In front of this temple, where is also the statue of Triptolemus, is a bronze bull being led as it were to sacrifice, and there is a sitting figure of Epimenides of Cnossus fl. c. 600 B.C. , who they say entered a cave in the country and slept. And the sleep did not leave him before the fortieth year, and afterwards he wrote verses and purified Athens and other cities. But Thales who stayed the plague for the Lacedaemonians was not related to Epimenides in any way, and belonged to a different city. The latter was from Cnossus , but Thales was from Gortyn , according to Polymnastus of Colophon, who com posed a poem about him for the Lacedaemonians. |

EPIMEDESEpimenides, according to Theopompus and many other writers, was the son of Phaestius; some, however, make him the son of Dosiadas, others of Agesarchus. He was a native of Cnossos in Crete, though from wearing his hair long he did not look like a Cretan. One day he was sent into the country by his father to look for a stray sheep, and at noon he turned aside out of the way, and went to sleep in a cave, where he slept for fifty-seven years. After this he got up and went in search of the sheep, thinking he had been asleep only a short time. And when he could not find it, he came to the farm, and found everything changed and another owner in possession. Then he went back to the town in utter perplexity; and there, on entering his own house, he fell in with people who wanted to know who he was. At length he found his younger brother, now an old man, and learnt the truth from him. 1.110. So he became famous throughout Greece, and was believed to be a special favourite of heaven.Hence, when the Athenians were attacked by pestilence, and the Pythian priestess bade them purify the city, they sent a ship commanded by Nicias, son of Niceratus, to Crete to ask the help of Epimenides. And he came in the 46th Olympiad, purified their city, and stopped the pestilence in the following way. He took sheep, some black and others white, and brought them to the Areopagus; and there he let them go whither they pleased, instructing those who followed them to mark the spot where each sheep lay down and offer a sacrifice to the local divinity. And thus, it is said, the plague was stayed. Hence even to this day altars may be found in different parts of Attica with no name inscribed upon them, which are memorials of this atonement. According to some writers he declared the plague to have been caused by the pollution which Cylon brought on the city and showed them how to remove it. In consequence two young men, Cratinus and Ctesibius, were put to death and the city was delivered from the scourge. |

And the Lord said to him: Take them and consign them to the earth, saying: Hear, Earth, the voice of your creator who formed you in the abundance of waters, who sealed you with seven seals for seven epochs, and after this you will receive your ornaments (?) -- 5.1. But Abimelech took the figs in the burning heat; and coming upon atree, he sat under its shade to rest a bit. 5.2. And leaning his head on the basket of figs, he fell asleep and sleptfor 66 years; and he was not awakened from his slumber. 5.6. So I will get up, and proceed in the burning heat; for isn't there heat, isn't there toil every day? 5.7. So he got up and took the basket of figs and placed it on hisshoulders, and he entered into Jerusalem and did not recognizeit -- neither his own house, nor the place -- nor did he find his ownfamily or any of his acquaintances. 5.8. And he said: The Lord be blessed, for a great trance has come over me today! 5.9. This is not the city Jerusalem -- and I have lost my way because I came by the mountain road when I arose from my sleep; and since my head was heavy because I did not get enough sleep, I lost my way. 5.10. It will seem incredible to Jeremiah that I lost my way! 5.11. And he departed from the city; and as he searched he saw thelandmarks of the city, and he said: Indeed, this is the city; I lost my way. 5.12. And again he returned to the city and searched, and found no one ofhis own people; and he said: The Lord be blessed, for a great trance has come over me! 5.13. And again he departed from the city, and he stayed there grieving,not knowing where he should go. 5.14. And he put down the basket, saying: I will sit here until the Lord takes this trance from me. 5.15. And as he sat, he saw an old man coming from the field; and Abimelechsaid to him: I say to you, old man, what city is this? 5.16. And he said to him: It is Jerusalem. 5.17. And Abimelech said to him: Where is Jeremiah the priest, and Baruch the secretary, and all the people of this city, for I could not find them? 5.21. Even if the heavenly torrents had descended on them, there has not yet been time for them to go into Babylon! 5.31. And notice that the figs are not in season, and be enlightened. 5.32. Then Abimelech cried out in a loud voice, saying: I bless you, God of heaven and earth, the Rest of the souls of the righteous in every place! 5.33. Then he said to the old man: What month is this? 5.34. And he said: Nisan (which is Abib). 7.18. And the eagle came down on the corpse, and it revived. |
