himself he gave it the name of Thera.
But this befell after the days of Euphemus.

(ll. 1765-1772) And thence they steadily left behind long leagues of
sea and stayed on the beach of Aegina; and at once they contended in
innocent strife about the fetching of water, who first should draw it
and reach the ship. For both their need and the ceaseless breeze urged
them on. There even to this day do the youths of the Myrmidons take up
on their shoulders full-brimming jars, and with swift feet strive for
victory in the race.

(ll. 1773-1781) Be gracious, race of blessed chieftains! And may these
songs year after year be sweeter to sing among men. For now have I come
to the glorious end of your toils; for no adventure befell you as ye
came home from Aegina, and no tempest of winds opposed you; but quietly
did ye skirt the Cecropian land and Aulis inside of Euboea and the
Opuntian cities of the Locrians, and gladly did ye step forth upon the
beach of Pagasae.
