This version of the legend is followe that reason he was slain by Orestes at Delphi. But some say that he went to Delphi toDelphi to demand satisfaction from Apollo for the death of his father, and that he rifled the votive oereus the Phocian.The murder of Neoptolemus at Delphi, as Apollodorus observes, was variously relateione, daughter of Menelaus, he went to Delphi to inquire about offspring; for he had Pausanias, for he mentions the hearth at Delphi on which the priest of Apollo slew Neoptolemus2).

.118, p. 1796. According to Hyginus, Fab. 125, Ulysses had two sons, Nausithous and Telegonus, by Circe. As to Telegonus, see also below, Apollod. E.7.36ff. Having tarried a year there, he sailed the ocean, and offered sacrifices to the souls,The visit of Ulysses to the land of the dead is the theme of the eleventh book of the Odyssey. Compare Hyginus, Fab. 125. The visit was the subject of one of the two great pictures by Polygnotus at Delphi. See Paus. 10.28-31. and by Circe's advice consulted the soothsayer Tiresias,As to the consultation with Tiresias, see Hom. Od. 11.90-151. and beheld the souls both of heroes and of heroines. He also looked on his mother AnticliaAs to the interview of Ulysses with his mother, see Hom. Od. 11.153-224. and Elpenor, who had died of a fall in the house of Circe.In the hot air of Circe's enchanted isle Elpenor had slept for coolness on the roof of the

sky. Pisthetaerus Very well! is not this the pole of the birds then? Epops How their pole? Pisthetaerus Or, if you like it, their place. And since it turns and passes through the whole universe, it is called ‘pole.’ If you build and fortify it, you will turn your pole into a city. In this way you will reign over mankind as you do over the grasshoppers and you will cause the gods to die of rabid hunger. Epops How so? Pisthetaerus The air is between earth and heaven. When we want to go to Delphi, we ask the Boeotians for leave of passage; in the same way, when men sacrifice to the gods, unless the latter pay you tribute, you exercise the right of every nation towards strangers and don't allow the smoke of the sacrifices to pass through your city and territory. Epops By earth! by snares! by network! by cages! I never heard of anything more cleverly conceived; and, if the other birds approve, I am going to build the city along with you. Pisthetaerus Who will explain the matter to th

Pisthetaerus Solemnly. Far better, are they not? And firstly, we shall not have to build them temples of hewn stone, closed with gates of gold; they will dwell amongst the bushes and in the thickets of green oak; the most venerated of birds will have no other temple than the foliage of the olive tree; we shall not go to Delphi or to Ammon to sacrifice; but standing erect in the midst of arbutus and wild olives and holding forth our hands filled with wheat and barley, we shall pray them to admit us to a share of the blessings they enjoy and shall at once obtain them for a few grains of wheat.

o mortals! First of all, they mark the seasons for them, springtime, winter, and autumn.Does the screaming crane migrate to Libya, —it warns the husbandman to sow, the pilot to take his ease beside his tiller hung up in his dwelling, and Orestes to weave a tunic, so that the rigorous cold may not drive him any more to strip other folk. When the kite reappears, he tells of the return of spring and of the period when the fleece of the sheep must be clipped. Is the swallow in sight? All hasten to sell their warm tunic and to buy some light clothing. We are your Ammon, Delphi, Dodona, your Phoebus Apollo. Before undertaking anything, whether a business transaction, a marriage, or the purchase of food, you consult the birds by reading the omens, and you give this name of omen to all signs that tell of the future.With you a word is an omen, you call a sneeze an omen, a meeting an omen, an unknown sound an omen, a slave or an ass an omen. Is it not clear that we are a prophetic Apollo to yo

Demosthenes Nothing simpler. Continue your trade. Mix and knead together all the state business as you do for your sausages. To win the people, always cook them some savoury that pleases them. Besides, you possess all the attributes of a demagogue; a screeching, horrible voice, a perverse, crossgrained nature and the language of the market-place. In you all is united which is needful for governing. The oracles are in your favour, even including that of Delphi. Come, take a chaplet, offer a libation to the god of Stupidity and take care to fight vigorously. Sausage-Seller Who will be my ally? for the rich fear the Paphlagonian and the poor shudder at the sight of him. Demosthenes You will have a thousand brave Knights, who detest him, on your side; also the honest citizens amongst the spectators, those who are men of brave hearts, and finally myself and the god. Fear not, you will not see his features, for none have dared to make a mask resembling him. But the public have wit enough to

They all enter the house of Demos. Chorus singing What fitter theme for our Muse, at the close as at the beginning of our work, than this, to sing the hero who drives his swift steeds down the arena? Why afflict Lysistratus with our satires on his poverty, and Thumantis, who has not so much as a lodging? He is dying of hunger and can be seen at Delphi, his face bathed in tears, clinging to your quiver, oh, Apollo! and supplicating you to take him out of his misery.

Woman Herald Address your prayers to the gods and goddesses of Olympus, of Delphi, Delos and all other places; if there be a man who is plotting against the womenfolk or who, to injure them, is proposing peace to Euripides and the Medes, or who aspires to usurping the tyranny, plots the return of a tyrant, or unmasks a supposititious child; or if there be a slave who, a confidential party to a wife's intrigues, reveals them secretly to her husband, or who, entrusted with a message, does not deliver the same faithfully; if there be a lover who fulfils naught of what he has promised a woman, whom he has abused on the strength of his lies; if there be an old woman who seduces the lover of a maiden by dint of her presents and treacherously receives him in her house; if there be a host or hostess who sells false measure, pray the gods that they will overwhelm them with their wrath,both them and their families, and that they may reserve all their favours for you.

But am I not the most unfortunate of men? Henceforward I shall only be called the son of Capnius. Sosias He is pushing the door. Bdelycleon Throw your weight upon it, come, put heart into the work. I will come and help you. Watch both lock and bolt. Take care he does not gnaw through the peg. Philocleon from within What are you doing, you wretches? Let me go out; it is imperative that I go and judge, or Dracontides will be acquitted. Bdelycleon Would you mind that? Philocleon Once at Delphi, the god, whom I was consulting, foretold, that if an accused man escaped me, I should die of consumption. Bdelycleon Apollo the Saviour, what a prophecy! Philocleon Ah! I beseech you, if you do not want my death, let me go. Bdelycleon No, Philocleon, no never, by Poseidon! Philocleon Well then, I shall gnaw through the net with my teeth. Bdelycleon But you have no teeth. Philocleon Oh! you rascal, how can I kill you? How? Give me a sword, quick, or a conviction tablet. Bdelycleon O
