Shall one day be around Thermôdon's bank,

By Themiskyra,[[180]] where the ravenous jaws

Of Salmydessos ope upon the sea,

Treacherous to sailors, stepdame stern to ships.[[181]]

And thou, hard by a broad pool's narrow gates,

Wilt pass to the Kimmerian isthmus. Leaving

This boldly, thou must cross Mæotic channel;[[182]]

And there shall be great fame 'mong mortal men
