Who then so proud as Perseus�察�as he leapt back to the rock�察 �and lifted his fair Andromeda in his arms�察�and flew with her to the cliff´top�察�as a falcon carries a dove��
Who so proud as Perseus�察�and who so joyful as all the AEthiop people�拭 �For they had stood watching the monster from the cliffs�察�wailing for the maiden's fate。 And already a messenger had gone to Cepheus and Cassiopoeia�察�where they sat in sackcloth and ashes on the ground�察�in the innermost palace chambers�察�awaiting their daughter's end。 And they came�察�and all the city with them�察�to see the wonder�察�with songs and with dances�察�with cymbals and harps�察�and received their daughter back again�察�as one alive from the dead。
Then Cepheus said�察�'Hero of the Hellens�察�stay here with me and be my son´in´law�察�and I will give you the half of my kingdom。'
'I will be your son´in´law��' said Perseus�察�'but of your kingdom I will have none�察�for I long after the pleasant land of Greece�察�and my mother who waits for me at home。'
Then Cepheus said�察�'You must not take my daughter away at once�察�for she is to us like one alive from the dead。 Stay with us here a year�察�and after that you shall return with honour。' And Perseus consented�察�but before he went to the palace he bade the people bring stones and wood�察�and built three altars�察�one to Athene�察�and one to Hermes�察�and one to Father Zeus�察�and offered bullocks and rams。
And some said�察�'This is a pious man��' yet the priests said�察 �'The Sea Queen will be yet more fierce against us�察�because her monster is slain。' But they were afraid to speak aloud�察 �for they feared the Gorgon's head。 So they went up to the palace�察�and when they came in�察�there stood in the hall Phineus�察�the brother of Cepheus�察�chafing like a bear robbed of her whelps�察�and with him his sons�察�and his servants�察�and many an armed man�察�and he cried to Cepheus ´
'You shall not marry your daughter to this stranger�察�of whom no one knows even the name。 Was not Andromeda betrothed to my son�拭 �And now she is safe again�察�has he not a right to claim her��'
But Perseus laughed�察�and answered�察�'If your son is in want of a bride�察�let him save a maiden for himself。 As yet he seems but a helpless bride´groom。 He left this one to die�察�and dead she is to him。 I saved her alive�察�and alive she is to me�察�but to no one else。 Ungrateful man� �have I not saved your land�察�and the lives of your sons and daughters�察�and will you requite me thus�拭 �Go�察�or it will be worse for you。' But all the men´at´arms drew their swords�察�and rushed on him like wild beasts。
Then he unveiled the Gorgon's head�察�and said�察�'This has delivered my bride from one wild beast�此 �it shall deliver her from many。' And as he spoke Phineus and all his men´at´arms stopped short�察�and stiffened each man as he stood�察�and before Perseus had drawn the goat´skin over the face again�察�they were all turned into stone。
Then Persons bade the people bring levers and roll them out�察 �and what was done with them after that I cannot tell。
So they made a great wedding´feast�察�which lasted seven whole days�察�and who so happy as Perseus and Andromeda��
But on the eighth night Perseus dreamed a dream�察�and he saw standing beside him Pallas Athene�察�as he had seen her in Seriphos�察�seven long years before�察�and she stood and called him by name�察�and said ´
'Perseus�察�you have played the man�察�and see�察�you have your reward。 Know now that the Gods are just�察�and help him who helps himself。 Now give me here Herpe the sword�察�and the sandals�察�and the hat of darkness�察�that I may give them back to their owners�察�but the Gorgon's head you shall keep a while�察�for you will need it in your land of Greece。 Then you shall lay it up in my temple at Seriphos�察�that I may wear it on my shield for ever�察�a terror to the Titans and the monsters�察�and the foes of Gods and men。 And as for this land�察�I have appeased the sea and the fire�察�and there shall be no more floods nor earthquakes。 But let the people build altars to Father Zeus�察�and to me�察�and worship the Immortals�察 �the Lords of heaven and earth。'
And Perseus rose to give her the sword�察�and the cap�察�and the sandals�察�but he woke�察�and his dream vanished away。 And yet it was not altogether a dream�察�for the goat´skin with the head was in its place�察�but the sword�察�and the cap�察�and the sandals were gone�察�and Perseus never saw them more。
