1.394-1.401

Now when they had taken careful heed to each thing, first they portioned out the benches by lot, two men being¹ told off to one bench, but the midmost bench, apart from the other heroes, did they select for Heracles and Ancæus, who dwelt in the citadel of Tegea. For them alone they left the middle seat, at once, without casting lots ; and with one accord they entrusted Tiphys to mind the helm of their ship with her good keel.

1.402-1.424

Next, hard by the sea, they raised a pile of shingle, and builded an altar there upon the strand to Apollo, naming it after him who holds the shore and favours those who go aboard. And quickly they laid thereon logs of dry olive; meantime, the herdsmen of the son of Æson drove before them from the herd two oxen ; these the young men of his crew dragged to the altar, while others then held the lustral water and meal for sprinkling nigh. And Jason called upon Apollo, the god of his fathers, and prayed, " Hearken, O king, who dwellest in Pagasæ and the city of Æson, that is called after my sire, thou who didst promise me when I sought to thee at Pytho to show me the accomplishment and end of my journey. For 'twas thou thyself that wast the cause of the enterprise. Do thou then bring my ship with my comrades safe and sound hither back to Hellas. Then in thy honour will we lay hereafter on thy altar noble sacrifices of bulls for all of us who shall return, and other gifts will I bring to Pytho, and others to Ortygia in count less number. Come then and receive this sacrifice at our hands, far-darting god ; which we have set before thee; a first gift, as an offering for our embarking on this ship; and may I loose my cables with a harmless destiny through²³ thy guidance, and may soft breezes blow, wherewith we may go in fair weather across the sea."

1.425-1.439

He spake, and, as he prayed, cast the barley-meal. And those twain, Ancæus the proud and Heracles, girt them selves to slay the steers. Now the one smote with his club the middle of the head about the forehead, and forthwith the ox lay fallen in a heap upon the earth. But Ancæus struck the other on his broad neck with a brazen axe and cleft the strong sinews, and down he tumbled, doubled up upon his horns. Quickly then their comrades cut the oxen's throats, and flayed their hides ; next broke them up and carved them, cutting out the sacred thighs, which they wrapped closely in fat all together and burnt upon firewood. Next the son of Æson poured pure libations; and Idmon was glad, when he saw the flame blaze up on every side from the sacrifice and the smoke thereof leaping up favour ably in dark-gleaming wreaths ; and forthwith he declared outright the will of the son of Leto.

1.440-1.447

" Lo! it is the will of heaven and your destiny to come hither again bringing the fleece with you, but countless toils meantime await you as you come and go. But for me 'tis fated to die by the hateful doom of a god, some where far away on Asia's strand. Even so came I forth from my fatherland, though I knew my doom a while ago from evil omens, that I might embark upon the ship, and fair fame be left me in my home for my embarking."

Now when they had carefully paid heed to everything, first they distributed the benches by lot, two men occupying one seat; but the middle bench they chose for Heracles and Ancaeus apart from the other heroes, Ancaeus who dwelt in Tegea. For them alone they left the middle bench just as it was and not by lot; and with one consent they entrusted Tiphys with guarding the helm of the well-stemmed ship.

1.402-1.410

Next, piling up shingle near the sea, they raised there an altar on the shore to Apollo, under the name of Actius¹ and Embasius, and quickly spread above it logs of dried olive-wood. Meantime the herdsmen of Aeson's son had driven before them from the herd two steers. These the younger comrades dragged near the altars, and the others brought lustral water and barley meal, and Jason prayed, calling on Apollo the god of his fathers:

1.411-1.424

"Hear, O King, that dwellest in Pagasae and the city Aesonis, the city called by my father's name, thou who didst promise me, when I sought thy oracle at Pytho, to show the fulfilment and goal of my journey, for thou thyself hast been the cause of my venture; now do thou thyself guide the ship with my comrades safe and sound, thither and back again to Hellas. Then in thy honour hereafter we will lay again on thy altar the bright offerings of bulls--all of us who return; and other gifts in countless numbers I will bring to Pytho and Ortygia. And now, come, Far-darter, accept this sacrifice at our hands, which first of all we have offered thee for this ship on our embarcation; and grant, O King, that with a prosperous weird I may loose the hawsers, relying on thy counsel, and may the breeze blow softly with which we shall sail over the sea in fair weather."

