  • In
    dyer's poem of "the Fleese" there is an account of the ship "Argo" and her crew, which gives a good picture of her crew.

    From every region of Aegea's  shore; The brave assembled;  Those illustrious twins, Castor and Polux,Orpheous tune bard,
    zetes and Calais, as the wind speed; strong Hercules and many a chief renowned.On deep Iocus' sandy shore they th'ronged,
    gleaming in all armor, ardent of exploit; and soon, the luarel cord and the huge stone, unlifting to the deck, unmoored the bark ; whose keel of wondrous length the skillfull hand of the
    argus, for the proud attempt;  And in the keel, a lofty mast upraised and sails full sweeling ' to he chiefs. Unwanted objects. Now first, now they learned, Their steerage over ocean waves led by chirons art, had the sphere celestial, &c.   Hercules left the expedition at Mynia, for Hylath, a youth beloved by him, having gone for water, was laid of hold by him.     p 158 of Greece and Rome

    grey  I was sure there was a Zetes somewhere. (grin)

  • ah. i need to come back when not falling asleep, but had to say thy mention of my beloved Chiron, did stop me in my tracks ; ) there was one here, on xanga, that i had named such. i do miss him, but some centaurs do find mates that understand them. may we all be so blessed; if not with mates, at least with understanding friends.

    I will try to explain better when my mind is clearer.
    I don't "believe" in the Tarot, but it is very ancient and a good "thinking device." Take good care, precious one.
