"Hear me," he said, "Trojans, Dardanians, and allies, that I may speak even as I am minded. Let us give up Argive Helen and her wealth to the sons of Atreus, for we are now fighting in violation of our solemn covenants, and shall not prosper till we have done as I say." He then sat down and Alexandrus husband of lovely Helen rose to speak.
For some time past, the Epidaurians, who were in alliance with Sparta, had been involved in a dispute, arising out of some obscure question of ritual, with Argos; and they were now in sore straits, being hard pressed by the whole weight of the Argive power, backed by the new confederacy.
As they proceeded thus in marching order, and quite unprepared for any hostile movement, the Spartans suddenly found themselves face to face with the whole Argive army, drawn up in order of battle. Thanks to this perfect organization, in a very few minutes every man was in his place and ready for battle.
Say, Rei, dost thou know the magic of Meriamun? Dost thou know how she won me to herself in the shape of Argive Helen?" And then, in as few words as might be, he told Rei how he had been led away by the magic of Meriamun, how he who should have sworn by the Star had sworn by the Snake. When Rei heard that the Wanderer had sworn by the Snake, he shuddered. "Now I know all," he said.
Thus genealogies, and accounts of the origin of states and deities, made the first subjects of history, and inspired the Argive Acusilaus , and, as far as we can plausibly conjecture, the Milesian Cadmus.
Besides many other objects of interest, there have been brought to light several fragments of the metopes of the second temple, which, together with a few fragments from the same source found earlier, form a precious collection of materials for the study of the Argive school of sculpture of about 420.
From thence they reached and crossed Mount Thymaus, which belongs to the Agraeans, and descended into the Argive territory after nightfall, and passing between the city of Argos and the Acarnanian posts at Crenae, joined the Ambraciots at Olpae. Uniting here at daybreak, they sat down at the place called Metropolis, and encamped.
Lady Persephone, never may we have more than one master. I am not afraid of YOUR putting me on short commons. Gorgo. Hush, hush, Praxinoe the Argive woman's daughter, the great singer, is beginning the Adonis; she that won the prize last year for dirge-singing. I am sure she will give us something lovely; see, she is preluding with her airs and graces. The Psalm of Adonis.
VII. Coming now to the tragedy of "Antigone," we find the prophecy of Oedipus has been fulfilled the brothers have fallen by the hand of each other the Argive army has been defeated Creon has obtained the tyranny, and interdicts, on the penalty of death, the burial of Polynices, whose corpse remains guarded and unhonoured.
Pliny makes Myron the pupil of an influential Argive master, Ageladas, who belongs in the late archaic period. Whether or not such a relation actually existed, the statement is useful as a reminder of the probability that Argos and Athens were artistically in touch with one another. Beyond this, we get no direct testimony as to the circumstances of Myron's life.
