176 HISTORY OF GREECE. Artemis in the cLase, had bound herself by a vow of chastity Zeus, either by persuasion or by force, obtained a violation of the vow, to the grievous displeasure both of Here and Artemi?. The former changed Kallisto into a bear, the latter when she was in that shape killed her with an arrow. Zeus gave to the unfortu- nate Kallisto a place among the stars, as the constellation of the Bear: he also preserved the child Arkas, of which she was pregnant by him, and gave it to the Atlantid nymph Maia to bring up. 1 Arkas, when he became king, obtained from Triptolemus and communicated to his people the first rudiments of agriculture ; he also taught them to make bread, to spin, and to weave. He had three sons Azan, Apheidas, and Elatus : the first was the eponym of Azania, the northern region of Arcadia ; the second was one of the heroes of Tegea ; the third was father of Ischys (rival of Apollo for the affections of Koronis)) as well as of jEpytus and Kyllen : the name of JEpytus among the heroes of Arcadia is as old as the Catalogue in the Iliad. 2 Aleus, son of Apheidas and king of Tegea, was the founder of the celebrated temple and worship of Athene Alea in that town. Lykurgus and Kepheus were his sons, Auge his daugh- ter, who was seduced by Herakles, and secretly bore to him a child : the father, discovering what had happened, sent Auge to Nauplius to be sold into slavery : Teuthras, king of Mysia in Asia Minor, purchased her and made her his wife : her tomb was shown at Pergamus on the river Kaikus even in the time of Pausanias. 3 1 Pausan. viii. 3, 2.

The tomb of JEpytus, mentioned in the Iliad, was shown to Pausania* between Pheneus and Stymphalus (Pausan. viii. 16, 2). JEpytus was a cog- nomen of Hermes (Pausan. viii. 47, 3). The hero Arkas was worshipped at Mantineia, under the special injunc- tion of the Delphian oracle (Pausan. viii. 9, 2). 3 Pausan. viii. 4, 6. Apollod. iii. 9, 1. Diodor. iv. 33. A separate legend respecting Auge and the birth of Telephus was current at Tegea, attached to the temple, statue, and cognomen of Eileithyia in the Tegeatic agora (Pausan. viii. 48, 5). Hekataeus seems to have narrated in dctul the adventures of Auge (Pair san. viii. 4, 4 ; 47, 3. Hekatae. Fragm. 345, Didot). EuripidCs followed a different story about Auge and the birth of Telephei
