Jimeno Álvarez

hispila is incorrectly written, and should be written as "Hypsipyle" being its meaning: hispila = Hipsipilaen Greek mythology, Hypsipyle was the Queen of Lemnos.Durante his reign, Aphrodite cursed the women of the island for neglecting their shrines, so they developed an extreme case of halitosis that repugnant to the men of the nation. For that reason, the men began to have intercourse with the slaves who had been captured during the invasions of Thrace. The women of Lemmos resolved to take revenge and, one night, killed all their male relatives. Only Hypsipyle forgave a man: his father, Thoas, who hid to save from the killing.
