Aetna (Italy) (search for this): card 298
that a dead animal's voice can roar like that? CylleneBelieve it: it speaks now it's dead, though it had no voice when it was alive. ChorusWhat did it look like? Long, curved, short? CylleneShort, like a pitcher, and covered with a colorful hide. ChorusWas it like a cat, or rather a leopard? CylleneIn between, really: it's round with short legs. ChorusCloser to a ferret, then, or a crab? CylleneNo, that's not it; try something else. ChorusIs it like one of the horned beetles that live on Aetna? CylleneNow you're getting closer to the beast ChorusAnd which part makes the sound, the inside or the outside? Cyllenefirst cousin to a potsherd. ChorusWhat name do you call it? Tell me, if you know any more. CylleneThe boy calls the animal a "tortoise" and the instrument a "lyre." Chorusproperty Several fragmentary lines follow, and a couple of lines are lost. Cylleneand this is his only consolation or cure for sorrow. He enjoys idly singing along; he coaxes Aeolian tunes from the lyre.

loud, quarrelsome words. But calm down and tell me what it is you need. Chorus Mighty Cyllene, lady of this land, I'll tell you in a moment why I've come. But first tell us about that scraping noise and who's making it. Cyllene First of all, understand this: if you say one word of what I'm about to tell you, you'll be in trouble. This business is a secret even among the gods, so that no news of it may come to Hera. You see, Zeus came secretly to Atlas's house to the deep-girdled goddess Maia, daughter of Atlas and in a cave begot a single son. I am bringing him up myself, for his mother's strength is shaken by sickness as if by a storm. So I stay by his crib and take care of his food and drink and rest, all day and all night. He grows, day by day, in a very unusual way, and I'm astounded and afraid. It's not even six days since he was born, and he already stands as tall as a young man. His growth spurt hasn't wasted any time coming. That's the kind of child that's in my tr
Arcadia (Greece) (search for this): card 221
Cyllene emerges from the cave.Cyllene is a mountain in Arcadia, associated with Hermes. Here she is personified as a nymph, as natural features often are in Greek poetry. Cyllene Satyrs, why have you rushed up here making all this noise, on this mountain covered with green woods full of animals? Have you got yourselves a new job? You used to bring joy to your masterDionysus, who would put on a fawn skin and carry a thyrsus in his hands. You would dance around the god shouting "Evoe," along with the nymphs, who are his family, and a crowd of children. But now I don't know what you're doing. Where is this whirlwind of new craziness taking you? I heard something odd: first, nearby, orders like you'd give to hunting dogs when they get near a wild animal's den in a thicket; then, at the same time, stretched out from the mouth to the thief . Then announcement . After that they went away, feet stomping, and a confused sound came from nearby. It would be different if So I hea

Father, why are you quiet? Isn't what we're saying true? Aren't you listening? Or are you deafened by the noise? SilenusShush! What is it? ChorusI'm getting out of here! SilenusStay, if you can. ChorusNo way. But you go ahead: you keep looking and track down the cows, any way you want to, and take the gold unless the biggest time. Silenus No, I won't leave you, nor sneak away from the work, before we know for sure what's going on in there. Chorus Addressing the source of the noiseHey! You in there! voice reward you will be happy at home. To SilenusHe's not coming out. To the noise-maker again. But I'll force you out, making the ground rumble with my swift leaps and kicks, so you'll listen, even if you're altogether deaf.

uch a thing. Since I found out about this, shocked as I was, I have been seeking them, and I have proclaimed the deed so that no god or mortal men could be unaware of it. I am beside myself. I have gone to visit the whole nation of the Locrians, those who inhabit Opus, those in Ozolis, those in Knemis by the Cephisus. I have gone to Aetolia and to Acarnanian Argos. From there I came to the grove of Zeus at Dodona, shaded by leaves of prophecy. I then hastened to the fruitful plains of Thessaly and the wealthy cities of Boeotia. And then I came to Attica, to holy Athens, but I see my cows nowhere. Then I came to Dorian Argos and the nearby hill. From there I came, in one leap, to the Stymphalian Lake and Mount Cyllene, hard to climb. I speak to the forest: if any shepherd or any rustic or any charcoal-burner is here, or any saytr from the mountains, child of the river-nymphs, I announce these things to one and all.
