Such spirits were they who dispensed the Cyprian’s gifts in the hour of the love-communion
Of Olympian Zeus and the Nymph Aegina, and born was Oenone’s king of their union,
One peerless in prowess and counsel; and many a time men prayed to behold that chief;
For of all the heroes that dwelt around him exceeding fain were their goodliest flower,
Unchallenged of any, to bow in subjection before him, obeying his sovran power,
