For down from Taÿgetus Lynkeus gazing afar, in an oak’s hollow trunk had espied
These twain in ambush; for he of all men dwelling on earth was keenest-eyed.
And straightway thither did Idas and Lynkeus hasten with feet swift-flying,
And suddenly compassed an awful deed when low lay Kastor dying.
Yet they suffered, those sons of Aphareus, dread retribution at Zeus’ hands. Came straightway
Leda’s son Polydeukes in chase: by the tomb of their father they turned to bay.
