230 SMYTH — PERICLES AND APOLLONIUS. [Oct. 7, 



she is instructed in music by ApoUonius, to whom she says, ^' You are 

 called ApoUonius; it were better to call you Apollo." As they 

 walk by the seashore a ship approaches land. " We are from Tyre," 

 says the captain. " A land well known to me," replies ApoUonius. 

 '•' Do you know ApoUonius? " queries the captain, and xA-poUonius 

 replies, '' Ja, ich kenn im so wol alsmich selber." Whereupon the 

 king says, "Yesterday he was like me, to-day he is a lord of the 

 earth; before this he has been my son, now I am less than he." 

 The rest of the story follows closely the outlines of the Historia.

 Augspurg, 1552 ; Hans Zimmerman. This is a reprint with slight 

 changes of the edition of 1471. The woodcuts are curious : on the 

 title page is a picture of Alexander the Great, and the other illustra- 

 tions represent the king issuing from his daughter's chamber ; the 

 king stating the riddle to the princely suitors ; ApoUonius setting 

 forth on his voyage homeward from Antioch; the return of Taliarchus 

 from an unsuccessful journey, and reporting to the king the flight 

 of ApoUonius ; the landing of ApoUonius in Tarsus ; his boats 

 laden with bags of corn ; relieving the famine ; shipwreck ; fisher- 

 man receiving ApoUonius ; ApoUonius in the bath at Pentapolis ; 

 at table with Archistrates and his daughter; the king's daughter 

 playing on the harp ; the love-sick daughter visited by her father ; 

 the king joining the hands of the lovers ; the burning of Antiochus 

 and his daughter ; the casting overboard of the chest ; Cerimon 

 finding the chest ; Stranguillio and Dionysia with the infant 

 Tharsia ; death of Ligorides ; Philomancia and Tharsia in school ; 

 pirates escaping with Tharsia ; Tharsia sold to the Gemein Frawen- 

 hausz ; arrival of ApoUonius ; interview of Athenagoras and Thar- 

 sia ; ApoUonius, Tharsia and her husband sail for Ephesus ; Apol- 

 lonius recognizes '' Cleopatra," his wife ; journey in state to An- 

 tioch ; rewarding the fisherman. The whole eventful history ends 

 with this rustic clapping of hands and sequent prayer :
