At Helicon there are also several tripods, the most ancient is the one they say Hesiod received at Chalcis by the Euripus for a victory in song. And men live round the grove, and the Thespians hold a festival there and have games to the Muses, and also to Eros, in which they give prizes not only for music but to athletes also. And after ascending from this grove 20 stades you come to Hippocrene, a spring formed they say by the horse of Bellerophon striking the earth with its hoof. And the Bœotians that dwell about Helicon have a tradition that Hesiod wrote nothing but _The Works and Days_, and from this they take away the address to the Muses, and make the poem commence at the part about Strife.[69] And they showed me some lead near Hippocrene almost entirely rotten with age, on which _The Works and Days_ was written. A very contrary view to this is that Hesiod has written several poems, as that _On Women_, and _The Great Eœœ_, and _The Theogony_ and _The Poem on Melampus_, and _The Descent of Theseus and Pirithous to Hades_, and _The Exhortation of Chiron for the Instruction of Achilles_, and all _The Works and Days_. The same people tell us also that Hesiod learnt his divination from the Acarnanians, and there are some verses of his _On Divination_ which I have read, and a _Narrative of Prodigies_. There are also different accounts about his death. For though it is universally agreed that Ctimenus and Antiphus, the sons of Ganyctor, fled to Molycria from Naupactus because of the murder of Hesiod, and were sentenced there because of their impiety to Poseidon, yet some say that the charge against Hesiod of having violated their sister was not true, others say he was really guilty. Such are the different accounts about Hesiod and his Works.
