woman like a virgin; and he; overcome by strong desire; lay with her in 

love's   embrace;   and   united   with   her   he   pitied   her;   as   though   she   were   a 

maiden whom he was feeding with his own milk; but she comforted him 

with gentle words: 

     (ll。 1741…1745)        〃Daughter of Triton am I; dear friend; and nurse of 

thy  children;   no   maiden;   Triton   and   Libya   are   my   parents。       But   restore 

me   to   the   daughters   of   Nereus   to   dwell   in   the   sea   near Anaphe;   I   shall 

return again to the light of the sun; to prepare a home for thy descendants。〃 

     (ll。  1746…1748)        Of    this  he   stored   in   his  heart   the   memory;      and

declared   it   to   Aeson's   son;   and   Jason   pondered   a   prophecy   of   the   Far… 

Darter and lifted up his voice and said: 

     (ll。 1749…1754)       〃My friend; great and glorious renown has fallen to 

thy lot。    For of this clod when thou hast cast it into the sea; the gods will 

make an island; where thy children's children shall dwell; for Triton gave 

this to thee as a stranger's gift from the Libyan mainland。                 None other of 

the immortals it was than he that gave thee this when he met thee。〃 

     (ll。   1755…1764)      Thus   he   spake;   and   Euphemus   made   not   vain   the 

answer of Aeson's son; but; cheered by the prophecy; he cast the clod into 

the   depths。     Therefrom   rose   up   an   island;   Calliste;   sacred   nurse   of   the 

sons of Euphemus; who in former days dwelt in Sintian Lemnos; and from 

Lemnos were driven forth by Tyrrhenians and came to Sparta as suppliants; 

and   when   they   left   Sparta;   Theras;   the   goodly   son   of Autesion;   brought 

them to the island Calliste; and from himself he gave it the name of Thera。 

But this befell after the days of Euphemus。 

     (ll。 1765…1772)       And thence they steadily left behind long leagues of 

sea   and   stayed   on   the   beach   of Aegina;   and   at   once   they   contended   in 

innocent strife  about   the fetching   of   water; who   first should draw  it   and 

reach the ship。       For both their need and the ceaseless breeze urged them 

on。    There even to this day          do the youths of the Myrmidons take up on 

their shoulders full… brimming jars; and with swift feet strive for victory in 

the race。 

     (ll。   1773…1781)      Be   gracious;   race   of   blessed   chieftains!    And   may 

these songs year after year be sweeter to sing among men。                    For now have 

I come to the glorious end of your toils; for no adventure befell you as ye 

came   home   from   Aegina;   and   no   tempest   of   winds   opposed   you;   but 

quietly did ye skirt the Cecropian land and Aulis inside of Euboea and the 

Opuntian   cities   of   the   Locrians;   and   gladly   did   ye   step   forth   upon   the 

beach of Pagasae。 

       ENDNOTES:   (1)          The   allusion   is   to   Sesotris。   See   Herodotus   ii。 

102 foll。 (2)      Or; reading EMETEREN; 〃into our sea〃。                    The Euxine is 

meant            in   any   case   and   the   word    Ionian    is  therefore   wrong。     (3) 

Apollonius seems to have thought that the Po; the Rhone; and                              the 

Rhine   are   all   connected   together。   (4)    i。e。   like   the   scrapings   from   skin;

APOSTLEGGISMATA;   see                     Strabo   p。   224   for   this   adventure。   (5) 

The     〃Symplegades〃        are   referred    to;   where     help    was    given    by 

Athena; not by Hera。        It is strange that no mention is made                 of the 

〃Planctae〃;     properly    so  called;  past   which   they   are         soon    to  be 

helped。     Perhaps some lines have fallen out。 (6)          i。e。 the Mighty One。 (7) 

i。e。 the Wanderers。 (8)       A fabulous metal; resembling gold in appearance。 

(9)    i。e。 the Sickle…island。 (10) The old name of Corinth。 (11) This seems 

to   be   the  only   possible    translation;   but  the           optative    is  quite 

anomalous。       We   should   expect   EKOMIZES。   (12)   An   old   name   of   the 

Peloponnesus。 (13) i。e。 the isle of Revealing。
