Document Summary

Another bird transformation: hector"s brother aesacus changed into a thin bird with long slender legs. He fell in love with hesperie, the river cebren"s daughter, who was killed by a serpent"s bite while he pursued her. Mad with grief, he threw himself from a cliff, and tethys chose to save him by transforming him into a bird. He acquired his enlongated shape because he continued to attempt suicide, diving off the cliffs; this repetition stretched his form. Aesacus" father priam and his brothers mourn him, unaware that he lives on as a bird. Paris fails to mourn him because he is busy stealing helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, and fleeing with her to troy. Meanwhile, the greeks form an army to win helen back. They run into wayward winds at boeotia and must sacrifice a virgin to appease diana.
