of Epirus on the Ionian sea.――――A place near the walls of Apollonia,
sacred to the nymphs, where Apollo had also an oracle. The place was
also celebrated for the continual flames of fire which seemed to rise
at a distance from the plains. It was there that a sleeping satyr was
once caught and brought to Sylla as he returned from the Mithridatic
war. This monster had the same features as the poets ascribed to the
satyr. He was interrogated by Sylla and by his interpreters, but his
articulations were unintelligible, and the Roman spurned from him a
creature which seemed to partake of the nature of a beast more than
that of a man. _Plutarch_, _Sulla_.――_Dio Cassius_, bk. 41.――_Pliny_,
bk. 5, ch. 29.――_Strabo_, bk. 7.――_Livy_, bk. 42, chs. 36 & 49.――――A
city of Taurica Chersonesus.――――The building at Rome where the nymphs
were worshipped bore also this name, being adorned with their statues
and with fountains and waterfalls, which afforded an agreeable and
refreshing coolness.

=Nysa=, or =Nyssa=, a town of Æthiopia, at the south of Egypt, or,
according to others, of Arabia. This city, with another of the same
name in India, was sacred to the god Bacchus, who was educated there
by the nymphs of the place, and who received the name of Dionysius,
which seems to be compounded of Διος and ♦Νυσα, the name of his
father, and that of the place of his education. The god made this
place the seat of his empire, and the capital of the conquered
nations of the east. Diodorus, in his third and fourth books, has
given a prolix account of the birth of the god at Nysa, and of
his education and heroic actions. _Mela_, bk. 3, ch. 7.――_Ovid_,

――――According to some geographers there were no less than 10 places
of the name of Nysa. One of these was on the coast of Eubœa, famous
for its vines, which grew in such an uncommon manner, that if a twig
was planted in the ground in the morning, it was said immediately
to produce grapes, which were full ripe in the evening.――――A city of
Thrace.――――Another seated on the top of mount Parnassus, and sacred
to Bacchus. _Juvenal_, satire 7, li. 63.

years with the greatest sanctity. She died in the reign of Tiberius,

=Oceănĭdes= and =Oceanītĭdes=, sea nymphs, daughters of Oceanus, from
whom they received their name, and of the goddess Tethys. They were
3000 according to Apollodorus, who mentions the names of seven of
them: Asia, Styx, Electra, Doris, Eurynome, Amphitrite, and Metis.
Hesiod speaks of the eldest of them, and reckons 41: Pitho, Admete,
Prynno, Ianthe, Rhodia, Hippo, Callirhoe, Urania, Clymene, Idyia,
Pasithoe, Clythia, Zeuxo, Galuxaure, Plexaure, Perseis, Pluto, Thoe,
Polydora, Melobosis, Dione, Cerceis, Xantha, Acasta, Ianira, Telestho,
Europa, Menestho, Petrea, Eudora, Calypso, Tyche, Ocyroe, Crisia,
Amphiro, with those mentioned by Apollodorus, except Amphitrite.
Hyginus mentions 16, whose names are almost all different from
those of Apollodorus and Hesiod, which difference proceeds from the
mutilation of the original text. The Oceanides, like the rest of
the inferior deities, were honoured with libations and sacrifices.
Prayers were offered to them, and they were entreated to protect
sailors from storms and dangerous tempests. The Argonauts, before
they proceeded on their expedition, made an offering of flour,
honey, and oil, on the sea-shore, to all the deities of the sea,
and sacrificed bulls to them, and entreated their protection. When
the sacrifice was made on the sea-shore the blood of the victim was
received in a vessel, but when it was in the open sea, the blood
was permitted to run down into the waters. When the sea was calm,
the sailors generally offered a lamb or a young pig, but if it
was agitated by the winds, and rough, a black bull was deemed
the most acceptable victim. _Homer_, _Odyssey_, bk. 3.――_Horace._

=Oceănus=, a powerful deity of the sea, son of Cœlus and Terra. He
married Tethys, by whom he had the most principal rivers, such
as the Alpheus, Peneus, Strymon, &c., with a number of daughters
who are called from him Oceanides. _See:_ Oceanides. According to
Homer, Oceanus was the ♦father of all the gods, and on that account
he received frequent visits from the rest of the deities. He is
generally represented as an old man with a long flowing beard, and
sitting upon the waves of the sea. He often holds a pike in his hand,
whilst ships under sail appear at a distance, or a sea monster stands
near him. Oceanus presided over every part of the sea, and even the
rivers were subjected to his power. The ancients were superstitious
in their worship to Oceanus, and revered with great solemnity a
deity to whose care they entrusted themselves when going on any
voyage. _Hesiod_, _Theogony_.――_Ovid_, _Fasti_, bk. 5, li. 81, &c.

she always consumed and lavished away whatever the labours of her

Tanaquil the wife of Tarquinius Priscus. As she was throwing into
the flames, as offerings, some of the meats that were served on
the table of Tarquin, she suddenly saw in the fire what Ovid calls
_obscœni forma virilis_. She informed the queen of it, and when by
her orders she had approached near it, she conceived a son who was
called Servius Tullus, and who, being educated in the king’s family,
afterwards succeeded to the vacant throne. Some suppose that Vulcan
had assumed that form which was presented to the eyes of Ocrisia, and
that the god was the father of the sixth king of Rome. _Plutarch_,

rhetoric at Rome. He had Pompey the Great in the number of his pupils.

