Hellen

The Catalogue of Women (sixth century BC?)According to West 1985, p. 136, "the composition of the Catalogue ... may be assigned to sometime between 580 and 520", and "the range may perhaps be narrowed to c. 540–520", while West 1999, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/639863?seq=17 p. 380], says it was "certainly in the sixth century, and perhaps between 540 and 520". Fowler 1998, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/44696765?seq=1 p. 1 n. 4] dates it to "about 580", while Hirschberger, p. 49 gives the period of 630 to 590. Janko, p. 200, figure 4, in contrast, places it roughly around 675 and 690. is a fragmentary poem attributed to Hesiod;For an extensive discussion of the Catalogue, see West 1985. the work is structured around a large genealogy of mortals, Hellen's family being described in Book 1 of the poem. According to a scholion on Apollonius of Rhodes' Argonautica, Hellen, in the poem, is called the son of Pyrrha, by either Deucalion, or alternatively, by Prometheus (who is called the father of Deucalion in the same passage).Gantz, p. 164; West 1985, p. 51; Yasumura, [https://books.google.com/books?id=mVoDAAAAQBAJ&pg=111 p. 111]; Hesiod, Catalogue of Women [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-catalogue_women/2018/pb_LCL503.45.xml fr. 3 Most, pp. 44, 45] [= fr. 2 Merkelbach-West, p. 4 = [https://archive.org/details/hesiodhomerichym00hesiuoft/page/154/mode/2up?view=theater fr. 1 Evelyn-White, pp. 154, 155] = Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodes, 3.1086 (Wendel, [https://books.google.com/books?id=0lkhbarJcukC&pg=PA248 p. 248])]. The latter parentage, however, it seems was not a part of the Catalogue, but rather a mistake on the part of the scholion.West 1985, p. 51 says that "it seems hard to resist the conclusion that Deukalion, not Prometheus, was his father [in the Catalogue]", and that "Prometheus' name must have been accidentally repeated [by the scholion] from the line before". While, according to Gantz, p. 164 the scholion "has probably garbled something in transmission", and "it seems better to presume miscopying and emend the scholion". See also Caduff, [https://archive.org/details/antikesintflutsa0000cadu/page/86/mode/2up?view=theater p. 86]. A scholion on the Odyssey similarly calls Hellen a son of Deucalion and Pyrrha, giving his siblings as Amphictyon, Protogeneia, and Melanthea (Melantho). The scholion, however, also states that "some say that Hellen was the son of Zeus by birth but was said to be the son of Deucalion",Hesiod, Catalogue of Women [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-catalogue_women/2018/pb_LCL503.47.xml fr. 5 Most, pp. 46, 47] [= fr. 4 Merkelbach-West, p. 5 = Scholia on Homer's Odyssey 10.2 (Dindorf, [https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_l6oNAAAAQAAJ/page/n45/mode/2up?view=theater p. 444])]. leading M. L. West to consider Hellen's real father in the Catalogue to in fact be Zeus, and Deucalion only, in West's words, his "nominal father".West 1985, pp. 51, 53, 56, 173, table 1; cf. BNJ, commentary on 239 A6; D'Alessio, [https://books.google.com/books?id=bxt75JJ_v2gC&pg=PA222 p. 222]; Gantz, p. 167 with n. 2; Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA130 p. 130].

