Hesiod, The Homeric Hymns, and Homerica [50]
Earth the all- nourishing bare far off by the tumbling streams of deep-flowing Eridanus.... ....of amber, feeding her wide-scattered offspring -- and about the steep Fawn mountain and rugged Etna to the isle Ortygia and the people sprung from Laestrygon who was the son of wide-reigning Poseidon. Twice ranged the Sons of Boreas along this coast and wheeled round and about yearning to catch the Harpies, while they strove to escape and avoid them. And they sped to the tribe of the haughty Cephallenians, the people of patient-souled Odysseus whom in aftertime Calypso the queenly nymph detained for Poseidon. Then they came to the land of the lord the son of Ares.... ....they heard. Yet still (the Sons of Boreas) ever pursued them with instant feet. So they (the Harpies) sped over the sea and through the fruitless air...'
Fragment #40 -- Strabo, vii. p. 300: `The Aethiopians and Ligurians and mare-milking Scythians.'
Fragment #41 -- Apollodorus, i. 9.21.6: As they were being pursued, one of the Harpies fell into the river Tigris, in Peloponnesus which is now called Harpys after her. Some call this one Nicothoe, and others Aellopus. The other who was called Ocypete, or as some say Ocythoe (though Hesiod calls her Ocypus), fled down the Propontis and reached as far as to the Echinades islands which are now called because of her, Strophades (Turning Islands).
Fragment #42 -- Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. ii. 297: Hesiod also says that those with Zetes (34) turned and prayed to Zeus: `There they prayed to the lord of Aenos who reigns on high.'
Apollonius indeed says it was Iris who made Zetes and his following turn away, but Hesiod says Hermes.
Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. ii. 296: Others say (the islands) were called Strophades, because they turned there and prayed Zeus to seize the Harpies. But according to Hesiod... they were not killed.
Fragment #43 -- Philodemus (35), On Piety, 10: Nor let anyone mock at Hesiod who mentions.... or even the Troglodytes and the Pygmies.
Fragment #44 -- Strabo, i. p. 43: No one would accuse Hesiod of ignorance though he speaks of the Half-dog people and the Great-Headed people and the Pygmies.
Fragment #45 -- Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. iv. 284: But Hesiod says they (the Argonauts) had sailed in through the Phasis.
Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. iv. 259: But Hesiod (says).... they came through the Ocean to Libya, and so, carrying the Argo, reached our sea.
Fragment #46 -- Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. iii. 311: Apollonius, following Hesiod, says that Circe came to the island over against Tyrrhenia on the chariot of the Sun. And he called it Hesperian, because it lies toward the west.
Fragment #47 -- Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. iv. 892: He (Apollonius) followed Hesiod who thus names the island of the Sirens: `To the island Anthemoessa (Flowery) which the son of Cronos gave them.'
And their names are Thelxiope or Thelxinoe, Molpe and Aglaophonus (36).
Scholiast on Homer, Od. xii. 168: Hence Hesiod said that they charmed even the winds.
Fragment #48 -- Scholiast on Homer, Od. i. 85: Hesiod says that Ogygia is within towards the west, but Ogylia lies over against Crete: `...the Ogylian sea and... ...the island Ogylia.'
Fragment #49 -- Scholiast on Homer, Od. vii. 54: Hesiod regarded Arete as the sister of Alcinous.
Fragment #50 -- Scholiast on Pindar, Ol. x. 46: Her Hippostratus (did wed), a scion of Ares, the splendid son of Phyetes, of the line of Amarynces, leader of the Epeians.
Fragment #51 -- Apollodorus, i. 8.4.1: When Althea was dead, Oeneus married Periboea, the daughter of Hipponous. Hesiod says that she was seduced by Hippostratus the son of Amarynces and that her father Hipponous sent her from Olenus in Achaea to Oeneus because he was far away from Hellas, bidding him kill her.
`She used to dwell on the cliff of Olenus by the banks of wide Peirus.'
