6th Century BC Angiography
Nothing, not his Godly power nor his famous exploits, brought
him much glory as his human weakness (and he discovered it
himself and especially he admitted to it), when, crying like
a baby, with Nessus’ chiton eating his flesh, he climbed up
to the top of Oeta, on the pyre, as if he was ascending the
highest stairs.
From there he was received by the four-horse chariot,
bringing him to the thrones of the Gods, while the Nymphs were
putting down the fire, and the frightened and amazed Poeas ran
down the slope stumbling on the roots and the rocks.
