The matters of Nannacus

Explanation

said of things marvelled at for antiquity, or of those who lament much. For Nannacus, as Hermogenes says in his Phrygian Affairs, was king of the Phrygians before the times of Deucalion; he, foreseeing the coming Flood, gathered all into the temples and supplicated with tears. Herodes the iambic poet says: "That you may weep the matters of Nannacus."
