[842] See Pausanias, viii. 14.

[843] Two were to be sent for 1,000 continuous years. So the Oracle.

[854] Sons of Ca.s.sander.

[855] "Iliad" vi. 146-149.

[856] Compare Plato, "Phaedrus," 276 B. These gardens of Adonis were what we might call flowerpot gardens. See Erasmus, "Adagia."

[857] [Greek: euthys] seems the best reading, [Greek: aei] is flat.

[858] Apollo.

[859] See -- xii.

[860] Hesiod, "Works and Days," 735, 736.

[861] Compare the French Proverb, "L'occasion fait le larron." And Juvenal's "Nemo repente fuit turp.i.s.simus."

[862] So Reiske very ingeniously.

[863] A rather far-fetched pedigree.

[872] Latin Puteoli.

[873] Vespasian. See Suetonius, "Vespasian," ch. 24, as to the particulars of his death.
