“Such was the strange hest spoken by a voice in a dream that came. + 

And to Kastaly’s oracle also have I sent to enquire of the same, + 

Whether truly the quest should be ventured; and the oracle biddeth me + 

To make ready with speed a galley to bring these home oversea. + 

This emprise do thou accomplish of free will: then, when again + 

Thou comest, I swear to yield thee the throne thereon to reign. + 

And let Zeus himself be the witness, that the oath-pledge firm may be, + 

Zeus, the ancestral father of the race of thee and me.” + 

So in peace they parted, consenting that so should the covenant stand. + 

Then Jason sent heralds to publish the Quest through every land. + 
