Far leaping from the bowman's hand; so flies
The Cretan dart, but far within the mark.820
His head against the jagged rocks is dashed,
His headless body falls into the sea,
Death[31] claiming both. "But hold," Alcides said,
"No madness steals my reason as of yore;
This is an evil greater far than rage
Of madness; 'gainst myself alone I turn."825

But rages wildly, tearing at his flesh,
