"The beauty of the sun's rays is signified by the golden locks of Phoibos, _over which no razor has ever passed_; by the flowing hair which streams from the head of Kephalos, and falls over the shoulders of Perseus and Bellerophon."

"Besides the fabulous Hercules, the son of Jupiter and Alcmena, there was, in ancient times, no warlike nation who did not boast of its own particular Hercules." (Arthur Murphy, Translator of Tacitus.) CHAPTER IX. JONAH SWALLOWED BY A BIG FISH. In the book of Jonah, containing four chapters, we are told the word of the Lord came unto Jonah, saying: "Arise, go to Ninevah, that great city, and cry against it, for their wickedness is come up against me." Instead of obeying this command Jonah sought to flee "from the presence of the Lord," by going to Tarshish. For this purpose he went to _Joppa_, and there took ship for Tarshish. But the Lord sent a great wind, and there was a mighty tempest, so that the ship was likely to be broken. The mariners being afraid, they cried every one unto _his_ God; and casting lots--that they might know which of them was the cause of the storm--the lot fell upon Jonah, showing him to be the guilty man.
