THE GREAT EOIAE (fragments)

Fragment #1  Pausanius; ii。 26。 3: Epidaurus。  According to the opinion of the Argives and the epic poem; the 〃Great Eoiae〃; Argos the son of Zeus was father of Epidaurus。


Fragment #2  Anonymous Comment。 on Aristotle; Nicomachean Ethics; iii。 7: And; they say; Hesiod is sufficient to prove that the word PONEROS (bad) has the same sense as ‘laborious' or ‘ill…fated'; for in the 〃Great Eoiae〃 he represents Alcmene as saying to Heracles: ‘My son; truly Zeus your father begot you to be the most toilful as the most excellent。。。'; and again: ‘The Fates (made) you the most toilful and the most excellent。。。'


Fragment #3  Scholiast on Pindar; Isthm。 v。 53: The story has been taken from the 〃Great Eoiae〃; for there we find Heracles entertained by Telamon; standing dressed in his lion…skin and praying; and there also we find the eagle sent by Zeus; from which Aias took his name (1)。

Fragment #5  Pausanias; ix。 40。 6: ‘And Phylas wedded Leipephile the daughter of famous Iolaus: and she was like the Olympians in beauty。  She bare him a son Hippotades in the palace; and comely Thero who was like the beams of the moon。  And Thero lay in the embrace of Apollo and bare horse…taming Chaeron of hardy strength。'


Fragment #6  Scholiast on Pindar; Pyth。 iv。 35: ‘Or like her in Hyria; careful…minded Mecionice; who was joined in the love of golden Aphrodite with the Earth…holder and Earth… Shaker; and bare Euphemus。'


Fragment #7  Pausanias; ix。 36。 7: ‘And Hyettus killed Molurus the dear son of Aristas in his house because he lay with his wife。  Then he left his home and fled from horse…rearing Argos and came to Minyan Orchomenus。  And the hero received him and gave him a portion of his goods; as was fitting。'


Fragment #8  Pausanias; ii。 2。 3: But in the 〃Great Eoiae〃 Peirene is represented to be the daughter of Oebalius。


Fragment #9  Pausanias; ii。 16。 4: The epic poem; which the Greek call the 〃Great Eoiae〃; says that she (Mycene) was the daughter of Inachus and wife of Arestor: from her; then; it is said; the city received its name。

Fragment #16  Antoninus Liberalis; xxiii: Battus。  Hesiod tells the story in the 〃Great Eoiae〃。。。。 。。。。Magnes was the son of Argus; the son of Phrixus and Perimele; Admetus' daughter; and lived in the region of Thessaly; in the land which men called after him Magnesia。  He had a son of remarkable beauty; Hymenaeus。  And when Apollo saw the boy; he was seized with love for him; and would not leave the house of Magnes。  Then Hermes made designs on Apollo's herd of cattle which were grazing in the same place as the cattle of Admetus。  First he cast upon the dogs which were guarding them a stupor and strangles; so that the dogs forgot the cows and lost the power of barking。  Then he drove away twelve heifers and a hundred cows never yoked; and the bull who mounted the cows; fastening to the tail of each one brushwood to wipe out the footmarks of the cows。

He drove them through the country of the Pelasgi; and Achaea in the land of Phthia; and through Locris; and Boeotia and Megaris; and thence into Peloponnesus by way of Corinth and Larissa; until he brought them to Tegea。  From there he went on by the Lycaean mountains; and past Maenalus and what are called the watch…posts of Battus。  Now this Battus used to live on the top of the rock and when he heard the voice of the heifers as they were being driven past; he came out from his own place; and knew that the cattle were stolen。  So he asked for a reward to tell no one about them。  Hermes promised to give it him on these terms; and Battus swore to say nothing to anyone about the cattle。  But when Hermes had hidden them in the cliff by Coryphasium; and had driven them into a cave facing towards Italy and Sicily; he changed himself and came again to Battus and tried whether he would be true to him as he had vowed。  So; offering him a robe as a reward; he asked of him whether he had noticed stolen cattle being driven past。  And Battus took the robe and told him about the cattle。  But Hermes was angry because he was double…tongued; and struck him with his staff and changed him into a rock。  And either frost or heat never leaves him (4)。


ENDNOTES:

(1)  When Heracles prayed that a son might be born to Telamon and      Eriboea; Zeus sent forth an eagle in token that the prayer      would be granted。  Heracles then bade the parents call their      son Aias after the eagle (‘aietos')。 (2)  Oenomaus; king of Pisa in Elis; warned by an oracle that he      should be killed by his son…in…law; offered his daughter      Hippodamia to the man who could defeat him in a chariot      race; on condition that the defeated suitors should be slain      by him。  Ultimately Pelops; through the treachery of the      charioteer of Oenomaus; became victorious。 (3)  sc。 to Scythia。 (4)  In the Homeric 〃Hymn to Hermes〃 Battus almost disappears      from the story; an
