But when Zeus arrived, his mother gave Kronos a stone to eat in place of the child, and hurried off the babe to Crete, where it was nourished in a cave by the Corybantes, who sounded cymbals and drums to drown his cries. There was a Charonion at Hierapolis, an account of which we get from Apulaeus and Dio Cassius. It was deep.
"Si, signore, si, signore, one earns nothing. It is a hard life, Per Dio!" He stopped and stared hard at the stranger with his hands on his hips. His eyes, his whole expression and attitude said, "What are you up to?" "America is the country for a sharp-witted man to make his fortune in," said Artois, returning his gaze. "Si, signore. Many go from here. I know many who are working in America.
This remark increased my anxiety, and made me more eager than ever to be off. I was looking out for Dio, and was inquiring for him, when he appeared mounted on a little mustang, with a brace of pistols in his belt, a soldier's carbine slung over his back, and a sword by his side. "Dey no want me to go," he said, "but I say I fight as well as dey."
Do you know what she has done the woman whom you criticise as a bad manager and stigmatize as mean I would not care what you said, if you had not thought Leonora mean! Dio mio, MEAN! Know, then, that the very jewels she wears are false; that the real ones have been sold to pay the debts of the man standing before you the gambling debts of the head of one of the noblest houses in Italy!"

Mr Tidey sent Dio back to report our discovery to my father, while we rode backwards and forwards several times to assure ourselves that the ford was of ample width to allow not only one waggon but two or three to cross abreast if necessary; by the time the leading waggon arrived we had thoroughly surveyed the ford, and it at once began to descend the slope to the water's edge.
The Roman legionaries were supported by numerous light-armed troops, and a powerful body of Mauritanian cavalry. According to Dio, the first engagement was brought on accidentally by a contest which arose among the soldiers for the possession of a watering-place.
Dio Cassius can scarcely be mistaken when he says that Tyre and Sidon were "enslaved" i.e. deprived of freedom by Augustus, who must certainly have revoked the privilege originally granted by Pompey. Whether the privilege was afterwards restored is somewhat uncertain; but there is distinct evidence that more than one of the later emperors was favourably disposed to Rome's Phoenician subjects.
"Oh, per amore di Dio, Signor Giovacchino, don't talk in that way. Never heard of again! I shall be really uneasy if I don't hear of her again in a very few minutes. It is so extraordinary. What can have become of her?" "Become of her! Why, she waited, of course: got tired of waiting for you, and so strolled back to the town. That sort of lady does not much like waiting, I fancy."
