To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At night he led them secretly to the waterside, where a boat was waiting ; and before discovery they were far out at sea Yet the sons of Aegyptus 86 HYPERMESTRA * would have overtaken them, had their course been known, for the vessel of the pursuers was swift and well-manned with oarsmen, whereas the shallop which Danaus had been able to procure by stealth floated at the mercy of the winds. At some harbour, where they had been obliged to put in, news must have reached the men, or passing vessel...s may have carried it ; for, when the king landed at Apobathmoi, his frightened covey of daughters could already perceive the vermilion sails of their cousins on the sky-line* In haste they reached Lerna, whither a herald had sum- moned King Pelasgos from Argos because he would not admit them to the city without parley. The parley had been long and doubtful ; the elders were called, lest the town should not back the royal decision* Finally, fear of Zeus Hikesios and of Hermes and Artemis, the conductors of the refugees, rather than the ancient bond of kin through lo, had secured alliance between the two kings and such protection as Argos could afford ; its scattered citizens had been called by galloping messengers from their farms ; and now the small city, hardly more than a village, though walled, was in state of defence, and the Danaids enclosed in the long, low building which sufficed the monarch of that humble land* For Greece was at its beginnings, and the Pelo- ponnesus an unknown corner of the world* The lonely castle of the Atridae was not yet standing on the foothill of the mountain toward the East ; HYPERMESTRA * the Cyclopes had not yet built toward the sea the long corridors of Tiryns ; knightly tradition had not yet been implanted by the Heraclids.
