7. (1898) Classic myths in english literature

Neptune in his car. […] Not satisfied with his own waters, he called his brother Neptune to his aid. […] Seven roods he covered in his fall, and soiled his hair with dust, and his armor rang upon him. […] Immediately a pair of branching stag’s horns grew out of the huntsman’s head, his neck gained in length, his ears grew sharp-pointed, his hands became feet, his arms, his long legs, and his body were covered with a hairy spotted hide. […] She takes care, too, that his fortunes shall not suffer by his inactive life: she yields his flock increase, and guards his sheep and lambs from beasts of prey.
