Calliope tells story of Ceres, her daughter Proserpina, and Pluto’s abduction of Proserpina

Ascalaphus tattles on Proserpina’s eating in the underworld and becomes a screech-owl The companions who were with Proserpina when she was abducted become Sirens – half bird/half women and beautiful singers

Ceres teaches agricultural arts to Triptolemus, of Eleusis (near Athens), and he teaches mankind. Story of Lyncus, King of Scythians, who tried to kill Triptolemus. Ceres turned him into a Lynx.

Final Tale of Minerva – the contest with Arachne
