Poseidon read by Larry Wilson.

This is no honorable conduct, Poseidon; for the truth shall be told.

Yes; for you were disdainful and dilatory, you who neglected so good-looking a girl, who paid you daily visits dying for love, and took pleasure in causing her pain; while she, wandering along your banks, and even entering your stream, and sometimes bathing, was dying to have your embrace.

But you would give yourself air towards her.

Such then was Orpheus, whom Æson's son welcomed to share his toils, in obedience to the behest of Chiron, Orpheus' ruler of Paestonian Pieria.

Straightway came Asterion, whom Cometes begat by the waters of eddying Apidanus; he dwelt at Peirithoë near the Philean mountain, where mighty Apidanus and bright Enipeus join their streams, coming together from afar.

Next to them from Larissa came Polyphemus, son of Eletus, who aforetime, among the mighty Lapithæ, when they were arming themselves against the Centaurs, fought in his younger days; now his limbs were grown heavy with age, but his martial spirit still remained even as of old.
