GORGUS
fil. Aristomenis Meslenii, cui pater nondum octo decenni puellam rusticam iunxit, hac occasione: Induciarum fiduciâ securius vagantem septem sagirtarii Cretenses cum cepislent lorisqueve pharetrarum vinctum, quod nox appeteret, in tugurium agri Messeniaci pertraxissent, in quo habitabat virgo cum matre vidua; virgo per somnium nocte priore viso, lupos illuc pertrahentes Leonem vinctum ungues non habentem, ipsam a leone suâ ope ex soluto et unguibus armato laniatos esse, postquam Aristomenis nomen a patre edocta est, somnium intellexit. Itaque vinum Cretensibus largiter fudit, illisque somno sepultis, pugione uni eorum surrepto, Aristomenis vincula abscidit, qui hoc pacto liberatus insidiatores interfecit, et pro navata saluti suae opera, virginem Gorgo uxorem dedit. Hic postea Mesleniis, post captam Eiram, novas sedes quaerentibus, cum Manticlo, a patre dux datus, illos in Sciiliam deduxit, qui urbe Zancle ibi occupatâ, Messenem, a patria sua, eam appellarunt.
