Telesilla was a lyrical poet from the year 510 BC, who created the telesillean verse and led the Battle of Sepeia against Cleomenes I, and she saved the city of Argos; claimed for equality and public participation of women in Argos and gave rise to the Hybristika festival. 

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 δ᾽ Ἁρτεμις, ὦ κόραι, 
φεύγοισα τὸν Ἀλφεόν… 

                                         Hephaestion: Enchiridion, 11, 2.

Translation:

Artemis, girls,
fleeing from Alpheus...

a- What is a parthenium? 

b- Who is Alpheus?

c- Why does Artemis run away from him?
