Plut. Mor., Greek Questions 56 — Greek Questions, Plutarch; served verbatim

Question 56. Whence is that place in the island Samos called Panaema (Πάναιμα)?Solution. Was it because the Amazons, flying before Bacchus from the coasts of Ephesus, fell upon Samos, and thereupon Bacchus rigging up his ships wafted over, and joining battle slew abundance of them about that place, which, by reason of the plenty of blood spilled there, the beholders by way of admiration called Panaema? Some say that this slaughter was about Phloeum, and show their bones there; but others say also that Phloeum was rent off from Samos by the dreadful and hideous cry that was uttered at their death.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
