[4] When everything had been prepared for the sacrifice according to the oracle from Dodona, the girl was led like a victim to the altar. Koresos stood ready to sacrifice, when, his resentment giving way to love, he slew himself in place of Kallirhoe. He thus proved in deed that his love was more genuine than that of any other man we know.
