To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Erisichthon, the law- less and irreverent, ordered his servants to fell an oak that stood in a grove of Ceres. They, fearing the anger of the gods for such a sacrilege, debated till Erisichthon, whose anger was not to be slighted, either, grasped the ax from the hands of the unwilling woodmen and assailed the trunk himself. A spectator who reached forward to take away the implement caught the blow of the ax on his neck, so that his head rolled at the tree^s foot and bathed the roots 13 193 MYTH...S AND LEGENDS OF FLOWERS, ETC.
in blood. Now furious, Erisichthon attacked the oak with such energy that it fell, amid the cries of the beholders.
But he enjoyed no triumph from this act. From the fallen body of the tree came a voice saying, **I who live in this tree am a nymph of Ceres, and in my death hour I warn you of punishment." Retribution came speedily. The goddess whose nymph had been so cruelly slain condemned the cutter to unending hunger. He squandered all his for- tune on food; he ate continually; yet nothing nourished him, and he died at last, gnawing at his own flesh.
