Inside the mouth of the river, just ere it entered Lake Le Barge, they found a hundred storm-bound boats of the argonauts.
Bandits, brigands, pirates, rovers by land and sea, these names were gloried in by the ancient heroes, who thought their profession as noble as it was lucrative. Nimrod, Theseus, Jason and his Argonauts; Jephthah, David, Cacus, Romulus, Clovis and all his Merovingian descendants; Robert Guiscard, Tancred de Hauteville, Bohemond, and most of the Norman heroes, were brigands and robbers.
And in his brazen house she stays, though sometimes at the will of Zeus she goes down into the world of men. When Polydeuces had ended the story that Castor had begun, Heracles cried out: "For the Argonauts, too, there has been a Golden Maid nay, not one, but a Golden Maid for each. Out of the jar that has been with her ye have taken forgetfulness of your honor.

The Argonauts had now won back to Greece.
Now, it was a school of argonauts then voyaging on the surface of the ocean. We could count several hundred of them. They belonged to that species of argonaut covered with protuberances and exclusive to the seas near India. These graceful mollusks were swimming backward by means of their locomotive tubes, sucking water into these tubes and then expelling it.
So the miners lived and worked and wandered along rivers and rough mountain trails on the west side of the Sierras, gathering up gold washed down by mountain streams. These Argonauts, or gold-seekers of fifty years ago, are almost all dead now, but the treasures they found made California known throughout the world.
I am doomed to receive the attentions of such men as Le Bride and Du Tremblay empty-headed coxcombs, who court my money, and to whom I am not a woman, but a sack of ducats trimmed with lace." "These gentlemen are the modern Argonauts. They are in search of the Golden Fleece," observed Marechal. "The Argonauts!" cried Suzanne, laughing. "You are right. I shall never call them anything else."
On the coast of Mysia the Argonauts stopped to obtain a supply of water, and Hylas, having gone from the vessel alone with an urn for the same purpose, takes the opportunity to bathe in the river Scaman'der, under the shadows of Mount Ida.
