Library

1. As to Procris, see below, Apollod. 3.15.1 .
2. Compare Tzetzes, Scholiast on Lycophron 932 . For the similar story of Nisus and his daughter Megara, see below, Apollod. 3.15.8 .
3. In the sanctuary of Ismenian Apollo at Thebes, the historian Herodotus saw a tripod bearing an inscription in “Cadmean letters,” which set forth that the vessel had been dedicated by Amphitryon from the spoils of the Teleboans. See Hdt. 5.59 . Among the booty was a famous goblet which Poseidon had given to his son Teleboes, and which Teleboes had given to Pterelaus. See Athenaeus xi.99, p. 498 C ; Plaut. Amph. 256ff. For the expedition of Amphitryon against the Teleboans or Taphians, see also Strab. 10.2.20 ; Paus. 1.37.6 ; Plaut. Amph. 183-256 .
