| | Golden Bough Chapter 26. Sacrifice of the King's Son. |
 | | Thus Athamas was saved, but afterward he went mad, and mistaking his son Learchus for a wild beast, shot him dead. | | | Afterwards he took to himself a second wife called Ino, by whom he had two sons, Learchus and Melicertes. | | | Meanwhile at home an oracle had commanded that King Athamas himself should be sacrificed as an expiatory offering for the whole country. |

| | Both were afterwards worshipped as marine divinities, Ino as Leucothea ("the white goddess"), Melicertes as Palaemon. | | | Later, Ino raised Dionysus, her nephew, son of her sister Semele, causing Hera's intense jealousy. | | | Athamas went mad, and slew one of his sons, Learchus, thinking he was a ram; Ino, to escape the pursuit of her frenzied husband, threw herself into the sea with her son Melicertes. |

| | She married Athamas 1 and had by him two sons: Learchus and Melicertes [see Athamas 1]. | | | She first threw him into a boiling cauldron and then, carrying it with the dead child, she cast herself into the sea. | | | So Athamas 1, being out of his mind, hunted his elder son Learchus as a deer and killed him, while Ino killed Melicertes. |

| | Arcesilaus, after this blow, fell sick, and, while he was under the influence of a draught which he had taken, was strangled by Learchus, one of his brothers. | | | Accordingly they engaged the Cyrenaeans, and defeated them so entirely that as many as seven thousand of their heavy-armed were slain in the fight. | | | This Learchus was afterwards entrapped by Eryxo, the widow of Arcesilaus, and put to death. |

| | Moreover, Rhoecus and Theodorus, the inventors of casting in bronze, are placed about the beginning of the Olympiads. | | | But this is inconsistent with the account which made Learchus the pupil of Dipoenus and Scyllis, for these artists are said to have been the inventors of sculpture in marble, an art which is generally admitted to have had a later origin than that of casting in bronze. | | | Clearchi of Rhegium, one near the beginning, and the other at the end of the Daedalian period, or else we must account for the statement of Pausanias by supposing that, as often happens, a vague tradition affixed the name of a well-known ancient artist to a work whose true origin was lost in remote antiquity. |

| | The Black Library - Warriors of Ultramar and how the story proceeds |
| | It is my belief that the Ultramarines are on a slow process to overcoming their strict adherance to the codex, and for this the Tyranids deserve all the credit. | | | Also, there would be severe outrage from codex die-hards such as Learchus, and this splitting of the chapter could only be a bad thing in the troubled times of M41. | | | The point is that Marneus Calgar, although respecting Uriel and his way of thinking, has to make an example of Uriel so that others in the chapter know not to just throw aside the codex at any given opportunity. |
