e/Ascalabus

Information
has gloss	eng: Ascalabus, a son of Misme. When Demeter on her wanderings in search of her daughter Persephone came to Misme in Attica, the goddess was received kindly, and being exhausted and thirsty, Misme gave her something to drink (a kykeon). As the goddess emptied the vessel at one draught, Ascalabus laughed at her, and ordered a whole cask to be brought. Demeter indignant at his conduct, sprinkled the few remaining drops from her vessel upon him and thereby changed him into a lizard . For different legends respecting what happened to Demeter on her arrival in Attica, see Baubo, Iambe, and Metaneira.
