ld beast.In these lines Apollodorus has summarized the argument of the Bacchae of Euripides; for the death of Pentheus, see Eur. Ba. 1043ff. Compare Hyginus, Fab. 184; Ov. Met. 3.511ff., especially 701ff.; Scriptores rerum mythicarum Latini, ed. Bode, i. p. 103 （Second Vatican Mythographer 83）. Aeschylus wrote a tragedy on the subject of Pentheus （TGF (Nauck 2nd ed.), pp. 60ff.）. And having shown the Thebans that he was a god, Dionysus came to Argos, and there again, because they did not honor him, he drove the women mad, and they on the mountains devoured the flesh of the infants whom they carried at their breasts.The reference is to the madness of the daughters of Proetus. See above, Apollod. 2.2.2 note. And wishing to be ferried across from Icaria to Naxos he hired a pirate ship of Tyrrhenians. But when they had put him on board, they sailed past Naxos and made for Asia, int

cles was the first to rule, and would not hand over the kingdom. So, being banished from Thebes, Polynices came to Argos, taking with him the necklace and the robe.That is, the necklace and the robe which Cadmus had given to Harmonia at their marriage. See above, Apollod. 3.4.2. The king of Argos was Adrastus, son of Talaus; and Polynices went up to his palace by night and engaged in a fight with Tydeus, son of Oeneus, who had fled from Calydon.See icles; Capaneus, son of Hipponous; Hippomedon, son of Aristomachus, but some say of Talaus. These came from Argos; but Polynices, son of Oedipus, came from Thebes; Tydeus, son of Oeneus, was an Aetolian; Parthenopaeus, so See Frazer, commentary on Pausanias, vol. iv. pp. 406ff. According to Diod. 4.65.9 Adrastus returned to Argos. But Pausanias says （Paus. 1.43.1） that he died at Megara of old age and grief at his son's death, when he was le

from the rock in support of his claim, and this version of the story seems to have been accepted by Virgil （Geo. i.12ff.）, but it is not countenanced by Greek writers. The Athenians said that the contest between Poseidon and Athena took place on the second of the month Boedromion, and hence they omitted that day from the calendar. See Plut. De fraterno amore 11; Plut. Quaest. Conviv. ix.6. The unlucky Poseidon also contested the possession of Argos with Hera, and when the judges gave a verdict against him and in favour of the goddess, he took his revenge, as in Attica, by flooding the country. See Paus. 2.22.4; compare Paus. 2.15.5; Polemo, Greek History, cited by the Scholiast on Aristides, vol. iii. p. 322, ed. Dindorf. After him came Athena, and, having called on Cecrops to witness her act of taking possession, she planted an olive tree, which is still shown in the Pandrosium.The ol

elaus got Helen. And Agamemnon reigned over the Mycenaeans and married Clytaemnestra, daughter of Tyndareus, after slaying her former husband Tantalus, son of Thyestes, with his child.As to Tantalus, the first husband of Clytaemnestra, and his murder by Agamemnon, see Eur. IA 1148ff.; Paus. 2.18.2, Paus. 2.22.2ff. According to Pausanias, he was a son of Thyestes or of Broteas, and his bones were deposited in a large bronze vessel at Argos. And there were born to Agamemnon a son Orestes, and daughters, Chrysothemis, Electra, and Iphigenia.In Hom. Il. 9.142ff. Agamemnon says that he has a son Orestes and three daughters, Chrysothemis, Laodice, and Iphianassa （Iphigenia）, and he offers to give any one of his daughters in marriage to Achilles without a dowry, if only that doughty hero will forgive him and fight again for the Greeks against Troy.

leted their preparations, set out on the expedition and after their retirement from Mysia to Greece eight years elapsed before they again returned to Argos and came to Aulis. Having again assembled at Aulis after the aforesaid interval of eight years, they were in great perplexity about the voyage his wound was unhealed, and Apollo had told him that he would be cured when the one who wounded him should turn physician, came from Mysia to Argos, clad in rags, and begged the help of Achilles, promising to show the course to steer for Troy. So Achilles healed him by scraping off the rust of his Pelia p. 127. and the accuracy of his information was confirmed by Calchas by means of his own art of divination. But when they had put to sea from Argos and arrived for the second time at Aulis, the fleet was windbound, and Calchas said that they could not sail unless the fairest of Agamemnon's

