reigned. The Evenus flows through it, and it receives its name from
Calydon the son of Ætolus. During the reign of Œneus, Diana sent
a wild boar to ravage the country, on account of the neglect which
had been shown to her divinity by the king. All the princes of the
age assembled to hunt this boar, which is greatly celebrated by the
poets, under the name of the chase of Calydon, or the Calydonian
boar. Meleager killed the animal with his own hand, and gave the
head to Atalanta, of whom he was enamoured. The skin of the boar was
preserved, and was still seen in the age of Pausanias, in the temple
of Minerva Alea. The tusks were also preserved by the Arcadians in
Tegea, and Augustus carried them away to Rome, because the people
of Tegea had followed the party of Antony. These tusks were shown
for a long time at Rome. One of them was about half an ell long, and
the other was broken. _See:_ Meleager and Atalanta. _Apollodorus_,

he was permitted to depart from the island by order of Mercury
the messenger of Jupiter. During his stay, Ulysses had two sons by

the advice of Apollo, as the ancients supposed, and a pestilence
was the consequence; but the lowness of the lake below the level of
the sea prevents it being drained. The words _Camarinam movere_ are
become proverbial to express an unsuccessful and dangerous attempt.

=Camby̆ses=, a king of Persia, was son of Cyrus the Great. He conquered
Egypt, and was so offended at the superstition of the Egyptians,
that he killed their god Apis, and plundered their temples. When
he wished to take Pelusium, he placed at the head of his army a
number of cats and dogs; and the Egyptians refusing, in the attempt
to defend themselves, to kill animals which they reverenced as
divinities, became an easy prey to the enemy. Cambyses afterwards
sent an army of 50,000 men to destroy Jupiter Ammon’s temple, and
resolved to attack the Carthaginians and Æthiopians. He killed his
brother Smerdis from mere suspicion, and flayed alive a partial
judge, whose skin he nailed on the judgment seat, and appointed his
son to succeed him, telling him to remember where he sat. He died
of a small wound he had given himself with his sword as he mounted
on horseback; and the Egyptians observed that it was the same
place on which he had wounded their god Apis, and that therefore he
was visited by the hand of the gods. His death happened 521 years
before the birth of Christ. He left no issue to succeed him, and his
throne was usurped by the magi, and ascended by Darius soon after.

fed upon the milk of mares. Her father devoted her, when young, to
the service of Diana. When she was declared queen, she marched at
the head of an army, and accompanied by three youthful females of
equal courage as herself, to assist Turnus against Æneas, where she
signalized herself by the numbers that perished by her hand. She
was so swift that she could run, or rather fly, over a field of corn
without bending the blades, and make her way over the sea without

In the midst of their misfortunes, the besieged Romans elected him
dictator, and he forgot their ingratitude, and marched to the relief
of his country, which he delivered, after it had been for some time
in the possession of the enemy. He died in the 80th year of his
age, B.C. 365, after he had been five times dictator, once censor,
three times interrex, twice a military tribune, and obtained four
triumphs. He conquered the Hernici, Volsci, Latini, and Etrurians,

It was adorned with statues, columns, arches, and porticoes, and its
pleasant situation made it very frequented. It was called Martius
because dedicated to Mars. It was sometimes called Tiberinus, from
its closeness to the Tiber. It was given to the Roman people by a

was driven from Rome the people recovered it, and threw away into
the Tiber the corn which had grown there, deeming it unlawful
for any man to eat of the produce of that land. The sheaves which
were thrown into the river stopped in a shallow ford, and by the
accumulated collection of mud became firm ground, and formed an
island, which was called the Holy Island, or the island of Æsculapius.
