bber; and being, perhaps, pursued by some Cretan officer of Minos,
who escorted Procris back to her country, on their vessels being
shipwrecked near some rocks, it gave occasion to the story that the
dog and the monster had been changed into stone. Indeed, Tzetzes says
distinctly, that the dog was called Cyon, and the monster, or fox,
Alopis; and he also says that Cyon was the captain who brought Procris
back from Crete. It being believed that resentment had some share in
causing the death of Procris, the court of the Areiopagus condemned
Cephalus to perpetual banishment. The island of Cephalenia, which
received its name from him, having been given to him by Amphitryon, he
retired to it, where his son Celeus afterwards succeeded him.

=S. Austin Allibone, the distinguished author, writes:=
"There is a growing disapprobation, both in Great Britain and America,
of the disproportionate length of time devoted by the youthful student
to the acquisition of the dead languages; and therefore nothing will
tend so effectually to the preservation of the Greek and Latin grammars
as their judicious union (the fruit of an intelligent compromise) with
the Interlinear Classics."
