The erudite Prodicos of Ceos, who flourished towardthe end of the first century before our era, is theauthor of the celebrated apologue which St. Basilrecommended to Christian meditation: "Heraklesbetween virtue and voluptuousness." We know thatHerakles decided for the first, and was thus enabled toaccomplish a certain number of great crimes againstthe Hinds, the Amazons, the Golden Apples and theGiants. If Prodicos had limited himself to that, hewould have written only a fable of readily comprehendedsymbolism, but he was a clever philosopherand his repertory of tales, "The Hours," which wasdivided into three parts, presented the moral truthsunder their three different aspects which correspondto the three ages of life.
