Adler number: iota,573
Translated headword: Hippomenes
Vetting Status: high
Translation: An archon of
Athens, who vacated his archonship for the following reason. He had a daughter, who was dishonoured in secret by one of the citizens. Enraged, [Hippomenes] confined her in a building, bound together with a horse, and he sent in no food for either. So the horse, oppressed by hunger, attacked the girl and ate her; and the horse itself later died. Subsequently the building was dug over and the spot named, from this [episode], horse's and girl's.
