Aphrodite Comaetho One of the most famous myths associated with Durga-Kali finds her slaying Mahisa, a would-be lover of bovine form.
There the goddess can be found threatening her victim as follows: "I will take away your life's breath."108 It is possible, perhaps, to recognize here a widespread theme whereby the mother goddess steals the life-breath, soul, or heart of a great king.
Here we find the association between life-soul, life-force and supernatural power in the heart, which is so typical in the imaginative world of the Pueblo peoples.123 And, one might add, in peoples from distant areas of the globe.

 Aphrodite
Aphrodite's role as an Erinys, like her role as Comaetho, confirms her intimate relation to the soul, a role which is crucial to understanding the ultimate significance of the terrible goddess, for it is as a departing "soul" that the goddess assumes her terrible aspect while threatening the world with destruction.
In the compelling image of Comaetho escaping with the life-soul of Pterelaus it is possible to recognize the archetypal witch.
If indeed the witch-like characteristics associated with the cult of the mother goddesses reflect their identification with the planet Venus, one would expect to see an explicit connection between that planet and witchcraft.

Melanippus 5 is the handsome young man who, wishing to marry Comaetho 2, a priestess of Artemis, could not do it because both her parents and his own opposed any idea of marriage.
But since, as they say, Love breaks all rules and might desecrate the worship of the gods, Melanippus 5 and his girl friend satisfied their passion in the sanctuary of Artemis.
Worried as they were they consulted the oracle at Delphi, confirming through the Pythian priestess, that the cause of these calamities was the conduct of Melanippus 5 and Comaetho 2, whom the oracle ordered to sacrifice to Artemis, so that the goddess might be appeased.

Herein he opts for the earlier date for P.'s capture (73 BC, when Nicaea fell to the Romans, rather than 66/5, final defeat of Mithridates by Pompey).
He evokes the high posthumous regard in which P. was held, surmising from the anecdote in Galen's De sententiis medicorum that P. soon became a Schulautor, and pointing out Gregory of Nazianzus' allusion to the story of Comaetho.
In his introduction to the Erotika Pathemata, he agrees with me that the manuscript's indications of 'sources', or, better, parallel versions, most probably derive from a late-antique grammarian rather than the author himself.