1.425-1.439

He spake, and with his prayer cast the barley meal. And they two girded themselves to slay the steers, proud Ancaeus and Heracles. The latter with his club smote one steer mid-head on the brow, and falling in a heap on the spot, it sank to the ground; and Ancaeus struck the broad neck of the other with his axe of bronze, and shore through the mighty sinews; and it fell prone on both its horns. Their comrades quickly severed the victims' throats, and flayed the hides: they sundered the joints and carved the flesh, then cut out the sacred thigh bones, and covering them all together closely with fat burnt them upon cloven wood. And Aeson's son poured out pure libations, and Idmon rejoiced beholding the flame as it gleamed on every side from the sacrifice, and the smoke of it mounting up with good omen in dark spiral columns; and quickly he spake outright the will of Leto's son:

1.440-1.447

"For you it is the will of heaven and destiny that ye shall return here with the fleece; but meanwhile both going and returning, countless trials await you. But it is my lot, by the hateful decree of a god, to die somewhere afar off on the mainland of Asia. Thus, though I learnt my fate from evil omens even before now, I have left my fatherland to embark on the ship, that so after my embarking fair fame may be left me in my house."

The Argonautica, translated by F. A. Fawkes (OCR draft) Experimental (F. A. Fawkes's English translation of Apollonius Rhodius.) — 1.394 focus

By lots on benches were the heroes plac'd,

And with two heroes every bench was grac'd,

On great Alcides, formidable name,

495

And on Ancæus, who from Tegea came,

With voice unanimous, the martial hoſt

Beſtow'd the centre's honourable poſt.

To watchful Tiphys was the helm aſſign'd,

To ſtem the waves, and catch the favouring wind.

500

This done, with stones beſide the ſhore which lay,

They rear'd an altar to the God of day,

Embaſian Phœbus, and the ſurface round

With the dry branches of an olive crown'd.

Meanwhile the herdſmen drove two beeves well fed

505

From Jaſon's ſtalls; youths to the altar led

The victims; ſome brought water from the lake;

Some the due offering of the ſalted cake.

Jaſon, while theſe the ſacrifice prepare,

Thus to his parent God prefers his pray'r:

510

'Patron of Pagaſæ, thine ear we claim,

Guard of the city grac'd with Æſon's name:

'When to conſult thine oracle I went,

'It promis'd to reveal this great event,

The final iſſue of our bold empriſe:

515

On thee, chief author, all our hope relies.

'Conduct my comrades to the far-fam'd Fleece,

Then ſafe restore them to the realms of Greece.

'And here I vow, whatever chiefs return,

So many bulls ſhall on thine altar burn;

520

'A ſacrifice at Delphos is decreed,

'And in Ortygia ſhall the victims bleed.

But now theſe humble offerings which we pay,

'Gracious accept, far-darting God of day.

'Be thou, O father, our auspicious guide,

525

'When hence we ſail acroſs the ſounding tide.

'Smooth the rough billows, and let breezes bland.

Propitious waft us to the Colchian land,"

Thus pray'd he ſuppliant, and prepar'd to make

The ſacred offering of the ſalted cake.

530

Alcides, fam'd for manly ſtrength and ſway,

And bold Ancæus roſe the beeves to ſlay.

Alcides' club impreſs'd a deadly wound

On the ſteer's front, and fell'd him to the ground.

Thy axe, Ancæus, at one ſturdy ſtroke,

535

The ſteer's ſkull fractur'd, and the neck-bone broke,

Down fell the victim, floundering with the blow,

Prone on his horns, and plough'd the ſand below.

The ready train, that round in order ſtood,

Stab the fallen beeves, and ſhed the life-warm blood;

540

Then from the body ſtrip the ſmoaking hide,

The beasts they quarter, and the joints divide;

The thighs devoted to the Gods they part,

On theſe the fat, involv'd in cawls, with art

They ſpread, and as the lambent flame devours,

545

The Grecian chief the pure libation pours.

Joy fill'd the breast of Idmon to behold,

How from the thighs the flame relucent roll'd

In purple volumes, and propitious ſmoke;

And thus the ſeer, inſpir'd by Phœbus, ſpoke:

550

Tho' various perils your attempt oppoſe,

'And toils unnumber'd bring unnumber'd woes;

Yet ſhall ye ſafe return, ye ſons of Greece,

'Adorn'd with conqueſt, and the golden Fleece.

'Me cruel Fate ordains on Aſia's ſhore

555

'To die, nor e'er behold my country more.

