Guinea-Fowl

The Guinea-Fowl is a bird sacred to Artemis.

## Classical Text

"[After the death of Meleagros] his sisters, all except Gorge and Deianira, because of their weeping, were by the will of the gods changed into birds. These are called Meleagrides, ‘guinea hens’."

- *Pseudo-Hyginus, Fabulae 172 (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.)*

"Not if a god gave me a hundred mouths . . . could I rehearse his [Meleagros'] sisters' threnodies of woe [at his death, which was brought about incidentally by Artemis]. All decency forgotten, black and blue they beat their breasts, and, while his corpse remained, that corpse they fondled, fondled hour by hour; they kissed their brother, kissed their brother's bier; then ashes - and his ashes in their urn they held tight to their hearts, and threw themselves down on his tomb and clasped his name engraved; and on that name poured forth their flooding tears. At last Latonia [Artemis], sated with the ruin of the house of Parthaonaie [Oeneus], raised up the sisters (all save Gorge and [Deianeira] the wife of Alcmena's son), clothed them in plumage and along their arms spread wings and in their faces, once to fair, set beaks and launched them, changed, into the air [as guinea-fowl, Greek meleagris]."

- *Ovid, Metamorphoses 8. 531 ff (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)*
Ekhidna

Ekhidna (Gr: Εχιδνα) is a drakaina with the head and upper body of a woman and the rest of her body is a writhing snake tail. She presided over rot, slime, felid waters, illness, and disease.

## Myth

Echidna, said to be the mother of all monsters, is a drakaina, with the face and torso of a beautiful woman, with fair cheeks, and the body of a serpent. She eats raw flesh beneath the secret parts of the holy earth. There, she has a cave deep down under a hollow rock far from the deathless gods and mortal men.

When she and her lover, Typhon, attacked the Olympians, Zeus beat them back and punished Typhon by sealing him under Mount Etna. However, Zeus allowed Echidna and her children to live as a challenge to future heroes. She was finally killed by Argus Panoptes by having spears thrown into her until it resembled spines, the hundred-eyed giant who served Hera, when she fell asleep.

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3.12.5

"And at him Priam's son Antiphus, of the flashing corselet, cast with his sharp spear amid the throng. Him he missed, but smote in the groin Odysseus' goodly comrade, Leucus, as he was drawing the corpse to the other side; so he fell upon it, and the body slipped from his grasp. For his slaying waxed Odysseus mightily wroth at heart, and strode amid the foremost warriors, harnessed in flaming bronze; close to the foe he came and took his stand, and glancing warily about him hurled with his bright spear; and back did the Trojans shrink from the warrior as he cast. Not in vain did he let fly his spear, but smote Priam's bastard son Democoon, that had come at his call from Abydus, from his stud of swift mares. Him Odysseus, wroth for his comrade's sake, smote with his spear on the temple, and out through the other temple passed the spear-point of bronze, and darkness enfolded his eyes, and he fell with a thud and upon him his armour clanged. Then the foremost warriors and glorious Hector gave ground; and the Argives shouted aloud, and drew off the bodies, and charged far further onward."

Eratô (Nysiad)

Erato (Ερατω) whose name means "Lovely or Beloved" was possibly one of the Okeanides who helped nurse the child Dionysos. Erato is listed in Fabulae as being one of the six Okeanides who nursed Dionysos. It is important to mention that while Dionysos was only nursed by six or seven Okeanides, as many as fourteen have been named as being named among them.

It was at Zeus' request that several of the Okeanides help to nurse the child Dionysos. Zeus' requested this because if Hera learned about Dionysos while he was still a child, her vindictive nature would nature would ensure that harm would come to the future wine-god.

Elymos

## Classical Text

"Five of the centaurs Caeneus put to death: Styphelus, Bromus, and Antimachus, Elymus, and Pyracmos with his axe. I have forgot their wounds but noted well their names and number. Latreus, huge of limb, had killed and stripped Emathian Halesus. Now in his armor he came rushing out, in years he was between old age and youth; but he retained the vigor of his youth; his temples showed his hair was mixed with grey. Conspicuous for his Macedonian lance and sword and shield, facing both sides -- each way, he insolently clashed his arms; and while he rode poured out these words in empty air. `Shall I put up with one like you, O Caeneus? For you are still a woman in my sight. Have you forgot your birth or that disgrace by which you won reward—at what a price you got the false resemblance to a man?! Consider both your birth, and what you have submitted to! Take up a distaff, and wool basket! Twist your threads with practiced thumb! Leave warfare to your men!’ While puffed-up pride was vaunting out such nonsense, Caeneus hurled a spear and pierced the stretched out running side, just where the man was joined upon the horse. The Centaur, Latreus, raved with pain and struck with his great pike, the face of Caeneus. His pike rebounded as the hail that slants up from the roof; or as a pebble might rebound from hollow drum. Then coming near, he tried to drive a sword into the hard side of Caeneus, but it could not make a wound. ‘Aha!’ he cried, ‘this will not get you off. The good edge of my sword will take your life, although the point is blunt!’ He turned the edge against the flank of Caeneus and swung round the hero's loins with his long, curving arm. The flesh resounded like a marble block, the keen blade shattered on the unyielding skin. And, after Caeneus had exposed his limbs unhurt to Latreus, who stood there amazed, `Come now,’ he said, `and let us try my steel against your body!’ And, clear to the hilt, down through the monster's shoulder-blade he plunged his deadly sword and, turning it again, deep in the Centaur's entrails, made new wounds within his wound.
- Ovid, Metamorphoses 12.459-12.493 (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)
Dôdônê

