Note 1304 — HESIOD
Hugh G. (Hugh Gerard) Evelyn-White translation
(return) [ Eustathius refers to Hesiod as stating that men sprung “from oaks and stones and ashtrees”. Proclus believed that the Nymphs called Meliae (Theogony, 187) are intended. Goettling would render: “A race terrible because of their (ashen) spears.”]
