The Balkans. Ancient Greece: Xen. Anab. I. 2. 13 [Anabasis by Xenophon (ca. 430-355 BC): "From the city of Castropedion in Phrygia the Magna}, Cyrus goes through two passages of 10 parasangs to the crowded city of Timbria. There, near the road, was a spring named Midas, king of the Phrygians; here, they say, Midas caught a satire by mixing the spring water with wine" (trans. M.I. Maksimova)]; Paus. I. 4. 5 [Pausanias's "Description of Hellas" (2nd century AD): "Most Galatians, having flown to Asia by ship, began to devastate its coastal areas. Some time later, the inhabitants of Pergamon, which in ancient times was called Tevfrania, drove them away from the sea. And now the Galatians have since occupied the area on the other side of the Sangaria River, capturing the Phrygian city of Ankira (Anchor), which was once built by Midas, Gordius's son. The anchor that Midas found was in the temple of Zeus back in my day; there was also a so-called Midas Spring; it is said that Midas mixed wine into it to catch Silen" (trans. S.P. Kondratyeva)]; Philostr. Vit. Apol. VI. 27 ["The Life of Apollonius of Tiana" by Flavius Philostratus (c. 170-247 AD): "After passing the rapids, the travelers stopped in an Ethiopian village. There they were having dinner, interspersing a scientific conversation with jokes, when they suddenly heard women all over the village shouting to each other: "Hold it! Catch it!" - and their husbands are called for help, and men grab what will turn up - some stick, some stone - and scream as if they are chasing a rapist. And the reason was that for ten months a satyr, fierce to women, had been walking around the village invisibly: he had allegedly already killed two who inspired him with a special passion. Apollonius's comrades were frightened, but he comforted them: "Don't be afraid, some satyr is pampering here." "Exactly, I swear to Zeus! "Neil exclaimed. "Some time ago he was mischievous in our monastery, but we couldn't calm down the brawler." "There is even a remedy for such brawlers," said Apollonius, "and they say there was no time for this remedy. used Midas. The aforementioned Midas was somewhat related to satyrs, as evidenced by his ears, and one satyr began to joke at his relative, singing ochal songs about his ears, and even playing the flute. Well, Midas heard - I think from his mother - that if a satyr drinks wine and falls asleep, he becomes humble and kind. There was a pond near the palace: the king added wine to the water and let the satire drink, and he reveled in and was defeated. Let's prove the truth of the legend - let's go to the village chief and, if the residents have wine, splash his satire, and he will be caught just like Midasov is a mocker." That's what they decided: Apollonius poured four jugs of Egyptian wine into the trough from where they drank, and called a satire, casting a secret spell - and behold, although the satyr was invisible, wine began to decrease, as if someone was drinking it. When the trough was empty, Apollonius said: "Satyr is asleep, it's time to put up with him!" With these words, he led the residents to the Nymph Cave, which was about thirty steps from the village, and showed the satire sleeping there, but ordered him not to be beaten or scolded, for he was always done with his nonsense" (trans. E.G. Rabinovich)]; Philostr. Maj. Im. I. 22 ["Paintings" by Philostrat Lemnos (c. 190-230 AD): "Satyr sleeps here, and we will talk about him in a low voice so that he does not wake up and prevent us from admiring everything we have in front of us with your eyes. Midas caught this Satyr with wine in Phrygia near the mountains you can see. He mixed wine into the water of the spring near which he still lies, spewing wine in his sleep. It's nice to watch a cheerful breed of satyrs when they dance, it's nice to hear their antics when they laugh. These thugs are not bad in love either and attract Lydians, skillfully charming them with flattering speech. Here's another thing to say about them: they paint them skinny, with hot blood, like undiluted wine; their ears stick out, their hips are concave, they are otherwise very impudent, and they are horses with their tails. So the prey Midas caught is painted here in the picture with all these signs, like the ones I just told you about, but only he sleeps from wine and snores like a drunk, breathing deeply: after all He drank the whole spring sooner than someone else would drink a cup of wine. Nymphs dance around Satyr and laugh at him, mocking him for falling asleep. How gorgeous Midas is painted, how pampered he is! This is how he takes care of his headband, his hair! He is holding a solemn baton and wearing a gold-woven caftan. Look at this! Here are his huge ears, which make his eyes look so delightful; they look half asleep, and the feeling of pleasure turns into languor. With all these touches, the painting deliberately allows us to unravel that the mystery of Midas has already been revealed and that people have learned it from that notorious reed, because the earth could not hide the mystery that she heard" (trans. S.P. Kondratyev)]; Ath. 45c [Athenaeus's Feast of the Wise Men (II-III centuries AD): "Heliodor writes [FHG.IV.425] that Antiochus Epiphanes, whom Polybius rightly calls Epiman, ordered water to be diluted with wine [ right] in one source in my Antioch. Phrygian Midas did the same thing, as Theopomp [FHG .I.289] says, when he wanted to drink Silena to catch him. According to Bion [FHG.II.19], this stream flows between honey and peons, its name is Inna" (trans. N.T. Golinkevich)]; (cf. Herodot. VIII. 138 ["History" of Herodotus (ca. 484-425 BC; trans. G.A. Stratanovsky): The Temenids "arrived in another part of Macedonia and settled near the so-called Midas Gardens, Gordiya's son. Wild roses with 60 petals grow in these gardens. Their smell is much stronger than that of other roses. According to Macedonian legend, Silen was caught in these gardens"]); Serbs [a golden ram kills a hunter; a grown son asks his mother for his father's gun, kills a ram, refuses to sell his skin to the king; uncle the young man advises him to tell him 1) plant a vine, make wine in a week (the girl he meets performs), 2) an ivory castle (the girl teaches how to pour wine into the pond, the elephants are drunk, the castle is built), 3) to get the princess; the girl teaches me to buy an eagle, carp, pigeon on the way; pulling out the feather, scales, let go; lure the princess to the ship; she will let the bird tell about herself, the eagle will catch her; throw a pebble stop the ship, swallow the carp a pebble; the ship will petrify between two mountains, the queen will ask for live water, the dove will bring it; at home, the king orders the young man to cut off his head to take the princess, she revives the young man with living water; the tsar orders to cut off his head, the princess does not revive him, the young man reigns]: Karadzich 1856 in Dmitriev, Volkonsky 1956:88-94 (=Schütz 1960, No. 10:73-80); Bulgarians [mother reluctantly informs his son that his father was a hunter; he takes his father's gun and also goes hunting; the king demands that the hunter build an ivory palace for him; the hunter pours wine into the pond from which elephants drink, they get drunk, he brings tusks; also other tasks; the hero's companions help him, he marries a princess]: Daskalova-Perkovska et al. 1994, No. 513C*: 189; Greeks (Fr.
