Literature | Achemon or Achmon, and his brother Basalas were two Cercopes for ever quarrelling. One day they saw Hercules asleep under a tree and insulted him, but Hercules tied them by their feet to his club and walked off with them, heads downwards, like a brace of hares. Everyone laughed at the sight, and it became a proverbial cry among the Greeks, when two men were seen quarelling - "Look out for Melampygos!" (i.e. Hercules). "Ne insidas in Melampygum." According to Greek fable, monkeys are degraded men. The Cercopes were changed into monkeys for attempting to deceive Zeus. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
