Synopsis
Excerpt from The Golden Fleece: More Old Greek Stories
To the lad Cretheus, the youngest of the sons of olus, all this seemed unbearable. He missed the friends of former days. He missed their loving service. He shrank before the cold' looks and harsh words that greeted him day by day.
At length he said to his brother the king: I have no longer a home. I would rather go out into the great woods and live with the wild things there than dwell in this cheerless place.
The face of Athamas grew black with anger, and he answered: Begone, and be it so! Go, live With the wild things, and let not to-morrow's sun see you Within the city walls.
The young prince had no mind to disobey. At the break Of day he set out, to journey he knew not whither. With a stout stick in his hand and his father's sword by his side, he went forth to seek his fortune among strangers. Yet no fear had he of the end, for in those early days no man nor boy knew What fear was.
