Ἀίτια Ῥωμαϊκά

Ἀίτια Ῥωμαϊκά Plutarch
16 Is the beating of this slave but a symbol of the prohibition, and do they prevent the others from entering because of the legend? For InoIno is the Greek name for the Greek goddess Leucothea before her violent death and deification; Matuta is the supposed Roman equivalent of both Greek names. is said to have become madly jealous of a slave-woman on her husband’s account, and to have vented her madness on her son. The Greeks relate that the slave was an Aetolian by birth and that her name was Antiphera. Wherefore also in my native town, Chaeroneia, the temple-guardian stands before the precinct of Leucothea and, taking a whip in his hand, makes proclamation: Let no slave enter, nor any Aetolian, man or woman!
17 Why is it that in the shrine of this goddess they do not pray for blessings on their own children, but only on their sisters’ children? Cf.Moralia, 492 d.
17 Is it because Ino was fond of her sister and suckled her sister’s son also, but was herself unfortunate in her own children? Or is it that, quite apart from this reason, the custom is morally excellent and produces much goodwill among kindred?
18 Why was it the custom for many of the wealthy to give a tithe of their property to Hercules? Cf. Life of Sulla, chap. xxxv. (474 a); Life of Crassus, ii. (543 d), xii. (550 d).
18 Is it because he also sacrificed a tithe of Geryon’s cattle in Rome? Or because he freed the Romans from paying a tithe to the Etruscans?
