As he presented himself at the entrance of the cave, the nymphs, seeing a man, screamed and rushed towards the goddess to hide her with their bodies but she was taller than the rest and overtopped them all by a head.

As they were not at hand, she dashed the water into the face of the intruder, adding these words, Now go and tell, if you can, that you have seen Diana unappareled Immediately a pair of branching stag,s horns grew out of his head, his neck gained in length, his ears grew sharp-pointed, his hands became feet, his arms long legs, his body was covered with a hairy spotted hide. Fear took the place of his former boldness, and the hero fled.

First Melampus, a Spartan dog, gave the signal with his bark, then Pamphagus, Dorceus, Lelaps Theron, Nape, Tigris, and all the rest, rushed after him swifter than the wind. Over rock cliffs, through mountain gorges, he fled and they followed.Where he had often chased the stag and cheered on his pack, his pack now chased him, cheered on by huntsmen.

The air resounded with the bark of the dogs Presently one fastened on his back, another seized his shoulder.
