PHEME

In fame, fabula
at the onslaught, the whole story.

#ohj onslaught, fame



notes

Since it is often impossible to trace hearsay to its source, it is said to come from Zeus, and hence Pheme-Ossa is called  “messenger of Zeus” (Hom. Od. i. 282, ii. 216, xxiv. 412, Il. ii. 93).

Sophocles (Oed. Tyr.158) calls her a daughter of Hope, and the poets, both Greek and Latin, have indulged in various imaginary descriptions of this daimon. Latin, Fama (Hes. Op. et Dies. 705, &c.; Virg. Aen. iv. 174, &c.; Ov. Met. xii. 39, &c.).

At Athens Pheme-Ossa is honoured with an altar. (Paus. i. 17. § 1.)

THE ATHANATOI

Poets have said the female principle was originally personified in darkness
and in light, in the depths of the water as well as in the heights of the sky.
( see footnote 2)
