τὸν δὲ Ἥφαισον ὀργισθεὶς ῥίπτει ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὁ δὲ (Α 593) κάππεσεν ἐν Λήμινῳ, ὀλίγος δʼ ἔτι θυμὸς ἐνῆεν. τὸν δὲ ἀδελφὸν ὑπερορᾷ (ι 531 et Y 65) οἰκί’ ἔχοντα σμερδαλέʼ εὐρώεντα, τά τε στυγέουσι θεοί περ. πρόσεστι δὲ αὐτῷ πρὸς τῇ ἀποτομίᾳ καὶ ἀκρασία, ὅς θειυάμενος τὴν Ἥραν ἐπὶ τῆς Ἴδης κεκοσμημένην οὐ καρτερεῖ μέχρις τῶν ἀποδεδειγμένων αὐτοῖς θαλάμων ἐλθεῖν, ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους χαμαὶ ῥέψας ἑαυτὸν συγκυ- λίνδεται τῇ γυνμικί, (Ξ 347) τοῖσι δʼ ὑπὸ χθὼν δῖα φύεν νεοθηλέα ποίην, λωτόν θʼ ἑρσήεντα ἰδέ κρόκον ἡδʼ ὑάκινθον.
