Addressed to Cynthia COAN CLOTHINGSilks from the island of Cos were known for their fine transparency. ORONTEANfrom the Orontes river in Syria. PHOEBE, HILAIRAdaughters of Leucippus, king of Messenia. Castor and Pollux carried them off and married them. DAUGHTER OF EUENUSMarpessa, who was carried off by Idas. Later, Apollo tried to wrest Marpessa from Idas, and Jupiter allowed her to choose between the two. She chose the mortal, knowing she could grow old with him, while the god would tire of her. HIPPODAMIAOenomaus, King of Elis, ordered all suitors of his daughter Hippodamia to compete with him in a chariot race. The winner would gain Hippodamia's hand, the losers be put to death. Pelops comes from Phrygia and convinces the King's groom to remove the linchpin from his master's axle. Oenomaus is killed, and Pelops gains the kingdom as well as a bride, thereby initiating the Peloponnesian dynasty. APELLESpainter of the fourth century B.C. from Cos, famous for his use o

s, Dionysus, god of wine and revelry. ARGUShundred-eyed creature commanded by Juno to guard Io, Inachus' daughter, after Jupiter had an affair with her. Juno had been sleeping; Jupiter went down to earth, placed a cloud overhead, and began havinJupiter went down to earth, placed a cloud overhead, and began having sex with Io. Juno awoke, saw the suspicious cloud and zoomed down, whisking the cloud aside. Jupiter, seeing the cloud gone, quickly changes his love object into a heifer. Juno, suspicious, orders Argus to guard the animal. One day Io confJupiter, seeing the cloud gone, quickly changes his love object into a heifer. Juno, suspicious, orders Argus to guard the animal. One day Io confesses to Argus, and Argus tells Juno. Then Mercury comes, puts Argus to sleep and beheads him with a great blow of his sword. He sets Io free, but Juno sends an enormous gadfly to follow and sting Io. Tormented, Io jumps into the sea—henceforth the Ionian Sea—and swims to Egypt, where Jupiter transforms her back into a woman. It is very strange that Propertius would compare himself to the ugly, horrible Argus; possibly the amount of Bacchus he had imbibed gave him Arguslike v

marriage for a certain sum, payable to her father. Ixion having got Dia, refuses to pay; father harrasses Ixion; Ixion kills father. Brought in judgement before Jupiter, Ixion pleads so well he has convinced Jupiter, when Jupiter notices him making love to Juno and binds him to a revolving wheel of fire in Tartaros. I told yoJupiter, when Jupiter notices him making love to Juno and binds him to a revolving wheel of fire in Tartaros. I told you how love would be, and you laughed. Now your words no longer come free. Look how you lie, a suppliant, when you come to her call. The girl once bought rules over you in every sphere. Chaonian doves can't beat me at love predictions: I know which youths each girl will dominate. Suffering and tears have earned me my expertise.

Chaonian doves can't beat me at love predictions: I know which youths each girl will dominate. Suffering and tears have earned me my expertise. If only I had never touched Love and could be called ignorant! What good is it now, in your misery, to speak your solemn poem, to mourn the walls of Amphion and his lyre? Mimnermos' poetry is worth more in love than Homer's: mild Love seeks soft songs. Please, go bury those sad books and sing anything the girl wants to hear! What if t

Addressed to Cynthia CALYPSOdetained Odysseus eight years on island of Ogygia, until Athena commanded her to build a raft for him. HYPSIPYLEqueen of Lemnos. When Jason stopped there he fell in love with her, but continued on his voyage. ALPHESIBOEAher brothers killed her husband, Alcmaeon, because he took a lover while separated in exile. Alphesiboea avenged him by killing them. EVADNEwife of Capaneus, blasted by a thunderbolt from Jupiter for an impious boast. I knew your contempt would get to be a drag, Cynthia, but I never expected you to be unfaithful. Look at me, how fate snatches me from danger's mouth! Yet you come lazily to me in my terror. You fix yesterday's set with your hands, examine your face in slow deliberation. You decorate your breasts with oriental jewels, as any beauty does, preparing to see a new man. But this wasn't how Calypso acted. Moved by the departure for Ithaca, she wept to the deserted seas. For many days she sat, a wreck, her hair a mess, speakin

Addressed partially to Cynthia, partially to third party, and the Nereids CASSIOPEharbor town in Corcyra. TYNDARIDSCastor and Pollux, who appear as St. Elmo's fire, a good omen for sailors in distress. Mainly known as sons of Jupiter, but in the earliest legend, they were sons of Tyndareus, hence Tyndarids. DORISdaughter of Oceanus and Tethys and mother of the Nereids. Serves me right (I could leave her behind) I now address lonely sea-birds. Cassiope is never to be seen guiding my ship, and all my prayers fall on a deaf shore. Even the absent winds favor you, Cynthia: look how the breeze stirs up savage threats. Is there no chance of the squall calming? Will this tiny beach cover my corpse? But you, reform your rude complaining: night and unjust depths punish me enough. Could you recall my death with dry eyes, without my bones to hold to your breast? God damn him! who first prepared ship and sail and made a journey on the uninviting deep! Wasn't it easier to best his mist
