6.473
Now you complain, Phrygian Tithonus, abandoned by your bride, 6.474 And the vigilant Morning Star leaves the Eastern waters. 6.475 Good mothers (since the Matralia is your festival), 6.476 Go, offer the Theban goddess the golden cakes she’s owed. 6.477 Near the bridges and mighty Circus is a famous square, 6.478 One that takes its name from the statue of an ox: 6.479 There, on this day, they say, Servius with his own 6.480 Royal hands, consecrated a temple to Mother Matruta. 6.481 Bacchus, whose hair is twined with clustered grapes, 6.482 If the goddess’ house is also yours, guide the poet’s work, 6.483 Regarding who the goddess is, and why she exclude 6.484 (Since she does) female servants from the threshold 6.485 of her temple, and why she calls for toasted cakes. 6.486 Semele was burnt by Jove’s compliance: Ino 6.487 Received you as a baby, and nursed you with utmost care. 6.488 Juno swelled with rage, that Ino should raise a child 6.489 Snatched from Jove’s lover: but it was her sister’s son. 6.490 So Athamas was haunted by the Furies, and false visions, 6.491 And little Learchus died by his father’s hand. 6.492 His grieving mother committed his shade to the tomb. 6.493 And paid the honours due to the sad pyre. 6.494 Then tearing her hair in sorrow, she leapt up 6.495 And snatched you from your cradle, Melicertes. 6.496 There’s a narrow headland between two seas, 6.497 A single space attacked by twofold waves: 6.498 There Ino came, clutching her son in her frenzied grasp, 6.499 And threw herself, with him, from a high cliff into the sea. 6.500 Panope and her hundred sisters received them unharmed, 6.501 And gliding smoothly carried them through their realm. 6.502 They reached the mouth of densely eddying Tiber, 6.503 Before they became Leucothea and Palaemon. 6.504 There was a grove: known either as Semele’s or Stimula’s: 6.505 Inhabited, they say, by Italian Maenads. 6.506 Ino, asking them their nation, learned they were Arcadians, 6.507 And that Evander was the king of the place. 6.508 Hiding her divinity, Saturn’s daughter cleverly 6.509 Incited the Latian Bacchae with deceiving words: 6.510 ‘O too-easy-natured ones, caught by every feeling! 6.511 This stranger comes, but not as a friend, to our gathering. 6.512 She’s treacherous, and would learn our sacred rites: 6.513 But she has a child on whom we can wreak punishment.’ 6.514 She’d scarcely ended when the Thyiads, hair streaming 6.515 Over their necks, filled the air with their howling, 6.516 Laid hands on Ino, and tried to snatch the boy. 6.517 She invoked gods with names as yet unknown to her: 6.518 ‘Gods, and men, of this land, help a wretched mother!’ 6.519 Her cry carried to the neighbouring Aventine. 6.520 Oetaean Hercules having driven the Iberian cattle 6.521 To the riverbank, heard and hurried towards the voice. 6.522 As he arrived, the women who’d been ready for violence, 6.523 Shamefully turned their backs in cowardly flight. 6.524 ‘What are you doing here,’ said Hercules (recognising her), 6.525 ‘Sister of Bacchus’ mother? Does Juno persecute you too?’ 6.526 She told him part of her tale, suppressing the rest because of her son: 6.527 Ashamed to have been goaded to crime by the Furies. 6.528 Rumour, so swift, flew on beating wings, 6.529 And your name was on many a lip, Ino. 6.530 It’s said you entered loyal Carmentis’ home 6.531 As a guest, and assuaged your great hunger: 6.532 They say the Tegean priestess quickly made cake 6.533 With her own hands, and baked them on the hearth. 6.534 Now cakes delight the goddess at the Matralia: 6.535 Country ways pleased her more than art’s attentions. 6.536 ‘Now, O prophetess,’ she said, ‘reveal my future fate, 6.537 As far as is right. Add this, I beg, to your hospitality.’ 6.538 A pause ensued. Then the prophetess assumed divine powers, 6.539 And her whole breast filled with the presence of the god: 6.540 You’d hardly have known her then, so much taller 6.541 And holier she’d become than a moment before. 6.542 ‘I sing good news, Ino,’ she said, ‘your trials are over, 6.543 Be a blessing to your people for evermore. 6.544 You’ll be a sea goddess, and your son will inhabit ocean. 6.545 Take different names now, among your own waves: 6.546 Greeks will call you Leucothea, our people Matuta: 6.547 Your son will have complete command of harbours, 6.548 We’ll call him Portunus, Palaemon in his own tongue. 6.549 Go, and both be friends, I beg you, of our country!’ 6.550 Ino nodded, and gave her promise. Their trials were over, 6.551 They changed their names: he’s a god and she’s a goddess. 6.552 You ask why she forbids the approach of female servants? 6.553 She hates them: by her leave I’ll sing the reason for her hate. 6.554 Daughter of Cadmus, one of your maid 6.555 Was often embraced by your husband. 6.556 Faithless Athamas secretly enjoyed her: he learned 6.557 From her that you gave the farmers parched seed. 6.558 You yourself denied it, but rumour confirmed it. 6.559 That’s why you hate the service of a maid. 6.560 But let no loving mother pray to her, for her child: 6.561 She herself proved an unfortunate parent. 6.562 Better command her to help another’s child: 6.563 She was more use to Bacchus than her own. 6.564 They say she asked you, Rutilius, ‘Where are you rushing? 6.565 As consul you’ll fall to the Marsian enemy on my day.’ 6.566 Her words were fulfilled, the Tolenu 6.567 Flowed purple, its waters mixed with blood. 6.568 The following year, Didius, killed on the same'' None