Plutarch, in his Moralia, quotes a passage from the Catalogue in which Hellen is the father of three sons, Dorus, Xuthus, and Aeolus.Hunter, pp. 283–4; Plutarch, Moralia [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/plutarch-moralia_table_talk/1961/pb_LCL425.293.xml 747F (pp. 292, 293)] [= Hesiod, Catalogue of Women [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-catalogue_women/2018/pb_LCL503.49.xml fr. 9 Most, pp. 48, 49] = fr. 9 Merkelbach-West, p. 7 = [https://archive.org/details/hesiodhomerichym00hesiuoft/page/156/mode/2up?view=theater fr. 4 Evelyn-White, pp. 156, 157]]; Gantz, p. 167; Hall, p. 85; Asquith, [https://books.google.com/books?id=bxt75JJ_v2gC&pg=PA277 p. 277]. He does not, however, give the source of the passage;Hunter, p. 283; Cardin and Pontani, p. 257 n. 57. it is instead the Byzantine poet John Tzetzes who attributes it to the Catalogue.Cardin and Pontani, p. 257 with nn. 54–7; Tzetzes on Lycophron, 286 (Cardin and Pontani, p. 257 n. 54; Scheer, p. 121) [= Scholia on Lycophron's Alexandra, 286 (Cardin and Pontani, p. 257 n. 54; Leone, p. 58) = Hesiod, Catalogue of Women [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-catalogue_women/2018/pb_LCL503.49.xml fr. 9 Most, pp. 48, 49]]. Tzetzes takes the passage from a scholion on Lycophron's Alexandra, and quotes it several times in different works: once in his own commentary on Lycophron's Alexandra, and twice in his Exegesis of the Iliad (Papathomopoulos, pp. 94–5, 430). The scholion only attributes the passage to "Hesiod", whereas Tzetzes specifies the work. Though no mother is specified in the passage, West suggests that she was one "Othryis", the nymph of Mount Othrys, based upon the mothers given by Apollodorus and a scholion on Plato's Symposium (see below).West 1985, p. 57.

A scholion on Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War attributes to Hecataeus (c. 550 BC – c. 476 BC) a very different genealogy of Hellen, in which he is not the son of Deucalion but rather the grandson, being the son of one "Pronous", himself the son of Deucalion, alongside "Orestheus" and "Marathonius".Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA142 p. 142], [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA144 p. 144, figure 4.3]; Gantz, p. 167; BNJ, commentary on 1 F13; Scholia on Thucydides, 1.3.2 (Hude, [https://archive.org/details/scholiainthucydi0000hude/page/4/mode/2up?view=theater p. 5]) [= FGrHist [https://scholarlyeditions.brill.com/reader/urn:cts:greekLit:fgrh.0001.bnjo-1-ed-grc:f13 1 F13] = Hecataeus [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA128 fr. 13 Fowler, p. 128]]. According to a scholion on Plato's Symposium citing Hellanicus (fl. late fifth century BC), Hellen "was born to Deukalion and Pyrrha, or according to some, to Zeus and Pyrrha", and was the father, by "Othreis", of Dorus, Xuthus, Aeolus, and in addition a daughter, named Xenopatra.BNJ 4 F125 [= Scholia on Plato's Symposium 208d (Cufalo, [https://books.google.com/books?id=WR4mcRM5_M8C&pg=PA108 pp. 108–10]) = FGrHist 4 F125 = Hellanicus [https://books.google.com/books?id=j0nRE4C2WBgC&pg=PA200 fr. 125 Fowler, pp. 200–1]]. Cf. Eustathius on Homer's Iliad, 277.17 (Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA142 p. 142]); see Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA142 p. 142]; Fowler 1998, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/44696765?seq=12 p. 12 n. 29].

Conon (before 444 BC – after 394 BC), in his Narrations, similarly considers Hellen to be the son of Deucalion, and the father of Dorus, Xuthus, and Aeolus, though he also notes that "some" say he is the son of Zeus.Conon, Narrations 27 (Trzaskoma, Smith and Brunet, [https://books.google.com/books?id=lWruCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA86 p. 86]) [= Photius, Bibliotheca 186 (Harry, pp. 20–1)]. A scholion on Pindar, in contrast, makes Deucalion the brother of Hellen (rather than the father), and them both sons of Prometheus.West 1985, p. 57; Scholia on Pindar's Olympian 9.68b (Drachmann, [https://archive.org/details/scholiaveterain00dracgoog/page/n312/mode/2up?view=theater p. 283]); Smith, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0104:entry=hellen-bio-1 s.v. Hellen].