Dôdônê (Dodona) was an Okeanid-nymph of the town and oracular shrine of Dodona in Thesprotia (north-western Greece). She was probably the Naiad of the local well, spring or fountain.

Dodone was probably identified with the Titaness Dione who had a temple at Dodona and was possibly also connected with the Nymphai Dodonides.

Erginus

In Greek mythology, Erginus /ˈɜːrdʒɪnəs/ (Ancient Greek: Ἐργῖνος) was an Argonaut who piloted the Argo after the helmsman Tiphys died.

Biography

Erginus is said to be the son of Poseidon, and to have resided in the Carian city of Miletus, Yet others suggested he was a son of Periclymenus. Some authors identify him with another Erginus, king of Minyan Orchomenus.

Mythology

During the funeral games which Hypsipyle celebrated at Lemnos in honour of her father Thoas, Erginus also contended for a prize. But he was ridiculed by the Lemnian women because of his grey hair, even though he was still young. However, Erginus defeated Boreads in the foot-race.
Evandre

One of the Amazons who came with Penthesilia to the Trojan War. She was killed by Meriones at Troy

## Classical Text

And with her followed twelve beside, each one a princess, hot for war and battle grim, far-famous each, yet handmaids unto her: Penthesileia far outshone them all. As when in the broad sky amidst the stars the moon rides over all pre-eminent, when through the thunderclouds the cleaving heavens open, when sleep the fury-breathing winds; so peerless was she mid that charging host. Clonie was there, Polemusa, Derinoe, Evandre, and Antandre, and Bremusa, Hippothoe, dark-eyed Harmothoe, Alcibie, Derimacheia, Antibrote, and Thermodosa glorying with the spear. All these to battle fared with warrior-souled Penthesileia: even as when descends Dawn from Olympus' crest of adamant, Dawn, heart-exultant in her radiant steeds amidst the bright-haired Hours; and o'er them all, how flawless-fair soever these may be, her splendour of beauty glows pre-eminent; so peerless amid all the Amazons unto Troy-town Penthesileia came. To right, to left, from all sides hurrying thronged the Trojans, greatly marvelling, when they saw the tireless War-god's child, the mailed maid, like to the Blessed Gods; for in her face glowed beauty glorious and terrible. Her smile was ravishing: beneath her brows, her love-enkindling eyes shone like to stars, and with the crimson rose of shamefastness bright were her cheeks, and mantled over them unearthly grace with battle-prowess clad.

- Quintus Smyrnaeus. *Fall of Troy* i, 40 - i 72.
Gyês

Gyês (Γυης) was one of the Hekantonkheires, three primordial hundred-handed, fifty-headed storm giants. He was more specifically a god of sea-storms and in this guise he was often named Aigaion (Of the Aegean). Gyês and his brother Kottos, were appointed guardians of the gates of the storm-pit Tartaros. Kottos' name was derived from the Greek word *guês* meaning "of the Earth."
Damysos

Damysos (Δαμυσος) was the fastest of the Gigantes. Damysos, like so many others was created to be the opposite of a god, im this case Hermes.  During the war against the Gigantes Hermes (borrowing Hades cap of invisibility) killed Damysos with help from Herakles.

Later on, when Akhilles was born, his mother dug up the body of the Gigante and removed his feet.  Themis then attached the speed from Damysos’s feet to that of Akhilles’ feet.
Euryke

Euryke was one of the fifty daughters of Thespius, King of Thespiae, Boeotia. She was one of the forty-nine of his fifty daughters to sleep with Herakles while he was in Thespiae. She would carry his son Teleutagoras.

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3.12.5

"Then took he two sons of Priam, Dardanus' son, Echemmon and Chromius, the twain being in one car. Even as a lion leapeth among the kine and breaketh the neck of a heifer or a cow as they graze in a woodland pasture, so did Tydeus' son thrust both these in evil wise from their car, sorely against their will, and thereafter despoiled them of their armour; and the horses he gave to his comrades to drive to the ships."

