PartXXXIII-Catullus64

Emathia- The earliest poetic name for Macedonia.


Achilles- The Greek hero of the Trojan War. The son of Peleus, king of Thessaly, and the sea-goddess Thetis. He was dipped into the river Styx and the only part left untouched by the immortal effect was his Achilles tendon, which is where he got shot with an arrow and died.

Summary: Then Catullus writes that the Moirai told Peleus to run far away to get away from Crete and that she will be rewarded and somehow made up for what treachery was committed against her.
