“…Like fire, he remained unpredictable and hard to control. Sometimes he was ingratiating and helpful, as well-mannered as a cooking-fire; at other times his mischievous, conscienceless trickery, unstoppable as forest-fire, engulfed everything it touched. His charm made him irresistible to goddesses and mortal women alike. But he was fickle, and passed from encounter to encounter as eagerly and as irrevocably as flames sweep through cornfields.”
