Unreferenced date December 2009 For Trinakria as an alternate name for modern Sicily and for its triskeles symbol, also known as the island of the sun, see Trinacria . Thrinakia Greek language Greek , also Trinacria or Thrinacie , mentioned in Book 11 of Homer s Odyssey , is the island home of Helios s cattle , guarded by his eldest daughter, Lampetia . It is sometimes said to have been Sicily , since the name Thrinacia could be taken to imply a connection to the number three Greek treis, tria sounds vaguely similar to Thri and Sicily has three corners. However the island is also associated with Malta , and the fact that Sicily is often identified with the episode of the Cyclops Cyclopes only serves to underscore the shaky footing any geographer is on when trying to identify Homer s locations. Odysseus and his crew arrive at Thrinacia after passing past Scylla and Charybdis . Odysseus has been warned by both Circe and the shade of Tiresias to avoid Thrinacia, but his men beg him to let them stop and rest. He reluctantly agrees, but makes them swear an oath not to touch the cattle on the island. However, for the next month unfavorable winds blow continuously and they are unable to leave. When Odysseus goes to pray for a safe return to Ithaca , his crew, fearing starvation, slaughter and eat some of Helios s cattle. In punishment, when they finally sail away from the island, Helios successfully pleads to Zeus to send a thunderbolt at their ship, killing all the men except Odysseus. Odysseus is spared but, as forewarned by Circe and Tiresias, is himself punished when his return to Ithaca is delayed by a seven year sojourn on Ogygia .

La catena d Adone The Chain of Adonis is the only surviving opera by the Italy Italian composer Domenico Mazzocchi . It was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito Aldobrandini and first performed at the Palazzo Conti, Rome on February 12, 1626. The libretto , in a prologue and five acts, is by Ottavio Tronsarelli and is based on episodes from Giambattista Marino s epic poem Adone 1623 . Historical importance La catena d Adone was an important step in the development of Roman opera. The demarcation between recitative and aria grew more distinct in this work as Mazzocchi tried to escape what he called the monotony of Florentine opera. Roles The prologue includes Apollo tenor and Cyclops cyclopes . The opera itself has roles for the enchantress Falsirena soprano Adonis Adone alto Pluto god Plutone bass voice bass Venus Venere soprano Idonia soprano and Arsete bass , advisers of Falsirena Oraspe tenor Cupid Amore soprano Echo mythology Eco alto nymphs and shepherds. At the premiere, Falsirena was sung by the composer and castrato Loreto Vittori . Synopsis In the prologue, Apollo descends from the clouds and laments Venere s desertion of her husband, the god Vulcano Vulcan , for the young Adone. In the opera proper drawn from Cantos XII and XIII of Marino s poem , Adone has to flee from Venere s former lover, the god Mars god Marte , and takes refuge in the land of the enchantress Falsirena, who falls in love with him. Falsirena keeps him captive in her realm by means of a magic, invisible chain. She asks Plutone to find out who Adone s love is, then pretends to be Venere. But the real goddess arrives, frees Adone and binds Falsirena to a rock with her own chain.
