What was hated is loved. To die is sweetest. So he spoke, and he bid the slave with the delicate step to kindle the wooden structure. His daughters cried out,

and threw their arms out towards their mother;

for death is most hateful to mortals when it is right before their eyes. But when the flashing force of terrible fire began to shoot through the wood,

Zeus set a dark rain-cloud over it, and began to quench the golden flame.