'And tho' my destiny long fix'd I knew,

Yet, ſtill reſolv'd, I join'd the martial crew;

Inflam'd with glory to the hoſt I came,

Of life regardless, emulous of fame,'

Their comrades quickly severed the victims' throats, and flayed the hides: they sundered the joints and carved the flesh, then cut out the sacred thigh bones, and covering them all together closely with fat burnt them upon cloven wood. And Aeson's son poured out pure libations, and Idmon rejoiced beholding the flame as it gleamed on every side from the sacrifice, and the smoke of it mounting up with good omen in dark spiral columns; and quickly he spoke outright the will of Leto's son:

1.440-1.447

"For you it is the will of heaven and destiny that you will return here with the fleece; but meanwhile both going and returning, countless trials await you. But it is my lot, by the hateful decree of a god, to die somewhere afar off on the mainland of Asia. Thus, though I learnt my fate from evil omens even before now, I have left my fatherland to embark on the ship, that so after my embarking fair fame may be left me in my house."

1.448-1.462

Commentary (Carolus Wendel, 1935/2026, translated by deepseek-v4-pro) (OCR draft) () focus

1-4a. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1

1-4a. Beginning: the participle is formed from a verb of encompassing sense. Encompassing verbs are those that indicate both action and passion, such as βιάζομαι, δωροῦμαι, σφαγιάζομαι. Thus also ἄρχομαι signifies on the one hand 'I make a beginning from you' — for it is customary to begin with the gods: 'let us begin from Zeus' (Arat. Phaen. 1; Theocr. XVII 1) —, and on the other hand it signifies 'being inspired by you', as if being filled with divine frenzy. For poets are said to be inspired like madmen. He uses the present participle ἀρχόμενος instead of ἀρξάμενος.

14. Ἥρης δὲ Πελασγίδος: Ὁμηρικῶς τὴν Ἥραν Πελασγίδα εἶπεν, ἐκ τῆς Θεσσαλικῆς χώρας. Πελασγοὶ γάρ εἰσιν, οἳ τὴν Φθιωτικὴν κατῴκουν, ὡς φησιν Ὅμηρος (Β 681): ‘νῦν αὖ τούς, ὅσσοι τὸ Πελασγικὸν Ἄργος ἔναιον’, ἀφορίζων τῆς Πελοποννήσου, ἣν Ἀχαϊκὸν

14. Ἥρης δὲ Πελασγίδος: In Homeric fashion he called Hera Pelasgian, from the Thessalian land. For the Pelasgians are those who inhabited Phthiotis, as Homer says (Β 681): ‘νῦν αὖ τούς, ὅσσοι τὸ Πελασγικὸν Ἄργος ἔναιον’, distinguishing it from the Peloponnese, which he calls Achaean Argos.

Pherecydes in the sixth book (3 fg 26 J.) says that Philammon, not Orpheus, sailed with them. He is, as Asclepiades (12 fg 6 c J.) says, the son of Apollo and Calliope; but some say of Oeagrus and Polymnia.

It is asked why Orpheus, being weak, sailed with the heroes; because Chiron, being a seer, prophesied that they would be able to pass the Sirens if Orpheus sailed with them.

40-41. And after them Larisa: He means Larisa in Thessaly, which Acrisius founded, and which was named after Larisa, daughter of Pelasgus, as Hellanicus says (4 fr. 91 J.). There are three Larisas: the oldest is the Argive one, which is the acropolis itself; the second is in the Pelasgian part of Thessaly, which Homer (B 738) calls Argissa, being near Gyrtone, which Apollonius now mentions; there is also one near Troy, which Homer (B 840f.) mentions: 'the tribes of Pelasgians, those who [dwelt in] Larisa'. Apollonius said that Polyphemus was the son of Elatus, but Socrates (fr. 10 M. IV 498) and Euphorion (fr. 87 Scheidw.) say he was the son of Poseidon. The Lapiths were named after Lapithes, son of Apollo and the nymph Stilbe.

