  Antoninus Pius - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
ANTONINUS PIUS [TITUS AURELIUS FULVUS BOIONIUS [[Arrius Antoninus],]] (A.D. 86-161), Roman emperor A.D. 138161, the son of Aurelius Fulvus, a Roman consul whose family had originally belonged to Nemausus (Nimes), was born near Lanuvium on the 19th of September 86.
After the death of his father, he was brought up under the care of Arrius Antoninus, his maternal grandfather, a man of integrity and culture, and on terms of friendship with the younger Pliny.
Having filled with more than usual success the offices of quaestor and praetor, he obtained the consulship in 120; he was next chosen one of the four consulars for Italy, and greatly increased his reputation by his conduct as proconsul of Asia.

Antoninus Liberalis, Greek grammarian, probably flourished about AD 150.
Many of the transformations in this compilation of forty-one are found nowhere else, and some may simply be inventions of this author; the manner of the narrative is a laconic and conversational prose; "this completely inartistic text" (Myers) offers the briefest summaries of lost metamorphoses by more ambitious writers, such as Nicander and Boios.

However, with a considerable amount of at times good-natured self- deprecating humor and an array of enthusiastic and eclectic information, this book succeeds in being both accessible and informative for both the general reader and even the professional scholar in other disciplines who is interested in mythological variants.
Antoninus Liberalis' mythological collection contains a vexed mix of various and disputed sources and interpretation remains difficult.

 Stirge
The name is Greek in origin and means "owl", with which bird it is usually identified (the name of the genus Strix follows this meaning).
The earliest recorded tale of the strix is from the lost Ornithologia of the Greek author Boio, which is partially preserved in Antoninus Liberalis's Metamorphoses.
This tells the story of Polyphonte and her two sons Agrios and Oreios (their father being a wild bear), who were punished for their cannibalism, like Lycaon, by being transformed into wild animals.

 Legends of the Saints
If Mary considers herself as betrothed to the priest who serves her, the meaning of this is not far to seek; but nevertheless Callimachus (third century
) had also treated this idea in a legend of Artemis, and Antoninus Liberalis and the Talmud have variations of it.
And if, in this legend of Mary, the Blessed Virgin put a ring on the hand of her betrothed under quite characteristic circumstances, that is nothing else than the Roman local legend of the betrothal of Venus, as it has been preserved by William of Malmesbury and the "Deutsche Kaiserchronik" of the twelfth century.

[¶51.] Another piece of evidence comes to us from Antoninus Liberalis, in whose version the young girl is substituted by a tauros and whisked off to the land of the Taurians, where she becomes the priestess of Artemis Tauropolis.
Generally, she is a figure associated with the difficulties of making these transitions, neither of which she experiences personally in the "vulgate" tradition.
Second, the account of Antoninus suggests that this role is in some way intrinsic to the Tauric Chersonnese.

 For an Answer: Chrsitian Apologetics - Longenecker - Monogenhs
The word monogenēs, with its variants mounogeneia (an early feminine poetic form) and mounogonos (a later masculine form), occurs first in extant Greek literature in the writings of the eighth-century B.C. poet Hesiod.
Thereafter it appears in the work of such diverse authors as Parmenides, Aeschylus, Plato, Herodotus, Apollonius Rhodius, and Antoninus Liberalis, as well as in the Orphic Hymns.
This is one way it was used by Hesiod (Works and Days 376; Theogony 426), Plato (Critias 113d), Herodotus (History 7.221), and Antoninus Liberalis (Mythographi Graeci, ed.

The span of time between Hesiod and writers like Antoninus is ~800 years so trying to understand Greek Myth in a total package is bound to be confusing.
Imagine if, while looking in as an outsider, you tried to pigeon hole Christianity into one framework of understanding while using scattered bits of Middle Age Catholicism, Mormanism, Southern Baptist, Modern Evangelical, Greek Orthodox, Coptic, Monophosite, etc, etc to develop your holistic picture...
To use a later source like Antoninus Liberalis per se to understand what Greek mythology meant to the average Greek during mid 1st Millennium BC would be a tad misguided...

 Hecate Summary
It is likely that Hekate's association with restless souls, and thence magic, arose from two other concerns she held from early times.
The first was her interest in girls' transitions from virginity to marriage and in the childbirth and child nurture that follow marriage (Euripides Trojan Women 323; Aeschylus Suppliants 676; Antoninus Liberalis 29; Hesiod Theogony 450–451; scholiast on Aristophanes Wasps 804; see Johnston 1999, chapter 6).
Girls who died unmarried and women who died without successfully rearing children were considered to have died "untimely" (aoros), and their souls were imagined to wander with Hekate, wreaking havoc on the world of the living out of envy and frustration; magicians sometimes invoked these unhappy souls to do their bidding.
