But since in the place where they gathered the Sun-god was not, + 

None for that stainless Divine One had drawn a lot; + 

And so, when he spake of it, Zeus was minded again + 

To cast the lots; but Helios would not: he said + 

That he saw deep under the face of the hoary main + 

A land upgrowing fast from its rocky bed, + 

A land that for myriad dwellers should bring forth bread, + 

Should rejoice in its sheep-flocks whitening hill and plain. + 
