HYMEN was young man OF
Athens, Obscurely born but extreme
ly handsome. Falling in love with a
lady OF rank, he disguised himself in
female attire, the better to carry ON
his amour; and as he was one day
on the seashOre celebrating the Eleu.
sinian rites with his mistress and
her fsmale companions, a gang of
pirat, came upon them by surprise
and carried them off to a distant
island, where the pilots got drunk
for joy and fell asleep. Hymen then
armed the virgins and dispatched the
sleeping pirates, when, leaving the
women upon the islaud, he sped to
Athens where he told his adventure,
and demanded his beloved in mar
riage as her ransom. His request
was granted,a ,and so fortunate was
the marriage that the name of Hymen
was ever after invoked on subsequent
and in the progress of time
the Greeks enrolled him among their
