In Greek mythology, Cyrene or Kyrene, was a Thessalian princess, the queen and ruler of the North African city of Cyrene. According to the myth, the city was named after her by Apollo; as recorded in Pindar's ninth Pythian ode, Cyrene was the daughter of Hypseus, king of the Lapiths, although some myths state that her father was the river-god Peneus and she was a nymph rather than a mortal. According to Apollonius Rhodius, she had a sister called Larissa. By the god Apollo she bore Idmon. Aristaeus became the god of animal husbandry, cheese making. Idmon became a famed seer, killed by a boar. Apollonius Rhodius states that the couple had another son called Autuchus. Cyrene was the daughter of Hypseus, she was a fierce huntress, called by Nonnus a "deer-chasing second Artemis, the girl lionkiller" and "a champion in the leafy forest with lionslaying hands". In Thesmophoriazusae Mnesilochus comments that he "can't see a man there at all - only Cyrene" when setting eyes upon the poet Agathon who has dressed in women's clothing and accessorised himself with male and female attributes.

She was a companion of goddess Artemis. With the help of these dogs, Cyrene had been able to win the prize in the funeral games of Pelias. Pindar describes her in his Pythian Ode: And by Hypseus was reared this maid, Cyrene of the lovely arms, but she loved not the pacing tread this way and that beside the loom, nor the delights of merry feasts with her companions in the household. But the bronze-tipped javelin and the sword called her to combat and slay the wild beasts of the field; when a lion attacked her father's sheep, Cyrene wrestled with the lion. Apollo, present, admired her bravery and skills, he wondered if it would be right to make her his bride. But after consulting and getting an approval by Chiron, he carried her away to North Africa in his golden car. After Apollo made her the queen of the fertile and rich land, Aphrodite welcomed them both, and Aphrodite of the silver feet welcomed this guest from Delos, laying the touch of her light hand upon his god-built car, o'er the sweet bliss of their bridal she spread love's shy and winsome modesty, plighting in joint wedlock the god and maiden daughter of wide-ruling Hypseus...

That day saw the decision, in a chamber of rich gold in Libya they lay together. There she is guardian of a city rich in beauty. In North Africa, Apollo founded the city Cyrene in the region of Cyrenaica, both named after his lover, she had two sons by Apollo: Aristaeus, the god of beekeeping, Idmon, the Argonaut seer. Another son, Autuchus is mentioned by Apollonuis of Rhodes. Aristaeus was entrusted to Chiron, Idmon was brought up and educated by Apollo. After she gave birth to their sons, Apollo transformed her into a nymph, so that she could have a long life and keep hunting as much as she desired, he helped her by lifting her hunting nets. In Callimachus and Acesander's account, when Eurypylus was still ruling Libya, a monstrous lion had terrorized the citizens greatly. So Apollo brought Cyrene to get rid of the beast. After she killed the beast on the Myrtoussa, Apollo stood on the same hill and showed to her the land of Libya, which she had now become the queen of. Other version says that Cyrene was not wrestling with a lion but instead tending her sheep along the marsh-meadow of the river Pineios when Apollo carried her away.

Eurydice, the wife of Orpheus, died when she was bitten by a snake that she had trod upon while being pursued by Aristaeus. As a consequence of her death, all of his bees died. Desolate, he bemoaned his situation. Cyrene instructed him to seek the advise of Proteus. Aristaios follows his mother's instructions and Proteus tells how to appease Eurydice's soul and recover his bees

Along Came a Spider is a 2001 American neo noir psychological thriller film directed by Lee Tamahori. It is the second installment of the Alex Cross film series and a sequel to the 1997 film Kiss the Girls, with Morgan Freeman reprising his role as detective Alex Cross; the screenplay by Marc Moss was adapted from the 1993 novel of the same title by James Patterson, but many of the key plot elements of the book were controversially eliminated. The movie received negative to mixed critical reviews. After Washington, D. C. detective forensic psychologist and author Alex Cross loses control of a sting operation, resulting in the death of his partner, he retires from the force. He finds himself drawn back to police work when Megan Rose, the daughter of a United States senator, is kidnapped from her exclusive private school by computer science teacher Gary Soneji. US Secret Service Special Agent Jezzie Flannigan, held responsible for the breach in security, joins forces with Cross to find the missing girl.

