Plut. Mor., Greek and Roman Parallels 40 — Parallels, or a comparison between the Greek and Roman Histories, Plutarch; served verbatim

Evenus, the son of Mars and Sterope, had a daughter Marpessa by his wife Alcippe, the daughter of Oenomaus; and this girl he had a mind to keep a virgin. But Idas, the son of Aphareus, ran away with her from a choir. Evenus pursued him, and finding he could not overtake him, he threw himself into the river Lycormas, and became immortal.—Dositheus’s First Book of Italian History. Anius, a king of the Tuscans, had a delicate, handsome daughter, whose name was Salia, and he took great care to keep her a virgin. But Cathetus, a man of quality, seeing her sporting herself, fell passionately in love with her, and carried her away to Rome. The father made after her, and when he saw there was no catching of her, he threw himself into a river that from him took the name of Anio. Cathetus begot Latinus and Salius upon the body of Salia, the root of a noble race.—Aristides Milesius, and Alexander Polyhistor’s Third Book of Italian History.

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