ULLA DOLORI CONCESSIT Hor. s. II 7 46-71. In Athens (and according to Lys. de caede Eratosth. § 2 cl. Xen. Hier. 3 § 3 in other Greek states) the man who detected another in unlawful commerce with his wife, mother, sister, daughter, concubine, might avenge himself (Lys. ib. §§ 25 -34. Dem. in Aristocr. §§ 53-6 p. 637. Polyb. 11 56 § 15. Plut. Sol. 23 § 2. Paus. Ix 36 § 8) by slaying the offender. Sometimes the adulterer was fettered until he gave security for the payment of a fine; he might bring an action for unjust detention, ἀδίκως εἰρχθῆναι ὡς μοιχόν, but if he lost it, his adversary was allowed to take vengeance upon him at his pleasure, only avev éyxeipidíov (Dem. in Neaer. § 66 p. 1367). Such vengeance sometimes took the form of παρατιλμός and ῥαφανίδωσις (corresponding to the Roman vengeance with the mugilis, and intended no doubt to brand the culprit as a pathic Aristoph. nub. 1083 cf.

The sanctity of Roman marriage was guarded in the earliest times by the patria potestas; the husband who surprised his wife in the act of adultery, might slay her on the spot (Cat. in Gell. x 23 § 5), and kill (Calp.

Endymion is a patronymic from evdvuos, and that from ¿vdów; i.e. according to some, Endymion is a personification of sleep, and the name denotes the stealthy approaches of slumber; according to Welcker Götterl. 1 557-9 it denotes the visit of the goddess, her entrance into Endymion's cavern; the lingering of her rays on the grey rocks of Latmos, as it stands out in sharp outline against the blue sky, became in the legend the parting kiss with which she reluctantly tears herself from her Endymion. The image of the setting moon, when Selene was changed into the coy Artemis, became a handsome huntsman resting in the cavern, or a shepherd of the hills. who is wedded to a goddess cannot live, and so Endymion sleeps in his adyton on mt. Latmos in Karia (Paus. v 1 § 4 = 5) a sleep that knows no waking (Welcker). The Eleians also laid claim to Endymion and shewed his tomb (Paus. ib.), as did the Karians in a cave near the river Latmos Strab. p. 636. Hes. s. v. Sleep appears by his side in many sarcophagi and pictures (described by O. Jahn archäol. Beitr. 5173; e. g. the well-known bas-relief in the capitol). Näke on Valer. Cato 165-9 has collected the jests to which the story gave rise. Plut. Num. 4 § 3 has some interesting remarks on legends like this, comparing that of Egeria etc. John Fletcher the faithful shepherdess 1 3 (11 38-9 Dyce) tells the tale of love' well: 'how the pale Phoebe, hunting in a grove, first saw the boy Endymion, from whose eyes | she took eternal fire that never dies; how she convey'd him softly in a sleep, his temples bound with poppy, to the steep | head of old Latmos, where she stoops each night, | gilding the mountain with her brother's light, | to kiss her sweetest.'

It was not from disrespect that Hipp. turned a deaf ear to Phaedra's suit. She who had done the wrong, is indignant as if she had suffered wrong: he must sin to please her, or he affronts her. She treats incest as a compliment due to her, its refusal as scorn and disdain.