=Octāvia=, a Roman lady, sister to the emperor Augustus, and celebrated
for her beauty and virtues. She married Claudius Marcellus, and after
his death, Marcus Antony. Her marriage with Antony was a political
step to reconcile her brother and her husband. Antony proved for
some time attentive to her, but he soon after despised her for
Cleopatra, and when she attempted to withdraw him from this unlawful
amour by going to meet him at Athens, she was secretly rebuked, and
totally banished from his presence. This affront was highly resented
by Augustus, and though Octavia endeavoured to pacify him by
palliating her husband’s behaviour, he resolved to revenge her cause
by arms. After the battle of Actium and the death of Antony, Octavia,
forgetful of the injuries she had received, took into her house all
the children of her husband and treated them with maternal tenderness.
Marcellus her son by her first husband was married to a niece of
Augustus, and publicly intended as a successor to his uncle. His
sudden death plunged all his family into the greatest grief. Virgil,
whom Augustus patronized, undertook upon himself to pay a melancholy
tribute to the memory of a young man whom Rome regarded as her future
father and patron. He was desired to repeat his composition in the
presence of Augustus and of his sister. Octavia burst into tears as
soon as the poet began; but when he mentioned, _Tu Marcellus eris_,
she swooned away. This tender and pathetic encomium upon the merit
and the virtues of young Marcellus was liberally rewarded by Octavia,
and Virgil received 10,000 sesterces for every one of the verses.
Octavia had two daughters by Antony, Antonia Major and Antonia Minor.
The elder married Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, by whom she had Cnæus
Domitius the father of the emperor Nero, by Agrippina the daughter
of Germanicus. Antonia Minor, who was as virtuous and as beautiful
as her mother, married Drusus the son of Tiberius, by whom she
had Germanicus and Claudius, who reigned before Nero. The death
of Marcellus continually preyed upon the mind of Octavia, who died
of melancholy about 10 years before the christian era. Her brother
paid great regard to her memory, by pronouncing himself her funeral
oration. The Roman people also showed their respect for her virtues
by their wish to pay her divine honours. _Suetonius_, _Augustus_.
――_Plutarch_, _Antonius_, &c.――――A daughter of the emperor Claudius
by Messalina. She was betrothed to Silanus, but by the intrigues of
Agrippina, she was married to the emperor Nero in the 16th year of
her age. She was soon after divorced on pretence of barrenness, and
the emperor married Poppæa, who exercised her enmity upon Octavia by
causing her to be banished into Campania. She was afterwards recalled
at the instance of the people, and Poppæa, who was resolved on her
ruin, caused her again to be banished to an island, where she was
ordered to kill herself by opening her veins. Her head was cut off
and carried to Poppæa. _Suetonius_ in _Claudius_, ch. 27; _Nero_,
chs. 7 & 35.――_Tacitus_, _Annals_, bk. 12.
=Octāviānus=, or =Octāvius Cæsar=, the nephew of Cæsar the dictator.

regent of Egypt. The murderer was sent to Rome.――――A man who opposed
Metellus in the reduction of Crete by means of Pompey. He was obliged

carried away by Apollo, as she was going to a festival at Miletus.
=Odenātus=, a celebrated prince of Palmyra. He early inured himself to
bear fatigues, and by hunting leopards and wild beasts, he accustomed
himself to the labours of a military life. He was faithful to the
Romans; and when Aurelian had been taken prisoner by Sapor king
of Persia, Odenatus warmly interested himself in his cause, and
solicited his release by writing a letter to the conqueror and
sending him presents. The king of Persia was offended at the liberty
of Odenatus; he tore the letter, and ordered the presents which
were offered to be thrown into a river. To punish Odenatus, who had
the impudence, as he observed, to pay homage to so great a monarch
as himself, he ordered him to appear before him, on pain of being
devoted to instant destruction, with all his family, if he dared to
refuse. Odenatus disdained the summons of Sapor, and opposed force
to force. He obtained some advantages over the troops of the Persian
monarch, and took his wife prisoner with a great and rich booty.
These services were seen with gratitude by the Romans; and Gallienus,
the then reigning emperor, named Odenatus as his colleague on the
throne, and gave the title of Augustus to his children and to his
wife, the celebrated Zenobia. Odenatus, invested with new power,
resolved to signalize himself more conspicuously by conquering the
northern barbarians, but his exaltation was short, and he perished by
the dagger of one of his relations, whom he had slightly offended in
a domestic entertainment. He died at Emessa, about the 267th year of
the christian era. Zenobia succeeded to all his titles and honours.

=Odīnus=, a celebrated hero of antiquity, who flourished about 70 years
before the christian era, in the northern parts of ancient Germany,
or the modern kingdom of Denmark. He was at once a priest, a soldier,
a poet, a monarch, and a conqueror. He imposed upon the credulity
of his superstitious countrymen, and made them believe that he could
raise the dead to life, and that he was acquainted with futurity.
When he had extended his power, and increased his fame by conquest
and by persuasion, he resolved to die in a different manner from
other men. He assembled his friends, and with a sharp point of a
lance he made on his body nine different wounds in the form of a
circle, and as he expired he declared he was going into Scythia,
where he should become one of the immortal gods. He further added
that he would prepare bliss and felicity for such of his countrymen
as lived a virtuous life, who fought with intrepidity, and who died
like heroes in the field of battle. These injunctions had the desired
effect; his countrymen superstitiously believed him, and always
recommended themselves to his protection whenever they engaged in a
battle, and they entreated him to receive the souls of such as had
fallen in war.
