And many other deeds were done
By Heras Wrath whose Zeuses son.
Amongst them three were greatly known
Above the rest they stood alone.
Aboard the Argo hero sailed
With Jasons crew against the gales
That gods had sent to frustrate path
When Jason provoked godlike wrath.
He help to find the Golden Fleece
That prince had sought to use as lease
To buy his kingdom back from kin
Who usurped throne as grievous sin.

Then after mighty voyage took
And seas had Hera's Wrath forsook.
He sought to keep his promise fast
He made when Atlas helped with task.
And took the sky from godlings arms
When Titan saw his soul was harm
By weight of sky so large and great
For single man to cruel a fate.
So hero sought to free his friend
From trial gave til time does end.
By taking quest that Titan gave
And many dangers hero braved
To find his brother chain to mount
For rest of days beyond all count.
There having liver ate each day
That grew at night to make him pay.

He set on quest to Titan find
To free the god from ancient binds.
That Vulcan smithy god had wrought
When charge the gods on mount had brought
Against the god who's Atlas kin
To punish Prometheus for sin.