Vitruvius (c. 80–70 BC – after c. 15 BC), in his De architectura, calls Dorus the son of Hellen by the "nymph Phthia",Vitruvius, De architectura [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/vitruvius-architecture/1931/pb_LCL251.203.xml 4.1.3 (pp. 202–5)]. while Dionysius of Halicarnassus (c. 60 BC – after 7 BC) apparently considered Amphictyon to be Hellen's son (usually Hellen's brother).Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA142 p. 142]; Dionysius of Halicarnassus, [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Dionysius_of_Halicarnassus/4B*.html#25.3 4.25.3]; Smith, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0104:entry=amphictyon-bio-1 s.v. Amphictyon]; Cary, [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Dionysius_of_Halicarnassus/4B*.html#note54 n. 54 to 4.25.3]: "The Greek words can mean either "the son of Hellen" or "the Greek"; but the latter does not seem to be a very natural way of describing him".

Hyginus (c. 64 BC – AD 17), in his Fabulae, at one point calls Hellen the son of Zeus by Pyrrha,Hyginus, Fabulae [https://topostext.org/work/206#155 155]; cf. De astronomia [https://topostext.org/work/207#2.18.4 2.18.4]. while later, he is listed among the sons of Poseidon, where he is called his son by Antiope (the son of Aeolus, who is usually Hellen's descendant), and the brother of Boeotus.Hyginus, Fabulae [https://topostext.org/work/206#157 157].

According to the mythographer Apollodorus (first or second century AD), Hellen's parents are Deucalion and Pyrrha, and his siblings Amphictyon and Protogeneia, or according to "some", his parents are Zeus and Pyrrha.Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.7.2 1.7.2] [= Scholia on Homer, Iliad 13.307]. Apollodorus, similarly to the Catalogue and other sources, calls him the father of Dorus, Xuthus and Aeolus; however, he specifies the nymph Orseis (rather than Othreis) as their mother.Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.7.3 1.7.3]. West 1985, p. 57, says that both Othreis and Orseis are "probably" corruptions of Othryis, a nymph of Mount Othrys.

According to the Byzantine chronicler John Malalas (c. 491 – 578), Hellen was the son of "Picus Zeus",John Malalas, Chronographia 2.45 (p. 27); cf. 4.4 (p. 33), where he is called the son of "Picus". and the father (rather than son) of Deucalion.John Malalas, Chronographia 4.4 (p. 33). According to Stephanus of Byzantium (fl. 6th century AD), the historian Archinus had Hellen as the father of one "Neonus", father of "Dotus", the latter of which gave his name to Dotium in Thessaly.Stephanus of Byzantium, [https://archive.org/details/STEPHANUSVONBYZANZMargaretheBillerbeckChristianZublerSTEPHANIBYZANTIIENICAIIpdf/page/n147/mode/2up?view=theater s.v. Dotion (II pp. 118, 119)] [= FGrHist 604 F3]; BNJ, commentary on 604 F3.

