The Argonautica

BOOK II
26/81

In it the Queens of the Amazons, Otrere and Antiope, built a stone temple of Ares what time they went forth to war.

Now here an unspeakable help will come to you from the bitter sea; wherefore with kindly intent I bid you stay.

But what need is there that I should sin yet again declaring everything to the end by my prophetic art?
And beyond the island and opposite mainland dwell the Philyres: and above the Philyres are the Macrones, and after them the vast tribes of the Becheiri.

And next in order to them dwell the Sapeires, and the Byzeres have the lands adjoining to them, and beyond them at last live the warlike Colchians themselves.

But speed on in your ship, till ye touch the inmost bourne of the sea.
