1.1-1.4

wITH thee, Phœbus, will I begin and record the famous deeds of those men of old time, who, at the bidding of king Pelias, rowed the good ship Argo past the mouth of the Euxine and through the rocks Cyanean to fetch the golden fleece.

1.5-1.17

For Pelias had heard an oracle on this wise, that in the latter days a hateful doom awaited him, even death at the prompting of one whom he should see come forth from the people with but one sandal. And not long after, according to the sure report, came Jason on foot across the stream of a swollen torrent, and one sandal did he save from 'neath the mud, but the other left he there sticking in the river bed. So he came to Pelias forthwith to take a part in the solemn feast, which he was offering to his father Poseidon and the other gods, but to Pelasgian Hera he paid no heed. And the instant Pelias saw Jason, he was ware of him, and made ready to his hurt a grievous task of seaman-¹² ship, that so he might lose his return in the deep or haply among strange folk.

1.18-1.22

Now minstrels even before any day do tell how Argus by the counsels of Athene built a ship for him ; but mine shall it now be to declare the lineage and name of the heroes, and their passage of the long sea, and all that they did in their wanderings; and may the Muses be the heralds of my song!

1.23-1.34

First then let us make mention of Orpheus ; he it was, whom, on a day, as rumour saith, Calliope bare beside the peak of Pimpleia, her pledge of love to Thracian Oeager. He, men say, did charm the stubborn rocks upon the hills and the river streams by the strains of his minstrelsy. And wild oaks, memorials yet of that his singing, which he had led right on from Pieria by the spell, of his lyre, marched in ordered ranks, each behind his fellow, to range themselves, with all their leaves, upon the fringe of the Thracian shore. So mighty a man was Orpheus, whom the son of Æson, by the counsels of Chiron, did persuade and take to help him in his toils from his kingship over Bistonian Pieria.

1.35-1.39

Anon came Asterion ; he it was whom Cometes did beget by the waters of swirling Apidanus, when he dwelt in Peiresia, hard by the Phylleian hill, where mighty Apidanus' and divine Enipeus do unite, flowing into one stream from their distant sources.

1.40-1.44

To these came Polyphemus, son of Elatus, having left Larissa; who erst, what time the Lapithæ armed against³⁴ the Centaurs, joined the fray as the youngest of the mighty Lapithæ. Now on that day were his limbs weighed down with wine, but firm abode his warlike spirit still, even as aforetime.

1.45-1.48

No long space was Iphiclus, uncle of the son of Æson, left behind in Phylace; for Æson had wedded his sister, Alcimede of Phylace; whence the claims of blood and kith bade him enrol himself in the muster.

1.49-1.50

Neither did Admetus, lord of Pheræ, rich in sheep, abide beneath the peak of the Chalcodonian mountain.

1.1-1.4

Beginning with thee, O Phoebus, I will recount the famous deeds of men of old, who, at the behest of King Pelias, down through the mouth of Pontus and between the Cyanean rocks, sped well-benched Argo in quest of the golden fleece.

1.5-1.17

Such was the oracle that Pelias heard, that a hateful doom awaited him--to be slain at the prompting of the man whom he should see coming forth from the people with but one sandal. And no long time after, in accordance with that true report, Jason crossed the stream of wintry Anaurus on foot, and saved one sandal from the mire, but the other he left in the depths held back by the flood. And straightway he came to Pelias to share the banquet which the king was offering to his father Poseidon and the rest of the gods, though he paid no honour to Pelasgian Hera. Quickly the king saw him and pondered, and devised for him the toil of a troublous voyage, in order that on the sea or among strangers he might lose his home-return.

1.18-1.22

The ship, as former bards relate, Argus wrought by the guidance of Athena. But now I will tell the lineage and the names of the heroes, and of the long sea-paths and the deeds they wrought in their wanderings; may the Muses be the inspirers of my song!

1.23-1.34

First then let us name Orpheus whom once Calliope bare, it is said, wedded to Thracian Oeagrus, near the Pimpleian height. Men say that he by the music of his songs charmed the stubborn rocks upon the mountains and the course of rivers. And the wild oak-trees to this day, tokens of that magic strain, that grow at Zone on the Thracian shore, stand in ordered ranks close together, the same which under the charm of his lyre he led down from Pieria. Such then was Orpheus whom Aeson's son welcomed to share his toils, in obedience to the behest of Cheiron, Orpheus ruler of Bistonian Pieria.

1.35-1.39

Straightway came Asterion, whom Cometes begat by the waters of eddying Apidanus; he dwelt at Peiresiae near the Phylleian mount, where mighty Apidanus and bright Enipeus join their streams, coming together from afar.

1.40-1.44

Next to them from Larisa came Polyphemus, son of Eilatus, who aforetime among the mighty Lapithae, when they were arming themselves against the Centaurs, fought in his younger days; now his limbs were grown heavy with age, but his martial spirit still remained, even as of old.

1.45-1.48

Nor was Iphiclus long left behind in Phylace, the uncle of Aeson's son; for Aeson had wedded his sister Alcimede, daughter of Phylacus: his kinship with her bade him be numbered in the host.

