Fragment #1—Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, Arg. i. 128: Hesiod in the
“Marriage of Ceyx” says that he (Heracles) landed (from the Argo) to
look for water and was left behind in Magnesia near the place called
Aphetae because of his desertion there.
Fragment #2—Zenobius 1901, ii. 19: Hesiod used the proverb in the
following way: Heracles is represented as having constantly visited the
house of Ceyx of Trachis and spoken thus: ‘Of their own selves the good
make for the feasts of good.’
Fragment #3—Scholiast on Homer, Il. xiv. 119: ‘And horse-driving Ceyx
beholding...’
Fragment #4—Athenaeus, ii. p. 49b: Hesiod in the “Marriage of Ceyx”—for
though grammar-school boys alienate it from the poet, yet I consider
the poem ancient—calls the tables tripods.
Fragment #5—Gregory of Corinth, On Forms of Speech (Rhett. Gr. vii.
776): ‘But when they had done with desire for the equal-shared feast,
even then they brought from the forest the mother of a mother (sc.
wood), dry and parched, to be slain by her own children’ (sc. to be
burnt in the flames).
