ThoughHerbert Jennings Rose says simply that it is "not clear which parents are meant",Athanassakis ,p. 44 , says that Phorcys and Ceto are the "more likely candidates for parents of this hideous creature who proceeded to give birth to a series of monsters and scourges". The problem arises from the ambiguous referent of the pronoun "she" in line 295 of theTheogony . While some have read this "she" as referring to Callirhoe (e.g. Smith"Echidna" ; Morford, p. 162), according to Clay,p. 159 n. 32 , "the modern scholarly consensus" reads Ceto, see for example Gantz, p. 22; Caldwell, pp. 7, 46 295–303; Grimal, "Echidna" p. 143. ^ Servius Commentary on theAeneid ofVirgil ,4.250 ,^ Tzetzes onLycophron ,874 ^ Dionysius of Halicarnassus ,Roman Antiquities 1.27.1 .^ Homeric Hymn to Demeter ^ Nonnus ,Dionysiaca Aken, Dr. A.R.A. van.
