king of See also:Magnesia in See also:Thessaly, the mythic ancestor of the Aeolian See also:race), See also:grandson of Hellen and See also:brother of See also:Sisyphus. He removed to See also:Elis, where he built the See also:town of Salmone, and became ruler of the See also:country. His subjects were ordered to See also:worship him under the name of See also:Zeus; he built a See also:bridge of See also:brass, over which he drove at full See also:speed in his See also:chariot to imitate See also:thunder, the effect being heightened by dried skins and caldrons trailing behind, while torches were thrown into the See also:air to represent See also:lightning. At last Zeus smote him with his thunderbolt, and destroyed the town (See also:Apollodorus i. 9. 7; See also:Hyginus, Fab. 6o, 61; See also:Strabo viii. p. 356; See also:Manilius, Astronom. 5, 91; See also:Virgil, Aen. vi. 585, with See also:Heyne's excursus). See also:Joseph See also:Warton's See also:idea that the See also:story is introduced by Virgil as a protest against the See also:Roman See also:custom of deification is not supported by the See also:general See also:tone of the Aeneid itself. According to Frazer (See also:Early See also:History of the Kingship, 1905; see also See also:Golden Bough, i., 1900, p. 82), the early Greek See also:kings, who were expected to produce See also:rain for the benefit of the crops, were in the See also:habit of imitating thunder and lightning in the See also:character of Zeus. At Crannon in Thessaly there was a See also:bronze chariot, which in See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time of drought was shaken and prayers offered for rain (Antigonus of Carystus, Historiae mirabiles, 15). S. See also:Reinach (Revue archeologique, 1903, i. 154) suggests that the story that Salmoneus was struck by lightning was due to the misinterpretation of a picture, in which a Thessalian magician appeared bringing down lightning and rain from See also:heaven; hence arose the idea that he was the victim of the anger or See also:jealousy of Zeus, and that the picture represented his See also:punishment.
