CALES (Ancient city) CAMPANIA
(Kalais) and Zetes (Zetes). The Boreadae, or sons of Boreas
and Orithyia. They were both winged heroes, and took part in the Argonautic expedition.
Coming in the course of the enterprise to Salmydessus, they set free Phineus,
the husband of their sister Cleopatra, from the Harpies, chasing them through
the air on their wings. According to one story, they perished on this occasion;
according to another, they were slain afterwards by Heracles on the island of
Tenos, on their return from the funeral games of Pelias. This was in retribution
for the counsel which they had given to the Argonauts on the coast of Mysia, to
leave Heracles be hind. Their graves and monuments were shown in Tenos. One of
the pillars was said to move when the north wind blew.

AUSONIA (Ancient country) CAMPANIA
Auson, a son of Odysseus either by Calypso or Circe (Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 44, 696; Schol. ad Apollon. iv. 553; Serv. ad Aen. iii. 171; Suidas, s. v. Ausonion). The country of the Auruncans was believed to have derived from him the name of Ausonia. Dionysius (i. 72), in enumerating the sons of Odysseus by Circe, does not mention Auson. Liparus, from whom the name of the island of Lipara was derived, is called a son of Auson. (Steph. Byz. s. v. Lipara.)
