Book III, 9: Pelias and Neleus, the sons of Poseidon, delivering from bonds their mother Tyro, whom her father Salmoneus imprisoned owing to her seduction, and whom her step-mother Sidero tortured
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Let not the bonds of Sidero torment thee any longer, Tyro, crouching before this thy father, Salmoneus; for he shall not keep thee in bondage longer, now he sees Neleus and Pelias approach to restrain him.
