This includes the COMMAND SUMMARY from the APPLE II+, IIc, IIe version. Prometheus -- Formed mortal men from clay and water. Athene breathed life into them. He also stole fire from the gods to give to man. Zeus punished him by having him chained to a pillar where a greedy vulture tore at his liver all day. Every night, in the cruel frost and cold, his liver would grow back again. Pythagoras -- Greek mathematician and philosophers. He is famous for his Pythagorean Theorem: "The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides." Rhadamanthys -- Son of Zeus and Europa. A just and upright lawgiver. Brother of Minos. Roc -- Giant predatory bird. Sarpedon -- Son of Zeus and Laodameia. Leader of the Lycians in support of Troy. Saurus -- A cruel bandit. Scylla -- Daughter of Phorcys and Lamia. Amphitrite, jealous of Poseidon's infatuation with Scylla, changed her into a barking monster with six heads, twelve feet, and a voice like that of a whimpering puppy. Scythian Guard -- Many Scythians were slaves in Athens. They were often given policing duties. Selene -- Lovely moon goddess. Sisyphus -- He told Asopus, the river god, about the abduction of his daughter Aegina by Zeus. Asopus awarded him with a perennial spring in Corinth, and Zeus sentenced him to death. Sisyphus conned Hades into handcuffing himself, and for some days nobody could die. After Ares released Hades, Sisyphus escaped Tartarus once again by deceiving Persephone. For his deceptions and life of robbery, he was sentenced to roll a large stone over the brow of a hill. Each time he gets close to the top, the stone rolls down again and Sisyphus must start over. Socrates -- Greek philosopher. He encouraged all men to "know themselves" and to question all knowledge. Sparti -- ("Sown Men") One of the men who arose when the teeth of the serpent of Ares were strewn on the ground. Sphinx -- Born of Orthrus and Echidne. Monster with lion's body, serpent's tail, eagle's wings, and a woman's head. Steropes -- One of the Cyclopes. Stympalian Marsh -- Site of man-eating ibis-like birds whose sharp beaks can pierce a metal breastplate. Symplagades -- Narrow straits between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Talos -- A bull-headed bronze servant given by Zeus to Minos to guard Crete. Teiresias -- One day he accidentally surprised Athene in a bath. She laid her hands on his eyes and blinded him but gave him inward sight by way of compensation. Telemachus -- Son of Odysseus and Penelope. Tenes -- Son of Cycnus and Procleia. He was cast adrift on the ocean by Cycnus after his stepmother falsely accused him of violating her. He landed at Tenedos which he later ruled. Tenes was an ally of nearby Troy. Thebes -- A city between Athens and Delphi. Theron -- Hunting dog. Theseus -- ("He Who Lays Down") Son of Aegeus (or Poseidon?) and Aethra; he was secretly reared in Troezen, far from his mortal father. Thrace -- Principally in northeast area of Greece. Troad -- Plains before Troy. Troezen -- Theseus was raised in this town. Troilus -- Son of Apollo and Hecabe. Fought for Troy but Achilles loved him. See also Hector. Troy -- Great city in what is now western Turkey. Udaeus -- One of the Sparti. Virgil -- Roman historian. Wrote "Yield not to disasters, but press onward the more bravely." Xanthus -- Man-eating Thracian mare. Zeus -- Son of Cronus and Rhea. He is the father of heaven and wielded the thunderbolt to control his quarrelsome family on Mount Olympus.
