M. 48. ] _Athenæus_[A] out of _Philochorus_, and so likewise _Ælian_[B], tell us aStory, That in the Nation of the _Pygmies_ the Male-line failing, one_Gerana_ was the Queen; a Woman of an admired Beauty, and whom theCitizens worshipped as a Goddess; but she became so vain and proud, as toprefer her own, before the Beauty of all the other Goddesses, at whichthey grew enraged; and to punish her for her Insolence, Athenæus tells usthat it was _Diana_, but _Ælian_ saith 'twas _Juno_ that transform...ed herinto a _Crane_, and made her an Enemy to the _Pygmies_ that worshipped herbefore. But since they are not agreed which Goddess 'twas, I shall letthis pass.
[Footnote A: _Athenæi Deipnosoph_. Lib. 9 p. M. 393. ] [Footnote B: _Ælian. Hist. Animal_. Lib. 15. Cap. 29. ] _Pomponius Mela_ will have it, and I think some others, that these cruelEngagements use to happen, upon the _Cranes_ coming to devour the _Corn_the _Pygmies_ had sowed; and that at last they became so victorious, asnot only to destroy their Corn, but them also: For he tells us, [A] _Fuereinteriùs Pygmæi, minutum genus, & quod pro satis frugibus contra Gruesdimicando, defecit.
