Fragment #53 —­ Scholiast on Pindar, Nem. ii. 21:  Concerning the Myrmidons Hesiod speaks thus:  `And she conceived and bare Aeacus, delighting in horses.  Now when he came to the full measure of desired youth, he chafed at being alone.  And the father of men and gods made all the ants that were in the lovely isle into men and wide-girdled women.  These were the first who fitted with thwarts ships with curved sides, and the first who used sails, the wings of a sea-going ship.’

Fragment #54 —­
Polybius, v. 2: 
`The sons of Aeacus who rejoiced in battle as though a feast.’

Fragment #55 —­
Porphyrius, Quaest.  Hom. ad Iliad. pertin. p. 93: 
He has indicated the shameful deed briefly by the phrase `to lie
with her against her will’, and not like Hesiod who recounts at
length the story of Peleus and the wife of Acastus.

Fragment #56 —­ Scholiast on Pindar, Nem. iv. 95:  `And this seemed to him (Acastus) in his mind the best plan; to keep back himself, but to hide beyond guessing the beautiful knife which the very famous Lame One had made for him, that in seeking it alone over steep Pelion, he (Peleus) might be slain forthwith by the mountain-bred Centaurs.’

Fragment #57 —­ Voll.  Herculan. (Papyri from Herculaneum), 2nd Collection, viii. 105:  The author of the “Cypria” (38) says that Thetis avoided wedlock with Zeus to please Hera; but that Zeus was angry and swore that she should mate with a mortal.  Hesiod also has the like account.

Fragment #58 —­ Strassburg Greek Papyri 55 (2nd century A.D.):  (ll. 1-13) `Peleus the son of Aeacus, dear to the deathless gods, came to Phthia the mother of flocks, bringing great possessions from spacious Iolcus.  And all the people envied him in their hearts seeing how he had sacked the well-built city, and accomplished his joyous marriage; and they all spake this word:  “Thrice, yea, four times blessed son of Aeacus, happy Peleus!  For far-seeing Olympian Zeus has given you a wife with many gifts and the blessed gods have brought your marriage fully to pass, and in these halls you go up to the holy bed of a daughter of Nereus.  Truly the father, the son of Cronos, made you very pre-eminent among heroes and honoured above other men who eat bread and consume the fruit of the ground."’

Fragment #59 —­ (39)
Origen, Against Celsus, iv. 79: 
`For in common then were the banquets, and in common the seats of
deathless gods and mortal men.’

Fragment #60 —­
Scholiast on Homer, Il. xvi. 175: 
...whereas Hesiod and the rest call her (Peleus’ daughter)
Polydora.

Fragment #61 —­
Eustathius, Hom. 112. 44 sq: 
It should be observed that the ancient narrative hands down the
account that Patroclus was even a kinsman of Achilles; for Hesiod
says that Menoethius the father of Patroclus, was a brother of
Peleus, so that in that case they were first cousins.
