of his journey. Then he returned to the upper world, buried <a href="/people/2515" target="_blank">Elpenor</a>, and fixed the oar on his tomb as he had asked. Next he came to the <a href="/people/605" target="_blank">Sirens</a>, daughters of the <a href="/people/54" target="_blank">Muse</a> <a href="/people/2956" target="_blank">Melpomene</a> and <a about="https://topostext.org/place/383211WAch" class="place" long="21.1067" lat="38.3388">Achelous</a>, women in the upper parts of their bodies but bird below. It was their fate to live only so long as mortals who heard their song failed to pass by. <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>, instructed by <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a>, daughter of <a href="/people/180" target="_blank">Sol</a>, stopped up the ears of his comrades with wax, had himself bound to the wooden mast, and thus sailed by. From there he came to <a href="/people/10625" target="_blank">Scylla</a>, daughter of <a href="/people/233" target="_blank">Typhon</a>, who was woman above, but fish from the hips down, with six <a href="/people/10953" target="_blank">dogs</a> joined to her body. She snatched and devoured six men from <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>' ship. He had come to the island of <a about="https://topostext.org/place/376145RSic" class="place" long="14.5" lat="37.6">Sicily</a> to the sacred herds of <a href="/people/180" target="_blank">Sol</a>, but their flesh lowed when his comrades cooked it in a brazen kettle. He had been warned by <a href="/people/468" target="_blank">Tiresias</a> and by <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a>, too, not to touch them, and as a result he lost many comrades there. Borne on to <a about="https://topostext.org/place/382156WCha" class="place" long="15.606" lat="38.248">Charybdis</a>, who three times a day sucked down the water and three times belched it up, by <a href="/people/468" target="_blank">Tiresias</a>' warning he passed by. But <a href="/people/180" target="_blank">Sol</a> was angry because his herd had been harmed. (When <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> had come to the island, and at <a href="/people/468" target="_blank">Tiresias</a>' warning forbade anyone's touching the herd, his comrades seized some <a href="/people/10978" target="_blank">cattle</a> while he slept; as they were cooking them the flesh lowed from the brazen kettle.) For his reason <a href="/people/1" target="_blank">Jove</a> struck his ship with a thunderbolt and burned it Wandering from this, his comrades lost in the shipwreck, he swam to the island of <a about="https://topostext.org/place/411127IKir" class="place" long="12.75" lat="41.1">Aeaea</a>, where the nymph <a href="/people/829" target="_blank">Calypso</a>, daughter of <a href="/people/190" target="_blank">Atlas</a>, lived. She enamoured of the handsome form of <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>, kept him a whole year, and was unwilling to release him until <a href="/people/33" target="_blank">Mercury</a>, by <a href="/people/1" target="_blank">Jove</a>'s command, bade her release him. When a raft had been made there, <a href="/people/829" target="_blank">Calypso</a> sent him off with an abundance of provisions, but <a href="/people/25" target="_blank">Neptune</a> shattered the raft with his waves because he had blinded his son, the <a href="/people/350" target="_blank">Cyclops</a>. While he was being tossed about by the waves, <a href="/people/16738" target="_blank">Leucothoe</a>, who we call <a href="/people/18560" target="_blank">Mater Matuta</a>, who lives forever in the sea, gave him her girdle to bind around his chest, to buoy him up. When he had done this, he swam to safety. From there he came to the island of the <a href="/people/629" target="_blank">Phaeacians</a>, and hid his nakedness under the leaves of trees. There <a href="/people/1410" target="_blank">Nausicaa</a>, daughter of King <a href="/people/10603" target="_blank">Alcinous</a>, brought garments to the stream to wash. He crept out from the leaves and begged help from her. Moved by pity, she gave him a mantle, and led him to her father. <a href="/people/10603" target="_blank">Alcinous</a> welcomed him with generous hospitality, honoured him with gifts, and sent him to his country, <a about="https://topostext.org/place/383204UIth" class="place" long="20.643" lat="38.453">Ithaca</a>. By <a href="/people/33" target="_blank">Mercury</a>'s wrath, he was shipwrecked again. After the twentieth year, with the loss of his comrades, he returned alone to his country. On reaching his home, unrecognized, he found suitors who sought to marry <a href="/people/264" target="_blank">Penelope</a> occupying his palace, so he pretended to be a stranger. But his nurse <a href="/people/1559" target="_blank">Euryclia</a>, while bathing his feet, recognized him as <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> by a scar. Later, with the help of <a href="/people/11" target="_blank">Minerva</a>, he and his son <a href="/people/147" target="_blank">Telemachus</a> and two servants killed the suitors with arrows. </p> </div> <div class="text-right bottommargin-sm"> Event Date: -1000 <a href='http://latin.packhum.org/loc/1263/1/0' target='_blank'>LA</a> </div> <div class="pSelector" id=126> <p id='urn:cts:latinLit:phi1263.phi001:126'><b>§ 126</b>  RECOGNITION OF ULYSSES: After <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> had been sent away with gifts by King <a href="/people/10603" target="_blank">Alcinous</a>, father of <a href="/people/1410" target="_blank">Nausicaa</a>, he was shipwrecked and came naked