He hid himself behind the branches and sat there in the semblance of the sweet-singing bird that haunts the mountains and is called Chalcis by the gods, but men call it Cymindis.

Juno then went to Gargarus, the topmost peak of Ida, and Jove, driver of the clouds, set eyes upon her.

As soon as he did so he became inflamed with the same passionate desire for her that he had felt when they had first enjoyed each other's embraces, and slept with one another without their dear parents knowing anything about it.

He went up to her and said, "What do you want that you have come hither from Olympus--and that too with neither chariot nor horses to convey you ?" Then Juno told him a lying tale and said, "I am going to the world's end, to visit Oceanus, from whom all we gods proceed, and mother Tethys; they received me into their house, took care of me, and brought me up.

I must go and see them that I may make peace between them: they have been quarrelling, and are so angry that they have not slept with one another this long time.
