Snapple Real "Fact" #816: Greek Apples

Alright, I am breaking the rules of the blog by posting on something I read which is only a trivial label but I couldn't let this rest. According to Snapple (Real Fact #816), "In Ancient Greece throwing an apple to a woman was considered a marriage proposal". So where did they get this? There is always the myth of Atalanta (cf. above picture). Or there is Catullus 2b:

tam gratum est mihi quam ferunt puellae
pernici aureolum fuisse malum,
quod zonam soluit diu ligatam.

In Idyll 5 of Theocritus a girl coyly throws apples, in Idyll 6 Galatea throws apples at Polyphemos' flock. Also in Idyll 11, Theocritus mentions apples among roses and locks of hair as gifts in courtship that Polyphemos didn't use.

I am not about to dig into my Greek law books (packed and waiting to be moved in the trunk of my car at present), so does anyone else know where Snapple may have gotten this "fact"?

Personal Library Catalog

Dissatisfied with my own attempts to catalog my own library (via excel or word), I found this at the apple site. The great thing is that you can type in the ISBN and it will autocomplete the information for the book from the Library of Congress (or amazon or whatever you choose). Also it automatically uploads photos of covers so that you can switch your view from list to covers (much as you would on iTunes). I imagine this will make life much easier if I need to box up books that I use seldom--I could create a list for each box (making sure to label the box) and then search my library later to find, say, the Pitt press commentary on Juvenal is in Box #14. Then I don't have to rummage all over the house for it and I am able to maintain fewer active bookshelves at home (a hazard with a soon-to-crawl baby).
