Clytæm. Hephæstos flashing forth bright flames from Ida:

Beacon to beacon from that courier-fire

Sent on its tidings; Ida to the rock[[295]]

Hermæan named, in Lemnos: from the isle

The height of Athos, dear to Zeus, received

A third great torch of flame, and lifted up,

So as on high to skim the broad sea's back,

The stalwart fire rejoicing went its way;

The pine-wood, like a sun, sent forth its light

Of golden radiance to Makistos' watch;
