A lover of history and specultative fiction

Now the sea-god Glaucus, as Theolytus of Methymna says in his Epic of Dionysos, fell in love with Ariadne when she was carried away by Dionysus on the island of Dia; overpowered by Dionysus, he was bound hand and foot in the withes of a grape vine, but released when he entreated him in these words: “A city, then, there is by the side of the sea, Anthedon, over against Euboea, hard by the currents of Euripus. There is my birthplace, and the father who gat me was Copeus.”[...]The epic poet Euanthes, on the other hand, in his Hymn to Glaucus, says that he was a son of Poseidon and the nymph Nais, and that, falling in love with Ariadne, he lay with her in the island of Dia when she had been deserted by Theseus.
