But Perseus was saved from his folly. Two great gods
were watching over him. He took ship as soon as he left
the King's hall, not daring to see his mother first and tell
her what he intended, and he sailed to Greece to learn
where the three monsters were found. He went to Delphi,
but all the priestess would say was to bid him seek the
land where men eat not Demeter's golden grain, but only
acorns. So he went to Dodona, in the land of oak trees,
where the talking oaks were which declared Zeus's will
and where the Selli lived who made their bread from
acorns.
