	All words on Typhon
		It was in Cilicia that Zeus battled with the ancient monster and overcame him.
		It was not an easy battle: Typhon temporarily overcame Zeus, cut the sinews from him and left him in the "leather sack," the korukos'' that is the etymological origin of the korukion atron, the Korykian or Corycian Cave.
		The inveterate enemy of the Olympian gods is described as a vast grisly monster with a hundred heads and a hundred serpents issuing from his thighs, who was conquered and cast into Tartarus by Zeus.

		In chronological and sequential order these texts are: Virgil's description of the Corycian gardener in Georgics 4.116-148, Columella Books 10 and 11, Book 19 from Pliny the Elder's Natural History, and those chapters from Palladius that are concerned with gardening.
		Noting the calendrical nature of Palladius' work, H. points out that Palladius' catalogue of seasonally-appropriate garden tasks invests the ancient garden with the experience of motion; this is a critical feature of garden experience that is only beginning to be fully explored.
		H. then comments briefly on Virgil's description of the Corycian gardener in the Georgics (presented as the Introduction) before moving on to Columella, whose work is the main focus of the book.

		There, seeing the monster sore wounded, he grappled with him.
		But Typhon twined about him and gripped him in his coils, and wresting the sickle from him severed the sinews of his hands and feet, and lifting him on his shoulders carried him through the sea to Cilicia and deposited him on arrival in the Corycian cave.
		Likewise he put away the sinews there also, hidden in a bearskin, and he set to guard them the she-dragon Delphyne, who was a half-bestial maiden.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.08.30
		Chapter six (The Old Man Revisited: Memory, Reference and Genre in Virgil Georgics 4.116-48), in turn, provides a fuller exposition of Virgilian intertextual practice, particularly with regard to the poet's extensive conflation and subsumption of his Alexandrian predecessors.
		Here Thomas posits a Philitean model for the Corycian gardener in the fourth book of the Georgics.
		But with the Corycian the poet does not simply look to Philitas, however, but also reworks and integrates the Lycidas of Theocritus' seventh Idyll and the Tityrus of the first Eclogue, a process, Thomas argues, that is metapoetically signposted in Virgil's text.
