Pausanias Description of Greece 7.19.3

[3] The passionate-experiences [ pathēmata] of Melanippos, like those of many others, gave-proof [ epi-deixai] that passionate-love [ erōs] has a way of confusing [ sun-kheai] the customary-laws [ nomima] of humans [ anthrōpoi] and of turning-upside-down [ ana-trepsai] the acts-of-honor [ tīmai] that are due to the gods [ theoi]. That is what happened back then in this case as well. Right inside the sanctuary [ hieron] of Artemis, Komaitho and Melanippos had their fill of passionate-love [ erōs] in full swing. And, after that, they even got into the habit of using the sanctuary [ hieron] as a bridal-chamber [ thalamos]. In due time, the anger [ mēnīma] of Artemis began to destroy the humans [ anthrōpoi]. The earth yielded no harvest [ karpos], and there were diseases [ nosoi] quite out of the ordinary, since they resulted in an unaccountable number of deaths.
