     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。

                                           The Heroes 



     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   heroes�察   �the   sons   of   the   Immortals�察    �from 

Olympus。' 

     And   when   the   games   began�察  �they   wondered   yet   more�察  �for   Perseus 

was    the   best  man    of  all  at  running�察   �and   leaping�察   �and   wrestling     and 

throwing the javelin�察�and he won four crowns�察                �and took them�察�and then 

he said to himself�察�'There is a fifth        crown yet to be won�此         �I will win that�察�

and lay them all upon         the knees of my grandfather。' 

     And     as   he   spoke�察   �he   saw    where    Acrisius     sat�察 �by   the   side   of 

Teutamenes the king�察�with his white beard flowing down upon                      his knees�察�

and his royal staff in his hand�察�and Perseus wept               when he looked at him�察�

for his heart yearned after his kin�察         �and he said�察�'Surely he is a kingly old 

man�察�yet he need not         be ashamed of his grandson。' 

     Then he   took the   quoits�察 �and hurled   them�察 �five   fathoms   beyond            all 

the rest�察�and the people shouted�察�'Further yet�察�brave              stranger�     �There has 

never been such a hurler in this land。' 

     Then   Perseus   put   out   all   his   strength�察  �and   hurled。  But   a    gust   of 

wind came from the sea�察�and carried the quoit aside�察                 �and far beyond all 

the rest�察�and it fell on the foot of          Acrisius�察�and he swooned away with 

the pain。 

     Perseus   shrieked�察  �and   ran   up   to   him�察  �but   when   they   lifted   the old 

man up he was dead�察�for his life was slow and feeble。 

     Then Perseus rent his clothes�察�and cast dust upon his head�察                �and wept 

a long while for his grandfather。            At last he rose�察     �and called to all the 

people aloud�察�and said ´ 

     'The   Gods   are   true�察  �and   what   they   have   ordained   must   be。    I   am 

Perseus�察  �the    grandson     of  this   dead   man�察  �the   far´famed     slayer    of  the 

Gorgon。' 

     Then he told them how the prophecy had declared that he                    should kill

his grandfather�察�and all the story of his life。 

     So they made a great mourning for Acrisius�察�and burnt him on                a right 

rich pile�察�and Perseus went to the temple�察�and was            purified from the guilt 

of the death�察�because he had done it         unknowingly。 

     Then    he   went    home    to  Argos�察   �and   reigned   there   well   with   fair 

Andromeda�察�and they had four sons and three daughters�察�and                    died in a 

good old age。 

    And when they died�察�the ancients say�察�Athene took them up                   into the 

sky�察�with Cepheus and Cassiopoeia。             And there on       starlight nights you 

may     see   them    shining   still�察 �Cepheus     with    his   kingly   crown�察    �and 

Cassiopoeia   in   her   ivory   chair�察  �plaiting   her   star´spangled   tresses�察  �and 

Perseus     with   the   Gorgon's      head�察  �and   fair  Andromeda       beside    him�察�

spreading   her     long   white   arms   across   the   heaven�察  �as   she   stood   when 

chained     to the stone for the monster。 

    All night long�察�they shine�察�for a beacon to wandering               sailors�察�but all 

day they feast with the Gods�察�on the still         blue peaks of Olympus。

      PART I ´ HOW THE CENTAUR TRAINED THE 



                        HEROES ON PELION 



    I   HAVE   told   you   of   a   hero   who   fought   with   wild   beasts   and with 

wild men�察�but now I have a tale of heroes who sailed           away into a distant 

land�察�to win themselves renown for ever�察         �in the adventure of the Golden 

Fleece。 

    Whither     they   sailed�察 �my   children�察  �I  cannot   clearly  tell。  It   all 

happened long ago�察�so long that it has all grown dim�察         �like a dream which 

you dreamt last year。      And why they went I        cannot tell�此  �some say that 

it was to win gold。     It may be    so�察�but the noblest deeds which have been 

done on earth have       not been done for gold。       It was not for the sake of 

gold   that  the   Lord   came   down   and   died�察  �and   the Apostles   went   out   to 

preach the good news in all lands。         The Spartans looked for       no reward 

in money when they fought and died at Thermopylae�察               �and Socrates the 

wise asked no pay from his countrymen�察�but            lived poor and barefoot all 

his days�察�only caring to make men          good。     And there are heroes in our 

days also�察�who do noble         deeds�察�but not for gold。      Our discoverers did 

not go to make       themselves rich when they sailed out one after another 

into   the dreary frozen seas�察�nor did the ladies who went out last          year to 

drudge   in   the   hospitals   of   the   East�察  �making themselves   poor�察  �that   they 

might be rich in noble works。        And     young men�察�too�察�whom you know�察�

children�察�and some of them of        your own kin�察�did they say to themselves�察�

'How much money          shall I earn��' when they went out to the war�察�leaving 

wealth�察   �and comfort�察�and a pleasant home�察�and all that money can            give�察�

to face hunger and thirst�察�and wounds and death�察�that          they might fight for 

their country and their Queen�拭       �No�察   �children�察�there is a better thing on 

earth than wealth�察�a     better thing than life itself�察�and that is�察�to have done
