"Thes." x. foll.; Diod. iv. 59; Ov. "Met." vii. 433.

Strab. ix. 397.
Hippolytus[26] was honoured by our lady Artemis and with her
conversed,[27] and in his latter end, by reason of his sobriety and
holiness, was reckoned among the blest.

[27] Al. "lived on the lips of men." But cf. Eur. "Hipp." 85, {soi kai
xeneimi kai logois s' ameibomai}. See Frazer, "Golden Bough," i.
6, for the Hippolytus-Virbius myth.
