=== Crete === Pandareus was said to have been favored by [[Demeter]], who conferred upon him the benefit of never suffering from indigestion, however much food he should eat.<ref name=":0" /> At the request of his impious friend, [[Tantalus]], Pandareus stole a golden dog from a temple to [[Zeus]] on [[Crete]] (the dog had guarded Zeus during his infancy by the will of [[Rhea (mythology)|Rhea]]). According to various sources, he was either turned to stone<ref>Antoninus Liberalis, [https://topostext.org/work/216#36 36]</ref> or fled to [[Sicily]], where he perished together with his wife [[Harmothoë]].<ref>[[Eustathius of Thessalonica|Eustathius]] ad [[Homer]], p. 1875</ref> Meanwhile a Byzantine scholar, [[Eustathius of Thessalonica]], writes that rather Pandareus and Tantalus attempted to steal a mechanic dog that had been crafted by [[Hephaestus]] himself, which was placed in a temple of Zeus in Crete. Zeus sent his son [[Hermes]] to steal the dog back and then punished the two thieves.<ref>Eustathius ad Homer, ''[[Odyssey]]'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=ZP4NAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA216 19.710]</ref>
