And safe on the ‘Long Row Isles’ did they land; for the prayers had prevailed {650}
Of the sons of Zeus; for the which cause altars and temples aye
Unto these have been reared: nor with those sea-farers alone went they
As helpers, but Zeus made these all mariners’ saviours to be.
So the ‘Long Row’ left they, and on to Aithalia sped oversea.
There in athlete-strife did they supple their limbs, till the sweat of them dripped
As rain, and the pebbles are flecked as with scarf-skin strigil-stripped
To this day; and their quoits and their wondrous armour are there, all stone;
And yet in the name of the haven the glory of Argo is shown.
And swiftly speeding thence they fleeted the sea-swell o’er,
