�察�and I shall hear the tale of Theseus'  fame。  Yet beyond that I see new sorrows�察�but I can bear them  as I have borne the past。'

Then she kissed Theseus�察�and wept over him�察�and went into the  temple�察�and Theseus saw her no more。


PART II ´ HOW THESEUS SLEW THE DEVOURERS OF MEN


SO Theseus stood there alone�察�with his mind full of many  hopes。  And first he thought of going down to the harbour and  hiring a swift ship�察�and sailing across the bay to Athens�察 �but even that seemed too slow for him�察�and he longed for  wings to fly across the sea�察�and find his father。  But after  a while his heart began to fail him�察�and he sighed�察�and said  within himself ´

'What if my father have other sons about him whom he loves�拭  �What if he will not receive me�拭 �And what have I done that he  should receive me�拭 �He has forgotten me ever since I was  born�此 �why should he welcome me now��'

Then he thought a long while sadly�察�and at the last he cried  aloud�察�'Yes�  �I will make him love me�察�for I will prove  myself worthy of his love。  I will win honour and renown�察�and  do such deeds that AEgeus shall be proud of me�察�though he had  fifty other sons�  �Did not Heracles win himself honour�察 �though he was opprest�察�and the slave of Eurystheus�拭 �Did he  not kill all robbers and evil beasts�察�and drain great lakes  and marshes�察�breaking the hills through with his club�拭  �Therefore it was that all men honoured him�察�because he rid  them of their miseries�察�and made life pleasant to them and  their children after them。  Where can I go�察�to do as Heracles  has done�拭 �Where can I find strange adventures�察�robbers�察�and  monsters�察�and the children of hell�察�the enemies of men�拭 �I  will go by land�察�and into the mountains�察�and round by the way  of the Isthmus。  Perhaps there I may hear of brave  adventures�察�and do something which shall win my father's  love。'

So he went by land�察�and away into the mountains�察�with his  father's sword upon his thigh�察�till he came to the Spider  mountains�察�which hang over Epidaurus and the sea�察�where the  glens run downward from one peak in the midst�察�as the rays  spread in the spider's web。

And he went up into the gloomy glens�察�between the furrowed  marble walls�察�till the lowland grew blue beneath his feet and  the clouds drove damp about his head。

But he went up and up for ever�察�through the spider's web of  glens�察�till he could see the narrow gulfs spread below him�察 �north and south�察�and east and west�察�black cracks half´choked  with mists�察�and above all a dreary down。

But over that down he must go�察�for there was no road right or  left�察�so he toiled on through bog and brake�察�till he came to  a pile of stones。

And on the stones a man was sitting�察�wrapt in a bearskin  cloak。  The head of the bear served him for a cap�察�and its  teeth grinned white around his brows�察�and the feet were tied  about his throat�察�and their claws shone white upon his chest。   And when he saw Theseus he rose�察�and laughed till the glens  rattled。

'And who art thou�察�fair fly�察�who hast walked into the  spider's web��'  But Theseus walked on steadily�察�and made no  answer�察�but he thought�察�'Is this some robber�拭�and has an  adventure come already to me��'  But the strange man laughed  louder than ever�察�and said ´

'Bold fly�察�know you not that these glens are the web from  which no fly ever finds his way out again�察�and this down the  spider's house�察�and I the spider who sucks the flies�拭 �Come  hither�察�and let me feast upon you�察�for it is of no use to run  away�察�so cunning a web has my father Hephaistos spread for me  when he made these clefts in the mountains�察�through which no  man finds his way home。'

But Theseus came on steadily�察�and asked ´

'And what is your name among men�察�bold spider�拭�and where are  your spider's fangs��'

Then the strange man laughed again ´

'My name is Periphetes�察�the son of Hephaistos and Anticleia  the mountain nymph。  But men call me Corynetes the club´ bearer�察�and here is my spider's fang。'

And he lifted from off the stones at his side a mighty club  of bronze。

'This my father gave me�察�and forged it himself in the roots  of the mountain�察�and with it I pound all proud flies till  they give out their fatness and their sweetness。  So give me  up that gay sword of yours�察�and your mantle�察�and your golden  sandals�察�lest I pound you�察�and by ill´luck you die。'

But Theseus wrapt his mantle round his left arm quickly�察�in  hard folds�察�from his shoulder to his hand�察�and drew his  sword�察�and rushed upon the club´bearer�察�and the club´bearer  rushed on him。

Thrice he struck at Theseus�察�and made him bend under the  blows like a sapling�察�but Theseus guarded his head with his  left arm�察�and the mantle which was wrapt around it。

And thrice Theseus sprang upright after the blow�察�like a  sapling when the storm is past�察�and he stabbed at the club´ bearer with his sword�察�but the loose folds of the bearskin  saved him。

Then Theseus grew mad�察�and closed with him�察�and caught him by  the throat�察�and they fell and rolled over together�察�but when  Theseus rose up from the ground the club´bearer lay still at  his feet。