Διόνυσος δὲ εὑρετὴς ἀμπέλου γενόμενος, Ἥρας μανίαν αὐτῷ ἐμβαλούσης περιπλανᾶται Αἴγυπτόν τε καὶ Συρίαν. καὶ τὸ μὲν πρῶτον Πρωτεὺς αὐτὸν ὑποδέχεται βασιλεὺς Αἰγυπτίων, αὖθις δὲ εἰς Κύβελα τῆς Φρυγίας ἀφικνεῖται, κἀκεῖ καθαρθεὶς ὑπὸ Ῥέας καὶ τὰς τελετὰς ἐκμαθών, καὶ λαβὼν παρʼ ἐκείνης τὴν στολήν, ἐπὶ Ἰνδοὺς 1 -- διὰ τῆς Θράκης ἠπείγετο.

Ἠδωνοὶ δὲ ἀκούσαντες εἰς τὸ Παγγαῖον αὐτὸν ἀπαγαγόντες ὄρος ἔδησαν, κἀκεῖ κατὰ Διονύσου βούλησιν ὑπὸ ἵππων διαφθαρεὶς ἀπέθανε.'' None

3.4.3 But Zeus loved Semele and bedded with her unknown to Hera. Now Zeus had agreed to do for her whatever she asked, and deceived by Hera she asked that he would come to her as he came when he was wooing Hera. Unable to refuse, Zeus came to her bridal chamber in a chariot, with lightnings and thunderings, and launched a thunderbolt. But Semele expired of fright, and Zeus, snatching the sixth-month abortive child from the fire, sewed it in his thigh. On the death of Semele the other daughters of Cadmus spread a report that Semele had bedded with a mortal man, and had falsely accused Zeus, and that therefore she had been blasted by thunder. But at the proper time Zeus undid the stitches and gave birth to Dionysus, and entrusted him to Hermes. And he conveyed him to Ino and Athamas, and persuaded them to rear him as a girl. But Hera indigtly drove them mad, and Athamas hunted his elder son Learchus as a deer and killed him, and Ino threw Melicertes into a boiling cauldron, then carrying it with the dead child she sprang into the deep. And she herself is called Leucothea, and the boy is called Palaemon, such being the names they get from sailors; for they succour storm-tossed mariners. And the Isthmian games were instituted by Sisyphus in honor of Melicertes. But Zeus eluded the wrath of Hera by turning Dionysus into a kid, and Hermes took him and brought him to the nymphs who dwelt at Nysa in Asia, whom Zeus afterwards changed into stars and named them the Hyades.' "
3.5.1
Dionysus discovered the vine, and being driven mad by Hera he roamed about Egypt and Syria . At first he was received by Proteus, king of Egypt, but afterwards he arrived at Cybela in Phrygia . And there, after he had been purified by Rhea and learned the rites of initiation, he received from her the costume and hastened through Thrace against the Indians. But Lycurgus, son of Dryas, was king of the Edonians, who dwell beside the river Strymon, and he was the first who insulted and expelled him. Dionysus took refuge in the sea with Thetis, daughter of Nereus, and the Bacchanals were taken prisoners together with the multitude of Satyrs that attended him. But afterwards the Bacchanals were suddenly released, and Dionysus drove Lycurgus mad. And in his madness he struck his son Dryas dead with an axe, imagining that he was lopping a branch of a vine, and when he had cut off his son's extremities, he recovered his senses. But the land remaining barren, the god declared oracularly that it would bear fruit if Lycurgus were put to death. On hearing that, the Edonians led him to Mount Pangaeum and bound him, and there by the will of Dionysus he died, destroyed by horses."' None

