And close by garden vines covered with green foliage were in full bloom, lifted high in air.

And beneath them ran four fountains, ever-flowing, which Hephaestus had delved out.

One was gushing with milk, one with wine, while the third flowed with fragrant oil; and the fourth ran with water, which grew warm at the setting of the Pleiads, and in turn at their rising bubbled forth from the hollow rock, cold as crystal.

Such then were the wondrous works that the craftsman-god Hephaestus had fashioned in the palace of Cytaean Aeetes.

And he wrought for him bulls with feet of bronze, and their mouths were of bronze, and from them they breathed out a terrible flame of fire; moreover he forged a plough of unbending adamant, all in one piece, in payment of thanks to Helios, who had taken the god up in his chariot when faint from the Phlegraean fight.
