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

 into the bird e'pwSio'r, his father being metamorphosed into OKVOS, and 

 the groom into epcoSidy. aXX' oit% op.oiov' fjo~o~ov yap eo~Tiv iKavSas TOV

 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 epa>8ioi. 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-
