Editing Pandareus (section)

=== Pandareus' robbery ===
Pandareus was said to have been favored by the goddess [[Demeter]], who conferred upon him the benefit of never suffering from indigestion, however much food he should eat.<ref name=":0" /> At the request of his impious friend, [[Tantalus]], Pandareus stole a golden dog from a sacred place to [[Zeus]] on [[Crete]]; that dog had guarded Zeus during his infancy by the will of [[Rhea (mythology)|Rhea]], Zeus' mother.<ref name="ant"/> On the other hand, Byzantine scholar [[Eustathius of Thessalonica]] writes that rather Pandareus and Tantalus attempted to steal a mechanic dog that had been crafted by [[Hephaestus]] himself, which was placed in a temple of Zeus in Crete. Zeus then sent his son [[Hermes]] to steal the dog back and then punished the two thieves.<ref>Eustathius ad Homer, ''[[Odyssey]]'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=ZP4NAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA216 19.710]</ref> Pandareus carried off the dog and gave it to Tantalus to hide, but when he later asked for the dog, Tantalus insisted he had never received it. Zeus punished Pandareus by turning him into stone as he stood.<ref name="ant">Antoninus Liberalis, [https://topostext.org/work/216#36 36]</ref> In other authors he fled to the island of [[Sicily]], where he perished together with his wife [[Harmothoë]].<ref>[[Eustathius of Thessalonica|Eustathius]] ad [[Homer]], p. 1875</ref>
