Crato

As for Oroetes, he was so tender-footed that he could not stand, far less walk. That is the way with all the Medesonce they are off their horses, they go delicately on tiptoe as if they were treading on thorns. He threw himself down, and there he lay; nothing would induce him to get up; so the excellent Hermes had to pick him up and carry him to the ferry; how I laughed!
