And by the will of Zeus Eukleios he subdued the deep-waisted maiden Dexithea, and left with her half of his people,
battle-loving men, to whom he gave the craggy land as their share; and then he sailed off to the lovely city of Knossos,

From his (Euxantius'?) family descended Argeius, who has a strong hand and the spirit of a lion, whenever the need for battle befalls him; and he is

those which Apollo, famed for the bow, bestowed on Pantheides: the art of healing,
and friendly honor towards guests. With a good share of the Graces, and admired by many men, when he ended his life he left behind five greatly-praised sons,

one of whom the son of Cronus seated on high has made a victor at the Isthmus, in return for good deeds, and has given a share of other shining garlands. I say it now and I always will: excellence has the greatest glory.

and it tends to swell a man's thoughts; but he who does well to the gods cheers his heart with a more glorious hope.
If a mortal has been granted health and can live off his own goods, he rivals the most fortunate. There is joy in all human life
