Μνημοσύνην, αὐτὸς εἰκασθεὶς ποιμένι, Μουσῶν ἀποφαίνει μητέρα· Σεμέλην τὴν Κάδμου πυρσεύων γαμεῖ, ἐξ ἧς Διόνυσον τελεῖ. Περσεφόνην αὐτὸς ἐκνυμφεύει τὴν θυγατέρα, αὐτὸς ὁμοιωθεὶς δράκοντι, καὶ τῇ γυναικὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὑτοῦ Πλούτωνος εἶναι νομισθείσῃ. καὶ ἄλλαις πολλαῖς καὶ δίχα μεταμορφώσεως μίγνυται, ζῆλον τῶν ἀνδρῶν οὐκ ἐχόντων ὡς ἐφ᾽ ἁμαρτίᾳ, ἀλλ᾽ εὖ εἰδότων ὅτι ἀφθόνως ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτῶν κοινωνῶν γεννᾷ, χαριζόμενος αὐτοῖς Ἑρμεῖς, Ἀπόλλωνας, Διονύσους, Ἐνδυμίωνας καὶ ὅσους ἄλλους εἰρήκαμεν, ἐκ μίξεως αὐτοῦ κάλλει διαπρεπεστάτους.
