Death to the vanquished!-thus ordained the God. 495. Tymphrestus is a mountain of Trachis. 498. These three are, Calchas the prophet, Idomeneus, and Sthenelus, who were buried in the forests of Cercaphus, a mountain of Colophon, near the river Hales. Calchas was doomed by the oracles to die whenever he found one more skilful than himself in divination: he was surpassed in a contest with Mopsus the son of Apollo, who foretold the number of young with which a sow was pregnant, which problem Calchas was unable to resolve. 504. Minos, the son of Jupiter, begot Deucalion, the father of Idomeneus, who on his return to Crete, after the destruction of Troy, was driven from the island by Leucus, to whom he had entrusted the guardianship of his family.

Ulysses, on his return to Ithaca, assumed the name of Æthon, and gave himself out as the son of Deucalion and brother of Idomeneus.

Capaneus, the father of Sthenelus, was one of the seven chiefs who fought against Thebes; and while he boasted that he would take the city, even though the Gods should oppose him, he was blasted by the lightnings of Jupiter.

In the same manner Sophocles has called Edipus ἀδελφὸς αὐτὸς καὶ πατήρ. 516. Mopsus, and Amphilochus, both priests of Apollo, died of mutual wounds on the banks of Pyramus, a river of Cilicia, according to Hesychius. 522. Megarsus is a town of Cilicia, according to Pliny, (others make it a mountain); so called from Megarsus the daughter of Pamphylus, who gave his name to Pamphylia. The sepulchres in which the prophets were buried were situated on opposite sides of the city. 526. Teucer, Agapenor, Acamas, Praxander, and Cepheus took refuge in Cyprus, which was formerly called Sphecéa, or Cerastia, which latter name is by some derived from xépara, “horns,” in allusion to the mountainous nature of the island: but according to others, Venus changed the |