Hellen was Thessalian.Fowler 1998, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/44696765?seq=11 p. 11]; Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA128 p. 128]. Homer, in the part of the Iliad known as the Catalogue of Ships, mentions the Hellenes ({{lang|grc|Ἕλληνες}}) as a small tribe in Thessalic Phthia, among those commanded by Achilles.Homer, Iliad [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001.perseus-eng1:2.653-2.694 2.681–4]; Fowler 1998, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/44696765?seq=10 p. 10]; March, [https://archive.org/details/March.Jenny_Cassells.Dictionary.of.Classical.Mythology/page/368/mode/2up?view=theater s.v. Hellen, p. 369]. Cf. Herodotus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0016.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.56.2 1.56.2–3]. Similarly, according to a scholion on Apollonius of Rhodes, Hecataeus and "Hesiod" considered Deucalion's descendants to be Thessalian.Fowler 1998, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/44696765?seq=11 p. 11]; Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodes, 4.265 (Wendel, [https://books.google.com/books?id=0lkhbarJcukC&pg=PA276 p. 276]) [= FGrHist [https://scholarlyeditions.brill.com/reader/urn:cts:greekLit:fgrh.0001.bnjo-1-ed-grc:f14 1 F14]] [= Hesiod, Catalogue of Women [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-catalogue_women/2018/pb_LCL503.47.xml fr. 6 Most, pp. 46, 47] = fr. 6 Merkelbach-West, p. 6 = [https://archive.org/details/hesiodhomerichym00hesiuoft/page/156/mode/2up?view=theater fr. 5 Evelyn-White, pp. 156, 157]]. According to Thucydides, Achaea Phthiotis, as the birthplace of Hellen,Cf. Solinus, Polyhistor [https://topostext.org/work/747#8.1 8.1]. was the home of the Hellenes; he says that before Hellen the name "Hellas" ({{lang|grc|Ἑλλάς}}) didn't exist, but rather there were various tribes which went under different names, particularly "Pelasgian".BNJ, commentary on 1 F3; Thucydides, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0003.tlg001.perseus-eng3:1.3.2 1.3.2]. It was only when Hellen and his sons "grew strong in Phthiotis" that they allied with various cities in war and these cities, one by one, through their association with Hellen and his sons, came to be called "Hellenes", though it was a long time before the name came to be applied to all.Bury, p. 226; Thucydides, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0003.tlg001.perseus-eng3:1.3.2 1.3.2]. Thucydides uses the mention of the Hellenes in the Iliad to support his argument here, as there they refer only to the group in Phthia (who Thucydides calls the "original Hellenes").

Though primarily genealogical in importance,Gantz, p. 167: "The immediate offspring of Deukalion and Pyrrha, including indeed several generations, are primarily eponymous ancestors or intermediate place-holders rather than actors in any real narratives". Hellen does feature briefly in Euripides' lost play Melanippe Wise (c. 420 BC). In the play, Melanippe, the daughter of Aeolus (and thus the granddaughter of Hellen),Gantz, p. 734; Euripides [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/euripides-dramatic_fragments/2008/pb_LCL504.579.xml fr. 481 Collard and Cropp, pp. 578, 579] [= [https://archive.org/details/tragicorumgraeco00naucuoft/page/510/mode/2up?view=theater fr. 481 Nauck, p. 511] = Melanippe Wise 1–2 ([https://www.loebclassics.com/view/select_papyri_poetry_tragedy_5th_4th_centuries_bc/1941/pb_LCL360.119.xml Page pp. 118, 119])]; Melanippe Wise [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/euripides-dramatic_fragments/2008/pb_LCL504.573.xml test. 1 Collard and Cropp, pp. 572, 573]; cf.

They are placed in a cowshed, leading Aeolus to think they are the "unnatural offspring of a cow",Collard and Cropp, [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/euripides-dramatic_fragments/2008/pb_LCL504.569.xml pp. 568–9]. and Hellen convinces Aeolus to burn the twins.Gantz, p. 734. This story is depicted on an Apulian volute krater dating to the late 4th century BC, in which a shepherd shows the twins to Hellen, in the presence of Melanippe, Aeolus, and Aeolus' son Cretheus.LIMC [http://ark.dasch.swiss/ark:/72163/080e-73a4c5f9243d7-1 64 Hellen (S) 1], [https://www.iconiclimc.ch/limc/imageview.php?image=b4f84d6ae2c148108b5791436b49c723&total=1&term=%22Hellen+%28S%29%22 image 1 of 1]; Michael C.

The only iconographic representation of Hellen, Bing, p. 14 describes him here as a "hooded, grizzled old man" and Gantz, p. 735 as "grim".