This was. Soneji contacts Cross by phone and alerts him to the fact one of Megan's sneakers is in the detective's mailbox, proving that Soneji is the kidnapper. Cross deduces that the man is obsessed with the 1932 Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. kidnapping and hopes to become as infamous as Bruno Hauptmann by committing a new "Crime of the Century" which might be discussed by Cross in one of his true crime books. Megan's kidnapping proves to be only part of Soneji's real plan: to kidnap Dimitri Starodubov, the son of the Russian president, guaranteeing himself greater infamy. After Cross and Flannigan foil his second kidnapping plot, a supposed call from the kidnapper demands that Cross deliver a ransom of $10 million in diamonds, by following an intricate maze of calls made to public phone booths scattered throughout the city. Following the ransom directions, Cross tosses the gems out the window of a moving Metro train to a figure standing by the tracks. Soneji arrives at Flannigan's home and confronts Cross after disabling Flannigan with a taser.

Because Soneji has not reacted to Cross's verbal comment about receiving the ransom amount, the detective realizes that the kidnapper is unaware of the ransom demand and delivery. Soneji tries to leave with Flannigan. Cross becomes suspicious and realizes that someone else discovered Soneji long before his plot came to fruition. After searching Flannigan's personal computer, he finds enough evidence to prove that Flannigan and her fellow Secret Service agent Ben Devine used Soneji as a pawn in their own plot to collect a ransom for Megan, he tracks them down to a secluded farmhouse, where Flannigan has murdered Devine and is now intent on killing Megan. Cross stops Flannigan by shooting her in the heart. Cross kneels before the nervous Megan to introduce himself as her parents' friend, she asks if he can take her home to them, he assures her that nothing would make him happier. One of the primary elements of the book screenwriter Marc Moss eliminated from his script was the fact that Soneji is a mild-mannered suburban husband and father suffering from dissociative identity disorder resulting from having been abused as a child.

After a lengthy trial for kidnapping and several murders not included in the film, he is found guilty but remanded to a mental institution to serve his sentence. Missing from the film is a romantic relationship shared by Cross and Jezzie, her trial and eventual execution by lethal injection, the discovery of Megan, hidden away with a native Bolivian family near the Andes Mountains, two years after her kidnapping. A few other minor differences from the original book include: Dimitri being kidnapped at the same time as Megan. Box office receipts totaled US$105,178,561, of which $74,078,174 was from the United States having earned US$16,712,407 in its opening weekend at 2,530 theaters; the film received mixed to negative reviews and has a "rotten" rating of 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 125 critic reviews. Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times called the film an "overplotted, hollow thriller, which crams in so much exposition that characters speak in fetid hunks for what seems like minutes at a time...

But Spider couldn't be better served than it is by Mr. Freeman, whose prickly smarts and silken impatience bring believability to a classless, underdeveloped thriller... Still, he is wasted in this impersonal inept thriller."Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a mixed 2 stars out of a possible 4, calling it "loophole-riddled, verging on the nonsensical". He wrote, "I'm wondering, since Dr. Alex Cross is so brilliant, how come he doesn't notice yawning logical holes in the fabric of the story he's occupying?" Nonetheless, Ebert thought. "Maybe actors should be given Oscars," he wrote, "not for the good films they triumph in, but for the weak films they survive."Robert Koehler of Variety felt "the characteristics that have made Cross so appealing his mind-tickling abilities to assess and outmaneuver his criminal opponents, are reduced here to the most fundamental and predictable level... As reliable as any actor in Hollywood, Freeman delivers the requisite gravitas, but the bland script curtails any personal touches he might have inserted were his sleu
