a    bear´cub under each arm�察�and laughed when they scratched and                        bit�察�

for neither tooth nor steel could wound him。 

     And Cheiron praised them all�察�each according to his deserts。 

     Only one walked apart and silent�察�Asclepius�察�the too´wise                  child�察�with 

his bosom full of herbs and flowers�察�and round               his wrist a spotted snake�察�

he   came   with   downcast   eyes   to      Cheiron�察  �and   whispered   how   he   had 

watched   the   snake   cast   its   old   skin�察  �and   grow   young   again   before   his 

eyes�察�and how he         had gone down into a village in the vale�察�and cured a 

dying     man with a herb which he had seen a sick goat eat。 

     And     Cheiron    smiled�察   �and   said�察  �'To  each   Athene     and   Apollo     give 

some   gift�察  �and   each   is   worthy  in   his   place�察  �but   to   this   child they  have 

given an honour beyond all honours�察�to cure while                others kill。' 

     Then the lads brought in wood�察�and split it�察�and lighted a               blazing fire�察�

and   others   skinned   the   deer   and   quartered   them�察    �and   set   them  to   roast 

before   the   fire�察  �and   while   the   venison  was   cooking   they   bathed   in   the 

snow´torrent�察�and washed away             the dust and sweat。

     And   then   all   ate   till   they   could   eat   no   more   ��for   they   had tasted 

nothing since the dawn���察�and drank of the clear spring                water�察�for wine is 

not fit for growing lads。        And when the         remnants were put away�察�they 

all lay down upon the skins and            leaves about the fire�察�and each took the 

lyre in turn�察�and      sang and played with all his heart。 

     And   after   a   while   they  all   went out   to   a   plot of   grass   at   the cave's 

mouth�察�and there they boxed�察�and ran�察�and wrestled�察                �and laughed till the 

stones fell from the cliffs。 

     Then Cheiron took his lyre�察�and all the lads joined hands�察                �and as be 

played�察  �they   danced   to   his   measure�察  �in   and   out�察  �and round   and   round。 

There   they   danced   hand   in   hand�察  �till   the night   fell   over   land   and   sea�察�

while the black glen shone with           their broad white limbs and the gleam of 

their golden hair。 

     And     the    lad   danced     with    them�察   �delighted�察    �and   then    slept   a 

wholesome sleep�察�upon fragrant leaves of bay�察�and myrtle�察�and                  marjoram�察�

and flowers of thyme�察�and rose at the dawn�察�and                  bathed in the torrent�察�

and became a schoolfellow to the            heroes' sons�察�and forgot Iolcos�察�and his 

father�察  �and   all  his   former     life。  But    he  grew    strong�察  �and   brave   and 

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   wen
