Document Summary
Story of cephalus comes to an end, then scylla and minos. Looking down at warriors, like helen when she looks down the walls of troy. Seeing minos, she falls in love with him. Just like samson in the bible his long hair is the source of his hair, as soon as it is cut off by delilah, he is defeated. Scylla cuts off her father"s hair, brings it to minos to prove that she loves him. He is disgusted, because it is a sign of great treason, that he cannot embrace. He does capture megara but he rejects scylla, he leaves her with nothing because she cannot go back to her father and she cannot have the man she loves. Minos takes his troops and goes away. She runs after him, jumps off the cliff and into the sea, tries to hang on to his ship, at that point she is transformed into a bird, ciris.
