Even the son of Alkmena, who passed to Olympus after that he

Had tracked all lands, and traversed the cliff-walled face of the surf-white sea,

Had slain the sea-rovers, and safe for voyagers made the sea’s highway.

And now by the Aegis-bearer in glorious bliss he dwelleth for aye,

As a friend is honoured of all the Immortals, with Hebe hath made affiance,

Is lord of a golden palace, is kinsman to Hera by spousal-alliance.
