(ll。 947…949) And golden…haired Dionysus made brown…haired Ariadne; the daughter of Minos; his buxom wife: and the son of Cronos made her deathless and unageing for him。

(ll。 950…955) And mighty Heracles; the valiant son of neat…ankled Alemena; when he had finished his grievous toils; made Hebe the child of great Zeus and gold…shod Hera his shy wife in snowy Olympus。  Happy he!  For he has finished his great works and lives amongst the dying gods; untroubled and unaging all his days。

(ll。 956…962) And Perseis; the daughter of Ocean; bare to unwearying Helios Circe and Aeetes the king。  And Aeetes; the son of Helios who shows light to men; took to wife fair…cheeked Idyia; daughter of Ocean the perfect stream; by the will of the gods: and she was subject to him in love through golden Aphrodite and bare him neat…ankled Medea。

(ll。 963…968) And now farewell; you dwellers on Olympus and you islands and continents and thou briny sea within。  Now sing the company of goddesses; sweet…voiced Muses of Olympus; daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis;  even those deathless one who lay with mortal men and bare children like unto gods。

(ll。 969…974) Demeter; bright goddess; was joined in sweet love with the hero Iasion in a thrice…ploughed fallow in the rich land of Crete; and bare Plutus; a kindly god who goes everywhere over land and the sea's wide back; and him who finds him and into whose hands he comes he makes rich; bestowing great wealth upon him。

(ll。 975…978) And Harmonia; the daughter of golden Aphrodite; bare to Cadmus Ino and Semele and fair…cheeked Agave and Autonoe whom long haired Aristaeus wedded; and Polydorus also in rich… crowned Thebe。

(ll。 979…983) And the daughter of Ocean; Callirrhoe was joined in the love of rich Aphrodite with stout hearted Chrysaor and bare a son who was the strongest of all men; Geryones; whom mighty Heracles killed in sea…girt Erythea for the sake of his shambling oxen。

(ll。 984…991) And Eos bare to Tithonus brazen…crested Memnon; king of the Ethiopians; and the Lord Emathion。  And to Cephalus she bare a splendid son; strong Phaethon; a man like the gods; whom; when he was a young boy in the tender flower of glorious youth with childish thoughts; laughter…loving Aphrodite seized and caught up and made a keeper of her shrine by night; a divine spirit。

(ll。 993…1002) And the son of Aeson by the will of the gods led away from Aeetes the daughter of Aeetes the heaven…nurtured king; when he had finished the many grievous labours which the great king; over bearing Pelias; that outrageous and presumptuous doer of violence; put upon him。  But when the son of Aeson had finished them; he came to Iolcus after long toil bringing the coy…eyed girl with him on his swift ship; and made her his buxom wife。  And she was subject to Iason; shepherd of the people; and bare a son Medeus whom Cheiron the son of Philyra brought up in the mountains。  And the will of great Zeus was fulfilled。

(ll。 1003…1007) But of the daughters of Nereus; the Old man of the Sea; Psamathe the fair goddess; was loved by Aeacus through golden Aphrodite and bare Phocus。  And the silver…shod goddess Thetis was subject to Peleus and brought forth lion…hearted Achilles; the destroyer of men。

(ll。 1008…1010) And Cytherea with the beautiful crown was joined in sweet love with the hero Anchises and bare Aeneas on the peaks of Ida with its many wooded glens。

(ll。 1011…1016) And Circe the daughter of Helius; Hyperion's son; loved steadfast Odysseus and bare Agrius and Latinus who was faultless and strong: also she brought forth Telegonus by the will of golden Aphrodite。  And they ruled over the famous Tyrenians; very far off in a recess of the holy islands。

(ll。 1017…1018) And the bright goddess Calypso was joined to Odysseus in sweet love; and bare him Nausithous and Nausinous。

(ll。 1019…1020) These are the immortal goddesses who lay with mortal men and bare them children like unto gods。

(ll。 1021…1022) But now; sweet…voiced Muses of Olympus; daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis; sing of the company of women。


ENDNOTES:

(1)  The epithet probably indicates coquettishness。 (2)  A proverbial saying meaning; ‘why enlarge on irrelevant      topics?' (3)  ‘She of the noble voice': Calliope is queen of Epic poetry。 (4)  Earth; in the cosmology of Hesiod; is a disk surrounded by      the river Oceanus and floating upon a waste of waters。  It      is called the foundation of all (the qualification ‘the      deathless ones。。。' etc。 is an interpolation); because not      only trees; men; and animals; but even the hills and seas      (ll。 129; 131) are supported by it。 (5)  Aether is the bright; untainted upper atmosphere; as      distinguished from Aer; the lower atmosphere of the earth。 (6)  Brontes is the Thunderer; Steropes; the Lightener; and      Arges; the Vivid One。 (7)  The myth accounts for the separation of Heaven and Earth。       In Egyptian cosmology Nut (the Sky) is thrust and held apart      from her brother Geb (the Earth) by their father Shu; who      corresponds to the Greek Atlas。 (8)  Nymphs of the ash…trees; as Dryads are nymphs of the oak…      trees。  Cp。 note on 〃Works and Days〃; l。 145。 (9)  ‘Member…loving': the title is perhaps only a perversion of      the regular PHILOMEIDES (laughter…loving)。 (10) Cletho (the Spinner) is she who spins the thread of man's      life; Lachesis (the Disposer of Lots) assigns to each man      his destiny; Atropos (She who cannot be turned) is the ‘Fury      with the abhorred shears。' (11) Many of the names which follow express various qualities or      aspects of the sea: thus Galene is ‘Calm'; Cymothoe is the      ‘Wave…swift'; Pherusa and Dynamene are ‘She who speeds      (ships)' and ‘She who has power'。 (12) The ‘Wave…receiver' and the ‘Wave…stiller'。 (13) ‘The Unerring' or ‘Truthful'; cp。 l。 235。 (14) i。e。 Poseidon。 (15) Goettling notes that some of these nymphs derive their names      from lands over which they preside; as Europa; Asia; Doris;      Ianeira (‘Lady of the Ionians'); but that most are called      after some quality which their streams possessed: thus      Xanthe is the ‘Brown' or ‘Turbid'; Amphirho is the      ‘Surrounding' river; Ianthe is ‘She who delights'; and      Ocyrrhoe is the ‘Swift…flowing'。 (16) i。e。 Eos; the ‘Early…born'。 (17) Van Lennep explains that Hecate; having no brothers to      support her claim; might have been slighted。 (18) The goddess of the hearth (the Roman 〃Vesta〃); and so of the      house。  Cp。 〃Homeric Hymns〃 v。22 ff。; xxxix。1 ff。 (19) The variant reading ‘of his father' (sc。 Heaven) rests on      inferior MS。 authority and is probably an alteration due to      the difficulty stated by a Scholiast: ‘How could Zeus; being      not yet begotten; plot against his father?'  The phrase is;      however; part of the prophecy。  The whole line may well be      spurious; and is rejected by Heyne; Wolf; Gaisford and      Guyet。 (20) Pausanias (x。 24。6) saw near the tomb of Neoptolemus ‘a      stone of no great size'; which the Delphians anointed every      day with oil; and which he says was supposed to be the stone      given to Cronos。 (21) A Scholiast explains: ‘Either because they (men) sprang from      the Melian
