Notes on the current edition

Library

1. See above, Apollod. 1.9.21 ; Ap. Rhod., Argon. i.211ff., ii.273ff. ; Scholiast on Hom. Od. xiv.533 ; Scholiast on Soph. Ant. 981 ; Hyginus, Fab. 14, pp. 42ff., ed. Bunte ; Ov. Met. 6.711ff. ; Serv. Verg. A. 3.209 . According to Hyginus, their wings were attached to their feet, and their hair was sky-blue. Elsewhere ( Hyginus, Fab. 19 ) he describes them with wings on their heads as well as on their feet. Ovid says that they were twins, and that they did not develop wings until their beards began to grow; according to him, the pinions sprouted from their sides in the usual way.
2. This is the version adopted by Ap. Rhod., Argon. i.1298-1308 , who tells us that when Zetes and Calais were returning from the funeral games of Pelias, Herakles killed them in Tenos because they had persuaded the Argonauts to leave him behind in Mysia; over their grave he heaped a barrow, and on the barrow he set up two pillars, one of which shook at every breath of the North Wind, the father of the two dead men. The slaughter of Zetes and Calais by Herakles is mentioned by Hyginus, Fab. 14, p. 43, ed. Bunte .
