(grip) -The grasp of Chiron or The grasp of Meander by Isiodos one Mortal, the king of Fthia, Pileus, defeated and married a Goddess.
Sometime in the moonlight he saw a goddess to dance with the daughters of water (Nereids : on fairies).
She was goddess Thetis who the prophecy of Prometheus forced her to marry a Mortal.
So that is not born he who would upset the powerful Zeus.
Pileus was suffered from the divine beauty but how could a Mortal have a goddess?
He asked Chiron the wisest, which lived up to Pelion.
He said: “If you saw her again dancing in the same place at night, grab her really tightly in your arms.
Do not let her as though she is changing forms, even if she become a snake, lion or fire, water to escape”.
Pileus passion for the goddess overtook and defeated patiently all her transformations of the angry, by holding her with a grasp, tightly in his arms, with the grasp of Chiron or Meander.
