cunning�察     �upon     the   pleasant    downs     of   Pelion�察  �in   the  keen    hungry 

mountain       air。   And   he   learnt   to   wrestle�察  �and   to   box�察  �and   to   hunt�察  �and 

to play upon the harp�察�and next he learnt to ride�察�for old              Cheiron used to 

mount him on his back�察�and he learnt the              virtues of all herbs and how to 

cure all wounds�察�and Cheiron            called him Jason the healer�察�and that is his 

name until this      day。 



       PART II ´ HOW JASON LOST HIS SANDAL IN 



                                    ANAUROS 



       AND ten years came and went�察�and Jason was grown to be a                    mighty 

man。     Some   of   his   fellows   were   gone�察 �and   some   were     growing   up   by 

his side。     Asclepius was gone into Peloponnese               to work his wondrous 

cures   on   men�察  �and   some   say   he   used   to  raise   the   dead   to   life。 And 

Heracles was gone to Thebes to             fulfil those famous labours which have 

become a proverb among             men。     And Peleus had married a sea´nymph�察�

and his wedding is        famous to this day。       And AEneas was gone home to 

Troy�察�and      many a noble tale you will read of him�察�and of all the other 

gallant heroes�察�the scholars of Cheiron the just。             And it     happened on a 

day that Jason stood on the mountain�察�and               looked north and south   and 

east and west�察�and Cheiron stood            by him and watched him�察�for he knew 

that the time was come。 

     And Jason looked and saw the plains of Thessaly�察�where the                  Lapithai 

breed   their   horses�察  �and   the   lake   of   Boibe�察  �and   the stream   which   runs 

northward      to  Peneus    and   Tempe�察    �and   he  looked     north�察  �and   saw   the 

mountain wall which guards the             Magnesian shore�察�Olympus�察�the seat of 

the   Immortals�察  �and     Ossa�察  �and   Pelion�察  �where   he   stood。   Then   he   looked 

east and saw       the bright blue sea�察�which stretched away for ever toward 

the    dawn。      Then     he   looked    south�察  �and   saw    a  pleasant    land�察 �with 

white´walled towns and farms�察�nestling along the shore of a                  land´locked 

bay�察�while the smoke rose blue among the trees�察               �and he knew it for the 

bay  of   Pagasai�察  �and   the   rich   lowlands   of   Haemonia�察  �and   Iolcos   by   the 

sea。 

     Then he sighed�察�and asked�察�'Is it true what the heroes tell              me ´ that I 

am heir of that fair land��' 

     'And what good would it be to you�察�Jason�察�if you were heir of                    that 

fair land��' 

     'I would take it and keep it。' 

     'A strong man has taken it and kept it long。             Are you      stronger than 

Pelias the terrible��' 

     'I can try my strength with his��' said Jason�察�but Cheiron               sighed�察�and 

said ´ 

     'You have many a danger to go through before you rule in                   Iolcos by 

the   sea�此  �many      a  danger   and   many     a  woe�察  �and   strange    troubles     in 

strange lands�察�such as man never saw before。' 

     'The happier I��' said Jason�察�'to see what man never saw              before。' 

     And Cheiron sighed again�察�and said�察�'The eaglet must leave                  the nest 

when it is fledged。        Will you go to Iolcos by the          sea�拭    �Then promise 

me two things before you go。' 

     Jason   promised�察  �and   Cheiron   answered�察  �'Speak   harshly   to   no       soul 



                                               46

whom you may meet�察�and stand by the word which you shall                     speak。' 

     Jason wondered why Cheiron asked this of him�察�but he knew                    that the 

Centaur was a prophet�察�and saw things long before                  they came。       So he 

promised�察�and leapt down the mountain�察�to              take his fortune like a man。 

     He went down through the arbutus thickets�察�and across the                  downs of 

thyme�察�till he came to the vineyard walls�察�and the              pomegranates and the 

olives   in   the   glen�察  �and   among   the   olives  roared   Anauros�察  �all   foaming 

with a summer flood。 

     And on the bank of Anauros sat a woman�察�all wrinkled�察�gray�察                 �and old�察�

her head shook palsied on her breast�察�and her hands               shook palsied on her 

knees�察�and when she saw Jason�察�she spoke                whining�察�'Who will carry me 

across the flood��' 

     Jason was bold and hasty�察�and was just going to leap into the                  flood�此�

and yet he thought twice before he leapt�察�so loud             roared the torrent down�察�

all brown from the mountain rains�察           �and silver´veined with melting snow�察�

while underneath he         could hear the boulders rumbling like the tramp of 

horsemen       or    the  roll  of   wheels�察   �as  they   ground     along   the   narrow 

channel�察�and shook the rocks on which he stood。 

     But   the   old   woman   whined   all   the   more�察  �'I   am   weak   and   old�察�fair 

youth。     For Hera's sake�察�carry me over the torrent。' 

     And     Jason   was    going    to  answer     her  scornfully�察   �when     Cheiron's 

words came to his mind。 

     So he said�察�'For Hera's sake�察�the Queen of the Immortals on                Olympus�察�

I will carry you over the torrent�察�unless we both            are drowned midway。' 

     Then   the   old   dame   leapt   upon   his   back�察  �as   nimbly   as   a   goat�察�and 

Jason staggered in�察�wondering�察�and the first step was up               to his knees。 

     The first step was up to his knees�察�and the second step was                 up to his 

waist�察�and the stones rolled about his feet�察�and            his feet slipped about the 

stones�察  �so   he   went   on   staggering�察   �and   panting�察  �while   the   old   woman 

cried from off his back ´ 

     'Fool�察  �you   have   wet   my   mantle�     �Do   you   make   game   of   poor   old 

souls like me��' 

     Jason had half a mind to drop her�察�and let her get through                the torrent 

by   herself�察  �but   Cheiron's   words   were   in   his   mind�察   �and   he   said   only�察�

'Patience�察�mother�察�the best horse may          stumble some day。' 

     At last he staggered to the shore�察�and set her down upon the                bank�察�

and a strong man he needed to have been�察�or that wild                 water he never 

would have crossed。 

     He lay panting awhile upon the bank�察�and then leapt up to go                 upon 

his journey�察�but he cast one look at the old woman�察�for              he thought�察�'She 

should thank me once at least。' 

     And as he looked�察�she grew fairer than all women�察�and taller              than all 

men   on   earth�察  �and   her   garments   shone   like   the   summer   sea�察  �and   her 

jewels like the stars of heaven�察�and over her           forehead was a veil woven 

of the golden clouds of sunset�察�and          through the veil she looked down on 

him�察�with great soft      heifer's eyes�察�with great eyes�察�mild and awful�察�which 

filled   all the glen with light。 

     And Jason fell upon his knees�察�and hid his face between his             hands。 

     And she spoke�察�'I am the Queen of Olympus�察�Hera the wife of                 Zeus。 

As thou hast done to me�察�so will I do to thee。          Call    on me in the hour of 

need�察�and try if the Immortals can         forget。' 

     And when Jason looked up�察�she rose from off the earth�察�like a                pillar 

of tall white cloud�察�and floated away across the            mountain peaks�察�toward
