d; for he says: 'Sons were born to god-like Lycaon whom Pelasgus once begot.' Fragment #32--Stephanus of Byzantium: Pallantium. A city of Arcadia, so named after Pallas, one of Lycaon's sons, according to Hesiod. Fragment #33--(Unknown): 'Famous Meliboea bare Phellus the good spear-man.' Fragment #34--Herodian, On Peculiar Diction, p. 18: In Hesiod in the second Catalogue: 'Who once hid the torch [1727] within.' Fragment #35--Herodian, On Peculiar Diction, p. 42: Hesiod in the third Catalogue writes: 'And a resounding thud of feet rose up.' Fragment #36--Apollonius Dyscolus [1728], On the Pronoun, p. 125: 'And a great trouble to themselves.' Fragment #37--Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. i. 45: Neither Homer nor Hesiod speak of Iphiclus as amongst the Argonauts. Fragment #38--'Eratosthenes' [1729], Catast. xix. p. 124: The Ram.]--This it was that transported Phrixus and Helle. It was immortal and was given them by their mother Nephele, and had a golden fleece, as Hesiod and Pherecydes say. Fragment #39--Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. ii. 181: Hesiod in the "Great Eoiae" says that Phineus was blinded because he revealed to Phrixus the road; but in the third "Catalogue", because he preferred long life to sight. Hesiod says he had two sons, Thynus and Mariandynus. Ephorus [1730] in Strabo, vii. 302: Hesiod, in the so-called Journey round the Earth, says that Phineus was brought by the Harpies 'to the land of milk-feeders [1731] who have waggons for houses.' Fragment #40A--(Cp. Fr. 43 and 44) Oxyrhynchus Papyri 1358 fr. 2 (3rd cent. A.D.): [1732] ((LACUNA--Slight remains of 7 lines)) (ll. 8-35) '(The Sons of Boreas pursued the Harpies) to the lands of the Massagetae and of the proud Half-Dog men, of the Underground-folk and of the feeble Pygmies; and to the tribes of the boundless Black-skins and the Libyans. Huge Earth bare these to Epaphus--soothsaying people, knowing seercraft by the will of Zeus the lord of oracles, but deceivers, to the end that men whose thought passes their utterance [1733] might be subject to the gods and suffer harm--Aethiopians and Libyans and mare-milking Scythians. For verily Epaphus was the child of the almighty Son of Cronos, and from him sprang the dark Libyans, and high-souled Aethiopians, and the Underground-folk and feeble Pygmies. All these are the offspring of the lord, the Loud-thunderer. Round about all these (the Sons of Boreas)
