10. (1842) Heathen mythology

Every stream had its presiding nymph, who was thanked for her draught of water. […] Indignant at the punishment which had been awarded Æsculapius, Apollo sought the isle of Lemnos, to immolate the Cyclops to his indignation, who had forged the thunderbolt. […] ‌ In another, she had an altar, whereon they immolated all those whom shipwreck had thrown on their inhospitable shores. […] Echo, however resentful she had felt for the scorn with which he had treated her, hovered near his footsteps and witnessed this last infatuation with redoubled sorrow. […] By her he had Zetes and Calais, Cleopatra and Cheone.
