Zeus responds with a flash of lightning, which Aeacus understands to
be an affirmation from the gods. Aeacus then sees a colony of ants
covering a tree, so he asks for as many people as there are ants.
Overnight, Aeacus has a dream that these ants fall to the ground and
are transformed into people. When he wakes the next morning, he
finds that his island has been repopulated and that his prayers have
been answered. He names the people Myrmidons after the Greek
word myrmex for ants.

34. My mistress’ eyes are ;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Sonnet 130 of William Shakespeare mocks the conventions of the showy and
flowery courtly sonnets in its realistic portrayal of his mistress.
