Now while fair Aphrodite was wending to high Olympus, to pray that a glad marriage might be accomplished for the maidens, and to Zeus she went whose joy is in the thunder, for he knows all things well, what the fates give and deny to mortal men in the meanwhile the spirits of the storm snatched away these maidens, and gave them to be handmaids to the hateful Erinyes.
No one on earth was nearer to his heart and mind than Daphne, and it often seemed as if her kind, loyal, yet firm look was resting upon him; but the memory of Ledscha also constantly forced itself upon his mind and stirred his blood.
