Some legends attracted folktale elements and spread beyond their original region. Others owe their fame to the quality of a literary narrative, for example, Ovid's story of Pyramus and Thisbe. The myths in this chapter are arranged by region. CENTRAL GREECE: THESSALY, PHTHIA AND TRACHIS Ixion and Centaurus . IXION [ik-seye'on], king of the Thessalian Lapiths, was the first mortal to murder a relative, when he lured his wife's father, Eioneus, to his death. Only Zeus could purify him for this unprecedented crime, yet after his purification, Ixion attempted to lie with Hera. In her place Zeus put a cloud (Nephele), whose child was the monster Centaurus, from whom descended the race of CENTAURS [sen'tawrs], half-human and half-equine. Ixion was punished in the Underworld (or, in an earlier version, in the sky) bound to the spokes of an ever-revolving wheel (see M/L, Chapter 15).

Throughout the reign to Arcadius there was estrangement and jealousy between the bc brothers or their governments. The principal ground of ed is hostility was probably dissatisfaction on both sides with of e territorial partition. The line had been drawn east of N~ tlmatia. The ministers of Arcadius desired to annex Dalmatia de his portion, while the general Stilicho, who was supreme in he e west, wished to wrest from the eastern realm the prefecture th Illyricum or a considerable part of it.

By Plutarch Written 75 A.C.E. Translated by John Dryden The grandfather of Lucullus had been consul; his uncle by the mother's side was Metellus, surnamed Numidicus. As for his parents, his father was convicted of extortion, and his mother Caecilia's reputation was bad. The first thing that Lucullus did before ever he stood for any office, or meddled with the affairs of state, being then but a youth, was to accuse the accuser of his father, Servilius the augur, having caught him in offence against the state. This thing was much taken notice of among the Romans, who commended it as an act of high merit.
