These Kretan women, Autonoma, Meliteia, and Boiskion, daughters of Philolades and Nika, each placed offerings in this temple to Athene, the Spinner: one gave the whirling spindle that reeled off her thread; another, her basket of grey wool; and the third, the active loom-rod that made the web of her cloth so fine, famed as the guardian of Penelope's virgin couch.
Thus they made an end of their laours for Athene.
