of   Zetes   and   Calais   I   know   not�察  �for   the   heroes never   saw   them   again�此�

and   some   say   that   Heracles   met   them�察    �and   quarrelled   with   them�察  �and 

slew   them   with     his  arrows�察   �and    some     say   that  they   fell  down    from 

weariness and the heat of          the summer sun�察�and that the Sun´god buried 

them among   the        Cyclades�察�in   the pleasant Isle of Tenos�察�and   for   many 

hundred      years their grave was shown there�察�and over it a pillar�察               �which 

turned to every wind。         But those dark storms and           whirlwinds haunt the 

Bosphorus until this day。 

     But the Argonauts went eastward�察�and out into the open sea�察                    �which 

we   now   call   the   Black   Sea�察  �but   it   was   called   the   Euxine   then。    No 

Hellen had ever crossed it�察�and all feared that             dreadful sea�察�and its rocks�察�

and   shoals�察  �and   fogs�察  �and   bitter  freezing   storms�察  �and   they   told   strange 

stories of it�察�some       false and some half´true�察�how it stretched northward 

to    the    ends    of   the   earth�察  �and    the   sluggish    Putrid    Sea�察  �and    the 

everlasting night�察�and the regions of the dead。              So the     heroes trembled�察�

for all their courage�察�as they came into             that wild Black Sea�察�and saw it 

stretching out before them�察         �without a shore�察�as far as eye could see。 

     And first Orpheus spoke�察�and warned them�察�'We shall come now                         to 

the wandering blue rocks�察�my mother warned me of them�察                      �Calliope�察�the 

immortal muse。' 

     And soon they saw the blue rocks shining like spires and                    castles of 

gray  glass�察  �while   an   ice´cold   wind   blew   from  them      and   chilled   all   the 

heroes'   hearts。     And   as   they   neared   they    could   see   them   heaving�察  �as 

they rolled upon the long sea´ waves�察�crashing and grinding together�察�till 

the roar went up       to heaven。      The sea sprang up in spouts between them�察�

and     swept round them in white sheets of foam�察�but their heads                    swung 

nodding high in air�察�while the wind whistled shrill              among the crags。 

     The heroes' hearts sank within them�察�and they lay upon their                   oars in 

fear�察  �but   Orpheus   called   to   Tiphys   the   helmsman�察      �'Between   them   we 

must pass�察�so look ahead for an opening�察�and                be brave�察�for Hera is with

us。'   But Tiphys the cunning        helmsman stood silent�察�clenching his teeth�察�

till he saw a     heron come flying mast´high toward the rocks�察�and hover 

awhile before them�察�as if looking for a passage through。               Then he cried�察�

'Hera has sent us a pilot�察�let us follow the       cunning bird。' 

     Then the heron flapped to and fro a moment�察�till he saw a            hidden gap�察�

and into it he rushed like an arrow�察�while the         heroes watched what would 

befall。 

    And the blue rocks clashed together as the bird fled swiftly              through�察�

but they struck but a feather from his tail�察�and           then rebounded apart at 

the shock。 

     Then Tiphys cheered the heroes�察�and they shouted�察�and the               oars bent 

like withes beneath their strokes as they rushed            between those toppling 

ice´crags and the cold blue lips of        death。    And ere the rocks could meet 

again they had passed       them�察�and were safe out in the open sea。 

    And after that they  sailed on   wearily along   the Asian   coast�察        �by  the 

Black Cape and Thyneis�察�where the hot stream of              Thymbris falls into the 

sea�察�and Sangarius�察�whose waters           float on the Euxine�察�till they came to 

Wolf the river�察�and to       Wolf the kindly king。       And there died two brave 

heroes�察  �Idmon     and   Tiphys   the   wise   helmsman�此     �one   died   of   an  evil 

sickness�察   �and   one   a   wild   boar   slew。 So   the   heroes   heaped   a   mound 

above     them�察�and set upon it an oar on high�察�and left them there to            sleep 

together�察  �on   the   far´off   Lycian  shore。  But   Idas   killed   the   boar�察 �and 

avenged   Tiphys�察  �and Ancaios   took   the   rudder   and     was   helmsman�察  �and 

steered them on toward the east。 

    And they went on past Sinope�察�and many a mighty river's               mouth�察�and 

past many a barbarous tribe�察�and the cities of the           Amazons�察�the warlike 

women of the East�察�till all night they          heard the clank of anvils and the 

roar of furnace´blasts�察�and       the forge´fires shone like sparks through the 

darkness in the      mountain glens aloft�察�for they were come to the shores of 

the    Chalybes�察�the smiths who never tire�察�but serve Ares the cruel              War´ 

god�察�forging weapons day and night。 

    And at day´dawn they looked eastward�察�and midway between the                    sea 

and   the   sky   they   saw   white   snow´peaks   hanging�察  �glittering   sharp   and 

bright    above   the   clouds。   And     they  knew     that  they   were    come    to

Caucasus�察     �at  the   end   of  all  the   earth�此  �Caucasus       the    highest   of   all 

mountains�察�the father of the rivers of the            East。    On his peak lies chained 

the Titan�察�while a vulture          tears his heart�察�and at his feet are piled dark 

forests round       the magic Colchian land。 

     And   they   rowed   three   days   to   the   eastward�察  �while   Caucasus         rose 

higher   hour   by   hour�察  �till   they   saw   the   dark   stream   of  Phasis   rushing 

headlong to the sea�察�and�察�shining above the              tree´tops�察�the golden roofs of 

King Aietes�察�the child of the         Sun。 

     Then out spoke Ancaios the helmsman�察�'We are come to our goal                          at 

last�察�for there are the roofs of Aietes�察�and the woods                 where all poisons 

grow�察�but who can tell us where among them                    is hid the golden fleece�拭�

Many a toil must we bear ere we             find it�察�and bring it home to Greece。' 

     But Jason cheered the heroes�察�for his heart was high and                 bold�察�and he 

said�察�'I will go alone up to Aietes�察�though he             be the child of the Sun�察�and 

win him with soft words。           Better     so than to go altogether�察�and to come 

to blows at once。'       But     the Minuai would not stay behind�察�so they rowed 

boldly up the       stream。 

     And   a   dream   came   to   Aietes�察  �and   filled   his   heart   with   fear。    He 

thought he saw a shining star�察�which fell into his               daughter's lap�察�and that 

Medeia   his   daughter   took   it   gladly�察   �and   carried   it   to   the   riverside�察  �and 

cast   it   in�察  �and   there the   whirling   river   bore   it   down�察  �and   out   into   the 

Euxine Sea。 

     Then he leapt up in fear�察�and bade his servants bring his                 chariot�察�that 

he   might   go   down   to   the   river´side   and   appease     the   nymphs�察  �and   the 

heroes   whose  spirits   haunt   the   bank。      So    he   went   down   in   his   golden 

chariot�察�and his daughters by his           side�察�Medeia the fair witch´maiden�察�and 

Chalciope�察  �who   had        been   Phrixus'   wife�察  �and   behind   him   a   crowd   of 

servants and       soldiers�察�for he was a rich and mighty prince。 

     And as he drove down by the reedy river he saw ARGO sliding                           up 

beneath the bank�察�and many a hero in her�察�like Immortals                    for beauty and 

for strength�察�as their weapons glittered round               them in the level morning
