__NOTOC__{{italic title}} The Wedding of Ceyx ({{lang-grc|Κήυκος γάμος}}, Kḗykos gámos) is a fragmentary Ancient Greek hexameter poem that was attributed to Hesiod during antiquity. The fragments that survive imply that the subject of the poem was not simply the wedding of a certain Ceyx, but Heracles' arrival at, and involvement in, the festivities. For this reason Merkelbach and West suppose that the poem should be regarded "as a member of that group of epics and epyllia that dealt with exploits of Heracles, like the Aspis and the Capture of Oechalia."[1] The identity of the Ceyx whose marriage was the titular scene of the poem has been a matter of dispute. Merkelbach and West initially identified him with the ill-fated groom of the similarly ill-fated Alcyone: they were turned into birds for the hubris they showed in referring to one another as "Zeus" and "Hera".[2] Given the poem's apparent focus upon Heracles, however, it is more likely that this Ceyx was actually the king of Trachis who was a nephew of Amphitryon, the great hero's stepfather.[3] The poem appears to have been popular for the witticisms and riddles uttered at the banquet. One famous riddle is preserved, although incompletely so, by a papyrus scrap and ancient quotations: {{Verse translation|italicsoff=y|{{lang|grc|⌊αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ δαιτὸς μὲν ἐίσης⌋ ἐξ ἔρον ἕντο}}{{lang|grc|⌊μητέρα μητρὸς⌋}} {{lang|grc|παισ]ὶν ἄγοντο}} {{lang|grc|⌊ἀζαλέην τε καὶ ὀπταλέην σφετέροισι⌋ τέκεσσι}}{{lang|grc|⌊τεθνάναι⌋}}| then when they had put away their desire for equal banquet ] mother's mother [ ] they led [to the children, dry and roasted to their own children to die [[4]}} According to West, the "children" here are the flames whose mother would be wood. The "mother's mother" is the acorn, which is being roasted in the fire.[5] Editions and translationsCritical editions
