THE STORY OF PHAËTHON.-Phaethon was the son of Phoebus, or Apollo, and the nymph Clymene, the daughter of Oceanus. His divine origin having been called in question by Epaphus, the son of Jupiter and Io, he appeals to his mother, who, after assuring him that he is the son of Phoebus, advises him to go to the god himself for proof of the truth of her story. He sets out at once, and Ovid here tells us the result of his visit to his father. = Pyropo. Pliny Flammas imitans 1. Columnis. Gr. 429. A. & S. 250.

Mulciber Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, identified with the Greek Hephaistos, son of Jupiter and Juno, or, according to later traditions, of Juno alone. His father, in a fit of anger, kicked him out of heaven, and after falling a whole day, he alighted on the island of Lemnos, which became his favorite abode. Other volcanic islands also, as Lipara, Imbros, and Sicily, are called his abodes, or workshops. Homer places his workshop in a splendid palace on Olym pus. The palaces of all the gods were built by him, and the ancient poets abound in descriptions of marvellous and beautiful things which he made for gods and men. The ancients derived the name Mulciber from mulcere, to soften, and ferrum, iron. — 6. Caelarat. Gr. 8. Natas the Nereids, the a rock. Virides, like caeruleos 234 A. & S. 162. 7 (a) —7. Orbi.

He had the gift of prophecy and the power of changing himself into any shape; and he was famous for taking advantage of the latter, to avoid being compelled to exercise the former. Homer places his residence in the island Pharos; Virgil, in Carpathos, between Crete and Rhodes. Hence, Milton (Comus) calls Proteus "the Carpathian wizard."-10. Aegaeona. Aegaeon is here a sea-god. Homer identifies him with Briareus, the hundred-handed son of Uranus. In the earliest legends, he and his brothers assist Zeus (Jupiter) in his war with the Titans; in some of the later ones, he is one of the giants who attacked Olympus. See I. 152 foll. Prementem terga = insidentem tergis.-11. Dorida. Doris was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, and the wife of Nereus. See on I. 187. For the form of the word, see Gr. 93. I. A. & S. 8o.