5.2 From the sacred rites used in the worship of this goddess, she might be held to be almost identical with Leucothea. The women bring a serving-maid into the sanctuary and beat her with rods, then drive her forth again; they embrace their nephews and nieces in preference to their own children; and their conduct at the sacrifice resembles that of the nurses of Dionysus, or that of Ino under the afflictions put upon her by her husband’s concubine. After his vows, Camillus invaded the country of the Faliscans and conquered them in a great battle, together with the Capenates who came up to their aid.'' None

1.44.7 There are legends about the rocks, which rise especially at the narrow part of the road. As to the Molurian, it is said that from it Ino flung her self into the sea with Melicertes, the younger of her children. Learchus, the elder of them, had been killed by his father. One account is that Athamas did this in a fit of madness; another is that he vented on Ino and her children unbridled rage when he learned that the famine which befell the Orchomenians and the supposed death of Phrixus were not accidents from heaven, but that Ino, the step-mother, had intrigued for all these things.
2.1.3
In the Corinthian territory is also the place called Cromyon from Cromus the son of Poseidon. Here they say that Phaea was bred; overcoming this sow was one of the traditional achievements of Theseus. Farther on the pine still grew by the shore at the time of my visit, and there was an altar of Melicertes. At this place, they say, the boy was brought ashore by a dolphin; Sisyphus found him lying and gave him burial on the Isthmus, establishing the Isthmian games in his honor.
2.2.1
Within the enclosure is on the left a temple of Palaemon, with images in it of Poseidon, Leucothea and Palaemon himself. There is also what is called his Holy of Holies, and an underground descent to it, where they say that Palaemon is concealed. Whosoever, whether Corinthian or stranger, swears falsely here, can by no means escape from his oath. There is also an ancient sanctuary called the altar of the Cyclopes, and they sacrifice to the Cyclopes upon it.
3.23.8
About two stades to the right is the water of Ino, as it is called, in extent like a small lake, but going deeper into the earth. Into this water they throw cakes of barley meal at the festival of Ino. If good luck is portended to the thrower, the water keeps them under. But if it brings them to the surface, it is judged a bad sign.
3.26.1
From Oetylus to Thalamae the road is about eighty stades long. On it is a sanctuary of Ino and an oracle. They consult the oracle in sleep, and the goddess reveals whatever they wish to learn, in dreams. Bronze statues of Pasiphae and of Helios stand in the unroofed part of the sanctuary. It was not possible to see the one within the temple clearly, owing to the garlands, but they say this too is of bronze. Water, sweet to drink, flows from a sacred spring. Pasiphae is a title of the Moon, and is not a local goddess of the people of Thalamae .'' None
