===Other accounts=== Other accounts tell similar stories, with variations. According to the 1st-century AD Latin poet [[Statius]], Hypsipyle hid Thoas on a ship,<ref>[[Statius]], ''[[Thebaid (Latin poem)|Thebaid]]'' [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/statius-thebaid/2004/pb_LCL207.291.xml 5.287–289]. Statius has Hypsipyle give a detailed account of the story at ''Thebaid'' [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/statius-thebaid/2004/pb_LCL207.273.xml 5.28–334].</ref> while according to the late 1st-century BC Latin mythographer [[Fabulae|Hyginus]], who identifies Thoas with the [[Thoas (king of the Taurians)|Thoas]] who was the Taurian king, Hypsipyle put Thoas onto a ship which a storm carried to the "island Taurica".<ref>Hyginus, ''[[Fabulae]]'' 15.</ref> According to the Greek mythographer [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]] (first or second century AD), the women of Lemnos were rejected by their husbands because Aphrodite had caused them to emit a foul odor. Apollodorus also gives a different ending to the story: while Thoas was saved when Hypsipyle hid him,<ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.9.17 1.9.17].</ref> when, sometime later, the Lemnian women discovered that Thoas had escaped the initial slaughter, they killed Thoas, and sold Hypsipyle into slavery.<ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:3.6.4 3.6.4].</ref>
