Dirke Explanation: It's a name. While there is agreement on the origin of the name (Dirke was the wife of Lycus), there does seem to be some disagreement on the way Dirke died. Dirke Dirke, Frau des Lykos, mißhandelte Antiope und wurde zur Strafe von Antiopes Söhnen Amphion und Zethos an einen Stier gebunden und zu Tode geschleift. www.mythologica.de/dirke.htm This might be a very useful source - it contains a lexicon of Greek mythology. Dirke -- A spring near Thebes named after the wife of Lycus who mistreated Antiope and was drowned in the spring. junior.apk.net/~fjk/antigone.html If you need further info, a Google search on "Dirke +Antigone" should yield a wealth of information. HTH. Good luck! |
