Then they rowed away�察�the songs say�察�along the Mysian shore�察 �and
past the mouth of Rhindacus�察�till they found a pleasant bay�察�sheltered by
the long ridges of Arganthus�察 �and by high walls of basalt rock。 And
there they ran the ship ashore upon the yellow sand�察�and furled the sail�察�
and took the mast down�察�and lashed it in its crutch。 And next they let
down the ladder�察�and went ashore to sport and rest。

The Heroes
And there Heracles went away into the woods�察�bow in hand�察�to hunt
wild deer�察�and Hylas the fair boy slipt away after him�察 �and followed him
by stealth�察�until he lost himself among the glens�察�and sat down weary to
rest himself by the side of a lake�察�and there the water nymphs came up to
look at him�察�and loved him�察�and carried him down under the lake to be
their playfellow�察�for ever happy and young。 And Heracles sought for
him in vain�察 �shouting his name till all the mountains rang�察 �but Hylas
never heard him�察�far down under the sparkling lake。 So while Heracles
wandered searching for him�察�a fair breeze sprang up�察�and Heracles was
nowhere to be found�察�and the ARGO sailed away�察�and Heracles was left
behind�察�and never saw the noble Phasian stream。
Then the Minuai came to a doleful land�察 �where Amycus the giant
ruled�察 �and cared nothing for the laws of Zeus�察 �but challenged all
strangers to box with him�察�and those whom he conquered he slew。 But
Polydeuces the boxer struck him a harder blow than he ever felt before�察�
and slew him�察�and the Minuai went on up the Bosphorus�察�till they came
to the city of Phineus�察 �the fierce Bithynian king�察 �for Zetes and Calais
bade Jason land there�察�because they had a work to do。
And they went up from the shore toward the city�察 �through forests
white with snow�察 �and Phineus came out to meet them with a lean and
woful face�察 �and said�察 �'Welcome�察 �gallant heroes�察 �to the land of bitter
blasts�察 �the land of cold and misery�察 �yet I will feast you as best I can。'
And he led them in�察�and set meat before them�察�but before they could put
their hands to their mouths�察�down came two fearful monsters�察�the like
of whom man never saw�察 �for they had the faces and the hair of fair
maidens�察�but the wings and claws of hawks�察�and they snatched the meat
from off the table�察�and flew shrieking out above the roofs。
Then Phineus beat his breast and cried�察 �'These are the Harpies�察�
whose names are the Whirlwind and the Swift�察�the daughters of Wonder
and of the Amber´nymph�察�and they rob us night and day。 They carried
off the daughters of Pandareus�察 �whom all the Gods had blest�察 �for
Aphrodite fed them on Olympus with honey and milk and wine�察 �and
Hera gave them beauty and wisdom�察�and Athene skill in all the arts�察�but
when they came to their wedding�察 �the Harpies snatched them both

away�察�and gave them to be slaves to the Erinnues�察�and live in horror all
their days。 And now they haunt me�察�and my people�察 �and the Bosphorus�察�
with fearful storms�察 �and sweep away our food from off our tables�察 �so
that we starve in spite of all our wealth。'
Then up rose Zetes and Calais�察 �the winged sons of the North´ wind�察�
and said�察 �'Do you not know us�察 �Phineus�察 �and these wings which grow
upon our backs��' And Phineus hid his face in terror�察�but he answered
not a word。
'Because you have been a traitor�察 �Phineus�察 �the Harpies haunt you
night and day。 Where is Cleopatra our sister�察 �your wife�察 �whom you
keep in prison�拭 �and where are her two children�察 �whom you blinded in
your rage�察�at the bidding of an evil woman�察 �and cast them out upon the
rocks�拭 �Swear to us that you will right our sister�察 �and cast out that
wicked woman�察�and then we will free you from your plague�察�and drive
the whirlwind maidens to the south�察�but if not�察�we will put out your eyes�察�
as you put out the eyes of your own sons。'
Then Phineus swore an oath to them�察 �and drove out the wicked
woman�察 �and Jason took those two poor children�察 �and cured their eyes
with magic herbs。
But Zetes and Calais rose up sadly and said�察�'Farewell now�察 �heroes
all�察�farewell�察�our dear companions�察�with whom we played on Pelion in
old times�察�for a fate is laid upon us�察 �and our day is come at last�察�in which
we must hunt the whirlwinds over land and sea for ever�察�and if we catch
them they die�察�and if not�察�we die ourselves。'
At that all the heroes wept�察�but the two young men sprang up�察 �and
aloft into the air after the Harpies�察�and the battle of the winds began。
The heroes trembled in silence as they heard the shrieking of the
blasts�察 �while the palace rocked and all the city�察 �and great stones were
torn from the crags�察 �and the forest pines were hurled earthward�察 �north
and south and east and west�察�and the Bosphorus boiled white with foam�察�
and the clouds were dashed against the cliffs。
But at last the battle ended�察�and the Harpies fled screaming toward
the south�察�and the sons of the North´wind rushed after them�察�and brought
clear sunshine where they passed。 For many a league they followed

them�察 �over all the isles of the Cyclades�察 �and away to the south´west
across Hellas�察�till they came to the Ionian Sea�察�and there they fell upon
the Echinades�察 �at the mouth of the Achelous�察 �and those isles were
called the Whirlwind Isles for many a hundred years。 But what became
of Zetes and
