hymenaeus

“In one of his dithyrambs (xix.) he treated the legend of Idas (a Messenian hero) and Marpessa in the form of a _hymenaeus_ sung by maidens of Sparta.”

“VESPER adest, iuuenes, consurgite: Vesper Olympo exspectata diu uix tandem lumina tollit. surgere iam tempus, iam pinguis linquere mensas, iam ueniet uirgo, iam dicetur hymenaeus.”

Hymen, O Hymenaee

“Instead of the jubilant hymenaeus, the voice of his own child greeted him on the threshold.”

Cleopatra — Volume 09
