Αἰνέα: Aineas was P.'s χοροδιδάσκαλος, and was to him what Phintis was to Agesias. It is supposed that Aineas was a Stymphalian relative of Agesias, and a local poet — the proper man for the performance of an ode intended to be sung at Stymphalos. The task Ἥραν Παρθενίαν κελαδῆσαι was to be the work of Aineas himself, to be followed by P.'s ode, which Aineas was to produce, and to find out by its effect whether P. was open to the old sneer against Boeotians. Aineas is a man whom he can trust with the execution of a commission which should silence the cavillers in Stymphalos.
Ἥραν Παρθενίαν: A Stymphalian goddess. Hera had three temples there, and three names, παῖς (παρθένος), τελεία, χήρα, Paus. 8, 22, 2.