- Homer, Iliad 5.159-5.165
Diokorystes

Diokorystes was one of the fifty sons of King Aigyptos. Agenor's mother was an unnamed arabian woman. The same woman that gave birth to Alkes bore nine other sons to Aigyptos. In the mass wedding of the sons of Aigyptos to the daughters of Danaus, Diokorystes wed Hippodameia.

## Classical Text

"[The daughters of Danaus married the sons of Aigyptos:] Hippodameia went to Istros, Rhodia to Khalkodon, Kleopatra to Agenor, Asteria to Khaetos, Phylodameia to Diokorystos, Glauke to Alkes, Hippomedusa to Alkmenor, Gorge to Hippothous, Iphimedusa to Eukhenor, and Rhode to Hippolytos. These ten sons had an Arabian mother, while the girls were the daughters variously of Atlanteia and Phoibe, two Hamadryas Nymphai."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 17 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Hippasos

## Classical Text

On one side Thetis, whom a god had hoped to win, is being borne upon the back of a Tyrrhene fish to the bridal chamber of Peleus; the dolphin is speeding over the sea; she herself is sitting with her veil drawn down over her eyes, and is sorrowing that Achilles shall not be born greater than Jupiter. Panope and her sister Doto and Galatea with bare shoulders, revelling in the waves, escort her toward the caverns; Cyclops from the Sicilian shore calls Galatea back. Opposite to this is a fire and a bed of green leaves, a banquet and wines, and in the midst of the sea-gods the son of Aeacus with his wife; they have drunk, and now Chiron is touching the lyre. On the other side is Pholoe and Rhoetus mad with much wine, and the strife that broke out over the Atracian maid. Bowls and tables are flying, altars of the gods and cups, the marvellous work of ancient craftsmen. Here may one recognise Peleus, lord of the spear, and here Aeson raging with his sword. Monychus is toiling beneath the weight of his conqueror Nestor, mounted on his unwilling back; Clanis is sealing death to Actor with a blazing oak tree; Nessus the black centaur is bleeding, and in the midst of all Hippasus leaning against he coverlets is burying his head in an empty golden goblet.
- *Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 1.130 - 1.148*
Dikê

Dikê (Δικη) was the goddess of justice, fair judgements and the rights established by custom and law. She was one of the three Horai (Horae), goddesses of the seasons, and keepers of the gates of heaven. Her sisters were Eunomia and Eirênê. Like her siblings, she probably also represented an aspect of springtime growth.

Dike was identified with Dikaiosynê and Astraia. Her opposite number was Adikia .
Drakôn Ophiogeneikos

THE DRAKON OPHIOGENEIKOS (Dragon of the Serpent-Born) was a giant serpent which guarded a sacred grove of the goddess Artemis in north-eastern Mysia. It impregnated a maiden named Halia when she was visiting the shrine and she birthed Ophiogenes "the Serpent-Born", ancestor of the Ophiogenees tribe.
Deukalion (Son of Minos)

In Greek mythology, Deukalion (Δευκαλίων), was the king of Krete before his son Idomeneus succeeded him and led the kingdom into the Trojan War. He was the son of Minos and the grandson of Zeus.

Odysseus pretends to be his second son Aethon when he speaks to his wife while in disguise. It is unclear whether Aethon is a real son of Deukalion, left by Idomeneus to act as regent during the war, or invented by Odysseus.
Deiopites

In Greek mythology, Deiopites (Δηιοπίτης) was a Trojan prince as one of the children of King Priam of Troy by an unknown woman. He was killed by the Kretan leader Meges during the siege of the city.

## Classical Text

## Экономика

До недавнего времени в Коряковке не было земель для выпаса домашних животных.

Если же говорить о развитии сельского хозяйства, то земледелия в селе нет. Коряковцы разводят скот и занимаются сенокосом.

.

## История

В 1720 у озера Коряковка был основан форт Иртышской линии, близ которого и образовалась казачья станица, ставшая основой и для села, и для дальнейшего появления Павлодара.

Развитие села и российского правобережья на Иртышской линии произошло благодаря соледобычи.

В 1970-х годах соленое озеро в Коряковке законсервировали. Дело в том, что ранее длительный период не соблюдалась технология добычи, и соль в этом месте стала сродни отраве. Меж тем через четверть века она “поспела”, и теперь ее можно вывозить. Считается, что качество соли такое, что она пригодна для корма скота и в промышленных целях.

