FOOTNOTES
[1]The story may be read at length in Stories from the Greek Tragedians. Briefly put, it is this: Hercules slew the Centaur who would have carried off his promised wife. The dying monster gave his mantle, dyed as it was with his blood, to the woman, saying: “Keep this as my last gift: it will be a sure means of keeping your husband’s love.” In after years the woman, thinking that her husband had ceased to love her, sent him the robe as a gift, and he, putting it on, was so grievously burned by the poison that he died.
[2]Adikia = Unrighteousness.
