About Meropis
Meropis is an Ancient Greek epic poem of unknown authorship from c. sixth century BC, known only from fragments and references. The fragments describe Heracles among the Meropes, a battle with the giant Asteron, and how the goddess Athena intervenes to aid Hercules. The use of ambrosia in this poem recalls a similar episode in the Odyssey. The episode in which Athena skins Asteron evokes the analogous episode involving Pallas, as described by Pseudo-Apollodorus.
