This is one of the more interesting episodes of Ancient Greek mythology. The episode took place a very long time ago, and even Dr. Smith gives only its bare outline in his Classical Dictionary; the many other learned writers whose works we have consulted are little more generous, so we have had to use our imagination to fill in the details: and who can prove that we are wrong? Note that in the operetta, the Roman names for the Gods are used. The earlier Greek names are shown in brackets. For the detailed synopsis click here. |
