Thomas CopelandVOICE_ACTOR
Have we not seen or by relation heard in courts and regal chambers how thou lurk'st, in wood or grove by mossy fountain-side, in valley or green meadow, to waylay some beauty rare, Callisto, Clymene, Daphne or Semele, Antiope or Amymone, Syrinx, many more too long, than lay'st thy scapes on names adored, Apollo, Neptune, Jupiter or Pan, Satyr or Faun or Sylvan.

Kevin GreenNARRATOR
Hearing that Neptune wished to build a great wall around the city of Troy, and remembering the aid that the sea-god had given his mother Latona in her great need, Apollo went down to the sea and offered his services to Neptune.
