He had opened the body of one of Archias's slaves, who had been nursed by Daphne, and cured him after all other physicians had given him up. When this man's voice reached Hermon, he repeated to himself the words of refusal with which the great physician had formerly declined to devote his time and skill to him. Perhaps he was right then and how differently he treated him to-day!
So it happened I myself do not know how that they also obeyed me, and I took advantage of it and induced them to begin with your house and Archias's. When they had captured the royal palaces, they intended to assail the Temple of Demeter also." "Then you thought that even the terrible affliction of blindness would not suffice to punish the man you hated?" asked Hermon.
His enthusiastic delight carried many away with him; others, especially Daphne, were filled with anxious forebodings by his conduct, and others still with grave displeasure.

Hundreds of men and women were standing around the scene of the conflagration, but no one saw the statue of Demeter, which had been removed from Hermon's studio just in time. The nomarch had had it locked up in the neighbouring temple of the goddess.

She banished the illusion by speaking to the boy spiders in the morning mean misfortune. The early dawn, which was now crimsoning the east, reminded her of the blood which, as an avenger, she must yet shed.
