their valleys to the yellow sands of Pagasai。            And     first came Heracles 

the   mighty�察  �with   his   lion's   skin   and club�察  �and   behind   him   Hylas   his 

young squire�察�who bore his          arrows and his bow�察�and Tiphys�察�the skilful 

steersman�察�and       Butes�察�the fairest of all men�察�and Castor and Polydeuces 

the    twins�察�the   sons   of   the   magic swan�察  �and   Caeneus�察  �the   strongest of 

mortals�察�whom the Centaurs tried in vain to kill�察�and             overwhelmed him 

with trunks of pine´trees�察�but even so he         would not die�察�and thither came

Zetes   and   Calais�察  �the   winged    sons   of   the   north   wind�察  �and   Peleus�察  �the 

father of Achilles�察      �whose bride was silver´footed Thetis�察�the goddess of 

the sea。      And thither came Telamon and Oileus�察�the fathers of the two 

Aiantes�察  �who   fought   upon   the   plains   of   Troy�察  �and   Mopsus�察  �the      wise 

soothsayer�察�who knew the speech of birds�察�and Idmon�察�to                  whom Phoebus 

gave a tongue to prophesy of things to come�察�and                  Ancaios�察�who could 

read the   stars�察  �and   knew   all   the   circles of   the heavens�察  �and Argus�察  �the 

famed shipbuilder�察�and many a             hero more�察�in helmets of brass and gold 

with tall dyed horse´ hair crests�察�and embroidered shirts of linen beneath 

their    coats of mail�察�and greaves of polished tin to guard their               knees in 

fight�察  �with   each   man   his   shield   upon   his   shoulder�察 �of   many   a   fold   of 

tough bull's hide�察�and his sword of          tempered bronze in his silver´studded 

belt�察�and in his right      hand a pair of lances�察�of the heavy white ash´staves。 

     So they came down to Iolcos�察�and all the city came out to                meet them�察�

and were never tired with looking at their height�察              �and their beauty�察�and 

their gallant bearing and the glitter        of their inlaid arms。      And some said�察�

'Never was such a         gathering of the heroes since the Hellens conquered 

the    land。'    But    the  women     sighed    over   them�察  �and   whispered�察    �'Alas� �

they are all going to their death��' 

     Then they felled the pines on Pelion�察�and shaped them with                   the axe�察�

and Argus taught them to build a galley�察�the first               long ship which ever 

sailed the seas。      They pierced her for        fifty oars ´ an oar for each hero of 

the crew ´ and pitched         her with coal´black pitch�察�and painted her bows 

with    vermilion�察�and they named her ARGO after Argus�察�and worked at 

her all day long。      And at night Pelias feasted them like a            king�察�and they 

slept in his palace´porch。 

     But Jason went away to the northward�察�and into the land of                   Thrace�察�

till he found Orpheus�察�the prince of minstrels�察�where              he dwelt in his cave 

under   Rhodope�察  �among   the   savage   Cicon         tribes。    And   he   asked   him�察�

'Will you leave your mountains�察          �Orpheus�察�my fellow´scholar in old times�察�

and   cross   Strymon      once   more   with   me�察  �to   sail   with   the   heroes   of   the 

Minuai�察�and       bring home the golden fleece�察�and charm for us all men and 

all monsters with your magic harp and song��' 

     Then Orpheus sighed�察�'Have I not had enough of toil and of                     weary

wandering�察�far and wide since I lived in Cheiron's                 cave�察�above Iolcos by 

the   sea�拭   �In   vain   is   the   skill   and   the voice   which   my   goddess   mother 

gave me�察�in vain have I sung             and laboured�察�in vain I went down to the 

dead�察  �and   charmed       all   the   kings   of   Hades�察  �to   win   back   Eurydice   my 

bride。    For I     won her�察�my beloved�察�and lost her again the same day�察�and 

wandered away in my madness�察�even to Egypt and the Libyan                        sands�察�and 

the isles of all the seas�察�driven on by the           terrible gadfly�察�while I charmed 

in vain the hearts of men�察        �and the savage forest beasts�察�and the trees�察�and 

the lifeless     stones�察�with my magic harp and song�察�giving rest�察�but finding 

none。     But   at   last   Calliope   my   mother   delivered   me�察  �and     brought   me 

home   in   peace�察  �and   I   dwell   here   in   the   cave   alone�察�among   the   savage 

Cicon tribes�察�softening their wild hearts             with music and the gentle laws 

of Zeus。      And now I must go           out again�察�to the ends of all the earth�察�far 

away into the        misty darkness�察�to the last wave of the Eastern Sea。                 But 

what is doomed must be�察�and a friend's demand obeyed�察�for                       prayers are 

the daughters of Zeus�察�and who honours them                  honours him。' 

     Then   Orpheus   rose   up   sighing�察  �and   took   his   harp�察  �and   went       over 

Strymon。        And     he   led   Jason    to  the   south´west�察     �up   the    banks     of 

Haliacmon and over the spurs of Pindus�察�to Dodona                      the town of Zeus�察�

where   it   stood   by   the   side   of   the   sacred lake�察  �and   the   fountain   which 

breathed   out   fire�察  �in   the darkness   of   the   ancient   oakwood�察  �beneath   the 

mountain   of   the     hundred   springs。        And   he   led   him   to   the   holy   oak�察�

where   the     black   dove   settled   in   old   times�察  �and   was   changed   into   the 

priestess of Zeus�察�and gave oracles to all nations round。                     And he bade 

him cut down a bough�察�and sacrifice to Hera and                   to Zeus�察�and they took 

the bough and came to Iolcos�察�and             nailed it to the beak´head of the ship。 

     And at last the ship was finished�察�and they tried to launch                  her down 

the   beach�察  �but   she   was   too   heavy   for   them   to   move   her�察  �and   her   keel 

sank     deep   into   the  sand。    Then     all  the   heroes     looked    at  each   other 

blushing�察    �but   Jason    spoke�察   �and    said�察   �'Let  us   ask   the  magic     bough�察�

perhaps it can help us in         our need。' 

     Then a voice came from the bough�察�and Jason heard the words                       it said�察�

and   bade   Orpheus   play   upon   the   harp�察  �while   the     heroes   waited   round�察�

holding the pine´trunk rollers�察�to help           her toward the sea。

     Then Orpheus took his harp�察�and began his magic song ´ 'How                    sweet 

it is to ride upon the surges�察�and to leap from wave to                wave�察�while the
