Jason on the Field of Ares
 
Soon as his shipmates bound the hawsers, Jason
vaulted ashore and swaggered to the lists,
on one arm shield and spear, and in the other
the burnished bowl of a bronze helm, brimful
of jagged fangs. Save for his blade and baldric,
he was all nude, like Ares, some would say,
or Lord Apollo of the golden sword.
