136 136 Old Greek Nature Stories The crew of a certain ship, who were rough fellows, half pirates, found on the isle of Naxos, where they landed to take in water, a beautiful youth, apparently overcome by wine, so they carried him on board, intending to sell him as a slave. After a while the youth, who was really the god Bacchus, and was only mocking them, pretended to rouse himself, asking how he came there, and what they were going to do with him. One of them told him not to be afraid, but to... tell them to what port he wished to be taken, where- upon he asked them to go to Naxos, which they should find would be a very hospitable land for them. Then they swore by all the gods to do as he wished.
The steersman, who had already reproached them for their wickedness, would have steered them back to Naxos, but the rest prevented him, and one of them took the helm himself, to direct their course away from the island. The god, then, pretending to weep, besought them to fulfil their promise, but they mocked him, and with sail and oars hastened on their course.
