Description

Fragments of a work written in non-Homeric hexameters. Possibly from Hesiod's Catalog of women, a work popular in Egypt, as the passage relates to King Minos of Crete, his love for women, and the birth of a child, the Minotaur, whose mother was Pasiphae. Only fragments survive of the catalog of women.
