§7.21.1καὶ Διονύσου κατὰ τοῦτο τῆς πόλεώς ἐστιν ἱερὸν ἐπίκλησιν Καλυδωνίου· μετεκομίσθη γὰρ καὶ τοῦ Διονύσου τὸ ἄγαλμα ἐκ Καλυδῶνος.
And in this part of the city there is a temple of Dionysus surnamed Calydonius; for the image of Dionysus also was brought from Calydon.
ὅτε δὲ ᾠκεῖτο ἔτι Καλυδών, ἄλλοι τε Καλυδωνίων ἐγένοντο ἱερεῖς τῷ θεῷ καὶ δὴ καὶ Κόρεσος, ὃν ἀνθρώπων μάλιστα ἐπέλαβεν ἄδικα ἐξ ἔρωτος παθεῖν.
When Calydon was still inhabited, others of the Calydonians became priests to the god, and indeed Coresus too, whom of all men it befell to suffer most unjustly from love.
ἤρα μὲν Καλλιρόης παρθένου· ὁπόσον δὲ ἐς Καλλιρόην ἔρωτος Κορέσῳ μετῆν, τοσοῦτο εἶχεν ἀπεχθείας ἐς αὐτὸν ἡ παρθένος.
He loved the maiden Callirhoe; but as much love as Coresus had for Callirhoe, so much hatred did the maiden have for him.
§7.21.2ὡς δὲ τοῦ Κορέσου δεήσεις τε ποιουμένου πάσας καὶ δώρων ὑποσχέσεις παντοίας οὐκ ἐνετρέπετο ἡ γνώμη τῆς παρθένου, ἐκομίζετο ἱκέτης ἤδη παρὰ τοῦ Διονύσου τὸ ἄγαλμα.
When, though Coresus made all kinds of entreaties and all sorts of promises of gifts, the mind of the maiden was not turned, he finally betook himself as a suppliant to the image of Dionysus.
ὁ δὲ ἤκουσέ τε εὐχομένου τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ οἱ Καλυδώνιοι τὸ παραυτίκα ὥσπερ ὑπὸ μέθης ἐγίνοντο ἔκφρονες καὶ ἡ τελευτὴ σφᾶς παραπλῆγας ἐπελάμβανε.
And the god heard the prayer of the priest, and the Calydonians immediately became out of their minds as if from intoxication, and death seized them while they were raving.
καταφεύγουσιν οὖν ἐπὶ τὸ χρηστήριον τὸ ἐν Δωδώνῃ· τοῖς γὰρ τὴν ἤπειρον ταύτην οἰκοῦσι, τοῖς τε Αἰτωλοῖς καὶ τοῖς προσχώροις αὐτῶν Ἀκαρνᾶσι καὶ Ἠπειρώταις, αἱ πέλειαι καὶ τὰ ἐκ τῆς δρυὸς μαντεύματα μετέχειν μάλιστα ἐφαίνετο ἀληθείας.
So they fled to the oracle at Dodona; for to those who inhabited this mainland, the Aetolians and their neighbors the Acarnanians and Epeirots, the doves and the revelations from the oak seemed to share most in truth.
§7.21.3τότε δὲ τὰ χρησθέντα ἐκ Δωδώνης Διονύσου μὲν ἔλεγεν εἶναι τὸ μήνιμα, ἔσεσθαι δὲ οὐ πρότερον λύσιν πρὶν ἢ θύσῃ τῷ Διονύσῳ Κόρεσος ἢ αὐτὴν Καλλιρόην ἢ τὸν ἀποθανεῖν ἀντʼ ἐκείνης τολμήσαντα.
At that time, the responses given from Dodona declared that this was the wrath of Dionysus, and that there would be no release before Coresus should sacrifice to Dionysus either Callirhoe herself or someone who dared to die in her stead.
ὡς δὲ οὐδὲν ἐς σωτηρίαν εὑρίσκετο ἡ παρθένος, δεύτερα ἐπὶ τοὺς θρεψαμένους καταφεύγει· ἁμαρτάνουσα δὲ καὶ τούτων, ἐλείπετο οὐδὲν ἔτι ἢ αὐτὴν φονεύεσθαι.
But when the maiden could find no way to safety, she fled in the second place to those who had brought her up; failing of these also, nothing further was left for her but to be slain.
