sand   to   the   dim   horizon�察  �and   there   moveth   nothing   that   creeps   or   flies。 

Here accordingly the flood´tidefor this tide often retreats from the land 

and   bursts   back   again   over   the   beach   coming   on   with   a   rush   and   roar 

thrust them suddenly on to the innermost shore�察�and but little of the keel 

was   left   in   the   water。  And   they   leapt   forth   from   the   ship�察  �and   sorrow 

seized   them   when   they   gazed   on   the   mist   and   the   levels   of   vast   land 

stretching   far   like   a   mist   and   continuous   into   the   distance�察  �no   spot   for 

water�察�no path�察�no steading of herdsmen did they descry afar off�察�but all 

the scene was possessed by a dead calm。                And thus did one hero�察�vexed in 

spirit�察�ask another�此�

     ��ll。 1251´1258��        ;What land is this�拭        �Whither has the tempest hurled 

us�拭    �Would that�察�reckless of deadly fear�察�we had dared to rush on by that 

same path between the clashing rocks�                 �Better were it to have overleapt 

the will of Zeus and perished in venturing some mighty deed。                         But now 

what should we do�察�held back by the winds to stay here�察�if ever so short a 

time�拭    �How desolate looms before us the edge of the limitless land� ─�

     ��ll。  1259´1276��        Thus     one    spake�察   �and   among      them    Ancaeus      the 

helmsman�察�in despair at their evil case�察�spoke with grieving heart�此 �Verily 

we are undone by a terrible doom�察�there is no escape from ruin�察�we must 

suffer   the   cruellest   woes�察  �having   fallen   on   this   desolation�察  �even   though 

breezes should blow from the land�察�for�察�as I gaze far around�察�on every side 

do I behold a sea of shoals�察�and masses of water�察�fretted line upon line�察�run 

over the hoary sand。         And miserably long ago would our sacred ship have 

been shattered far from the shore�察�but the tide itself bore her high on to the 

land from the deep sea。          But now the tide rushes back to the sea�察�and only 

the foam�察�whereon no ship can sail�察�rolls round us�察�just covering the land。 

Wherefore I deem that all hope of our voyage and of our return is cut off。 

Let   someone   else   show   his skill�察  �let   him  sit   at the   helm  the   man   that   is 

eager for our deliverance。          But Zeus has no will to fulfil our day of return 

after all our toils。; 

     ��ll。 1277´1317��        Thus   he spake  with   tears�察 �and   all   of  them  that   had 

knowledge of ships agreed thereto�察�but the hearts of all grew numb�察�and

pallor overspread their cheeks。            And as�察�like lifeless spectres�察�men roam 

through a city awaiting the issue of war or of pestilence�察�or some mighty 

storm which overwhelms the countless labours of oxen�察�when the images 

of their own accord sweat and run down with blood�察�and bellowings are 

heard in temples�察�or when at mid´day the sun draws on night from heaven�察�

and the stars shine clear through the mist�察�so at that time along the endless 

strand the chieftains wandered�察�groping their way。                 Then straightway dark 

evening came upon them�察�and piteously did they embrace each other and 

say  farewell   with   tears�察  �that   they  might�察  �each one   apart   from  his   fellow�察�

fall   on   the   sand   and   die。  And   this   way   and   that   they   went   further   to 

choose a resting´place�察�and they wrapped their heads in their cloaks and�察�

fasting and unfed�察�lay down all that night and the day�察�awaiting a piteous 

death。     But     apart   the   maidens     huddled     together    lamented     beside    the 

daughter of Aeetes。          And as   when�察 �forsaken by  their   mother�察 �unfledged 

birds that have fallen from a cleft in the rock chirp shrilly�察�or when by the 

banks of fair´flowing Pactolus�察�swans raise their song�察�and all around the 

dewy meadow echoes and the river's fair stream�察�so these maidens�察�laying 

in   the   dust   their   golden   hair�察  �all   through   the   night   wailed   their   piteous 

lament。 And   there   all   would   have   parted   from   life   without   a   name   and 

unknown to mortal men�察�those bravest of heroes�察�with their task unfulfilled�察�

but as they pined in despair�察�the heroine´nymphs�察�warders of Libya�察�had 

pity    on   them�察  �they    who    once    found    Athena�察   �what    time    she   leapt   in 

gleaming armour from her father's head�察�and bathed her by Trito's waters。 

It   was   noon´tide   and   the   fiercest   rays   of   the   sun   were   scorching   Libya�察�

they   stood   near Aeson's   son�察  �and   lightly   drew   the   cloak   from   his   head。 

