Tired and uneasy, his mind filled with images of Metis and the other gods, he followed the twists and turns of the passage. A number of times the tunnel veered into a dead end and he was forced to return to the main passage. From behind the wall at one of these dead ends he could clearly hear the distant voices of gods. He pounded against the rocky surface until his hands stung, and yelled in his small, human voice, but no one seemed to hear him.

The tunnel remained more or less horizontal for some distance, then turned upward. His only awareness of time was in how tired and hungry he was becoming, but a number of hours must have elapsed. He stopped to rest more and more often. Each time images of the gods and the gnawing of hunger made him resume his journey. The path continued upward, assuming an inclination that made walking even more difficult and tiring.
