anvils to a broad cavern in a floating island where with the blast of flame 

he   wrought   all   manner   of   curious   work�察  �and   she   all   alone   was   sitting 

within�察  �on   an   inlaid   seat   facing   the   door。 And   her   white   shoulders   on 

each side were covered with the mantle of her hair and she was parting it 

with a golden comb and about to braid up the long tresses�察�but when she 

saw the goddesses before her�察�she stayed and called them within�察�and rose 

from her seat and placed them on couches。                  Then she herself sat down�察�

and with her hands gathered up the locks still uncombed。                      And smiling 

she addressed them with crafty words�此�

     ��ll。 52´54��     ;Good friends�察�what intent�察�what occasion brings you here 

after so long�拭      �Why have ye come�察�not too frequent visitors before�察�chief 

among goddesses that ye are�拭─�

     ��ll。   55´75��    And   to   her   Hera   replied�此   �Thou   dost   mock   us�察  �but   our 

hearts are stirred with calamity。           For already on the river Phasis the son 

of Aeson moors his ship�察�he and his comrades in quest of the fleece。                      For 

all their sakes we fear terribly ��for the task is nigh at hand�� but most for 

Aeson's   son。     Him   will   I   deliver�察  �though   he   sail   even   to   Hades   to   free 

Ixion below from his brazen chains�察�as far as strength lies in my limbs�察�so 

that Pelias may not mock at having escaped an evil doomPelias who left 

me unhonoured with sacrifice。             Moreover Jason was greatly loved by me 

before�察�ever since at the mouth of Anaurus in flood�察�as I was making trial 

of men's righteousness�察�he met me on his return from the chase�察�and all the 

mountains   and   long   ridged   peaks   were   sprinkled   with   snow�察  �and   from 

them  the   torrents   rolling   down   were   rushing   with   a   roar。    And   he   took 

pity on me in the likeness of an old crone�察�and raising me on his shoulders 

himself   bore   me   through   the   headlong   tide。      So   he   is   honoured   by   me 

unceasingly�察  �nor   will   Pelias   pay   the   penalty   of   his   outrage�察  �unless   thou 

wilt grant Jason his return。; 

     ��ll。   76´82��    Thus   she   spake�察  �and   speechlessness   seized   Cypris。 And 

beholding Hera supplicating her she felt awe�察�and then addressed her with 

friendly words�此 �Dread goddess�察�may  no viler  thing than   Cypris ever  be 

found�察�if I disregard thy eager desire in word or deed�察�whatever my weak 

arms can effect�察�and let there be no favour in return。;

     ��ll。 83´89��     She spake�察�and Hera again addressed her with prudence�此�

;It   is   not   in   need   of   might   or   of   strength   that   we   have   come。 But   just 

quietly  bid   thy  boy  charm Aeetes' daughter   with love   for Jason。              For   if 

she will aid him with her kindly counsel�察�easily do I think he will win the 

fleece of gold and return to Iolcus�察�for she is full of wiles。; 

     ��ll。 90´99��     Thus she spake�察�and Cypris addressed them both�此 �Hera 

and Athena�察�he will obey you rather than me。               For unabashed though he is�察�

there   will   be   some   slight   shame   in   his   eyes   before   you�察  �but   he   has   no 

respect for me�察�but ever slights me in contentious mood。                  And�察�overborne 

by his naughtiness�察�I purpose to break his ill´sounding arrows and his bow 

in his very sight。 For in his anger he has threatened that if I shall not keep 

my hands off him while he still masters his temper�察�I shall have cause to 

blame myself thereafter。; 

     ��ll。 100´105��      So she spake�察�and the goddesses smiled and looked at 

each    other。    But    Cypris    again   spoke�察   �vexed    at  heart�此   �To   others   my 

sorrows are a jest�察�nor ought I to tell them to all�察�I know them too well 

myself。     But now�察�since this pleases you both�察�I will make the attempt and 

coax him�察�and he will not say me nay。; 

     ��ll。   106´110��    Thus   she   spake�察  �and   Hera   took   her   slender   hand   and 

gently smiling�察�replied�此 �Perform this task�察�Cytherea�察�straightway�察�as thou 

sayest�察�and be not angry or contend with thy boy�察�he will cease hereafter to 

vex thee。; 

     ��ll。 111´128��      She spake�察�and left her seat�察�and Athena accompanied 

her   and   they  went   forth both   hastening   back。       And   Cypris   went   on   her 

way through the glens of Olympus to find her boy。                   And she found him 

apart�察   �in   the   blooming      orchard    of   Zeus�察   �not   alone�察   �but   with   him 

