But, according to another account, the hero was himself called Alcaeus before he received the name of Hercules from Apollo. See Sextus Empiricus, pp. 3985. F ed. Im. Bekker; Scholiast on Pindar, Olymp. vi. 68 (115) And she told him to dwell in Tiryns, serving Eurystheus for twelve years and to perform the ten labours imposed on him, and so, she said, when the tasks were accomplished, he would be immortal. 1 V. When Hercules heard that, he went to Tiryns and did as he was bid by Eurystheus. First, Eurystheus ordered him to bring the skin of the Nemean lion;2 now that was an invulnerable beast begotten by Typhon. On his way to attack the lion he came to Cleonae and lodged at the house of a day-labourer, Molorchus;3 and when his host would have offered a victim in sacrifice, Hercules told him to wait for thirty days, and then, if he had returned safe from the hunt, to sacrifice to Saviour Zeus, but if he were dead, to sacrifice to him as to a hero. 4 And having The verbal distinction can hardly be preserved in English, except by a periphrasis.

Excerpt: . . . the cave where Calypso lived was a blossoming wood--alder, poplar and cypress trees were there, and on their branches roosted long-winged birds--falcons and owls and chattering sea-crows. Before the cave was a soft meadow in which thousands of violets bloomed, and with four fountains that gushed out of the ground and made clear streams. 124. through the grass. Across the cave grew a straggling vine, heavy with clusters of grapes. Calypso was within the cave, and as Hermes came near, he heard her singing one of her magic songs. She was before a loom weaving the threads with a golden shuttle. Now she knew Hermes and was pleased to see him on her Island, but as soon as he spoke of Odysseus and how it was the will of Zeus that he should be permitted to leave the Island, her song ceased and the golden shuttle fell from her hand. Woe to me, she said, and woe to any immortal who loves a mortal, for the gods are always jealous of their love. I do not hold him here because I hate Odysseus, but because I love him greatly, and would have him dwell with me here--more than this, Hermes, I would make him an immortal so that he would know neither old age nor death. He does not desire to be freed from old age and death, said Hermes. He desires to return to his own land and to live with his dear wife, Penelope, and his son, Telema-chus. And Zeus, the greatest of the gods, commands that you let him go upon his way. I have no ship to give him, said Calypso, and I have no company of men to help him to cross the sea. He must leave the Island and cross the sea--Zeus commands it, Hermes said. I must help him to make his way across the sea if it must be so, Calypso said. Then she bowed her head and Hermes went from her. Straightway Calypso left her cave. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
