Nonnulli etiam dixerunt Venerem cum Proserpina ad iudicium Iovis venisse, cui earum Adonim concederet. Quibus Calliopen ab Iove datam iudicem, quae Musa Orphei est mater; itaque iudicasse, uti dimidiam partem anni earum unaquaeque possideret.

Some also have said that Venus [Aphrodite] and Proserpina [Persephone] came to Jove [Zeus] for his decision [as to which goddess should possess Adonis], asking him to which of them he would grant Adonis. Calliope, the judge appointed by Jove [Zeus], decided that each should posses him half of the year.
