The mood in which she found the blind man had wounded and troubled her. Now she renewed the bandage, saying: "How gladly I would continue to use my old hands for you, but this will be the last time in a long while that I am permitted to do this for the son of my Erigone; I must leave you to-morrow." Hermon clasped her hand closely, exclaiming with affectionate warmth: "You must not go, Thyone!
The Capture of Proserpina, a life-size marble group by his son-in-law Hermon, seemed to him no less perfect; but it exerted a peculiar influence upon his paternal heart, for, in the Demeter, he recognised Daphne, in the Proserpina her oldest daughter Erigone, who bore the name of Hermon's mother and resembled her in womanly charm.

The younger Greek was about to order his yawning servants to fill up another krater, when the conversation and drinking were interrupted by the arrival of Erigone.
