The Greek fable says that Alpheʹos, the river-god, fell in love with the nymph Arethuʹsa, who fled from him in affright. The god pursued under the sea, but the nymph was changed into a spring, which comesup in the harbour of Syracuse.
“We have seen a moustachioed Alpheos, at Ramsgate, pursue an affrighted Arethusa.”—LondonReview.
