	Mopsus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mopsus, a celebrated seer and diviner, was the son of Manto, daughter of the mythic seer Tiresias and Rhacius of Caria or of Apollo himself, the oracular god.
		Mopsus— and perhaps a tradition of his heirs, like the Melampodidae, the Iamidae from Olympia or the Eumolpidae at Eleusis— officiated at the altars of Apollo at Klaros; and from his unerring wisdom and discernment gave rise to the proverb, "more certain than Mopsus".
		Mopsus, son of Ampyx and a nymph (sometimes named as Chloris), born at Titaressa in Thessaly, was also a seer and augur.

		Although MenalcasÌ song responds to MopsusÌ by continuing the theme of the death of Daphnis, this is not a traditional dialogue.
		Inasmuch as MopsusÌ song is written like VirgilÌs poem that presents it, the act of reading becomes an experience through which the readerÌs encounter with the poem translates into the experience of represented speech within the poem and vice versa.
		Within his song (43-44) Mopsus quotes the epitaph that will be written on DaphnisÌ tombstone, alluding not only to the epigrammatic dying words of Daphnis in Theocritus 1 (120-21), but also to Theocritus 18 and the inscription on a tree sacred to Helen (47-48).

		The learned members of Bruegel's and Cock's audience surely would have appreciated the association of the ancient quotation with a contemporary folk custom at Shrovetide, the season of festivity just before Lent.