Then a great awe fell on Perseus�察�and he went out in the morning to the people�察�and told his dream�察�and bade them build altars to Zeus�察�the Father of Gods and men�察�and to Athene�察�who gives wisdom to heroes�察�and fear no more the earthquakes and the floods�察�but sow and build in peace。 And they did so for a while�察�and prospered�察�but after Perseus was gone they forgot Zeus and Athene�察�and worshipped again Atergatis the queen�察�and the undying fish of the sacred lake�察 �where Deucalion's deluge was swallowed up�察�and they burnt their children before the Fire King�察�till Zeus was angry with that foolish people�察�and brought a strange nation against them out of Egypt�察�who fought against them and wasted them utterly�察�and dwelt in their cities for many a hundred years。
PART V ´ HOW PERSEUS CAME HOME AGAIN
AND when a year was ended Perseus hired Phoenicians from Tyre�察�and cut down cedars�察�and built himself a noble galley�察 �and painted its cheeks with vermilion�察�and pitched its sides with pitch�察�and in it he put Andromeda�察�and all her dowry of jewels�察�and rich shawls�察�and spices from the East�察�and great was the weeping when they rowed away。 But the remembrance of his brave deed was left behind�察�and Andromeda's rock was shown at Iopa in Palestine till more than a thousand years were past。
So Perseus and the Phoenicians rowed to the westward�察�across the sea of Crete�察�till they came to the blue AEgean and the pleasant Isles of Hellas�察�and Seriphos�察�his ancient home。
Then he left his galley on the beach�察�and went up as of old�察 �and he embraced his mother�察�and Dictys his good foster´ father�察�and they wept over each other a long while�察�for it was seven years and more since they had met。
Then Perseus went out�察�and up to the hall of Polydectes�察�and underneath the goat´skin he bore the Gorgon's head。
And when he came into the hall�察�Polydectes sat at the table´ head�察�and all his nobles and landowners on either side�察�each according to his rank�察�feasting on the fish and the goat's flesh�察�and drinking the blood´red wine。 The harpers harped�察 �and the revellers shouted�察�and the wine´cups rang merrily as they passed from hand to hand�察�and great was the noise in the hall of Polydectes。
Then Persons stood upon the threshold�察�and called to the king by name。 But none of the guests knew Perseus�察�for he was changed by his long journey。 He had gone out a boy�察�and he was come home a hero�察�his eye shone like an eagle's�察�and his beard was like a lion's beard�察�and he stood up like a wild bull in his pride。
But Polydectes the wicked knew him�察�and hardened his heart still more�察�and scornfully he called ´
'Ah�察�foundling� �have you found it more easy to promise than to fulfil��'
'Those whom the Gods help fulfil their promises�察�and those who despise them�察�reap as they have sown。 Behold the Gorgon's head��'
Then Perseus drew back the goat´skin�察�and held aloft the Gorgon's head。
Pale grew Polydectes and his guests as they looked upon that dreadful face。 They tried to rise up from their seats�此 �but from their seats they never rose�察�but stiffened�察�each man where he sat�察�into a ring of cold gray stones。
Then Perseus turned and left them�察�and went down to his galley in the bay�察�and he gave the kingdom to good Dictys�察 �and sailed away with his mother and his bride。
And Polydectes and his guests sat still�察�with the wine´cups before them on the board�察�till the rafters crumbled down above their heads�察�and the walls behind their backs�察�and the table crumbled down between them�察�and the grass sprung up about their feet�此 �but Polydectes and his guests sit on the hillside�察�a ring of gray stones until this day。
But Perseus rowed westward toward Argos�察�and landed�察�and went up to the town。 And when he came�察�he found that Acrisius his grandfather had fled。 For Proetus his wicked brother had made war against him afresh�察�and had come across the river from Tiryns�察�and conquered Argos�察�and Acrisius had fled to Larissa�察�in the country of the wild Pelasgi。
Then Perseus called the Argives together�察�and told them who he was�察�and all the noble deeds which he had done。 And all the nobles and the yeomen made him king�察�for they saw that he had a royal heart�察�and they fought with him against Argos�察 �and took it�察�and killed Proetus�察�and made the Cyclopes serve them�察�and build them walls round Argos�察�like the walls which they had built at Tiryns�察�and there were great rejoicings in the vale of Argos�察�because they had got a king from Father Zeus。
But Perseus' heart yearned after his grandfather�察�and he said�察�'Surely he is my flesh and blood�察�and he will love me now that I am come home with honour�此 �I will go and find him�察 �and bring him home�察�and we will reign together in peace。'
So Perseus sailed away with his Phoenicians�察�round Hydrea and Sunium�察�past Marathon and t