Euadnê (Argive Naiad)

Euadnê (Evadne) was the Naiad-nymph of a well or fountain of the town of Argos in Argolis (southern Greece). She was the wife of Argos (Argus), the eponymous founding-king of the town and the mother of four sons--Kriasos (Criasus), next king of Argos, Ekbasos (Ecbasus), father of hundred-eyed giant Argos Panoptes, Peiras, father of the drakaina (she-dragon) Ekhidna, and Epidauros, founding prince of the town of Epidauros. Somewhat curiously she was described as a daughter of the river-god Styrmon in distant Thrake, which might symbolise an ancient colonisation or the introduction of a cult from that region.

Elatê

Firs are mountain growing pyrmaidal-shaped conifers. The silver fir grows to a height of 100 to 150 feet and the Grecian fir around 80. Their tall cones ripen around October. The juice of the silver fir (a turpentine-like oil) was mixed by the Greeks with new wine to make it keep. Fir wood was used for building.
Eurytion (Kentauroi Peloponnesioi)

## Classical Text

"Herakles (Heracles) asked for wine, but [the Kentauros (Centaur)] Pholos said that he was afraid to open the cask which was owned jointly be the Kentauroi (Centaurs). But Herakles told him not to worry, and opened the cask himself. Shortly thereafter, picking up the smell of the wine, the Kentauroi appeared at Pholos' cave, armed with rocks and clubs of silver fir. The first two who ventured in . . . Herakles turned back with a volley of fire-brands; he sent arrows after the others . . . The remaining Kentauroi fled this way and that, some to Mount Malea, Eurytion to Pholoe, Nessos to the Euenus river."

Dryops

Dryops was one of the bastard sons of Priam, he was one of the eight sons of Priam who was killed by Akhilles.

*- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3.12.5*

"So saying he smote Dryops full upon the neck with a thrust of his spear, and he fell down before his feet. But he left him there, and stayed from fight Demuchus, Philetor's son, a valiant man and tall, striking him upon the knee with a cast of his spear; and thereafter he smote him with his great sword, and took away his life. Then setting upon Laogonus and Dardanus, sons twain of Bias, he thrust them both from their chariot to the ground, smiting the one with a cast of his spear and the other with his sword in close fight. Then Tros, Alastor's son—he came to clasp his knees, if so be he would spare him, by taking him captive, and let him go alive, and slay him not, having pity on one of like age, fool that he was! nor knew, he this, that with him was to be no hearkening; for nowise soft of heart or gentle of mind was the man, but exceeding fierce—he sought to clasp Achilles' knees with his hands, fain to make his prayer; but he smote him upon the liver with his sword, and forth the liver slipped, and the dark blood welling forth therefrom filled his bosom; and darkness enfolded his eyes, as he swooned. Then with his spear Achilles drew nigh unto Mulius and smote him upon the ear, and clean through the other ear passed the spear-point of bronze."

Hippokampoi

Hippokampoi (Ἱπποκαμποι) were the fish-tailed horses of the sea. They were depicted as composite creatures with the head and fore-parts of a horse and the serpentine-tail of a fish. In mosaic art they were often had green scales and fish-fin manes and appendages.

The ancients believed they were the adult-form of the small fish we call the "sea-horse". Hippokampoi were the mounts of Nereid nymphs and sea-gods, and Poseidon drove a chariot drawn by two or four of the creatures.

Other fish-tailed land animals which appear in ancient art include the "Leokampos", "Taurokampos", "Pardalokampos", and "Aigikampos". The last was the form of the constellation Capricorn. Fabulous creatures of this type were believed to be common in the Indian Ocean.

The sons were named Eurylokhos, Phantes, Peristhenes, Hermos, Dryas, Potamon, Kisseus, Lixos, Imbros, Bromios, Polyktor, and Khthonios; the girls were Autonoe, Theano, Êlektrê, Kleopatra, Eurydike, Glaukippe, Antheleia, Kleodore, Euippe, Eratô, Stygne, and Bryke."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2.1,5 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Epistrophus

**Epistrophus** (Ἐπίστροφος) was the son of Iphitus by Hippolyte or Thrasybule and brother of Schedius. He was counted among the suitors of Helen. Together with his brother he led the Phokians on the side of the Akhaeans in the Trojan War, commanding forty ships. Epistrophus, was killed at the Trojan war by Hektor. Both brothers' bones, were carried back and buried at Antikyra. Their purported tomb existed until the Roman times.
Despoinê

DESPOINE (Δεσποινη) was a fertility goddess of the Arkadian Mystery cult of Akakesion. She was worshipped alongside her mother Demeter, sister Persephone, and Artemis. Her true name and function were revealed only to the intitiates.

Despoine was closely identified with the goddesses Persephone, Artemis and Hekate, all of whom bore the title "Despoine."
Dius

## Classical Text

"Then called he aloud to his sons, chiding Helenus and Paris and goodly Agathon and Pammon and Antiphonus and Polites, good at the war-cry, and Deiphobus and Hippothous and lordly Dius. To these nine the old man called aloud, and gave command:“Haste ye, base children that are my shame; would that ye all together in Hector's stead had been slain at the swift ships!"