57—64 a. Γυρτῶνα Κόρωνος: ἣν Ὅμηρός φησι (Β 738) ‘Γυρτώνην τε νέμοντο’. ἔστι δὲ πόλις Θεσσαλίας ἢ Περραιβίας, ὡς 〈Σου〉ίδας (fg 5 M. II 464), ὠνομάσθη δὲ ἀπὸ Γυρτώνης τῆς Φλεγύου. ὁ δὲ Κόρωνος υἱός ἐστι Καινέως. μεμύθευται δὲ ὁ Καινεὺς πρότερον
γεγονέναι γυνή, εἶτα Ποσειδῶνος αὐτῇ πλησιάσαντος μεταβληθῆναι εἰς ἄνδρα· τοῦτο γὰρ ἤτησε καὶ ἀτρωσίαν. ἤρισε δὲ καὶ Ἀπόλλωνι καὶ ἐνικήθη. καὶ ἐκέλευε τοὺς παριόντας ὀμνύναι εἰς τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ· ἔνθεν ἡ παροιμία ‘τὸ Καινέως δόρυ’. τινὲς δέ φασι Καινέα συμπλεῦσαι τοῖς Ἀργοναύταις, οὐ Κόρωνον· ὁ δὲ Ἀπολλώνιος παρὰ Πινδάρου
εἴληφε λέγοντος (fg 167 Schr.)· ‘ὁ δὲ χλωραῖς ἐλάτῃσι τυπεὶς ᾤχετο Καινεύς, σχίσας ὀρθῷ ποδὶ γᾶν.’ τοῦτο δὲ αὐτῷ συνέβη διὰ τὸ μήτε θύειν τοῖς θεοῖς μήτε εὔχεσθαι ἀλλ’ 〈ἢ〉 τῷ ἑαυτοῦ δόρατι· διὸ Ζεὺς ἐφορμᾷ αὐτῷ τοὺς Κενταύρους, οἵτινες κατὰ γῆν αὐτὸν ὠθοῦσιν.

57-64a. Gyrtone of Coronus: which Homer mentions (B 738) 'they dwelt in Gyrtone'. It is a city of Thessaly or Perrhaebia, as Suda says (fg 5 M. II 464), and it was named after Gyrtone, daughter of Phlegyas. Coronus is the son of Caeneus. The myth is that Caeneus was formerly a woman, and then after Poseidon had intercourse with her she was changed into a man; for she asked for this and for invulnerability. He also contended with Apollo and was defeated. And he used to make passers-by swear by his spear; hence the proverb 'the spear of Caeneus'. But some say that Caeneus sailed with the Argonauts, not Coronus; Apollonius took it from Pindar, who says (fg 167 Schr.): 'struck by green firs Caeneus went down, splitting the earth with upright foot.' This happened to him because he neither sacrificed to the gods nor prayed, but only to his own spear; therefore Zeus set the Centaurs upon him, who drove him into the ground.

To be destroyed: here δηωθῆναι is used in a rather novel sense for ‘to be ruined.’ The poet, as if grieving over the destruction of the heroes, exclaims in sequence: ‘as not for mortals.’ The sense is: there is no greatest evil which a man fails to encounter. Therefore it should be ἀπαυρεῖν with long alpha. Or: because no evil is greatest which would be grievous for men to experience, that is, to meet with.

And Theseus, having fallen in love with Helen, had Pirithous as his accomplice, while Pirithous, wishing to marry Persephone, necessarily had Theseus following him. And indeed, having descended through Taenarum and seated themselves on a certain rock, they were unable to rise again. But Heracles, later descending for Cerberus, rescued Theseus as one who had not gone down willingly, but left Pirithous, since he had gone down by his own choice. And the Dioscuri marched against Troezen because of their sister while Theseus was in Hades, and having sacked it, they took captive Aethra, the mother of Theseus.

When an ox was sacrificed to him, a serpent crawled up beside the victim, and the king's servants killed it; the king was angered, and Melampus took it and buried it, and its offspring, reared by him, licked his ears and breathed into him the art of prophecy. Therefore, when he was caught stealing the cattle of Iphiclus, he was bound, and when the house in which Iphiclus was was about to fall, he revealed it to the old woman among the servants, and for this favor he was released by Iphiclus.

“recently,” but with acute on the ultima, “the earth.” The sequence of thought is as follows: when he heard that the Argonauts were about to sail, having recently passed through Argos, along which road he was bringing the boar alive from Mount Erymanthus, where it grazed in the glens of Lampeia and Erymanthus, he came to Jason. Lampeia is a mountain of Arcadia, from which the river Erymanthus has its springs.

Idmon, as Pherecydes (3 FGrH 108 J.) relates, was the child of Asteria, daughter of Coronus, and Apollo; from him and Laothoe came Thestor; and from Thestor, Calchas. Idmon was killed in Mariandynia by a boar. That Idmon was the son of Abas, Herodorus (31 FGrH 44 J.) also says.

