Polemo,\r\ntoo, says that Athene was wounded by Ornytus; nay, Homer says that\r\nPluto even was struck with an arrow by Hercules; and Panyasis relates\r\nthat the beams of Sol were struck by the arrows of Hercules;<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_44\" id=\"FNanchor_44\">[44]</a> and\r\nthe same Panyasis relates, that by the same Hercules Hera the goddess\r\nof marriage was wounded in sandy Pylos. Sosibius, too, relates that\r\nHercules was wounded in the hand by the sons of Hippocoon. And if\r\nthere are wounds, there<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_43\">[43]</span> is blood. For the <i>ichor</i> of the poets\r\nis more repulsive than blood; for the putrefaction of blood is called\r\n<i>ichor</i>. Wherefore cures and means of sustenance of which they\r\nstand in need must be furnished. Accordingly mention is made of\r\ntables, and potations, and laughter, and intercourse; for men would\r\nnot devote themselves to love, or beget children, or sleep, if they\r\nwere immortal, and had no wants, and never grew old. Jupiter himself,\r\nwhen the guest of Lycaon the Arcadian, partook of a human table among\r\nthe Ethiopians—a table rather inhuman and forbidden. For he satiated\r\nhimself with human flesh unwittingly; for the god did not know that\r\nLycaon the Arcadian, his entertainer, had slain his son (his name was\r\nNyctimus), and served him up cooked before Zeus.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","EXHORTATION TO THE HEATHEN.","CHAPTER II.