- Homer. Iliad. 24.249 - 24.254
Harmonia

Harmonia was the goddess of harmony and concord. She was a daughter of Ares and Aphrodite and as such presided over both marital harmony, soothing strife and discord, and harmonious action of soldiers in war. Late Greek and Roman writers sometimes portrayed her as harmony in a more abstract sense--a deity who presided over cosmic balance.

Harmonia was born of Aphrodite's adulterous affair with the god Ares. She was awarded to Kadmos, hero and founder of Thebes, in a wedding attended by the gods. Hephaistos (Hephaestus), however, was still angry over his wife's betrayal and presented Harmonia with a cursed necklace, dooming her descendants to endless tragedy.

Following a string of family catastrophes the couple immigrated to Illyria where they battled various local tribes to found a new kingdom. Later the pair were transformed into serpents by the gods and carried off the Islands of the Blessed to live in peace.

In ancient Greek vase painting Harmonia appears in two scenes--firstly as the bride of Kadmos and secondly as a goddess in the retinue of the bridal Aphrodite. Harmonia's opposite number was Eris.
Hippothous (Son of Lethus)

Hippothous, son of Lethus, the son of Teutamides, a descendant of Pelasgus. He led the contingent of the Pelasgians during the Trojan War, along with his brother Pylaeus, and was killed by Ajax during the fight over the body of Patroclus.

## Classical Text

Now Hippothous, the glorious son of Pelasgian Lethus, was dragging the corpse by the foot through the fierce conflict, and had bound his baldric about the tendons of either ankle, doing pleasure unto Hector and the Trojans. But full swiftly upon him came evil that not one of them could ward off, how fain soever they were. For the son of Telamon, darting upon him through the throng, smote him from close at hand through the helmet with cheek-pieces of bronze; and the helm with horse-hair crest was cloven about the spear-point, smitten by the great spear and the strong hand; and the brain spurted forth from the wound along the socket of the spear all mingled with blood. There then his strength was loosed, and from his hands he let fall  to lie upon the ground the foot of great-hearted Patroclus, and hard thereby himself fell headlong upon the corpse, far from deep-soiled Larissa; nor paid he back to his dear parents the recompense of his upbringing, and but brief was the span of his life, for that he was laid low by the spear of great-souled Aias
- Homer, Iliad 17.288-17.303
Derimakheia

Derimakheia was one of the Amazons who came with Penthesilia to the Trojan War. Killed by Diomedes at Troy.

## Classical Text

And with her followed twelve beside, each one a princess, hot for war and battle grim, far-famous each, yet handmaids unto her: Penthesileia far outshone them all. As when in the broad sky amidst the stars the moon rides over all pre-eminent, when through the thunderclouds the cleaving heavens open, when sleep the fury-breathing winds; so peerless was she mid that charging host. Clonie was there, Polemusa, Derinoe, Evandre, and Antandre, and Bremusa, Hippothoe, dark-eyed Harmothoe, Alcibie, Derimacheia, Antibrote, and Thermodosa glorying with the spear. All these to battle fared with warrior-souled Penthesileia: even as when descends Dawn from Olympus' crest of adamant, Dawn, heart-exultant in her radiant steeds amidst the bright-haired Hours; and o'er them all, how flawless-fair soever these may be, her splendour of beauty glows pre-eminent; so peerless amid all the Amazons unto Troy-town Penthesileia came. To right, to left, from all sides hurrying thronged the Trojans, greatly marvelling, when they saw the tireless War-god's child, the mailed maid, like to the Blessed Gods; for in her face glowed beauty glorious and terrible. Her smile was ravishing: beneath her brows, her love-enkindling eyes shone like to stars, and with the crimson rose of shamefastness bright were her cheeks, and mantled over them unearthly grace with battle-prowess clad.

- Quintus Smyrnaeus. *Fall of Troy* i, 40 - i 72.
Kupesus

## Classical Text

This seems to be a good place to list the leaders who brought armies to aid King Priam against the Greeks and to tell the countries from which they came. Pandarus, Amphius, and Adrastus came from Zelia; Mopsus from Colophon; Asius from Phrygia; Amphimachus and Nastes from Caria; Sarpedon and Glaucus from Lycia; Hippothous and Cupesus from Larissa; Euphemus from Ciconia; Pirus and Acamas from Thrace; Pyraechmes and Asteropaeus from Paeonia; Ascanius and Phorcys from Phrygia; Antiphus and Mesthles from Maeonia; Pylaemenes from Paphlagonia; Perses and Memnon from Ethiopia; Rhesus and Archilochus from Thrace; Adrastus and Amphius from Adrestia; and Epistrophus and Odius from Alizonia. Priam made Hector commander-in-chief of these leaders and their armies. Second-in-command were Deiphobus, Alexander, Troilus, Aeneas, and Memnon.

