He is trying to find King Solomon's lost ring. The other bird answered, 'He will have to seek help from the Witch-maiden, who will doubtless be able to put him on the right track. If she has not got the ring herself, she knows well enough who has it. Hollenmadchen. 'But where is he to find the Witch-maiden? said the first bird.
I will find out where the nail is placed, and when I have got it into my hands you shall water your ship in peace." So they took the witch-maiden and left her alone on the shore. And she stood there all alone in her beauty till the giant strode back red-hot from head to heel. When he saw the maiden he stopped.
And she drew the nail out gently, but she poured nothing in, and instead the liquid fire streamed forth. Talus tried to leap up, crying, "You have betrayed me, false witch-maiden." But she lifted up her hands before him and sang, till he sank beneath her spell. And as he sank, the earth groaned beneath his weight and the liquid fire ran from his heel, like a stream of lava, to the sea.
So he went down in his golden chariot, and his daughters by his side, Medeia the fair witch-maiden, and Chalciope, who had been Phrixus' wife, and behind him a crowd of servants and soldiers, for he was a rich and mighty prince.
She flung herself into hide-and-seek with all the gusto and abandonment of the true artist, and as she flitted away and reappeared, flushed and laughing divinely, the pale witch-maiden seemed to fall away from her, and she moved rather as that other girl I had read about, snatched from fields of daffodil to reign in shadow below, yet permitted once again to visit earth, and light, and the frank, caressing air.