Ganymedes�察�whom once Zeus had set to dwell among the immortal gods�察�

being enamoured of his beauty。             And they were playing for golden dice�察�

as   boys   in   one   house   are   wont   to   do。  And   already   greedy   Eros   was 

holding   the   palm   of   his   left   hand   quite   full   of   them   under   his   breast�察�

standing     upright�察  �and    on   the  bloom   of   his   cheeks   a   sweet   blush   was 

glowing。      But the other sat crouching hard by�察�silent and downcast�察�and 

he had two dice left which he threw one after the other�察�and was angered 

by the loud laughter of Eros。           And lo�察�losing them straightway with the

former�察�he went off empty handed�察�helpless�察�and noticed not the approach 

of Cypris。      And she stood before her boy�察�and laying her hand on his lips�察�

addressed him�此�

     ��ll。   129´144��    ;Why   dost   thou   smile   in   triumph�察  �unutterable   rogue�拭�

Hast   thou   cheated   him   thus�察  �and   unjustly   overcome   the   innocent   child�拭�

Come�察�be ready to perform for me the task I will tell thee of�察�and I will 

give   thee   Zeus'   all´beauteous   plaything      the   one   which   his   dear   nurse 

Adrasteia made for him�察�while he still lived a child�察�with childish ways�察�in 

the Idaean cavea well´rounded ball�察�no better toy wilt thou get from the 

hands of Hephaestus。          All of gold are its zones�察�and round each double 

seams run in a circle�察�but the   stitches are hidden�察�and a dark blue   spiral 

overlays them all。        But if thou shouldst cast it with thy hands�察�lo�察�like a 

star�察�it sends a flaming track through the sky。              This I will give thee�察�and 

do thou strike with thy shaft and charm the daughter of Aeetes with love 

for Jason�察�and let there be no loitering。           For then my thanks would be the 

slighter。; 

     ��ll。   145´150��    Thus   she   spake�察  �and   welcome   were   her   words   to   the 

listening boy。      And he threw down all his toys�察�and eagerly seizing her 

robe on this side and on that�察�clung to the goddess。 And he implored her to 

bestow the gift at once�察�but she�察�facing him with kindly words�察�touched his 

cheeks�察�kissed him and drew him to her�察�and replied with a smile�此�

     ��ll。 151´153��      ;Be witness now thy dear head and mine�察�that surely I 

will   give   thee   the   gift   and   deceive   thee   not�察  �if   thou   wilt   strike   with   thy 

shaft Aeetes' daughter。; 

     ��ll。 154´166��      She spoke�察�and he gathered up his dice�察�and having well 

counted      them    all  threw    them    into   his   mother's    gleaming      lap。   And 

straightway with golden baldric he slung round him his quiver from where 

it leant against a tree´trunk�察�and took up his curved bow。                  And he fared 

forth through the fruitful orchard of the palace of Zeus。                Then he passed 

through the gates of Olympus high in air�察�hence is a downward path from 

heaven�察�and the twin poles rear aloft steep mountain tops the highest crests 

of   earth�察  �where   the   risen   sun   grows   ruddy   with   his   first   beams。   And 

beneath him there appeared now the life´giving earth and cities of men and 

sacred streams of rivers�察�and now in turn mountain peaks and the ocean all

around�察�as he swept through the vast expanse of air。 

     ��ll。 167´193��       Now the heroes apart in ambush�察�in a back´water of the 

river�察  �were   met   in   council�察  �sitting   on   the   benches   of   their   ship。     And 

Aeson's son himself   was   speaking   among   them�察  �and they  were   listening 

silently   in   their   places   sitting   row   upon   row�此   �My   friends�察  �what   pleases 

myself that will I say out�察�it is for you to bring about its fulfilment。                     For 

in common is our task�察�and common to all alike is the right of speech�察�and 

he who in silence withholds his thought and his counsel�察�let him know that 

it is he alone that bereaves this band of its home´return。                  Do ye others rest 

here   in   the   ship   quietly   with   your   arms�察  �but   I   will   go   to   the   palace   of 

Aeetes�察  �taking   with   me   the   sons   of   Phrixus   and   two   comrades   as   well。 

And when I meet him I will first make trial with words to see if he will be 

willing     to  give   up   the   golden     fleece   for  friendship's     sake    or  not�察  �but 

trusting   to   his   might   will   set   at   nought   our   quest。  For   so�察  �learning   his 

frowardness   first   from   himself�察  �we   will   consider   whether   we   shall   meet 

him in battle�察�or some other plan shall avail us�察�if we refrain from the war´ 

cry。    And   let   us   not   merely   by   force�察  �before   putting   words   to   the   test�察�

deprive him of his own possession。                But first it is better to go to him and 

win his favour by speech。            Oftentimes�察�I ween�察�does speech accomplish at 

need   what   prowess   could   hardly
