Editing Procris (section)

===Apollodorus, Hyginus, and Antoninus===
The ''[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Bibliotheca]]'' gives an entirely different characterization of Procris. It states that Procris was bribed with a golden crown to sleep with [[Pteleon (mythology)|Pteleon]], but was discovered in his bed by her husband. She is described as fleeing to [[Minos|King Minos]], who had been cursed by his wife [[Pasiphaë]] to ejaculate scorpions, serpents and centipedes that killed his mistresses from the inside. Procris was said to have helped cure the king of his genital sickness with a [[Circe|circean herb]]. She was given a dog no quarry could escape and an infallible javelin. The ''Bibliotheca'' states that she gave the dog and javelin to Cephalus and they were reconciled.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}

[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]] (who states that the dog and javelin are gifts from the goddess [[Artemis]]) and [[Antoninus Liberalis]],<ref>{{cite book |author=Antoninus Liberalis |author-link=Antoninus Liberalis |date=1992 |title=The Metamorphoses of Antoninus Liberalis: A Translation with Commentary |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9_Eolzuv0eQC&pg=PA101 |editor-last=Celoria |editor-first=Francis |publisher=Psychology Press |orig-year=translation; original work between 100 and 300 |pages=101–102 |isbn=9780415068963 |access-date=23 February 2014 }}</ref> however, write that she disguised herself as a boy and seduced her husband, so that he too was guilty, and they were reconciled. According to the latter, Minos' unexplained disease not only killed his mistresses, but also prevented him and Pasiphaë from having any children (Pasiphaë herself was not otherwise harmed, being an immortal daughter of [[Helios]]). Procris then inserted a goat's bladder in a woman, told Minos to ejaculate there, and after that she sent him to his wife; the couple was thus able to conceive, and Minos gave his spear and his dog as gratitude gifts to her.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}

Unlike the other versions, Hyginus omits Cephalus' abduction by Eos; instead he rejects her when she propositions him, and she replies that she does not want him to break his marital vows unless Procris has. She then disguises him as a stranger who successfully seduces Procris. When they lie together in bed, Eos removes the enchantment from him, and Procris, realizing she has been deceived by Eos, flees in shame. After their reunion, Procris follows Cephalus in secret out of fear of Eos.<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''Fabulae'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#189 189]</ref>
