Kaphaurus, the grandson of Phœbus, Lykoreia’s Lord, {1490}
And of fair Akakallis the princess, whom Minos drave from her home
In Libya to dwell, when the fruit of a God was found in her womb,

And Nasamon’s might and Kaphaurus the strong she bare to his bed,
Even him which smote down Kanthus, defending his sheep as he fought.

When they learned what deed he had done; and the Minyans sought their dead,
