Royal father, Mourn not for me, the Gods must be appeased, And I in this am happy, that my death Is made atonement between those angry powers And your afflicted people, though my Innocence Never deserved such rigor from the Gods. Come good Anchises, bind me to this rock, And let my body glut th'insatiate fury Of angry Neptune, and th'offended Sun. I am a Princess, shall my father's ils Fallen on my head? If he offended Hercules, He hath made satisfaction with his life. O be not so severe, to stretch his punishment Even after life; hast thou from death redeemed me, To give me captive, and to slave my youth? Things worse then death: rather let Hercules Expose me to the rock, where first he found me, To abide the wrath both of the Sea and Sun. O! rather make my body food for monsters, Then brand my birth with bondage. Now, now, help Jove. Can you so wrong the daughter of a king, To give her as a Dukes base Concubine? Touch me not Telamon, for I divine, Ifere my brother Priam rebuild Troy, And be the king of Asia, he'll revenge This base dishonour done Hesion; And for his sister, ravished hence perforce, Do the Like outrage on some Grecian Queen, In joust revenge of my injurious wrong.
Plot summary
Plot — The Brazen Age (The Age of Brass)
Hercules and the shape-changing Achelous fight for the hand of Dejanira; Achelous transforms himself into a series of monsters, but Hercules retains the upper hand, and Achelous concedes defeat after one of his bull’s horns is pulled off (later to become the cornucopia). Hercules takes Dejanira home, and en route they meet Nessus, the only survivor of Hercules’ massacre of the centaurs. Feigning friendship, the vindictive Nessus offers to carry Dejanira across the river on his back; but when he gets to the other side, he attempts to abduct her. Hercules shoots him and, dying, he tells Dejanira that his blood is a love-charm, which she should use on Hercules if he ever seems interested in another woman; in fact, it is poisonous. Hercules travels to Egypt, where King Busiris sacrifices foreigners, and kills him on his own altar, but refuses to accept his crown. During his absence, Diana, offended that King Oeneus has sacrificed to all the gods but her, sends a boar to ravage the Calydonian countryside. The lords of Greece gather to hunt the boar. One of them is Adonis, and Venus falls in love with him; he insists on hunting, the boar kills him, and she transforms him into a flower. Atalanta joins the hunt, and Meleager falls in love with her; when the boar is killed, he is awarded its head, but he offends his companions by presenting it to her. In the ensuing fight, Meleager kills his uncles. His mother Althea is torn between her duty to her brothers and to her son. Meleager’s life is in her power, for, when he was born, the Fates visited her, pointed out a brand in the fire, and foretold that the child would live until the brand was burnt up; she rescued it and has kept it safe ever since. Now she burns the brand, and he dies; in remorse, she kills herself with his sword. Hercules joins Jason and the Argonauts on their quest to retrieve the golden fleece from Colchis. On the way they stop off at Troy, where King Laomedon faces an unwelcome obligation to sacrifice his daughter Hesione: he accepted a loan from Neptune’s priests to finance building the city walls, but failed to repay it when the work was complete, and retribution came in the form of a sea monster who must be appeased with the monthly sacrifice of a young Trojan woman; this month the fatal lot has fallen on Hesione. Laomedon offers Hercules a reward for rescuing her, but reneges after Hercules does so. Jason insists they defer Hercules’ revenge until their return from Colchis. The golden…
