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
