The Balkans. Ancient Greece: Apollod. Bibl. ["Mythological Library" of Pseudo-Apollodor (1st-2nd centuries): "Booth married Chthonia, Xuf married Creus, and Kefal, son of Deion, Prokrid. Prokrida, taking a golden wreath from Pteleont as a gift, shared a bed with him, but was caught treason by Kefal and ran to Minos. The latter fell in love with her and talked her into getting along with him. But every woman who got along with Minos had to die. The reason was that Pasiphaia, angry at Minos' frequent infidelity, bewitched him, and every time Minos met other women, he gnawed them {in the original - theirα '(small) wild animals'} and women died. But Minos had a frisky dog and an unmissed spear: after he gave them to Prokrid, she agreed to share a bed with him, after giving him a drink of Kirkey's root infusion to protect herself from harm. Later, fearing Minos' wife, she fled to Athens and, having come to terms with Kefalus, went hunting with him (she indulged in this activity with passion). When Prokrid was chasing game in the bushes, Mullet, not recognizing her, threw a spear at her and killed her on the spot. He was tried for this by an areopagus, and he was sentenced to eternal exile" (trans. V.G. Borukhovich)]: III. 15.1; Ant. Lib. ["Metamorphoses" by Antonin Liberal (2nd century): "Kefalus, son of Deion, married Prokrid, daughter of Erechtheus, in Attic Forik. He was a handsome and brave young man, and Eos, falling in love with him for his beauty, kidnapped him and made him her lover <... > Then Kefal began to test Prokrida if she wanted to remain loyal to him. Under some pretext, he decided to go hunting, and sent an unknown slave to Prokrid with a lot of gold and taught him to tell her that a stranger in love with her would give it's gold if she gets along with it. Prokrida first refuses gold, but when Mullet sent twice as much, she agrees and accepts the offer. When Kefal saw her enter the house and lay down on a bed with someone she thought was a foreigner, he brought in a burning torch and found her at the scene of the crime. Prokrida, leaving Kefalus in shame, fled to King Minos of the Cretans. When she found him grieving because of the absence of children, she promised him healing and taught him how to have children. For Minos <во время совокупления> uprooted snakes, scorpions, and scolopendras, and the women he joined died. But Pasiphae, the daughter of Helios, was immortal. So, Prokrida comes up with the following for Minos to have offspring: she inserted a goat's bladder into a <некой> woman's body, and Minos first uprooted the snakes into the goat's bladder and then went to Pasiphae and connected to her. And when they had children, Minos gave Prokrid a spear and a dog; no beast could evade them, but they caught up with them all" (trans. V.N. Yarkho)]: XLI.
