Hippomenes seeks my coy-eyed daughter to wife but let him now hear my wholesome speech. "'Hear me all, both young and old, while I speak as my spirit within my breast bids me. All these kept silence but Schoeneus cried and said: As she moved, the breath of the west wind stirred the shining garment about her tender bosom but Hippomenes stood where he was: and much people was gathered together. "Then straightway there rose up against him the trim-ankled maiden (Atalanta), peerless in beauty: a great throng stood round about her as she gazed fiercely, and wonder held all men as they looked upon her.
Hesiod is therefore later in date than Homer since he represents Hippomenes as stripped when contending with Atalanta. And he wedded the dear child of the great-hearted Iobates, the worshipful king.lord (of).and she bare." With him Bellerophon caught and slew the fire-breathing Chimera.
And when he began to roam, his father gave him Pegasus who would bear him most swiftly on his wings, and flew unwearying everywhere over the earth, for like the gales he would course along. So she lay in the arms of Poseidon and bare in the house of Glaucus blameless Bellerophon, surpassing all men in.over the boundless sea. So Glaucus came seeking her to wife with gifts but cloud-driving Zeus, king of the deathless gods, bent his head in oath that the.son of Sisyphus should never have children born of one father. But he knew not at all the intent of Zeus who holds the aegis. Her, then, Glaucus sought to win by Athena's advising, and he drove oxen for her.
A marvellous scent rose from her silvern raiment as she moved, and beauty was wafted from her eyes. Eurynome the daughter of Nisus, Pandion's son, to whom Pallas Athena taught all her art, both wit and wisdom too for she was as wise as the gods.
