Synopsis

Excerpt from P. Vergili Maronis Opera, Vol. 2: Notes

Hyolaeis, the bees of Hybla in Sicily were famous, and this is what is called the 'literary' use of epithets: wine is called 'massie' or 'falernian', marble is 'parian', the arrow is 'cydonian', the bow is 'parthian', &c. Not so much to specify the kind, as to remind the reader of the Greek poets who speak of them.
