peace。     And     they  did   so   for   a   while�察  �and   prospered�察  �but   after   Perseus 

was     gone they forgot Zeus and Athene�察�and worshipped again                   Atergatis 

the   queen�察  �and   the   undying   fish   of   the   sacred   lake�察�where   Deucalion's 

deluge was swallowed up�察�and they burnt                 their children before the Fire 

King�察�till Zeus was angry with           that foolish people�察�and brought a strange 

nation against       them out of Egypt�察�who fought against them and wasted 

them     utterly�察�and dwelt in their cities for many a hundred years。 



     PART V ´ HOW PERSEUS CAME HOME AGAIN 



       AND when a year was ended Perseus hired Phoenicians from                       Tyre�察�

and   cut   down   cedars�察  �and   built   himself   a  noble   galley�察 �and   painted   its 

cheeks with vermilion�察�and pitched its sides              with pitch�察�and in it he put

Andromeda�察  �and   all   her   dowry   of      jewels�察  �and   rich   shawls�察  �and   spices 

from the East�察�and great          was the weeping when they rowed away。                 But 

the   remembrance   of       his   brave   deed   was   left   behind�察  �and Andromeda's 

rock   was     shown   at   Iopa   in   Palestine   till   more   than   a   thousand   years 

were past。 

     So   Perseus   and   the   Phoenicians   rowed   to   the   westward�察  �across      the 

sea of Crete�察�till they came to the blue AEgean and the                  pleasant Isles of 

Hellas�察�and Seriphos�察�his ancient home。 

     Then he left his galley on the beach�察�and went up as of old�察                  �and he 

embraced   his   mother�察  �and   Dictys   his   good   foster´   father�察  �and   they   wept 

over each other a long while�察�for it           was seven years and more since they 

had met。 

     Then     Perseus     went    out�察 �and    up   to  the   hall   of  Polydectes�察    �and 

underneath the goat´skin he bore the Gorgon's head。 

     And when he came into the hall�察�Polydectes sat at the table´ head�察�and 

all his nobles and landowners on either side�察�each                according to his rank�察�

feasting on the fish and the goat's          flesh�察�and drinking the blood´red wine。 

The   harpers   harped�察     �and   the   revellers   shouted�察  �and   the   wine´cups   rang 

merrily as      they passed from hand to hand�察�and great was the noise in the 

hall of Polydectes。 

     Then   Persons   stood   upon   the   threshold�察  �and   called   to   the   king    by 

name。      But none of the guests knew Perseus�察�for he was                changed by his 

long journey。       He had gone out a boy�察�and he             was come home a hero�察�

his eye shone like an eagle's�察�and his            beard was like a lion's beard�察�and 

he stood up like a wild        bull in his pride。 

     But   Polydectes   the   wicked   knew   him�察  �and   hardened   his   heart       still 

more�察�and scornfully he called ´ 

     'Ah�察  �foundling�   �have   you   found   it   more   easy   to   promise   than      to 

fulfil��' 

     'Those   whom   the   Gods   help   fulfil   their   promises�察  �and   those       who 

despise them�察�reap as they have sown。             Behold the       Gorgon's head��' 

     Then   Perseus   drew  back   the   goat´skin�察  �and   held   aloft   the    Gorgon's 

head。 

     Pale    grew    Polydectes      and   his   guests    as  they    looked    upon    that

dreadful face。      They  tried to rise   up from their seats�此       �but    from  their 

seats they never rose�察�but stiffened�察�each man            where he sat�察�into a ring of 

cold gray stones。 

     Then Perseus turned and left them�察�and went down to his                   galley in 

the bay�察�and he gave the kingdom to good Dictys�察               �and sailed away with 

his mother and his bride。 

     And   Polydectes   and   his   guests   sat   still�察  �with   the   wine´cups before 

them on the board�察�till the rafters crumbled down              above their heads�察�and 

the walls behind their backs�察�and the          table crumbled down between them�察�

and the grass sprung up         about their feet�此    �but Polydectes and his guests 

sit on the    hillside�察�a ring of gray stones until this day。 

     But Perseus rowed westward toward Argos�察�and landed�察�and went                     up 

to the town。     And when he came�察�he found that Acrisius his               grandfather 

had   fled。   For   Proetus   his   wicked   brother   had    made   war   against   him 

afresh�察�and had come across the river           from Tiryns�察�and conquered Argos�察�

and Acrisius had fled to       Larissa�察�in the country of the wild Pelasgi。 

     Then Perseus called the Argives together�察�and told them who                 he was�察�

and all the noble deeds which he had done。              And all     the nobles and the 

yeomen made him king�察�for they saw that he               had a royal heart�察�and they 

fought with him against Argos�察         �and took it�察�and killed Proetus�察�and made 

the   Cyclopes   serve     them�察  �and   build   them   walls   round   Argos�察  �like   the 

walls which       they had built at Tiryns�察�and there were great rejoicings in 

the vale of Argos�察�because they had got a king from Father               Zeus。 

     But Perseus' heart yearned after his grandfather�察�and he              said�察�'Surely 

he is my flesh and blood�察�and he will love me             now that I am come home 

with honour�此      �I will go and find him�察      �and bring him home�察�and we will 

reign together in peace。' 

     So    Perseus   sailed   away    with   his  Phoenicians�察    �round    Hydrea     and 

Sunium�察�past Marathon and the Attic shore�察�and through                 Euripus�察�and up 

the long Euboean sea�察�till he came to the           town of Larissa�察�where the wild 

Pelasgi dwelt。 

     And when he came there�察�all the people were in the fields�察               �and there 

was feasting�察�and all kinds of games�察�for            Teutamenes their king wished 

to honour Acrisius�察�because he          was the king of a mighty land。

     So Perseus did not tell his name�察�but went up to the games                  unknown�察�

for   he   said�察  �'If   I   carry   away   the   prize   in   the games�察  �my   grandfather's 

heart will be softened toward me。' 

     So he threw off his helmet�察�and his cuirass�察�and all his                 clothes�察�and 

stood among the youths of Larissa�察�while all               wondered at him�察�and said�察�

'Who   is   this   young   stranger�察  �who    stands   like   a   wild   bull   in   his   pride�拭�

Surely     he   is  one   of    the