to <a about="https://topostext.org/place/383204UIth" class="place" long="20.643" lat="38.453">Ithaca</a> to a certain house where a man, <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> by name, was a sybotes, that is a swineherd. Although the <a href="/people/10953" target="_blank">dog</a> recognized him and fawned upon him, <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> did not know him, since <a href="/people/11" target="_blank">Minerva</a> had changed his appearance and attire. <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> asked him where he came from, and he replied that he had been shipwrecked. When the shepherds questioned him whether he had seen <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>, he said he was his comrade, and gave signs and proofs. Soon <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> took him into his house, and revived him with food and drink. When the servants, sent as usual to bring in the flocks, had come, and he had asked <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> who they were, <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> said: "After <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> left, when some time had intervened, suitors came to ask for <a href="/people/264" target="_blank">Penelope</a> in marriage. She kept putting them off with this condition — 'When I finish this weaving, I shall marry' — but what she wove in the day, she unravelled at night, and so she put them off. But now they feast with the maid-servants of <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> and waste his flocks." Then <a href="/people/11" target="_blank">Minerva</a> restored his former appearance to him. Suddenly the swineherd saw it was <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>, and clinging to him and embracing him, he wept for joy, and wondering what it was that had changed him. <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> said to him: "Tomorrow take me to the palace to <a href="/people/264" target="_blank">Penelope</a>." When he took him there, <a href="/people/11" target="_blank">Minerva</a> again changed his appearance to that of a beggar, and when <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> took him to the wooers, and they were feasting with the hand-maids, he said to them: "Look! You have another beggar, who will amuse you along with <a href="/people/1550" target="_blank">Irus</a>." Then <a href="/people/921" target="_blank">Melanthius</a>, one of the suitors, said: "Yes, let them wrestle and the victor will get a stuffed <a href="/people/10956" target="_blank">goat</a>'s-belly pudding, and a cane to drive away the loser." When they had wrestled and <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> had struck <a href="/people/1550" target="_blank">Irus</a> and driven him out, <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> led <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> in beggar's disguise to his nurse <a href="/people/1559" target="_blank">Euryclia</a>, and told her he was a comrade of <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a>. When she wished . . . was going [to cry out], <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> held his hand over her lips, and warned her, and told <a href="/people/264" target="_blank">Penelope</a> to give his bow and arrows to the suitors, saying that whoever of them drew it, could have her as a wife. When she did this . . . they strove among themselves and no one could draw it, <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> said in ridicule: "Let us give . . . " <a href="/people/921" target="_blank">Melanthius</a> did not permit . . . <a href="/people/14796" target="_blank">Eumaeus</a> gave the bow to the old man. He transfixed all the suitors except <a href="/people/921" target="_blank">Melanthius</a> the slave; he was seized, apart from the suitors, and nose, arms, and other parts of his body were cut in bits. So <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> obtained his palace and his wife. He bade his handmaids cast their bodies into the sea, and later, at <a href="/people/264" target="_blank">Penelope</a>'s request, after the death of the suitors, he punished them, too. </p> </div> <div class="text-right bottommargin-sm"> Event Date: -1000 <a href='http://latin.packhum.org/loc/1263/1/0' target='_blank'>LA</a> </div> <div class="pSelector" id=127> <p id='urn:cts:latinLit:phi1263.phi001:127'><b>§ 127</b>  TELEGONUS: <a href="/people/15727" target="_blank">Telegonus</a>, son of <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> and <a href="/people/245" target="_blank">Circe</a>, sent by his mother to find his father, by a storm was carried to <a about="https://topostext.org/place/383204UIth" class="place" long="20.643" lat="38.453">Ithaca</a>, and there, driven by hunger, began to lay waste the fields. <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> and <a href="/people/147" target="_blank">Telemachus</a>, not knowing who he was, took up arms against him. <a href="/people/18" target="_blank">Ulysses</a> was killed by his son <a href="/people/15727" target="_blank">Telegonus</a>; it had been told him by an oracle to beware of death at his son's hands. <a href="/people/15727" target="_blank">Telegonus</a> on discovering who he was, with <a href="/people/147" target="_blank">Telemachus</a> and <a href="/people/264" target="_blank">Penelope</a> returned to his home on the island of <a about="https://topostext.org/place/411127IKir" class="place" long="12.75" lat="41.1">Aeaea</a> by <a href="/people/11" target="_blank">Minerva</a>'s instructions.

