Else why will not        these immortal sandals prevail�察�even against the desert 

storms�拭     �Shall I never see my mother more�察�and the blue                  ripple round 

Seriphos�察�and the sunny hills of Hellas��' 

     So he prayed�察�and after he had prayed there was a great                silence。 

     The heaven was still above his head�察�and the sand was still                  beneath 

his feet�察�and Perseus looked up�察�but there was               nothing but the blinding 

sun in the blinding blue�察�and round             him�察�but there was nothing but the 

blinding sand。 

     And Perseus stood still   a while�察 �and waited�察 �and said�察            �'Surely  I   am 

not    here  without    the   will  of  the  Immortals�察    �for   Athene     will   not  lie。 

Were not these sandals to lead me in             the right road�拭      �Then the road in 

which I have tried to go        must be a wrong road。' 

     Then     suddenly    his   ears  were    opened�察   �and   he   heard   the  sound    of 

running water。 

     And at that his heart was lifted up�察�though he scarcely dare                  believe 

his   ears�察  �and   weary   as   he   was�察  �he   hurried   forward�察  �though   he   could 

scarcely stand upright�察�and   within a  bowshot             of him  was a  glen in the 

sand�察  �and   marble   rocks�察  �and   date´   trees�察  �and   a   lawn   of   gay  green   grass。 

And through the lawn a          streamlet sparkled and wandered out beyond the 

trees�察�and     vanished in the sand。 

     The water trickled among the rocks�察�and a pleasant breeze                  rustled in 

the dry  date´branches   and Perseus   laughed   for joy�察         �and   leapt   down the 

cliff�察�and drank of the cool water�察�and          ate of the dates�察�and slept upon the

turf�察�and leapt up and        went forward again�此        �but not toward the north this 

time�察�for     he said�察�'Surely Athene hath sent me hither�察�and will not                 have 

me go homeward yet。            What if there be another noble deed              to be done�察�

before I see the sunny hills of Hellas��' 

     So he went east�察�and east for ever�察�by fresh oases and                fountains�察�date´ 

palms�察  �and   lawns   of   grass�察  �till   he   saw   before him   a   mighty   mountain´ 

wall�察�all rose´red in the setting sun。 

     Then he towered in the air like an eagle�察�for his limbs were                     strong 

again�察  �and   he   flew   all   night   across   the   mountain   till the   day   began   to 

dawn�察    �and   rosy´fingered      Eos   came    blushing     up   the    sky。   And     then�察�

behold�察�beneath him was the long green               garden of Egypt and the shining 

stream of Nile。 

     And he   saw  cities   walled   up   to   heaven�察 �and   temples�察  �and       obelisks�察�

and pyramids�察�and giant Gods of stone。              And he came         down amid fields 

of   barley�察  �and   flax�察  �and   millet�察 �and    clambering       gourds�察   �and   saw   the 

people coming out of the gates            of a great city�察�and setting to work�察�each 

in   his   place�察 �among   the   water´courses�察  �parting   the   streams   among   the 

plants     cunningly       with    their  feet�察  �according     to   the  wisdom      of   the 

Egyptians。      But   when   they   saw   him   they   all   stopped   their     work�察  �and 

gathered round him�察�and cried ´ 

     'Who art thou�察�fair   youth�拭�and what   bearest thou beneath   thy                goat´ 

skin there�拭     �Surely thou art one of the Immortals�察�for               thy skin is white 

like   ivory�察 �and   ours is   red like   clay。   Thy     hair   is like threads of   gold�察�

and ours is black and curled。            Surely thou art one of the Immortals��' and 

they would have         worshipped him then and there�察�but Perseus said ´ 

     'I am not one of the Immortals�察�but I am a hero of the                Hellens。     And 

I have   slain the   Gorgon   in   the   wilderness�察  �and      bear   her   head   with   me。 

Give me food�察�therefore�察�that I may            go forward and finish my work。' 

     Then they gave him food�察�and fruit�察�and wine�察�but they would                     not let 

him  go。     And   when   the   news   came   into   the   city  that    the   Gorgon   was 

slain�察�the priests came out to meet him�察�and              the maidens�察�with songs and 

dances�察  �and   timbrels   and   harps�察     �and   they   would   have   brought   him   to 

their temple and to their        king�察�but Perseus put on the hat of darkness�察�and 

vanished      away out of their sight。

     Therefore the Egyptians looked long for his return�察�but in                 vain�察�and 

worshipped him as a hero�察�and made a statue of him                  in Chemmis�察�which 

stood for many a hundred years�察�and they               said that he appeared to them 

at times�察�with sandals a cubit          long�察�and that whenever he appeared the 

season was fruitful�察      �and the Nile rose high that year。 

     Then   Perseus   went   to   the   eastward�察  �along   the   Red   Sea   shore�察  �and 

then�察  �because   he   was   afraid   to   go   into   the   Arabian deserts�察  �he   turned 

northward once more�察�and this time no             storm hindered him。 

     He went past the Isthmus�察�and Mount Casius�察�and the vast                  Serbonian 

bog�察�and up the shore of Palestine�察�where the dark´ faced AEthiops dwelt。 

     He    flew   on   past  pleasant    hills  and   valleys�察  �like  Argos     itself�察 �or 

Lacedaemon�察  �or   the   fair   Vale   of   Tempe。      But   the    lowlands   were   all 

drowned      by   floods�察  �and   the  highlands      blasted    by   fire�察 �and  the   hills 

heaved like a babbling         cauldron�察�before the wrath of King Poseidon�察�the 

shaker of      the earth。 

     And Perseus feared to go inland�察�but flew along the shore                  above the 

sea�察�and he went on all the day�察�and the sky was                black with smoke�察�and 

he went on all the night�察�and the sky          was red with flame。 

     And   at   the   dawn   of   day   he   looked   toward    the   cliffs�察  �and   at the 

water's edge�察�under a black rock�察�he saw a white image                stand。 

     'This��' thought he�察�'must surely be the statue of some sea´ God�察�I will 

go near and see what kind of Gods these              barbarians worship。' 

     So he came near�察�but when he came�察�it was no statue�察�but a                    maiden 

of flesh and blood�察�for he could see her tresses              streaming in the breeze�察�

and as he   came   closer   still�察  �he   could see how   she shrank   and shivered 

when   the   waves      sprinkled     her   with  cold   salt   spray。  Her   arms     were
