d terribly and the wide heaven above; and the sea and Ocean's streams and the nether parts of the earth。  Great Olympus reeled beneath the divine feet of the king as he arose and earth groaned thereat。  And through the two of them heat took hold on the dark…blue sea; through the thunder and lightning; and through the fire from the monster; and the scorching winds and blazing thunderbolt。  The whole earth seethed; and sky and sea: and the long waves raged along the beaches round and about; at the rush of the deathless gods: and there arose an endless shaking。  Hades trembled where he rules over the dead below; and the Titans under Tartarus who live with Cronos; because of the unending clamour and the fearful strife。  So when Zeus had raised up his might and seized his arms; thunder and lightning and lurid thunderbolt; he leaped form Olympus and struck him; and burned all the marvellous heads of the monster about him。  But when Zeus had conquered him and lashed him with strokes; Typhoeus was hurled down; a maimed wreck; so that the huge earth groaned。  And flame shot forth from the thunder… stricken lord in the dim rugged glens of the mount (26); when he was smitten。  A great part of huge earth was scorched by the terrible vapour and melted as tin melts when heated by men's art in channelled (27) crucibles; or as iron; which is hardest of all things; is softened by glowing fire in mountain glens and melts in the divine earth through the strength of Hephaestus (28)。  Even so; then; the earth melted in the glow of the blazing fire。  And in the bitterness of his anger Zeus cast him into wide Tartarus。

(ll。 869…880) And from Typhoeus come boisterous winds which blow damply; except Notus and Boreas and clear Zephyr。  These are a god…sent kind; and a great blessing to men; but the others blow fitfully upon the seas。  Some rush upon the misty sea and work great havoc among men with their evil; raging blasts; for varying with the season they blow; scattering ships and destroying sailors。  And men who meet these upon the sea have no help against the mischief。  Others again over the boundless; flowering earth spoil the fair fields of men who dwell below; filling them with dust and cruel uproar。

(ll。 881…885) But when the blessed gods had finished their toil; and settled by force their struggle for honours with the Titans; they pressed far…seeing Olympian Zeus to reign and to rule over them; by Earth's prompting。  So he divided their dignities amongst them。

(ll。 886…900) Now Zeus; king of the gods; made Metis his wife first; and she was wisest among gods and mortal men。  But when she was about to bring forth the goddess bright…eyed Athene; Zeus craftily deceived her with cunning words and put her in his own belly; as Earth and starry Heaven advised。  For they advised him so; to the end that no other should hold royal sway over the eternal gods in place of Zeus; for very wise children were destined to be born of her; first the maiden bright…eyed Tritogeneia; equal to her father in strength and in wise understanding; but afterwards she was to bear a son of overbearing spirit; king of gods and men。  But Zeus put her into his own belly first; that the goddess might devise for him both good and evil。

(ll。 901…906) Next he married bright Themis who bare the Horae (Hours); and Eunomia (Order); Dike (Justice); and blooming Eirene (Peace); who mind the works of mortal men; and the Moerae (Fates) to whom wise Zeus gave the greatest honour; Clotho; and Lachesis; and Atropos who give mortal men evil and good to have。

(ll。 907…911) And Eurynome; the daughter of Ocean; beautiful in form; bare him three fair…cheeked Charites (Graces); Aglaea; and Euphrosyne; and lovely Thaleia; from whose eyes as they glanced flowed love that unnerves the limbs: and beautiful is their glance beneath their brows。

(ll。 912…914) Also he came to the bed of all…nourishing Demeter; and she bare white…armed Persephone whom Aidoneus carried off from her mother; but wise Zeus gave her to him。

(ll。 915…917) And again; he loved Mnemosyne with the beautiful hair: and of her the nine gold…crowned Muses were born who delight in feasts and the pleasures of song。

(ll。 918…920) And Leto was joined in love with Zeus who holds the aegis; and bare Apollo and Artemis delighting in arrows; children lovely above all the sons of Heaven。

(ll。 921…923) Lastly; he made Hera his blooming wife: and she was joined in love with the king of gods and men; and brought forth Hebe and Ares and Eileithyia。

(ll。 924…929) But Zeus himself gave birth from his own head to bright…eyed Tritogeneia (29); the awful; the strife…stirring; the host…leader; the unwearying; the queen; who delights in tumults and wars and battles。  But Hera without union with Zeus  for she was very angry and quarrelled with her mate  bare famous Hephaestus; who is skilled in crafts more than all the sons of Heaven。

(ll。 929a…929t) (30) But Hera was very angry and quarrelled with her mate。  And because of this strife she bare without union with Zeus who holds the aegis a glorious son; Hephaestus; who excelled all the sons of Heaven in crafts。  But Zeus lay with the fair… cheeked daughter of Ocean and Tethys apart from Hera。。。。 ((LACUNA)) 。。。。deceiving Metis (Thought) although she was full wise。  But he seized her with his hands and put her in his belly; for fear that she might bring forth something stronger than his thunderbolt: therefore did Zeus; who sits on high and dwells in the aether; swallow her down suddenly。  But she straightway conceived Pallas Athene: and the father of men and gods gave her birth by way of his head on the banks of the river Trito。  And she remained hidden beneath the inward parts of Zeus; even Metis; Athena's mother; worker of righteousness; who was wiser than gods and mortal men。  There the goddess (Athena) received that (31) whereby she excelled in strength all the deathless ones who dwell in Olympus; she who made the host…scaring weapon of Athena。  And with it (Zeus) gave her birth; arrayed in arms of war。

(ll。 930…933) And of Amphitrite and the loud…roaring Earth…Shaker was born great; wide…ruling Triton; and he owns the depths of the sea; living with his dear mother and the lord his father in their golden house; an awful god。

(ll。 933…937) Also Cytherea bare to Ares the shield…piercer Panic and Fear; terrible gods who drive in disorder the close ranks of men in numbing war; with the help of Ares; sacker of towns: and Harmonia whom high…spirited Cadmus made his wife。

(ll。 938…939) And Maia; the daughter of Atlas; bare to Zeus glorious Hermes; the herald of the deathless gods; for she went up into his holy bed。

(ll。 940…942) And Semele; daughter of Cadmus was joined with him in love and bare him a splendid son; joyous Dionysus;  a mortal woman an immortal son。  And now they both are gods。

(ll。 943…944) And Alemena was joined in love with Zeus who drives the clouds and bare mighty Heracles。

(ll。 945…946) And Hephaestus; the famous Lame One; made Aglaea; youngest of the Graces; his buxom wife。

(ll。 947…949) And golden…haired Dionysus made brown…haired Ariadne; the daughter of Minos; his buxom wife: and the son of Cronos made her deathless and unageing for him。
