ALCAEUS

e.g And when thou stolest away the oxen of
Apollo, ‘tis true he found them, being Lord ot
divination; but when he threatened thee full
direly, then thou stolest away the very bow and
arrows that were upon his shoulder: whereat he
! smiled, and gave thee the divining-staff from
which men know thee to this day as ‘ God of the
golden wand,’ and himself received from thee
| the lyre whence he is called ‘ Wielder of gold.’

6 To ATHENA

Strabo Goography: When they conquered Coronea, the
Hocotians built in the plain which lies before it the temple
of Itonian Athena, enlling it after the Thessalian one, and
named the river which flows beside it Cuarius after the river
in Thessaly. But Alcaeus calls it Coilius, saying:

O Queen Athena, upholder of War, who standest,
we know, watching over Coronea before a stream-
flanked temple on the banks of the Coiilius

And it is here that they used to hold the Pan-Bovotian
festival.
