favour {for him}.

But still the wolf persists, not recalled from the furious slaughter,
{and} keenly urged by the sweetness of the blood; until she changes him
into marble, as he is fastening on the neck of a mangled heifer. His
body preserves every thing except its colour. The colour of the stone
shows that he is not now a wolf, and ought not now to be feared. Still,
the Fates do not permit the banished Peleus to settle in this land: the
wandering exile goes to the Magnetes,[31] and there receives from the
Haemonian Acastus[32] an expiation of the murder.

[Footnote 18: _Embraces of Thetis._--Ver. 226. Fulgentius
suggests, that the meaning of this is, that Jupiter, or fire, will
not unite with Thetis, who represents water.]

[Footnote 19: _Son of AEacus._--Ver. 227. Peleus was the son of
AEacus, who was the son of Jupiter, by AEgina, the daughter of

[Footnote 20: _Upon its waters._--Ver. 247. While libations were
made to the other Divinities, either on their altars, or on the
ground, the marine Deities were so honoured by pouring wine on the
waves of the sea.]

[Footnote 21: _Carpathian._--Ver. 249. The Carpathian sea was so
called from the Isle of Carpathus, which lay between the island of
Rhodes and the Egyptian coast.]

[Footnote 22: _Trachinian land._--Ver. 269. Apollodorus says, that
Peleus, when exiled, repaired to Phthia, and not to the city of
Trachyn.]

[Footnote 23: _Symbols of peace._--Ver. 276. The 'velamenta' were
branches of olive, surrounded with bandages of wool, which were
held in the hands of those who begged for mercy or pardon. The
wool covering the hand was emblematical of peace, the hand being
thereby rendered powerless to effect mischief.]

[Footnote 24: _Who summons forth._--Ver. 296. This is a
periphrasis for Lucifer, or the Morning Star, which precedes, and
appears to summon the dawn.]

[Footnote 25: _Thisbean doves._--Ver. 300. Thisbe was a town of
Boeotia, so called from Thisbe, the daughter of AEsopus. It was
famous for the number of doves which it produced.]

[Footnote 26: _Father's skill._--Ver. 314. Being the son of
Mercury, who was noted for his thieving propensities.]

[Footnote 27: _Her ancestor._--Ver. 319. Jupiter was the
great-grandfather of Chione, being the father of Lucifer, and the
grandfather of Daedalion.]
