brought me�察�the silver´footed lady of the sea�察             �whom I caught in the cave�察�

and   tamed   her�察  �though   she   changed        her   shape   seven   times。     For   she 

changed�察�as I held her�察�into          water�察�and to vapour�察�and to burning flame�察�

and to a rock�察      �and to a black´maned lion�察�and to a tall and stately tree。 

But I held her and held her ever�察�till she took her own shape                    again�察�and 

led   her   to   my   father's   house�察  �and   won   her   for   my bride。    And   all   the

rulers of Olympus came to our wedding�察                �and the heavens and the earth 

rejoiced together�察�when an          Immortal wedded mortal man。              And now let 

me see my son�察�for         it is not often I shall see him upon earth�此         �famous he 

will    be�察�but short´lived�察�and die in the flower of youth。' 

     So Tiphys the helmsman steered them to the shore under the                    crags of 

Pelion�察   �and    they  went    up   through    the   dark   pine´   forests   towards    the 

Centaur's cave。 

     And they came into the misty hall�察�beneath the snow´crowned                       crag�察�

and   saw   the   great   Centaur   lying�察  �with   his   huge   limbs  spread   upon   the 

rock�察  �and   beside   him   stood   Achilles�察  �the     child   whom   no   steel   could 

wound�察�and played upon his harp               right sweetly�察�while Cheiron watched 

and smiled。 

     Then Cheiron leapt up and welcomed them�察�and kissed them                         every 

one�察�and set a feast before them of swine's flesh�察�and                venison�察�and good 

wine�察  �and   young   Achilles   served   them�察  �and       carried   the   golden   goblet 

round。     And after supper all the         heroes clapped their hands�察�and called 

on Orpheus   to   sing�察     �but he   refused�察 �and said�察 �'How  can   I�察 �who   am  the 

younger�察     �sing   before   our   ancient   host��'   So   they   called   on   Cheiron   to 

sing�察�and Achilles brought him his harp�察�and he began a                  wondrous song�察�

a   famous   story   of   old   time�察  �of   the   fight between   the   Centaurs   and   the 

Lapithai�察�which you may still           see carved in stone。 ��1��        He sang how his 

brothers came to        ruin by their folly�察�when they were mad with wine�察�and 

how     they and the heroes fought�察�with fists�察�and teeth�察�and the                  goblets 

from which they drank�察�and how they tore up the pine´ trees in their fury�察�

and hurled great crags of stone�察�while             the mountains thundered with the 

battle�察�and the land was        wasted far and wide�察�till the Lapithai drove them 

from   their    home   in   the   rich   Thessalian   plains   to   the   lonely   glens   of 

Pindus�察  �leaving   Cheiron   all   alone。      And   the   heroes   praised      his   song 

right heartily�察�for some of them had helped in that              great fight。 

     Then Orpheus took the lyre�察�and sang of Chaos�察�and the making                        of 

the wondrous World�察�and how all things sprang from Love�察                      �who could 

not live  alone  in   the Abyss。       And as he   sang�察 �his       voice  rose   from  the 

cave�察  �above   the   crags�察  �and   through   the   tree´tops�察  �and   the glens   of   oak 

and pine。      And the trees       bowed their heads when they heard it�察�and the

gray  rocks     cracked   and   rang�察 �and   the   forest   beasts   crept near to   listen�察�

and the birds forsook their nests and hovered round。                 And old      Cheiron 

claps his hands together�察�and beat his hoofs upon the               ground�察�for wonder 

at that magic song。 

     Then Peleus kissed his boy�察�and wept over him�察�and they went                    down 

to   the   ship�察  �and   Cheiron   came   down   with   them�察  �weeping�察     �and   kissed 

them one by one�察�and blest them�察�and promised to                   them great   renown。 

And   the   heroes   wept   when   they   left   him�察   �till   their   great   hearts   could 

weep   no   more�察  �for  he   was   kind   and   just   and   pious�察  �and   wiser   than   all 

beasts and men。        Then      he went up to a cliff�察�and prayed for them�察�that 

they might      come home safe and well�察�while the heroes rowed away�察�and 

watched   him   standing   on   his   cliff   above   the   sea�察  �with   his great   hands 

raised toward heaven�察�and his white locks waving                 in the wind�察�and they 

strained their eyes to watch him to the            last�察�for they felt that they should 

look on him no more。 

     So they rowed on over the long swell of the sea�察�past                 Olympus�察�the 

seat    of  the   Immortals�察     �and   past   the   wooded     bays     of   Athos�察    �and 

Samothrace        the   sacred    isle�察 �and   they    came    past     Lemnos       to  the 

Hellespont�察�and through the narrow strait of              Abydos�察�and so on into the 

Propontis�察    �which    we    call  Marmora      now。      And    there   they   met   with 

Cyzicus�察�ruling in Asia over         the Dolions�察�who�察�the songs say�察�was the son 

of AEneas�察�of       whom you will hear many a tale some day。                  For Homer 

tells   us  how   he   fought     at   Troy�察  �and  Virgil   how   he   sailed   away   and 

founded Rome�察�and men believed until late years that from him                       sprang 

our    old  British   kings。    Now      Cyzicus�察   �the  songs    say�察  �welcomed       the 

heroes�察    �for  his   father   had   been    one   of   Cheiron's     scholars�察    �so   he 

welcomed them�察�and feasted them�察 �and stored                 their ship with corn   and 

wine�察�and cloaks and rugs�察�the songs             say�察�and shirts�察�of which no doubt 

they stood in need。 

     But   at   night�察  �while   they   lay   sleeping�察  �came   down   on   them  terrible 

men�察�who lived with the bears in the mountains�察�like                 Titans or giants in 

shape�察�for each of them had six arms�察�and                they fought with young firs 

and   pines。    But   Heracles   killed     them   all   before   morn   with   his   deadly 

poisoned arrows�察�but         among them�察�in the darkness�察�he slew Cyzicus the

kindly     prince。 

     Then they got to their ship and to their oars�察�and Tiphys                bade them 

cast off the hawsers and go to sea。           But as he     spoke a whirlwind came�察�

and spun the ARGO round�察�and twisted                the hawsers together�察�so that no 

man could loose them。          Then     Tiphys dropped the rudder from his hand�察�

and cried�察�'This      comes from the Gods above。'            But Jason went forward�察�

and     asked counsel of the magic bough。 

     Then   the   magic   bough   spoke�察  �and   answered�察  �'This   is   because     you 

have slain Cyzicus your friend。          You must appease his          soul�察�or you will 

never leave this shore。' 

     Jason went back sadly�察�and told the heroes what he had heard。                    And 

they leapt on shore�察�and searched till dawn�察�and at dawn                 they found the 

body�察�all rolled in dust and blood�察�among the             corpses of those monstrous 

beasts。    And they wept over their          kind host�察�and laid him on a fair bed�察�

and heaped a huge         mound over him�察�and offered black sheep at his tomb�察�

and     Orpheus sang a magic song to him�察�that his spirit might have                  rest。 

And then they held games at the tomb�察�after the custom                   of those times�察�

and   Jason gave   prizes   to   each   winner
