were fringed with        clustering shells and sea´weeds�察�and the water gurgled 

in and     out of his wide jaws�察�as he rolled along�察�dripping and               glistening 

in the beams of the morning sun。 

     At last he saw Andromeda�察�and shot forward to take his prey�察                   �while 

the    waves    foamed     white   behind    him�察  �and    before   him   the    fish   fled 

leaping。 

     Then down from the height of the air fell Perseus like a              shooting star�察�

down   to   the   crests   of   the   waves�察  �while Andromeda   hid   her   face   as   he 

shouted�察�and then there was          silence for a while。 

     At last she looked up trembling�察�and saw Perseus springing                    toward 

her�察�and instead of the monster a long black rock�察               �with the sea rippling 

quietly round it。 

     Who then so proud as Perseus�察�as he leapt back to the rock�察               �and lifted 

his fair Andromeda in his arms�察�and flew with her                  to the cliff´top�察�as a 

falcon carries a dove�拭�

     Who     so   proud   as   Perseus�察  �and   who    so  joyful   as  all  the  AEthiop 

people�拭     �For    they   had   stood   watching     the   monster    from    the   cliffs�察�

wailing   for   the   maiden's   fate。   And   already   a    messenger   had   gone   to 

Cepheus and Cassiopoeia�察�where they sat                in sackcloth and ashes on the 

ground�察�in the innermost palace           chambers�察�awaiting their daughter's end。 

And they came�察�and          all the city with them�察�to see the wonder�察�with songs 

and     with dances�察�with cymbals and harps�察�and received their                  daughter 

back again�察�as one alive from the dead。 

     Then Cepheus said�察�'Hero of the Hellens�察�stay here with me                    and be 

my son´in´law�察�and I will give you the half of my              kingdom。' 

     'I will be your son´in´law��' said Perseus�察�'but of your             kingdom I will 

have none�察�for I long after the pleasant land              of Greece�察�and my mother

who waits for me at home。' 

     Then Cepheus said�察�'You must not take my daughter away at                       once�察�

for she is to us like one alive from the dead。             Stay    with us here a year�察�

and   after   that   you   shall   return   with honour。'     And   Perseus   consented�察�

but   before   he   went   to   the palace   he   bade   the   people   bring   stones   and 

wood�察�and built        three altars�察�one to Athene�察�and one to Hermes�察�and one 

to   Father Zeus�察�and offered bullocks and rams。 

     And some said�察�'This is a pious man��' yet the priests said�察                �'The Sea 

Queen will be yet more fierce against us�察�because                 her monster is slain。' 

But they were afraid to speak aloud�察            �for they feared the Gorgon's head。 

So they went up to the         palace�察�and when they came in�察�there stood in the 

hall    Phineus�察�the brother of Cepheus�察�chafing like a bear robbed                 of her 

whelps�察  �and   with   him   his   sons�察  �and   his   servants�察  �and  many   an   armed 

man�察�and he cried to Cepheus ´ 

     'You shall not marry your daughter to this stranger�察�of whom                  no one 

knows      even   the   name。    Was     not   Andromeda       betrothed    to   my    son�拭�

And now she is safe again�察�has he not a right to             claim her��' 

     But Perseus laughed�察�and answered�察�'If your son is in want of                 a bride�察�

let   him   save   a   maiden   for   himself。   As   yet   he   seems    but   a   helpless 

bride´groom。       He left this one to die�察�and         dead she is to him。        I saved 

her alive�察�and alive she is to         me�察�but to no one else。         Ungrateful man� �

have I not saved       your land�察�and the lives of your sons and daughters�察�and 

will    you requite me thus�拭        �Go�察�or it will be worse for you。'           But     all 

the men´at´arms drew their swords�察�and rushed on him like                  wild beasts。 

     Then   he   unveiled   the   Gorgon's   head�察  �and   said�察  �'This   has  delivered 

my bride from one wild beast�此          �it shall deliver her      from many。'      And as 

he   spoke   Phineus   and   all   his   men´at´arms     stopped   short�察  �and   stiffened 

each man as he stood�察�and before             Perseus had drawn the goat´skin over 

the face again�察�they       were all turned into stone。 

     Then   Persons   bade   the   people   bring   levers   and   roll   them   out�察 �and 

what was done with them after that I cannot tell。 

     So they made a great wedding´feast�察�which lasted seven whole                     days�察�

and who so happy as Perseus and Andromeda�拭�

     But    on   the  eighth    night   Perseus    dreamed      a  dream�察   �and   he   saw

standing beside him Pallas Athene�察�as he had seen her in                 Seriphos�察�seven 

long years before�察�and she stood and called             him by name�察�and said ´ 

     'Perseus�察�you have played the man�察�and see�察�you have your                     reward。 

Know   now   that   the   Gods   are   just�察  �and   help   him   who     helps   himself。 

Now   give   me   here   Herpe   the   sword�察  �and   the     sandals�察  �and   the   hat   of 

darkness�察 �that   I   may  give them  back        to   their owners�察  �but the   Gorgon's 

head you shall keep a         while�察�for you will need it in your land of Greece。 

Then   you     shall   lay   it   up   in   my   temple   at   Seriphos�察  �that   I   may  wear   it 

on   my  shield   for   ever�察 �a   terror to the Titans   and the     monsters�察 �and   the 

foes of Gods and men。           And as for this        land�察�I have appeased the sea 

and the fire�察�and there shall        be no more floods nor earthquakes。             But let 

the   people    build    altars   to  Father   Zeus�察   �and   to  me�察  �and   worship    the 

Immortals�察      �the Lords of heaven and earth。' 

     And Perseus rose to give her the sword�察�and the cap�察�and the                 sandals�察�

but    he  woke�察    �and   his  dream    vanished     away。     And     yet   it  was    not 

altogether a dream�察�for the goat´skin with the              head was in its place�察�but 

the   sword�察  �and   the   cap�察  �and   the sandals   were   gone�察  �and   Perseus   never 

saw them more。 

     Then a great awe fell on Perseus�察�and he went out in the                 morning to 

the people�察�and told his dream�察�and bade them                 build altars to Zeus�察�the 

Father of Gods and men�察�and to              Athene�察�who gives wisdom to heroes�察�

and fear no more the          earthquakes and the floods�察�but sow and build in 

peace。     And     they  did   so   for   a   while�察  �and   prosper