And he has spoken from the country, as if someone calls the Syracusan Sicilian or the Roman Italian. But Ibycus (fr. 41 B. III 249) calls her Pleuronian, and Hellanicus (4 fr. 119 J.) Calydonian. Leda was the daughter of Thestius, king of Aetolia, son of Ares and Demodice; and they say her mother was Deidamia. Eumelus (fr. 6 Kink. 191) in his Corinthiaca says that her father was Glaucus, son of Sisyphus, and her mother Panteidyia,

recounting that when his horses perished, Glaucus came to Lacedaemon and there had intercourse with Panteidyia; later she married Thestius, so that Leda, though by birth Glaucus' daughter, was called Thestius' daughter. Pherecydes in the second book (3 fr. 9 J.) says that Leda and Althaea were born to Thestius from Laophonte, daughter of Pleuron. That she is Glaucus' daughter, Alcman (fr. 8 B. III 17) also hints, saying 'whom the blessed daughter of Glaucus bore'. They say that Polydeuces was son of Zeus, and Castor son of Tyndareus. 'Telygetous' here means 'beloved', but Homer uses it for those born in old age.

From Arene: Pherecydes (3 fr. 127 J.) says that the mother of Idas and his brothers was Arene, after whom the city is named; Pisander (16 fr. 2 J.) says Polydora; Theocritus (XXII 206) says Laocoosa. These men were contemporaries of the Dioscuri. Arene is a city of the Peloponnese near Pylos; and Homer (B 591): 'and they dwelt in Pylos and lovely Arene'.

156-60a. And with them Periclymenus: that Periclymenus was the son of Neleus is clear. For the poet says (Od. 11.286): 'Nestor and Chromius and lordly Periclymenus.' Poseidon, as his descendant—for Neleus was the son of Poseidon—both adorned him among the others and granted him the ability to change into all things, as Euphorion also says (fr. 74 Scheidw.): 'who was like to all things, a sea-creature like Proteus.'

Heracles killed him when he had changed into a fly in the war against the Pylians, striking him with his club on the advice of Athena, 〈...〉 stuck like a bee with its sting. But Hesiod (fr. 14 Rz.²) says that he changed into one of his customary forms and sat upon the navel of the yoke of Heracles' horses, wishing to engage in battle with the hero, and that Heracles shot him fatally with an arrow when Athena pointed him out. He speaks thus: 'and lordly Periclymenus, blessed, to whom Poseidon the Earth-shaker gave gifts of all kinds: at one time he would appear among birds as an eagle, at another he would become—a wonder to behold—an ant, at another the splendid tribes of bees, at another a dread and pitiless serpent. He had gifts of all kinds, not to be named, which later deceived him by the counsel of Athena.'

For Aleus is said to be the son of Apheidas, son of Arcas, from whom the land is called Arcadia. Apheidas, son of Arcas, an ancient hero, ruled over Tegea.

Homer also mentions this Lycurgus (H 142–45): ‘τὸν Λυκόοργος — ὑποφθὰς δουρὶ μέσον περόνησε’. And a festival called Moleia is held among the Arcadians, because Lycurgus, having lain in ambush during the battle, captured Ereuthalion; for molos means battle.

Miletus, from whom the city Miletus is named, was the son of Euxantius, son of Minos; but some say he was the son of Apollo and Areia, daughter of Cleochus. He was called Miletus because he was hidden by his mother in a milax (yew). Others say that Miletus was founded by Sarpedon, son of Zeus, and named after the city in Crete. They say it was first called Pityussa, others Asteria, then Anactoria, then Miletus. And Aristocritus (fg 1 M. IV 334) says,

²⁰¹²⁰²²⁰³²⁰⁴

185-88a_cont. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-112

That Areia was the daughter of Cleochus, and from her and Apollo a child was born, and this child was exposed in a milax, and Cleochus took him up and named him Miletus from the milax. When he grew up and was envied by Minos, he withdrew to Samos, from which also a place there is called Miletus. And moving from Samos to Caria he founded a city, calling it Miletus after himself. Herodorus (31 fg 45 J.) bears witness.

c. 〈Parthenian〉 Ancaeus: Aristotle (fr. 530 Rose) says, applying the proverb to Ancaeus, that Ancaeus was fond of farming and planted many vines. When his servant told him that he would die sooner than drink from the fruit of the vine, Ancaeus, when the fruit was ripe, crushed a grape, called the servant, and said that he had lived until the vine bore fruit, and was about to drink. But when the servant said, 'Many things happen between the cup and the lip,' it was reported to him that a boar was ravaging the land; he rushed out against it before drinking and was killed by it. Therefore the proverb prevailed for those who suffer something contrary to expectation. And Pherecydes in the eighth book (3 fr. 36 J.) says that Ancaeus was struck in the thigh by the Calydonian boar and died.