§7.21.4προεξεργασθέντων δὲ ὁπόσα ἐς τὴν θυσίαν ἄλλα ἐκ Δωδώνης μεμαντευμένα ἦν, ἡ μὲν ἱερείου τρόπον ἦκτο ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν, Κόρεσος δὲ ἐφειστήκει μὲν τῇ θυσίᾳ, τῷ δὲ ἔρωτι εἴξας καὶ οὐ τῷ θυμῷ ἑαυτὸν ἀντὶ Καλλιρόης διεργάζεται.
When all the other things that had been prophesied from Dodona for the sacrifice had been prepared beforehand, she was led to the altar like a sacrificial victim, and Coresus stood ready for the sacrifice, but yielding to love and not to anger, he dispatched himself instead of Callirhoe.
ὁ μὲν δὴ ἀπέδειξεν ἔργον ἀνθρώπων ὧν ἴσμεν διατεθεὶς ἐς ἔρωτα ἀπλαστότατα·
He indeed displayed a deed of the men whom we know, being most genuinely disposed toward love.
§7.21.5Καλλιρόη τε ὡς Κόρεσον τεθνεῶτα εἶδεν, μετέπεσε τῇ παιδὶ ἡ γνώμη, καὶ—ἐσῄει γὰρ αὐτὴν Κορέσου τε ἔλεος καὶ ὅσα ἐς αὐτὸν εἴργασται αἰδώς—ἀπέσφαξέ τε αὑτὴν ἐς τὴν πηγήν, ἣ ἐν Καλυδῶνί ἐστιν οὐ πόρρω τοῦ λιμένος, καὶ ἀπʼ ἐκείνης οἱ ἔπειτα ἄνθρωποι Καλλιρόην τὴν πηγὴν καλοῦσι.
And when Callirhoe saw Coresus dead, the mind of the maiden changed—for pity for Coresus and shame for what had been done to him entered her—and she cut her own throat into the spring which is in Calydon, not far from the harbor, and from her, people of later times call the spring Callirhoe.
§7.21.6τοῦ θεάτρου δὲ ἐγγὺς πεποίηται Πατρεῦσι γυναικὸς ἐπιχωρίας τέμενος.
Near the theatre there has been made for the Patreans a precinct of a native woman.
Διονύσου δέ ἐστιν ἐνταῦθα ἀγάλματα, ἴσοι τε τοῖς ἀρχαίοις πολίσμασι καὶ ὁμώνυμοι· Μεσατεὺς γὰρ καὶ Ἀνθεύς τε καὶ Ἀροεύς ἐστιν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὀνόματα.
There are images of Dionysus here, equal in number to the ancient towns and bearing the same names; for their names are Mesateus, Antheus, and Aroeus.
ταῦτα τὰ ἀγάλματα ἐν τῇ Διονύσου ἑορτῇ κομίζουσιν ἐς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Αἰσυμνήτου· τὸ δὲ ἱερὸν τοῦτο ἐς τὰ ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ τῆς πόλεως ἐρχομένοις ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς ἀγορᾶς ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς ὁδοῦ.
These images they carry during the festival of Dionysus to the temple of Aisymnetes; and this temple is on the right of the road as you go from the marketplace to the parts of the city by the sea.
§7.21.7ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ Αἰσυμνήτου κατωτέρω ἰόντι ἄλλο ἱερὸν καὶ ἄγαλμα λίθου· καλεῖται μὲν Σωτηρίας, ἱδρύσασθαι δὲ αὐτὸ ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀποφυγόντα φασὶ τὴν μανίαν Εὐρύπυλον.
To one going lower down from the Aisymnetes, there is another temple and a stone image; it is called that of Soteria, and they say that Eurypylus, having escaped his madness, originally founded it.
πρὸς δὲ τῷ λιμένι Ποσειδῶνός τε ναὸς καὶ ἄγαλμά ἐστιν ὀρθὸν λίθου.
By the harbor there is a temple of Poseidon and an upright stone image.
Ποσειδῶνι δὲ παρὲξ ἢ ὁπόσα ὀνόματα ποιηταῖς πεποιημένα ἐστὶν ἐς ἐπῶν κόσμον καὶ ἰδίᾳ σφίσιν ἐπιχώρια ὄντα ἕκαστοι τίθενται, τοσαίδε ἐς ἅπαντας γεγόνασιν ἐπικλήσεις αὐτῷ, Πελαγαῖος καὶ Ἀσφάλιός τε καὶ Ἵππιος.
Besides all the names made by poets for the adornment of their verses, and those which individual peoples bestow on him as their own local titles, Poseidon has the following surnames common to all: Pelagaeus, Asphalius, and Hippius.
