376

Son, didst thou verily go to Hades' halls?

Yea; the three-headed hound I brought to light.

Vanquished in fight, or by the Goddess given?

In fight. I had seen the Mysteries—well for me!

How, is the monster in Eurystheus' halls?

Nay, in Demeter's Grove, in Hermion's town.

Nor knows Eurystheus thou art risen to day?

Nay; hither first, to know your state, I came.

How wast thou so long time beneath the earth?

From Hades rescuing Theseus, tarried I.

Where is he? Hath he passed to his fatherland?
