Apollonius Preeewes: The pronoun tees is Dorie for σῆς
‘thy’... amd oeewrs in the Aeolicg writers: compare
Aleaeus Book I:
and may thy daughter lead the enterprise |

132 [Τὸ Love?]|

Btymeegievm Gudionum: For tlowers are called ventle
[that is. cultivated as opposed to wild.] vecause they vrow
in the Spring which is the particular season of love. And
that is why Aleaeus calls Love the child οἱ Zephyr or the
West-Wind and Iris or the Rainbow.

Plutarch dimatertes: Although the poets generally seem
to write and sing praise of Love in a jesting mood, some-
times, whether of their own choice and reflexion or ly the
grave ut (τοῦ, they get at the truth and treat of him
seriously, as for instance in the matter of his birth:

awfullest of Gods, whom sandalled Iris bore
to Zephyr of the golden hair
—unless indeed you follow the zramimarians in holling that
the description is aimed at the motley and various nature of
the passion.

From a Second-Century Papyrus:

Come ye hither from star-bright Olympus, ye
stalwart children of Zeus and Leda, and shine forth
in propitious wise, O Castor and Polydeuces, who go
on swift-tooted horses over broad earth and all the
sea,and do so easily save men from lamentable death
