in-law, but made so by force."

Boreas, having said these words, or some not less high-sounding than
these, shakes his wings, by the motion of which all the earth is fanned,
and the wide sea becomes ruffled; and the lover, drawing his dusty
mantle over the high tops {of mountains}, sweeps the ground, and, wrapt
in darkness, embraces with his tawny wings Orithyia, as she trembles
with fear. As she flies, his flame, being agitated, burns more fiercely.
Nor does the ravisher check the reins of his airy course, before he
reaches the people and the walls of the Ciconians.[74] There, too, is
the Actaean damsel made the wife of the cold sovereign, and {afterwards}
a mother, bringing forth twins at a birth, who have the wings of their
father, the rest {like} their mother. Yet they say that these {wings}
were not produced together with their bodies; and while their long
beard, with its yellow hair, was away, the boys Calais and Zethes were
without feathers. {But} soon after, at once wings began to enclose both
their sides, after the manner of birds, and at once their cheeks {began}
to grow yellow {with down}. When, therefore, the boyish season of youth
was passed, they sought,[75] with the Minyae, along the sea {before}
unmoved,[76] in the first ship {that existed}, the fleece that glittered
with shining hair {of gold}.

[Footnote 72: _Erectheus._--Ver. 677. This personage really was
king of Athens before Pandion, the father of Progne and Philomela,
and not after him, as Ovid here states; at least, such is the
account given by Pausanias and Eusebius: the order of succession
being Actaeus, Cecrops, Cranaues, Amphictyon, Erecthonius, Pandion,
Erectheus, Cecrops II., Pandion II., AEgeus, Theseus.]

[Footnote 73: _Cephalus._--Ver. 681. He was the son of Deioneus,
and the grandson of AEolus. According to some writers, he was the
son of Mercury; in and the Art of Love (Book iii. l. 725) he is
called 'Cyllenia proles.' Strabo says that he was the son-in-law
of Deioneus. His story is related at length in the next Book.]

[Footnote 74: _The Ciconians._--Ver. 710. The Cicones were a
people of Thrace, living near Mount Ismarus, and the Bistonian
lake.]

[Footnote 75: _They sought._--Ver. 720. This was the fleece of the
ram that carried Phryxus along the Hellespont to Colchis, which is
mentioned again in the next Book.]
