In the verses which commence,

“I sing how the heroes from Cytæan Æeta,

Return’d again to ancient Æmonia.”[293]

And again concerning the Colchians, who,

“Ceasing to plough with oars the Illyrian Sea,[294]

Near to the tomb of fair Harmonia,

Who was transform’d into a dragon’s shape,

Founded their city, which a Greek would call

The Town of Fugitives, but in their tongue

Is Pola named.”
