But fearless he replied; “They call my name Acoetes; and Maeonia is the land from whence I came. My parents were so poor, my father left me neither fruitful fields, tilled by the lusty ox, nor fleecy sheep, nor lowing kine; for, he himself was poor, and with his hook and line was wont to catch the leaping fishes, landed by his rod. His skill was all his wealth. And when to me he gave his trade, he said, ‘You are the heir of my employment, therefore unto you all that is mine I give,’ and, at his death, he left me nothing but the running waves. — they are the sum of my inheritance. “And, afterwhile, that I might not be bound forever to my father's rocky shores, I learned to steer the keel with dextrous hand; and marked with watchful gaze the guiding stars; the watery Constellation of the Goat, Olenian, and the Bear, the Hyades, the Pleiades, the houses of the winds, and every harbour suitable for ships. “So chanced it, as I made for Delos, first I veered close to the shores of C

Then did I climb a promontory's height, to learn from there the promise of the winds; which having done, I called the men and sought once more my ship. Opheltes, first of my companions, cried,

men, ‘What deeds are these? What noise assails my ears? What means decoyed my wandering footsteps? Whither do ye lead?’ ‘Fear not,’ the steersman said, ‘but tell us fair the haven of your hope, and you shall land whereso your heart desires.’ ‘To Naxos steer,’ Quoth Bacchus, ‘for it is indeed my home, and there the mariner finds welcome cheer.’ Him to deceive, they pledged themselves, and swore by Gods of seas and skies to do his will: and they commanded me to steer that way. “The Isle of NaxoNaxos was upon our right; and when they saw the sails were set that way, they all began to shout at once, ‘What, ho! Thou madman! what insanity is this, Acoetes? Make our passage to the left.’ And all the while they made their meaning known by artful signs or whispers in my ears. “I was amazed and answered, ‘Take the helm.’ And I refused to execute their will, atrocious, and at once resigned command.

I refused to execute their will, atrocious, and at once resigned command. Then all began to murmur, and the crew reviled me. Up Aethalion jumped and said, ‘As if our only safety is in you!’ With this he swaggered up and took command; and leaving Naxos steered for other shores. “Then Bacchus, mocking them,—as if but then he had discovered their deceitful ways,— looked on the ocean from the rounded stern, and seemed to sob as he addressed the men; ‘Ah mariners, what alien shores are these? 'Tisthe ship; they spray her decks with brine; they rise and sink; they rise again, and dive beneath the waves; they seem in sportive dance upon the main; out from their nostrils they spout sprays of brine; they toss their supple sides. And I alone, of twenty mariners that manned that ship, remained. A cold chill seized my limbs,— I was so frightened; but the gracious God now spake me fair, ‘Fear not and steer for Naxos.’ And when we landed there I ministered on smoking altars Bac
