In one of these (Hahn, ii. p. 234), a Lamia guards the water of life (+abanato nero+) which flows within a rock; in another (ii. p. 280) a mountain opens at midday, and several springs are disclosed, each of which cries "Draw from me!" but the only one which is life-giving is that to which a bee flies.
Who acts: Lamia, water, one, each, only one, bee · What happens: guard, flow, open, disclose, cry, draw · To what, where: water, another, midday, several springs, that · Speech: someone speaks here
