Question for Lauren
Posted by sophie on 09 Jan 2015 in Activity log
I can't figure out which death goddesses Butler is refering to when he says "Strife and Riot, and fell Fate who was dragging three men after her" il bk 18.509
here is the greek:
στησάμενοι δ᾽ ἐμάχοντο μάχην ποταμοῖο παρ᾽ ὄχθας,
βάλλον δ᾽ ἀλλήλους χαλκήρεσιν ἐγχείῃσιν.
535ἐν δ᾽ Ἔρις ἐν δὲ Κυδοιμὸς ὁμίλεον, ἐν δ᾽ ὀλοὴ Κήρ,
ἄλλον ζωὸν ἔχουσα νεούτατον, ἄλλον ἄουτον,
ἄλλον τεθνηῶτα κατὰ μόθον ἕλκε ποδοῖιν:
εἷμα δ᾽ ἔχ᾽ ἀμφ᾽ ὤμοισι δαφοινεὸν αἵματι φωτῶν.
ὡμίλευν δ᾽ ὥς τε ζωοὶ βροτοὶ ἠδ᾽ ἐμάχοντο,
540νεκρούς τ᾽ ἀλλήλων ἔρυον κατατεθνηῶτας.
I figured out Strife is Eris. Is Riot Enyo?
