"You remember your poem, Pen, of Ariadne in Naxos," Warrington said; "devilish bad poetry it was, to be sure." "Apres?" asked Pen, in a great state of excitement. "When Theseus left Ariadne, do you remember what happened to her, young fellow?" "It's a lie, it's a lie! You don't mean that!" cried out Pen, starting up, his face turning red.
There he met with a merchantman on the point of starting for Ionia. Going on board, he was carried by a storm to the Athenian squadron which was blockading Naxos. In his alarm he was luckily unknown to the people in the vessel he told the master who he was and what he was flying for, and said that, if he refused to save him, he would declare that he was taking him for a bribe.
Naxos revolts from the Ionian League. Is besieged by Cimon. Conspiracy and Fate of Pausanias. Flight and Adventures of Themistocles. His Death. I. The military abilities and early habits of Cimon naturally conspired with past success to direct his ambition rather to warlike than to civil distinctions.
The Deacon's daughters the tall, blue-eyed, brown-locked girls you noticed in meeting the other day set the example among the young people of treating her as their equal and companion. The dear good girls! They reminded me of the maidens of Naxos cheering and comforting the unhappy Ariadne.
He then sailed away with Ariadne, whom he deserted in the island of Dia or Naxos, an event which frequently forms the subject of ancient works of art. The sails of the ship Theseus left Athens in were black, but he promised his father, if he returned in safety, to hoist white sails.
In the Attic township of Acharnae there was a Dionysus Ivy; at Lacedaemon there was a Fig Dionysus; and in Naxos, where figs were called meilicha, there was a Dionysus Meilichios, the face of whose image was made of fig-wood. Further, there are indications, few but significant, that Dionysus was conceived as a deity of agriculture and the corn.
In pursuance of this fatal policy Alcibiades crossed over to Messene, and tried to win over that city to the side of Athens. Meeting with no success, he returned to Rhegium, and immediately afterwards he and one of his colleagues sailed with a force of sixty triremes to Naxos.
She was left alone on Naxos now while James went sharply to his papers. There I must leave her, till the hour when she could bear the room no more. She had fought with beasts there, and had prevailed. Papers! Papers, after such a kiss! Oh, the folly of the wise!
Twice, the nobles, by uniting all their strength, succeeded in overthrowing him, and when, the third time, assisted by Lygdamis of Naxos, the Argives and Eretrians, he attempted to return, we opposed him again.
Then they fled to their ship together, and leapt on board, and hoisted up the sail; and the night lay dark around them, so that they passed through Minos' ships, and escaped all safe to Naxos; and there Ariadne became Theseus' wife. But that fair Ariadne never came to Athens with her husband.
