Atlas11, on October 7, said:

'No sooner had they blinded Euenios, however, than their sheep and goats stopped giving birth and the land became barren too. Emissaries consulted the oracles in both Dofona and Delphi as to why this calamity hit them, and received the same reply-that it was because they wrongly blinded Euenios, the guardian of the sacred flock. The gods said that they themselves had sent the wolves, and that they would continue taking revenge for what had been done to him until the people of Apollonia paid him in compensation whatever he chose and felt was rightful; when this had been done, the gods said, they would give Euenios a gift which would make many men count him happy.' From Herodotos' The Histories. Erato. Book 9. 93.