And   the   hero   cast   down   his   eyes   and   looked   aside�察  �in   reverence   for   the 

goddesses�察�and as he lay bewildered all alone they addressed him openly 

with gentle words�此�

     ��ll。 1318´1329��       ;Ill´starred one�察�why art thou so smitten with despair�拭�

We know how ye went in quest of the golden fleece�察�we know each toil of 

yours�察�all the mighty deeds ye wrought in your wanderings over land and 

sea。    We     are   the  solitary   ones�察   �goddesses     of  the   land�察  �speaking     with 

human voice�察�the heroines�察�Libya's warders and daughters。                       Up then�察�be 

not   thus   afflicted   in   thy   misery�察  �and   rouse   thy   comrades。      And   when

Amphitrite has straightway loosed Poseidon's swift´wheeled car�察�then do 

ye pay to your mother a recompense for all her travail when she bare you 

so long in her womb�察�and so ye may return to the divine land of Achaea。; 

     ��ll。 1330´1332��      Thus they spake�察�and with the voice vanished at once�察�

where they stood。        But Jason sat upon the earth as he gazed around�察�and 

thus cried�此�

     ��ll。 1333´1336��       ;Be gracious�察�noble goddesses of the desert�察�yet the 

saying   about   our   return   I   understand   not   clearly。   Surely   I   will   gather 

together my comrades and tell them�察�if haply we can find some token of 

our escape�察�for the counsel of many is better。; 

     ��ll。 1337´1346��       He spake�察�and leapt to his feet�察�and shouted afar to 

his comrades�察�all squalid with dust�察�like a lion when he roars through the 

woodland seeking his mate�察�and far off in the mountains the glens tremble 

at   the   thunder   of   his   voice�察  �and   the   oxen   of   the   field   and   the   herdsmen 

shudder with fear�察�yet to them Jason's voice was no whit terrible the voice 

of   a  comrade     calling   to  his   friends。   And     with   looks   downcast     they 

gathered near�察�and hard by where the ship lay he made them sit down in 

their grief and the women with them�察�and addressed them and told them 

everything�此�

     ��ll。 1347´1362��      ;Listen�察�friends�察�as I lay in my grief�察�three goddesses 

girded with goat´skins from the neck downwards round the back and waist�察�

like maidens�察�stood over my head nigh at hand�察�and they uncovered me�察�

drawing my cloak away with light hand�察�and they bade me rise up myself 

and go and rouse you�察�and pay to our mother a bounteous recompense for 

all   her   travail   when   she   bare   us   so   long   in   her   womb�察  �when Amphitrite 

shall    have   loosed    Poseidon's     swift´wheeled      car。   But    I  cannot    fully 

understand concerning this divine message。                They said indeed that they 

were   heroines�察  �Libya's   warders   and   daughters�察  �and   all   the   toils   that   we 

endured aforetime by land and sea�察�all these they declared that they knew 

full well。     Then I saw them no more in their place�察�but a mist or cloud 

came between and hid them from my sight。; 

     ��ll。 1363´1369��      Thus he spake�察�and all marvelled as they heard。 Then 

was wrought   for the   Minyae   the strangest of portents。            From the   sea to 

the   land   leapt   forth   a   monstrous   horse�察  �of   vast   size�察  �with   golden   mane

tossing round his neck�察�and quickly from his limbs he shook off abundant 

spray   and   started   on   his   course�察  �with   feet   like   the   wind。  And   at   once 

Peleus rejoiced and spake among the throng of his comrades�此�

     ��ll。  1370´1379��       ;I    deem    that   Poseidon's     ear  has   even    now    been 

loosed by the hands of his dear wife�察�and I divine that our mother is none 

else than our ship herself�察�for surely she bare us in her womb and groans 

unceasingly   with   grievous   travailing。         But   with   unshaken   strength   and 

untiring shoulders will we lift her up and bear her within this country of 

sandy wastes�察�where yon swift´footed steed has sped before。                      For he will 

not plunge beneath the earth�察�and his hoof´prints�察�I ween�察�will point us to 

some bay above the sea。; 

     ��ll。 1380´1392��       Thus he spake�察�and the fit counsel pleased all。 This is 

the tale the Muses told�察�and I sing obedient to the Pierides�察�and this report 

have I heard most truly�察�that ye�察�O mightiest far of the sons of kings�察�by 

your   might   and   your   valour   over   the   desert   sands   of   Libya   raised   high 

aloft on your shoulders the ship and all that ye brought therein�察�and bare 

her twelve days and nights alike。             Yet who could tell the pain and grief 

which   they   endured   in   that   toil�拭   �Surely   they   were   of   the   blood   of   the 

immortals�察  �such   a   task   did   they   take   on   them�察  �constrained   by   necessity。 

How      forward    and    how    far  they   bore   her   gladly   to  the   waters    of  the 

Tritonian lake�       �H
