Theocritus said (I. vii. 82):—
Therefore the Muse poured in his mouth
Sweet nectar.
How, also, Aratus paraphrased this (I. xviii. 489):—
Sole star that never bathes in th' ocean wave,—
saying:—
The Bears protected from cerulean ocean.
(I. xv. 628):—
They win their soul from death,
is paraphrased:—
He escaped Hades by a small peg.
