Sithon interrupted and pronounced the god winner; Dionysus then killed the king with his thyrsus, thus avenging the deaths of the previous suitors.

In the chronicle, Amlethus (Hamlet) is sent to court Hermuthruda by the King of England.

Sithon promised both the hand of Pallene and his kingdom to the one who would defeat him in single combat. Pallene was so beautiful that a lot of suitors sought her hand, but all of them, including Merops of Anthemusia and Periphetes of Mygdonia, were slain by Sithon. As he grew older and his strength began to fail him, he arranged that the suitors fight each other instead of himself until one of them was killed; the winner would then get both Pallene and the kingdom. When two new wooers, Dryas and Cleitus, arrived, Pallene fell in love with Cleitus.

She described how a king set three wooers to learn something in six months, and the cleverest would win the princess. One learned how to travel a year's journey in an hour; another to see things at a distance; the third to cure any illness. They met again, and the second saw the princess was dying, the first brought the third to her, and the third one cured her. Then the prince and the nightingale argued whether the second or the third had done the better, until the princess burst out that it would have been useless without the first, who should have her.

Later in May, the Met staged a program of one-act ballets consisting of Theme and Variations, Duo Concertant and Gaîté Parisienne, featuring Copeland in all three. Siebert praised her work as the lead in Balanchine's choreography of Igor Stravinsky's Duo Concertant for violin and piano performed by Benjamin Bowman and Emily Wong. Of her Flower Girl in Gaîté Parisienne, Apollinaire Scherr of The Financial Times wrote that she "tips like a brimming watering can into the bouquets her wooers hold out to her". Copeland was a "flawless" demi-soloist in Theme and Variations, according to Colleen Boresta of Critical Dance. In June 2014 at the Met, she danced the Fairy Autumn in the Frederick Ashton Cinderella, cited for her energetic exuberance in the role by Hochman, who missed the "varied texture and nuance that made it significantly more interesting" in the hands of ABT's Christine Shevchenko.

Because of her efforts to put off remarriage, Penelope is often seen as a symbol of connubial fidelity.J.W. Mackail, Penelope in the Odyssey (Cambridge University Press, 1916) But because Athena wants her "to show herself to the wooers, that she might set their hearts a-flutter and win greater honor from her husband and her son than heretofore", Penelope does eventually appear before the suitors (xviii.160–162). As Irene de Jong comments: > As so often, it is Athena who takes the initiative in giving the story a new > direction ... Usually the motives of mortal and god coincide, here they do > not: Athena wants Penelope to fan the Suitors’ desire for her and (thereby) > make her more esteemed by her husband and son; Penelope has no real motive > ... she simply feels an unprecedented impulse to meet the men she so loathes > ... adding that she might take this opportunity to talk to Telemachus (which > she will indeed do).Irene de Jong. (2001).

In his Proverbs printed in 1566, are the following lines: > >> Where wooers hoppe in and out, long time may bring > Him that hoppeth best at last to have the ring > > But to return to the egg-dance. This performance was common enough about > thirty years back and was well received at Sadler's Wells; where I saw it > exhibited, not by simply hopping round a single egg, but in a manner that > much increased the difficulty. A number of eggs, I do not precisely > recollect how many, but I believe about twelve or fourteen, were placed at > certain distances marked upon the stage; the dancer, taking his stand, was > blind-folded, and a hornpipe being played in the orchestra, he went through > all the paces and figures of the dance, passing backwards and forwards > between the eggs without touching them. John Collier, The New Art Gallery Walsall The hornpipe was one of dances performed as an egg dance.
