a city of the Locrians.] [Footnote 49: _Panopeus._--Ver. 312. He was the son of Phocus, who built the city of Panopaea, in Phocis, and was the father of Epytus, who constructed the Trojan horse.] [Footnote 50: _Hyleus._--Ver. 312. According to Callimachus, he was slain, together with Rhoetus, by Atalanta, for making an attempt upon her virtue.] [Footnote 51: _Hippasus._--Ver. 313. He was a son of Eurytus.] [Footnote 52: _Nestor._--Ver. 313. He was the son of Neleus and Chloris. He was king of Pylos, and went to the Trojan war in his ninetieth, or, as some writers say, in his two hundredth year.] [Footnote 53: _Hippocoon._--Ver. 314. He was the son of Amycus. He sent his four sons, Enaesimus, Alcon, Amycus, and Dexippus, to hunt the Calydonian boar. The first was killed by the monster, and the other three, with their father, were afterwards slain by Hercules.] [Footnote 54: _Amyclae._--Ver. 314. This was an ancient city of Laconia, built by Amycla, the son of Lacedaemon.] [Footnote 55: _Of Penelope._--Ver. 315. This was Laertes, the father of Ulysses, the husband of Penelope, and king of Ithaca.] [Footnote 56: _Ancaeus._--Ver. 315. He was an Arcadian, the son of Lycurgus.] [Footnote 57: _Son of Ampycus._--Ver. 316. Ampycus was the son of Titanor, and the father of Mopsus, a famous soothsayer.] [Footnote 58: _Descendant Oeclus._--Ver. 317. This was Amphiaraues, who, having the gift of prophecy, foresaw that he would not live to return from the Theban war; and, therefore, hid himself, that he might not be obliged to join in the expedition. His wife, Eriphyle, being bribed by Adrastus with a gold necklace, betrayed his hiding-place; on which, proceeding to Thebes, he was swallowed up in the earth, together with his chariot. Ovid refers here to the treachery of his wife.] [Footnote 59: _Tegeaean._--Ver. 317. Atalanta was the daughter of Iasius, and was a native of Tegeaea, in Arcadia. She was the mother of Parthenopaeus, by Meleager. She is thought, by some, to have been a different person from Atalanta, the daughter of Schoeneus, famed for her swiftness in running, who is mentioned in the tenth book of the Metamorphoses.] [Footnote 60: _Son of Ampycus._--Ver. 350. Mopsus was a priest of Apollo.] [Footnote 61: _When it is aimed._--Ve
