No sun cheers the sightless,

’Neath the ground far away.

Enter Athena.

Athena.

The cry that called me from Scamander’s banks[n33]

I heard afar, even as I hied to claim

The land for mine which the Achæan chiefs

Assigned me, root and branch, my portion fair

Of the conquered roods, a goodly heritage

To Theseus’ sons. Thence, with unwearied foot,