While Agamemnon was making his plans complete, Palamedes, the son of Nauplius, arrived with thirty ships from Cormos.19 He had been incapacitated by sickness from coming to Athens and begged their pardon. They thanked him for coming when he was able and asked him to share in their counsels.
- Dares Phrygius, History of the Fall of Troy 18
Hippodamas

## Classical Text

"By other women Priam had sons, to wit, Melanippus, Gorgythion, Philaemon, Hippothous, Glaucus, Agathon, Chersidamas, Evagoras, Hippodamas, Mestor, Atas, Doryclus, Lycaon, Dryops, Bias, Chromius, Astygonus, Telestas, Evander, Cebriones, Mylius, Archemachus, Laodocus, Echephron, Idomeneus, Hyperion, Ascanius, Democoon, Aretus, Deiopites, Clonius, Echemmon, Hypirochus, Aegeoneus, Lysithous, Polymedon; and daughters, to wit, Medusa, Medesicaste, Lysimache, and Aristodeme."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3.12.5

Meanwhile Agamemnon and the two Ajaxes, amidst their general slaughter of insignificant opponents, caught and slew many of Priam’s sons. Agamemnon slew Aesacus and Deiopites and also Archemachus, Laudocus, and Philenor. THe Ajazes – both the son of Oileus and the Telamonian Ajax – slew Mylius, Astynous, Doryclus, Hippothous, and Hippodamas.

In another part of the field Patroclus and Sarpedon the Lycian had withdrawn from their men and were trying to protect the flanks of their respective armies. Driving out beyond the battle lines, they challenged each other to fight in single combat. First, they threw their spears, but neither hit the mark. Then, leaping from their chariots and drawing their swords, they came face to face and fought for much of the day, exchanging blows fast and furious, but neither could wound the other. Finally, Patroclus, realizing that he must act with greater boldness, crouched behind the protection of his shield and came to close quarters. With his right hand he dealt Sarpedon a crippling blow along the back sinews of the leg and then, pressing his body against him – Sarpedon was faint and beginning to totter – pushed him over and finished him off as he fell.
Eidôlones

The Eidôlones were daimones (spirits) or ghosts which possessed the living. The following two stories, describing Eidôlôn-possession, are set in Athens and India in the C1st A.D. The central figure of the tale, Apollonios of Tyana, was a respected pagan prophet of the age.

## Classical Text

"If we admit the author [Philostratus] to tell the truth in his stories of miracles, he yet clearly shows that they were severally performed by Apollonios with the co-operation of a Daimon (Demon) . . . The licentious youth was clearly the victim of an indwelling Daimon; and both it and the Empousa (Empusa) and the Lamia which is said to have played off its mad pranks on Menippos, were probably driven out by him with the help of a more important Daimon . . . You must then, as I said, regard the whole series of miracles wrought by him, as having been accomplished through a ministry of Daimones."
- Eusebius, Treatise of Eusebius Against Hierocles 31
Gorge (Danaid)

Gorge was the daughter of Danaus and either Atlanteiê or Phoibê (both Hamadryad nymphs of Libya in north Africa as well as wives of King Danaus).  Gorge would be one of the Danaides who murdered her husband (Hippothous) following the mass marriage of the daughters of Danaus to the sons of Aigyptos.

## Classical Text

"[The daughters of Danaus married the sons of Aigyptos:] *Hippodameia went to Istros, Rhodia to Khalkodon, Kleopatra to Agenor, Asteria to Khaetos, Phylodameia to Diokorystos, Glauke to Alkes, HippoMedusa to Alkmenor, Gorge to Hippothous, IphiMedusa to Eukhenor, and Rhode to Hippolytos. These ten sons had an Arabian mother, while the girls were the daughters variously of Atlanteia and Phoibe, two Hamadryas Nymphai."*

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 17 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Euênos

Euênos (Ευηνος) was a river-god of eastern Aitolia, in central Greece. The Aitolian prince Euênos threw himself into the river after failing to recover his abducted daughter Marpessa from the hero Idas. According to some he was then transformed into the god of the river.

The Euênos River had its headwaters in the Pindus mountain range. It flowed south through Aitolia, emptying into the Gulf near the town of Kalydon (Calydon). The most important neighboring rivers were the Akhelôios to the west, and Pleistos in the east.
Euphêmê

Euphêmê was a nymph of Mount Helikon in Boiotia (central Greece) who nursed the young goddess Mousai (Muses). Euphêmê was loved by the god Pan and bore him a son named Krotos who was a favorite of the nine goddesses.

