In the poem "Nostoi," it is said that Clymene was the daughter of Minyas, that she married Cephalus, son of Deion, and bore him a son, Iphiclus.	A poetic genealogy about Clymene, Cephalus, and Iphiclus is mythic material.
10.29.6	4	mythic	high	τὰ δὲ ἐς τὴν Πρόκριν καὶ οἱ πάντες ᾄδουσιν, ὡς προτέρα Κεφάλῳ ἢ Κλυμένη συνῴκησε καὶ ὃν τρόπον ἐτελεύτησεν ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀνδρός.

After Teiresias, upon a rock, stands Anticleia, Odysseus' mother; Elpenor wears a mat wrapped around him instead of a garment, a customary covering worn by sailors.	Anticleia and Elpenor are figures from Odyssean myth; this is a depiction of mythic underworld imagery.
10.29.9	1	mythic	high	κατωτέρω δὲ τοῦ Ὀδυσσέως ἐπὶ θρόνων καθεζόμενοι Θησεὺς μὲν τὰ ξίφη τό τε Πειρίθου καὶ τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ταῖς χερσὶν ἀμφοτέραις ἔχει, ὁ δὲ ἐς τὰ ξίφη βλέπων ἐστὶν ὁ Πειρίθους·	Lower than Odysseus, seated upon thrones, are Theseus and Peirithous: Theseus holds in both hands the swords, both that of Peirithous and his own, while Peirithous gazes down upon the swords.

Panyassis wrote that Theseus and Peirithous were not seated upon the thrones as prisoners normally would be; rather, he claimed, the rock itself adhered to their flesh instead of bonds.
