Parallela minora

Aeolus, king of the Etruscans, begat from Amphithea six daughters and the like number of sons. Macareus, the youngest, for love violated one of his sisters and she became pregnant. Her plight was discovered and her father sent her a sword; she judged herself a law-breaker and made away wTith herself. Macareus also did likewise.[*](Cf. Stobaeus, Florilegium, lxiv. 35 (iv. p. 472 Hense); Ovid, Heroïdes, xi.) So Sostratus in the second book of his Etruscan History.

Papirius Tolucer married Julia Pulchra and begat six daughters and the like number of sons. The eldest, Papirius Romanus, fell in love with his sister Canulia and got her with child. Their father learned of it and sent his daughter a sword. She killed

herself; Romanus also did the same. So Chrysippus in the first book of his Italian History.
