Thus Mimnermus (b.c. 620) describes, in an interesting fragment, the Sun's homeward journey by night from west to east along the stream of Ocean. After compassionating the god for his unceasing daily toil, ever renewed as soon as the rose-fingered Dawn rises from the Ocean, he continues — For him through the billowy wave, just skimming the face of the water, Beareth a pleasant couch all wrought by the hands of Hephaestus, Hollow, of precious gold, that had wings through the craft of the artist.... Wafting the sleeping god from the land of the Maids of the Evening, Swift to the ^thiop shore where his chariot and horses are standing. RIVERS OP FABLE-LAND AND ALLEGORY. 93 A similar account is given by the poet Stesichorus (of the same date) in a stanza remarkable in the original for its stately rhythm: — Lightly the Sun-god was stepping, the radiant child of Hyperion, Down into the golden bowl, to be swept by the current of Ocean Back to the sacred depths of Night, where in murky recesses Mother and wedded wife and darling children await him.
