t of the earth first
when the vulture that tore at Prometheus's liver had let fall to earth a drop
of his blood. With a Caspian shell that she had brought with her Medea
gathered the dark juice of this flower--the juice that went to make her most
potent charm. All night she went through the grove gathering the juice of
secret herbs; then she mingled them in a phial that she put away in her
girdle.
She went from that grove and along the river. When the sun shed its
first rays upon snowy Caucasus she stood outside the temple of Hecate.
She waitedbut she had not long to waitforlike the bright star Sirius
rising out of Oceansoon she saw Jason coming toward her. She made a
sign to himand he came and stood beside her in the portals of the temple.
They would have stood face to face if Medea did not have her head
bent. A blush had come upon her faceand Jason seeing itand seeing how
her head was bentknew how grievous it was to her to meet and speak to a
stranger in this way. He took her hand and he spoke to her reverentlyas
one would speak to a priestess.