1.49-1.50

Nor did Admetus, the lord of Pherae rich in sheep, stay behind beneath the peak of the Chalcodonian mount.

INSPIR'D by thee, O Phœbus, I reſound

The glorious deeds of heroes long renown'd,

Whom Pelias urg'd the Golden Fleece to gain,

And well-built Argo wafted o'er the main,

Through the Cyanean rocks. The voice divine

Pronounc'd this ſentence from the ſacred ſhrine;

Erelong, and dreadful woes, foredoom'd by fate,

Thro' that man's counſels ſhall on Pelias wait,

'Whom he, before the altar of his God,

Shall view in public with one ſandal ſhod.

And, lo! as by this oracle foretold,

What time adventurous Jaſon, brave and bold,

Anaurus paſt, high fwoln with winter's flood,

He left one ſandal rooted in the mud.

To Pelias, thus, the haſty prince repair'd,

And the rich banquet at his altar ſhar'd.

The ſtately altar, with oblations ſtor'd,

Was to his ſire erected, ocean's lord,

And every Power that in Olympus reigns,

Save Juno, regent of Theſſalia's plains.

Pelias, whoſe looks his latent fears expreſs'd,

Fir'd with a bold adventure Jaſon's breast;

That, ſunk in ocean, or on ſome rude ſhore

Proſtrate, he ne'er might view his country more.

Old bards affirm this warlike ſhip was made

By ſkilful Argus, with Minerva's aid.

'Tis mine to ſing the chiefs, their names and race,

Their tedious wanderings on the main to trace,

And all their great achievements to rehearſe :

Deign, ye propitious Nine, to aid my verſe.

Firſt in the liſt, to join the princely bands,

The tuneful bard, enchanting Orpheus, ſtands;

Whom fair Calliope, on Thracia's ſhore,

Near Pimpla's mount, to bold Œägrus bore.

Hard rocks he ſoften'd with perſuaſive ſong,

And ſooth'd the rivers as they roll'd along.

Yon beeches tall, that bloom near Zona, ſtill

Remain memorials of his vocal ſkill:

His lays Pieria's liſtening trees admire,

And move in meaſures to his melting lyre.

Thus Orpheus charm'd, who o'er the Biſtons reign'd,

By Chiron's art to Jaſon's intereſt gain'd

Aſterion next; whoſe ſire rejoic'd to till

Pireſian valleys by Phylleion's hill,

Born near Apidanus, who ſportive leads

His winding waters thro' the fertile meads;

There where, from far, Enipeus, ſtream divine,

And wide Apidanus their currents join.

The ſon of Elatus, of deathleſs fame,

From fair Lariſſa, Polyphemus came.

Long ſince, when in the vigour of his might,

He join'd the hardy Lapithæ in fight

Against the Centaurs; now his ſtrength declin'd

Thro' age, yet young and martial was his mind.

Not long at Phylace Iphiclus ſtaid,

Great Jaſon's uncle; pleas'd he join'd his aid,

And march'd to meet th' adventurous band from far,

Urg'd by affinity and love of war.

Nor long Admetus, who at Pheræ reign'd,

Near high Chalcodon's bleating fields remain'd.

1-4a. Beginning: the participle is formed from a verb of encompassing sense. Encompassing verbs are those that indicate both action and passion, such as βιάζομαι, δωροῦμαι, σφαγιάζομαι. Thus also ἄρχομαι signifies on the one hand 'I make a beginning from you' — for it is customary to begin with the gods: 'let us begin from Zeus' (Arat. Phaen. 1; Theocr. XVII 1) —, and on the other hand it signifies 'being inspired by you', as if being filled with divine frenzy. For poets are said to be inspired like madmen. He uses the present participle ἀρχόμενος instead of ἀρξάμενος.

5a. τοίην γὰρ Πελίῃ: τοίην is used both correlatively, by way of comparison, in relation to similes: ‘οἵη περ φύλλων γενεή, τοίη δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν’ (Ζ 146); and anaphorically: ‘ἀλλὰ καὶ ὡς τοίη περ ἐοῦσα’ (Γ 159). Here it can be used to express admiration for the speech according to its intention, and it can also be used anaphorically in relation to what follows.

It is asked why Orpheus, being weak, sailed with the heroes; because Chiron, being a seer, prophesied that they would be able to pass the Sirens if Orpheus sailed with them.

40-41. And after them Larisa: He means Larisa in Thessaly, which Acrisius founded, and which was named after Larisa, daughter of Pelasgus, as Hellanicus says (4 fr. 91 J.). There are three Larisas: the oldest is the Argive one, which is the acropolis itself; the second is in the Pelasgian part of Thessaly, which Homer (B 738) calls Argissa, being near Gyrtone, which Apollonius now mentions; there is also one near Troy, which Homer (B 840f.) mentions: 'the tribes of Pelasgians, those who [dwelt in] Larisa'. Apollonius said that Polyphemus was the son of Elatus, but Socrates (fr. 10 M. IV 498) and Euphorion (fr. 87 Scheidw.) say he was the son of Poseidon. The Lapiths were named after Lapithes, son of Apollo and the nymph Stilbe.