Eupheme the "Well-Spoken" was probably the Naiad-nymph of the spring of Hippokrene (Hippocrene) on Mount Helikon whose waters were believed to inspire poets.
Dryas

Dryas was a native to Kalydon. Like Meleagros he was a son of Arês. Dryas took part in the hunt. While Dryas did survive the hunt, he did not do something to make him stand out.

Sometime after he returned from the hunt, his brother Tereus killed him. There had been a prophecy which Tereus had heard that said Tereus' son Itys would be killed by someone related to him (related to one Itys). In an attempt to outwit the prophecy and stop it from coming true, he murdered Dryas falsely believing that Dryas would be the one to try and kill Itys. As it turned out the one to kill Itys was Prokne.

## Classical Text

*"When Oineus [king of Kalydon] was offering his annual sacrifice of the first fruits of the land to all the gods, he overlooked Artemis. The wrathful goddess let loose a great and powerful wild boar, which made the earth unsowable and destroyed herds and people that encountered it. In order to get rid of this boar, Oineus called together all the best men of Hellas and proclaimed the skin as a trophy to the man who could slay it.*

Here are the people who gathered for the boar hunt : Oineus' son Meleagros (Meleager), and Dryas, son of Ares, both from Kalydon (Calydon); Idas and Lynkeus, sons of Aphareus, from Messene; Kastor (Castor) and Polydeukes (Polydeuces), sons of Zeus and Leda from Lakedaimon; Aegeus' son Theseus from Athens; Admetos us), the son of Pheres, from Pherai (Pherae); Iason (Jason), Aeson's son, from Iolkos (Iolcus); Iphikles (Iphicles), Amphitryon's son, from Thebes; Peirithoos (Pirithous), son of Ixion, from Larise (Larissa); Peleus, son of Aiakos (Aeacus), from Phthia; Atalante (Atalanta), the daughter of Skhoineus (Schoeneus), from Arkadia (Arcadia); and Amphiaraos, the son of Oikles (Oecles), from Argos. The sons of Thestios (Thestius) also attended the hunt."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 66 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Lernaean Hydra

The Lernaean Hydra was a gigantic, nine-headed water-serpent (it was said that the middle of the heads was immortal), which haunted the swamps of Lerna. It had poisonous breath, sharp and venomous teeth and blood which was poisonous itself. The hero to destroy her was none other than Herakles whose second labor had been to kill her. Herakles had brought with him his nephew Iolaos. She was drawn out by Herakles who threw burning javelins at her. Herakles approached in a chariot which was being driven by Iolaos. Herakles attacked the Hydra with his club or sword and decapitated one of the heads. Ioalos then waved a torch to drive back the Hydra. While the Hydra did retreat briefly it grew two heads in place of the one which had been cut off (much to the surprise of Herakles and Iolaos). Despite seeing what would happen, Herakles continued to attempt to cut off the heads each time having Iolaos drive the Hydra back with fire at which time each time two more heads sprung forth. Herakles idea of how to kill the Hydra after watching Iolaos wave the tourch to drive back the Hydra and saw some of the fire fall on the neck of a decapitated head cauterizing the Hydra's neck so no heads could grow. After observing this Herakles and Iolaos worked together with Herakles decapitating one head then having Iolaos place a torch against the neck then the two would fall back for Iolaos to re-light the torch so the duo could cut off another head. Eventually all that was left was the Hydra's immortal head and after Herakles cut it off and Iolaos cauterized its neck, Herakles buried the head under a great stone. Herakles then proceeded to chop up the Hydra's body and dipped several of his arrows in the poisonous blood of the Hydra.
Doryklus

Dorklus was one of the bastard sons of King Priam. He was killed by Ajax.

## Classical Text

"By other women Priam had sons, to wit, Melanippus, Gorgythion, Philaemon, Hippothous, Glaucus, Agathon, Chersidamas, Evagoras, Hippodamas, Mestor, Atas, Doryclus, Lycaon, Dryops, Bias, Chromius, Astygonus, Telestas, Evander, Cebriones, Mylius, Archemachus, Laodocus, Echephron, Idomeneus, Hyperion, Ascanius, Democoon, Aretus, Deiopites, Clonius, Echemmon, Hypirochus, Aegeoneus, Lysithous, Polymedon; and daughters, to wit, Medusa, Medesicaste, Lysimache, and Aristodeme."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3.12.5