Phanodicus in the first book of his Deliaca (fr. 1 M. IV 473) says that they came from the Hyperboreans for the voyage. Simonides (fr. 3 B.

Stesichorus in the Geryoneis (fr. 10 B. III 210) says that there is also a certain island in the Atlantic sea called Sarpedonia. Concerning the Thracian Sarpedonian rock, that it is near Mount Haemus, Pherecydes (3 FGrH 145 J.) says, when relating the abduction of Orithyia. Choerilus (fr. 5 Kink.) says that she was snatched while gathering flowers by the springs of Cephisus. Heragoras in his Megarica (fr. 4 M. IV 427) says that the one who snatched Orithyia was Boreas, son of Strymon, not the wind. Orithyia was the daughter of Erechtheus, whom Boreas snatched from Attica and brought to Thrace, and there he lay with her and fathered Zetes and Calais, as Simonides says in the Naumachia (see above). 〈...〉 Phineus first married Cleopatra, daughter of Orithyia, and afterwards Idaea, daughter of Dardanus, who, being hostile to the stepchildren, I mean the sons of Cleopatra, tried to blind them. But they, because their father blinded them after their stepmother slandered them to him.

He took Peleus hunting on Pelion and left him unarmed, so that he would be killed by wild beasts. But Hermes appeared, or, as some say, Chiron, and gave him a Hephaestus-made knife. Killing the beasts he encountered, he returned to the city and killed Acastus himself and Acastus' wife.

But if Pelias was sending them into danger, why did his son go along? And this one says, against his father's will; but Demagetus says that Pelias ordered the Argo to be built with loose bolts, so that it would quickly destroy them; but Argus did the opposite, and Acastus, trusting the builder, went aboard.

This very thing was destined to become an evil for Alcimede, since her son was sent there. The story is found in Hecataeus (1 fr. 17 J.), that the ram spoke. But some say that he sailed on a ram-prowed vessel. Dionysius in his second book (32 fr. 2b J.) says that Crius was Phrixus' foster-father and sailed with him to Colchis; for this reason the story of the ram's sacrifice there was mythologized.

But we shall say that Jason is appropriately placed not according to age, but according to the care of his mother—for the old woman rears the maiden—, as the mother is suited both to helplessness because of age—for old age and tender age are alike—and to needing someone to nourish her.

305. κεῖσε δ’ ὁμαρτήσουσιν ἔται: they will go together to Scythia. And they say that "to meet together" is "to accompany." ἔται is used for ἑταῖροι (companions). [It is not] a synonymous word, but it is formed by apocope.

It is formed. Homer first used it, saying (Π 456) "brothers and kinsmen." Therefore it is also for the most part expressed in full (ε 141): "for I have no ships with oars and companions."

b. ἠὲ Κλάρον: a place in Colophon consecrated to Apollo and having an oracle of the god, founded by Manto, daughter of Teiresias, or by a certain hero Clarus, as Theopompus (115 FGrH 346 J.) says. Neanthes (84 FGrH 42 J.) says that Apollo obtained the city by lot and that it was named from the lot (κλῆρος); or because there Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades cast lots. The authors of the Thebaid (Epigonoi fr. 4 Kink.) say that Manto, daughter of Teiresias, was sent to Delphi as an offering by the Epigoni, and in accordance with an oracle of Apollo she went out and met Rhacius, son of Lebes, a Mycenaean by descent. And she married him—for the oracle contained this, that she should marry whomever she met—and coming to Colophon and being distressed there, she wept because of the destruction of her fatherland. Therefore the place was named Clarus from her tears (κλάρα). She built a temple to Apollo. It is also said that

308b_cont. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-215

a spring gushed forth from the tears of Manto at Claros. And Rhacius was so named because of his poverty and wretched clothing. 〈He is also called Lacius;〉 for λ is akin to ρ, as in ὑδρηλοί for ὑδρηροί.

The sense is this: having known beforehand from evil omens my own fate, I went out from my homeland, so that by sailing with you I might win renown. L
