| | GLOSSARY AND INDEX OF NAMES THIS list includes all names of any importance. The references are to the pages on which they occur. As a guide to pronunciation, the stress is indicated by an accent; and in some instances two syllables are divided by a hyphen or the number of syllables is specified. Many names end in 'eus'; unless shown otherwise, this is one long syllable which rhymes with 'deuce', e.g. Orpheus. A final vowel, unless other- wise marked, is to be pronounced as a separate syllable, whether it follows another vowel or a consonant, e.g. Pasiphae and Penelope. | | ACHAÉA, a country in the Northern Peloponnese; also another name for Greece, 116, 179, 304 | | | ACHAEMÉNIDES, a companion of Ulysses, rescued by Aeneas, 330 | | | ACHELÓ-US, a river and river-god, 188 -90, 199 - 202 | | | ÁCHERON, a river of the Underworld, 115 | | | ACHÍLLES, son of Peleus and Thetis, the most famous of the Greeks in the Trojan war, 257, 276 -9, 291 -3, 295, 298 -9, 302 -3, 308 | | | ÁCIS, lover of Galatea and rival of Polyphemus, 318 -22 | | | ÁCMON, a companion of Diomede, 340 | | | ACOÉTES, a follower of Bacchus, 68, 71 | | | ÁCONITE, a poisonous plant, and the poison made from it (three syllables), 5, 156 -7 | | | ACRÍSIUS, king of Argos, father of Danae, grandfather of Perseus, 67, 92, 106 | | | ACTAÉON, grandson of Cadmus, 55 -8, 72 | | | ADÓNIS, son of Myrrha, loved by Venus, 241 -2, 247 -8 | | | AÉACUS, son of Jupiter and Aegina, king of Aegina, 158 -64, 213, 294 | | | AE-ÉTES, king of Colchis, father of Medea, 144, 147, 149 | | | AÉGEUS, son of Pandion, father of Theseus, 156 -8, 378 | | | AEGÍNA, daughter of Asopus, loved by Jupiter; an island in the Saronic Gulf, 124, 158 -64 | | | AENÉAS, son of Anchises and Venus, Trojan hero, 314 -17, 327 -32, 338 -44, 375 -6 | | | AÉOLUS (also named Hippotades), god of the winds, father of Alcyone, 9, 94, 262, 271, 327, 331 -2, 373 | | | AÉSACUS, son of Priam and Alexiroe, 271 -3, 274 | | | AESCULÁPIUS (Gr.
