1. Read the short fragment of the parthenium, composed to be performed by a choir of virgins, which we have preserved from Telesila and look for information to answer the questions:
ἁ &delta;᾽ Ἁ&rho;&tau;&epsilon;&mu;&iota;&sigmaf;, ὦ &kappa;ό&rho;&alpha;&iota;,&nbsp; &phi;&epsilon;ύ&gamma;&omicron;&iota;&sigma;&alpha; &tau;ὸ&nu; Ἀ&lambda;&phi;&epsilon;ό&nu;&hellip;&nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Hephaestion: Enchiridion, 11, 2.
Translation:
Artemis, girls, fleeing from Alpheus...
a- What is a parthenium?&nbsp;
b- Who is Alpheus?
c- Why does Artemis run away from him?
You will learn the name of some Greek rivers with the following map.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Observations and context

Lyrical poetess, creator of the Telesillean meter and fighting leader against Cleomenes I in the Battle of Sepeia; she claimed equality and female public participation in the city of Argos. 

The figure and work of Telesilla links with the female members of the lyrical movement in Continental Greece: Myrtis, Praxilla of Sicyon, Corinna of Tanagra, Erinna of Telos, Anyte, Sappho of Lesbos, Moero and Nossis.  

Description

In the preserved parthenium of Telesilla about Artemis and Alpheus, there is a reference to this river. Based on it, we will also study the Peloponnese river and, in a blank physical map, we will write some of their names.