"Then Aias leapt upon the Trojans and slew Doryclus, bastard son of Priam, and after him smote Pandocus with a thrust, and likewise Lysander and Pyrasus and Pylartes. And as when a river in flood cometh down upon a plain, a winter torrent from the mountains, driven on by the rain of Zeus, and many a dry oak and many a pine it beareth in its course, and much drift it casteth into the sea; even so glorious Aias charged tumultuously over the plain on that day, slaying horses and men. Nor did Hector as yet know aught thereof, for he was fighting on the left of all the battle by the banks of the river Scamander, where chiefly  the heads of warriors were falling, and a cry unquenchable arose, round about great Nestor and warlike Idomeneus. With these had Hector dalliance, and terrible deeds he wrought with the spear and in horsemanship, and he laid waste the battalions of the young men. Yet would the goodly Achaeans in no wise have given ground from their course, had not Alexander, the lord of fair-haired Helen, stayed Machaon, shepherd of the host, in the midst of his valorous deeds, and smitten him on the right shoulder with a three-barbed arrow. Then sorely did the Achaeans breathing might fear for him, lest haply men should slay him in the turning of the fight. And forthwith Idomeneus spake to goodly Nestor: "Nestor, son of Neleus, great glory of the Achaeans, come, get thee upon thy chariot, and let Machaon mount beside thee, and swiftly do thou drive to the ships thy single-hooved horses. For a leech is of the worth of many other men for the cutting out of arrows and the spreading of soothing simples."

-Homer, Illiad 11.498-11.515
Helenus

**Helenus** was the son of King Priam and Queen Hekabe of Troy, and the twin brother of the prophetess Kassandra. According to legend, Kassandra, having been given the power of prophecy by Apollôn, taught it to her brother. Like Kassandra, he was always right, but unlike her, others believed him.

## Mythology

Helenus was part of the Trojan forces led by his brother Hektor that beat the Greeks back from the plains west of Troy, and attacked their camp in the Iliad. When the Myrmidons led by Achilles turn the tide of battle and Hektor is killed, foreshadowing Troy's imminent fall, Helenus - like most of the greatest heroes - survived the poem.

In the final year of the Trojan War, Helenus vied against his brother Deiphobos for the hand of Helen of Troy after the death of their brother Paris, but Helen was awarded to Deiphobus. Disgruntled over his loss, Helenus retreated to Mount Ida, where Odysseus later captured him. He told the Greek forces—probably out of his disgruntlement—under what circumstances they could take Troy. He said that they would win if they stole the Trojan Palladium, brought the bones of Pelops to Troy, and persuaded Neoptolemus (Akhilles' son by the Skyrian princess Deidamia) and Philoktetes (who possessed Herakles' bow and arrows) to join the Greeks in the war. Neoptolemus was hiding from the war at Skyrus, but the Greeks retrieved him.
Hippodike

Hippodike was one of fifty Danaides who participated in the marriage to the fifty sons of Aigyptos.  Hippodike married Idas.  That night, she and all of her sisters but one killed their respective husbands with weapons provided by their father.

## Classical Text

"The youngest sons of Egyptus were these: Idas got Hippodice; Daiphron got Adiante (the mother who bore these damsels was Herse)..."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheke, 2.1.5
Eukhenor

Eukhenor was one of the fifty sons of King Aigyptos. Agenor's mother was an unnamed arabian woman. The same woman that gave birth to Eukhenor bore nine other sons to Aigyptos. In the mass wedding of the sons of Aigyptos to the daughters of Danaus, Eukhenor wed Iphimedousa

## Classical Text

"[The daughters of Danaus married the sons of Aigyptos:] Hippodameia went to Istros, Rhodia to Khalkodon, Kleopatra to Agenor, Asteria to Khaetos, Phylodameia to Diokorystos, Glauke to Alkes, Hippomedusa to Alkmenor, Gorge to Hippothous, Iphimedusa to Eukhenor, and Rhode to Hippolytos. These ten sons had an Arabian mother, while the girls were the daughters variously of Atlanteia and Phoibe, two Hamadryas Nymphai."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2.1.5 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Dôris (Okeanid)

Doris (Δωρις) is the Okeanid-nymph wife of the sea-god Nereus and the mother of the fifty Nereides. She is the goddess of the rich fishing-grounds found at the mouths of rivers where fresh water mingled with the brine. The Ôkeanides were of course sisters of the Rivers.

Her name is connected with two words--*dôron*, "gift" or "bounty," and *zôros*, "pure" and "unmixed." *Zôros* was often used to describe fresh water and from it were derived words such as *zôrua* "a pipe for running water" and *zôrux* "a canal or water conduit."
Gorgyra

Gorgyra (Γοργυρα) was a daimon (spirit) or nymph of the underworld who was the mother of Askalaphos, orchardist of Haides, by the river-god Akheron (Acheron).

Her names mean "underground drain" from the Greek word *gorgyra* and "darkness" and "night" from *orphnê*. As Gorgyra she was perhaps identified with the underworld river-goddess Styx and as Orphne with Nyx, the netherworld-dwelling goddess of the night.
