goatherd

He was the son of God and of Coronis, and was guarded by a goatherd.

He still possessed a few drachmas, and with these he could purchase what he needed from the wife and daughter of the goatherd.

It was Melanthius, his own goatherd, who was bringing the best of his flock to make savoury meat for the wooers.

Maybe he has slipped down some of those muddy ravines that the goatherd told about.
