[296] The secret wedlock of Zeus and Hera was a favourite theme of later poets and mythographers, and played a prominent part in several ancient local cults (see Frazer Paus. iii. p. 183). According to Kallimachos (ap. Schol. A on 1.609) it lasted no less than three centuries. Cf. also Theokr. xv. 64 “πάντα γυναῖκες ἴσαντι, καὶ ὡς Ζεὺς ἀγάγεθ᾽ Ἥραν”.
