28. Which wife of Cephalus doubted his fidelity and was killed by his spear?
From Quiz Ovid's "Metamorphoses"
Answer:
Procris
Cephalus, on the advice of Eos, disguised himself in order to test the fidelity of his wife. He returned to the palace and offered her large sums of money to sleep with him. When she hesitated, he revealed himself and accused her of being unfaithful. She, in her anger, ran off to join Diana's band of nymphs. Cephalus begged her forgiveness and she eventually returned to him, bringing with her a hunting dog and a spear that never missed. One day he was hunting and called out to the wind, which he named Aura, to lie with him. Procris misunderstood him and thought Aura was a woman. She followed him, hoping to catch them together, but when he heard her hiding behind a bush, he unleashed his spear, thinking she was a dangerous animal. He found out too late that it was his beloved wife that he killed.
