[6] Opposite stories are also told of Hesiod’s death. All agree that Ctimenus and Antiphus, the sons of Ganyctor, fled from Naupaktos to Molycria because of the murder of Hesiod, that here they sinned against Poseidon, and that in Molycria their punishment was inflicted. The sister of the young men had been ravished; some say the deed was Hesiod’s, and others that Hesiod was wrongly thought guilty of another’s crime. So widely different are the traditions of Hesiod himself and his poems.
