Erodius, who tended the horses of his father Autonous, was turned 

 into the bird ipcodios, his father being metamorphosed into okvos, and 

 the groom into ipcodios. aXX' ov)( opoiov' ijcraov yap ecrnv 'iKavibs tou

 Diomedea diss., Amstelod. (1672) 1686. There is evident but obscure 

 connexion between the story of the birds of Diomede, and the meta- 

 morphosis above alluded to : where the son of Autonous and Hippo- 

 dameia is killed by his father's horses, and his father and his servant 

 are turned into e'pwStoi. A story similar to that of the birds of Diomede 

 is wide-spread, and usually told of the Stork, cf. Alex. Mynd. ap. Ael. 

 iii. 23 ; for Modern Greek references, see Marx, Gr. Marchen, 1876, 

 pp. 52, 55.
