Fragment #11-

Name: Hesiod, Homeric Hymns, and Homerica - Fragment #11
Author: Hesiod

Scholiast on Homer, Il. iii. 242:

For Helen had been previously carried off by Theseus, and it was in consequence of this earlier rape that Aphidna, a town in Attica, was sacked and Castor was wounded in the right thigh by Aphidnus who was king at that time. Then the Dioscuri, failing to find Theseus, sacked Athens. The story is in the Cyclic writers.

Plutarch, Thes. 32:

Hereas relates that Alycus was killed by Theseus himself near Aphidna, and quotes the following verses in evidence: `In spacious Aphidna Theseus slew him in battle long ago for rich- haired Helen’s sake.’ *228
