"Titianus affects the philosopher, because when he was young long ago, that is very certain his feet trod the Stoa." "Your master, Xanthos, said that he was a very sound philosopher," Melissa put in. "Such praise is to be had cheap," said Philip, by the most influential man in the town. But his methods are old-fashioned.
For against King Poseidon stood Phoebus Apollo with his winged arrows, and against Enyalios stood Athene, bright-eyed goddess, and against Hera she of the golden shafts and echoing chase, even archer Artemis, sister of the Far-darter; and against Leto the strong Helper Hermes, and against Hephaistos the great deep-eddying River, whom gods call Xanthos and men Skamandros.
Then the horse Xanthos of glancing feet made answer unto him from beneath the yoke; and he bowed with his head, and all his mane fell from the yoke-cushion beside the yoke and touched the ground; for the white-armed goddess Hera gave him speech: "Yea verily for this hour, dread Achilles, we will still bear thee safe, yet is thy death day nigh at hand, neither shall we be cause thereof, but a mighty god, and forceful Fate.
He began to discuss the relations of Xanthos, the fair god, and Melanthos, the dark god, in Hellenic society. 'That's the trouble here, he said. 'I hope you won't draw the line even at my leper windows. They may at least ease the isolation of our two cults here.
She read: "'When first the Father of the Immortals fashioned with his divine hands the human shape: "'An image first he made of red clay from Idâ, tempered with pure water from the stream of Xanthos, and wine from the golden kylix borne by beautiful Ganymede, and it was godlike to look upon as a thing fashioned by the hands of the god.

And how Hector returning to the city bade farewell to Andromache his wife. So was the dread fray of Trojans and Achaians left to itself, and the battle swayed oft this way and that across the plain, as they aimed against each other their bronze-shod javelins, between Simoeis and the streams of Xanthos.
Even as when in heaven the stars about the bright moon shine clear to see, when the air is windless, and all the peaks appear and the tall headlands and glades, and from heaven breaketh open the infinite air, and all stars are seen, and the shepherd's heart is glad; even in like multitude between the ships and the streams of Xanthos appeared the watchfires that the Trojans kindled in front of Ilios.

We even with the wind of Zephyr, swiftest, they say, of all winds, well might run; nathless to thee thyself it is appointed to be slain in fight by a god and by a man." Now when he had thus spoken the Erinyes stayed his voice. And sore troubled did fleet-footed Achilles answer him: "Xanthos, why prophesiest thou my death? no wise behoveth it thee.
