[QUOTE="VGrossack, post: 117579, member: 1636"] I tried responding to this before but it did not seem to take. So I will try again. There are multiple versions of the stories, and so I have to choose between them. There are several possibilities for the father of Antiope's children: Zeus, the Regent Lykus, or King Epopeus of Sikyon. Stories about Dirke make her out either as Antiope's aunt (in this case Lykus was Antiope's uncle) or Lykus' second wife (when Antiope was married to him first). The formation of Dirke's spring - it is still called that - supposedly was formed from her body. But it is also supposed to be the same spring where Kadmos (also spelled as Cadmus) killed Ares' serpent, planted the teeth on the direction of the goddess Athena, and those teeth sprang up into full-grown warriors. To make it more interesting - and to revert to the bovine theme which belongs to this message board - Kadmos, credited for founding Thebes, was following a cow on Athena's orders. Athena told him to found a city at the same place where the cow sat down, and this happened to be Thebes. I swear that when I write this out in the form of a novel it is far less confusing! But it helps if you like Greek mythology. Kind regards Victoria [url=http://www.tapestryofbronze.com]http://www.tapestryofbronze.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
