- A couple questions:
-
- 1) To what epithet of Zeus would a woman have prayed for retribution on
- her rapist? I'm currently using Zeus Soter. I suspect that she might
- alternatively prayer to Artemis or Hera, but that fact would be
- inconvient and will be ignored.
-
- 2) Is there an epithet for Hermes meaning (roughly) Clever One? If not,
- what would an invented one be?
-
- 3) Is there any other source for the story of Hermaphroditus and
- Salmacis than Ovid? I can't find any, but I'd like to be certain.
-
- Thanks bunches.
