C. , had occurred the eruption of Mt. Aetna which is so finely pictured, vs. 21 fg. In 476 B. C. , Hiero drove out the people of Catana and founded there a new city which he called Aetna from the mountain at whose foot it lay. In honor of this city he had himself proclaimed victor as an Aetnean citizen. In 474 B. C. , Hiero conquered the Etruscans at Cumae, to which reference is made in v. 72 and perhaps also in v. 51. For Hiero's other victories in the games see page 74. According to Hermann, ...de officio interprets, p. 15, Opuscula Vol. VII, universum carminis argumentum hac continetur sententia : cithara, cane urbem Aetnam, illustratam victoria Hieronis, optaque ei concordiam, pacem, prosperitatem, iustumque et liberale imperium. The ode begins with an apostrophe to the lyre ; all whom Zeus loves delight in its notes, but the voice of the Muses affrights the enemies of Zeus. Such is Typhon who lies in Tartarus, weighed down by Aetna. The city named for this mountain has received glory from the victory of Hiero, glorious in battle.