Then Theseus took his club and his bearskin�察�and left him to  the kites and crows�察�and went upon his journey down the glens  on the farther slope�察�till he came to a broad green valley�察 �and saw flocks and herds sleeping beneath the trees。

And by the side of a pleasant fountain�察�under the shade of  rocks and trees�察�were nymphs and shepherds dancing�察�but no  one piped to them while they danced。

And when they saw Theseus they shrieked�察�and the shepherds  ran off�察�and drove away their flocks�察�while the nymphs dived  into the fountain like coots�察�and vanished。

Theseus wondered and laughed�此 �'What strange fancies have  folks here who run away from strangers�察�and have no music  when they dance��'  But he was tired�察�and dusty�察�and thirsty�察 �so he thought no more of them�察�but drank and bathed in the  clear pool�察�and then lay down in the shade under a plane´ tree�察�while the water sang him to sleep�察�as it tinkled down  from stone to stone。

And when he woke he heard a whispering�察�and saw the nymphs  peeping at him across the fountain from the dark mouth of a  cave�察�where they sat on green cushions of moss。  And one  said�察�'Surely he is not Periphetes��' and another�察�'He looks  like no robber�察�but a fair and gentle youth。'

Then Theseus smiled�察�and called them�察�'Fair nymphs�察�I am not  Periphetes。  He sleeps among the kites and crows�察�but I have  brought away his bearskin and his club。'

Then they leapt across the pool�察�and came to him�察�and called  the shepherds back。  And he told them how he had slain the  club´bearer�此 �and the shepherds kissed his feet and sang�察 �'Now we shall feed our flocks in peace�察�and not be afraid to  have music when we dance�察�for the cruel club´bearer has met  his match�察�and he will listen for our pipes no more。'  Then  they brought him kid's flesh and wine�察�and the nymphs brought  him honey from the rocks�察�and he ate�察�and drank�察�and slept  again�察�while the nymphs and shepherds danced and sang。  And  when he woke�察�they begged him to stay�察�but he would not。  'I  have a great work to do��' he said�察�'I must be away toward the  Isthmus�察�that I may go to Athens。'

But the shepherds said�察�'Will you go alone toward Athens�拭  �None travel that way now�察�except in armed troops。'

'As for arms�察�I have enough�察�as you see。  And as for troops�察 �an honest man is good enough company for himself。  Why should  I not go alone toward Athens��'

'If you do�察�you must look warily about you on the Isthmus�察 �lest you meet Sinis the robber�察�whom men call Pituocamptes  the pine´bender�察�for he bends down two pine´trees�察�and binds  all travellers hand and foot between them�察�and when he lets  the trees go again their bodies are torn in sunder。'

'And after that��' said another�察�'you must go inland�察�and not  dare to pass over the cliffs of Sciron�察�for on the left hand  are the mountains�察�and on the right the sea�察�so that you have  no escape�察�but must needs meet Sciron the robber�察�who will  make you wash his feet�察�and while you are washing them he  will kick you over the cliff�察�to the tortoise who lives  below�察�and feeds upon the bodies of the dead。'

And before Theseus could answer�察�another cried�察�'And after  that is a worse danger still�察�unless you go inland always�察 �and leave Eleusis far on your right。  For in Eleusis rules  Kerkuon the cruel king�察�the terror of all mortals�察�who killed  his own daughter Alope in prison。  But she was changed into a  fair fountain�察�and her child he cast out upon the mountains�察 �but the wild mares gave it milk。  And now he challenges all  comers to wrestle with him�察�for he is the best wrestler in  all Attica�察�and overthrows all who come�察�and those whom he  overthrows he murders miserably�察�and his palace´court is full  of their bones。'

Then Theseus frowned�察�and said�察�'This seems indeed an ill´ ruled land�察�and adventures enough in it to be tried。  But if  I am the heir of it�察�I will rule it and right it�察�and here is  my royal sceptre。'

And he shook his club of bronze�察�while the nymphs and  shepherds clung round him�察�and entreated him not to go。

But on he went nevertheless�察�till he could see both the seas  and the citadel of Corinth towering high above all the land。   And he past swiftly along the Isthmus�察�for his heart burned  to meet that cruel Sinis�察�and in a pine´wood at last he met  him�察�where the Isthmus was narrowest and the road ran between  high rocks。  There he sat upon a stone by the wayside�察�with a  young fir´tree for a club across his knees�察�and a cord laid  ready by his side�察�and over his head�察�upon the fir´tops�察�hung  the bones of murdered men。

Then Theseus shouted to him�察�'Holla�察�thou valiant pine´ bender�察�hast thou two fir´trees left for me��'

And Sinis leapt to his feet�察�and answered�察�pointing to the  bones above his head�察�'My larder has grown empty lately�察�so I  have two fir´trees ready for thee。'  And he rushed on  Theseus�察�lifting his club�察�and Theseus rushed upon him。

Then they hammered together till the greenwoods rang�察�but the  metal was tougher than the pine�察�and Sinis' club broke right  across�察�as the bronze came down upon it。  Then Theseus heaved  up another mighty stroke�察�and smote Sinis down upon his face�察 �and knelt upon his back�察�and bou