When the guards found him armed, they led him to the King. On being questioned, he said he wanted to kill the King. The King gave orders that he be crucified, but <a href="/people/4213" target="_blank">Moeros</a> begged for a delay of three days, in order to arrange his sister's marriage, saying that he would give the tyrant his friend and companion <a href="/people/5965" target="_blank">Seluntius</a> as a pledge that he would come on the third day.

When he was hidden, he asked <a href="/people/945" target="_blank">Aristogiton</a> to go out and bring back to him any rumors about his mother. He reported that there were no rumors. Thus until evening they carried on the strife, each one trying to force on the other more convincing proofs, nor did <a href="/people/945" target="_blank">Aristogiton</a> wish to reproach him with having killed his mother. <a href="/people/13915" target="_blank">Harmodius</a> revealed to him that he had killed a <a href="/people/10951" target="_blank">pig</a> with young, and so had used the word "mother"; he told him that he wanted to kill the King, and asked him to be his accomplice. When they came to kill the King, they were seized with arms upon them by guards. When led to the tyrant, <a href="/people/945" target="_blank">Aristogiton</a> escaped the guards, and <a href="/people/13915" target="_blank">Harmodius</a> alone was brought before the King.

For the <a about="https://topostext.org/place/380237PAth" class="ethnic" long="23.72793" lat="37.9718">Athenians</a> forbade slaves and women to learn the art of medicine. A certain girl, <a href="/people/20056" target="_blank">Hagnodice</a>, a virgin desired to learn medicine, and since she desired it, she cut her hair, and in male attire came to a certain <a href="/people/2884" target="_blank">Herophilus</a> for training. When she had learned the art, and had heard that a woman was in labor, she came to her. And when the woman refused to trust herself to her, thinking that she was a man, she removed her garment to show that she was a woman, and in this way she treated women. When the doctors saw that they were not admitted to women, they began to accuse <a href="/people/20056" target="_blank">Hagnodice</a>, saying that "he" was a seducer and corruptor of women, and that the women were pretending to be ill.

Then the doctors began to accuse her more vigorously, and as a result the leading women came to the Court and said: "You are not husbands, but enemies, because you condemn her who discovered safety for us." Then the <a about="https://topostext.org/place/380237PAth" class="ethnic" long="23.72793" lat="37.9718">Athenians</a> amended the law, so that free-born women could learn the art of medicine. <a href="/people/3293" target="_blank">Perdix</a>, son of <a href="/people/310" target="_blank">Daedalus</a>' sister, invented the compass, and also the saw from the spine of a fish. <a href="/people/310" target="_blank">Daedalus</a>, son of <a href="/people/3744" target="_blank">Eupalamus</a>, first made statues of the gods. <a href="/people/20235" target="_blank">Oannes</a>, who in <a href="/people/1042" target="_blank">Chaldaea</a> is said to have come from the sea, interpreted astrology.

Thus the trumpet is called the <a about="https://topostext.org/place/430105RTyr" class="demonym" long="10.5" lat="43">Tyrrhenian</a> melody.