ed more fully both by Tzetzes （Scholiast on Lycophron 440-442） and Strab. 14.5.16 According to them, Amphilochus wished to go for a time to Argos （probably Amphilochian Argos; see above, Apollod. 3.7.7）. So he departed after entrusting the kingdom or priesthood to Mopsus in his absence. Dissatisfied with the state of affairs at Argos, he returned in a year and reclaimed the kingdom or priesthood from Mopsus. But, acting on the principle Beati possidentes, the viceroy refused to cede the crown or the mitre to its proper owner; accordingly they had recourse to the ordeal of battle,ur era; Iphigenia is said to have landed with the image at Brauron and left it there, while she herself went on by land to Athens and afterwards to Argos. See Paus. 1.23.7, Paus. 1.33.1. But according to some the original image was carried off by Xerxes to Susa, and was afterwards presented by Seleu

Euripides “Aegyptus, so the widespread rumor runs, With fifty children in a long-oared boat, Landing near Argos”— Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask! Dionysus What was this “oil flask”? You'll be sorry! Recite for him another prologue, so I can see once more. Euripides “Dionysus, who with thyrsus wands and fawnskins bedecked amidst the pines on Mt. Parnassus bounds dancing...” Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask! Dionysus Alas, again we have been stricken by that flask. Euripides It won't be a problem. For to this prologue he won't be able to attach that flask. “No man exists, who's altogether blest, Either nobly sired he has no livelihood Or else base-born he ...” Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask! Dionysus Euripides! Euripides What is it? Dionysus I think you should pull in your sails; that oil flask is going to blow up quite a storm. Euripides By Demeter, I wouldn't think of it. For this one here will knock it away from him. Dionysus Go on and recite another then,

Cleon Recovering his wits Ah! by Demeter! I was not ignorant of this plot and these machinations that were being forged and nailed and put together against me. Chorus to the Sausage-Seller Look out, look out! Come, outfence him with some wheelwright slang. Sausage-Seller His tricks at Argos do not escape me. Under pretence of forming an alliance with the Argives, he is hatching a plot with the Lacedaemonians there; and I know why the bellows are blowing and the metal that is on the anvil; it's the question of the prisoners. Chorus Well done! Forge on, if he be a wheelwright. Sausage-Seller And there are men at Sparta who are hammering the iron with you; but neither gold nor silver nor prayers nor anything else shall impede my denouncing your trickery to the Athenians. Cleon As for me, I hasten to the Senate to reveal your plotting, your nightly gatherings in the city, your trafficking with the Medes and with the Great King, and all you are foraging for in Boeotia. Sausage-Seller Wha

cherished olives, he will know the blessings you have kept him out of, even though paying him a salary; and, filled with hatred and rage, he will rise, burning with desire to vote against you. You know this only too well; it is for this you rock him to sleep with your lies. Cleon Is it not shameful, that you should dare thus to calumniate me before Demos, me, to whom Athens, I swear it by Demeter, already owes more than it ever did to Themistocles? Sausage-Seller declaiming Oh! citizens of Argos, do you hear what he says? to Cleon You dare to compare yourself to Themistocles, who found our city half empty and left it full to overflowing, who one day gave us the Piraeus for dinner, and added fresh fish to all our usual meals. You, on the contrary, you, who compare yourself with Themistocles, have only sought to reduce our city in size, to shut it within its walls, to chant oracles to us. And Themistocles goes into exile, while you gorge yourself on the most excellent fare Cleon Oh!

Chremylus But go and hang yourself and don't breathe another syllable. I will not be convinced against my will. Poverty “Oh! citizens of Argos! do you hear what he says?” Chremylus Invoke Pauson, your boon companion, rather. Poverty Alas! what is to become of me? Chremylus Get you gone, be off quick and a pleasant journey to you. Poverty But where shall I go? Chremylus To gaol; but hurry up, let us put an end to this. Poverty as she departs One day you will recall me. Chremylus Then you can return; but disappear for the present. I prefer to be rich; you are free to knock your head against the walls in your rage. Blepsidemus And I too welcome wealth. I want, when I leave the bath all perfumed with essences, to feast bravely with my wife and children and to fart in the faces of toilers and Poverty. Chremylus So that hussy has gone at last! But let us make haste to put Plutus to bed in the Temple of Asclepius. Blepsidemus Let us make haste; else some bothering fellow may again come to
