|    Hesper and Aurora / Teiresias    |
|    31 Dec 04 10:30:58    |
      From: 11mauritius@gmx.de              In Schiller's Ballad "Hero und Leander" are the lines              Hesper und Auroa zogen       Wechsend auf dem Himmelsbogen...              meaning, probably, that two stars - Aurora and Hesper - are changeging in       their seansons. But who were Hesper and Aurora - and which property do they       share with which stars?              ---              I remember having heard the story that Teiresias spent part of his life as       female prostitute in the habour taverns of Rhodos. Can anyone verify this       story, specifya source (author or text)?                     Martin              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
