He dwelled in a cave untouched by sunlight. His breath brought peace to gods and mortals, reached kings and heroes, and subdued even Zeus himself. The sleep he governed was no enemy: it offered solace, filled the mind with images, shielded from exhaustion, and returned one to the source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mod--fs_16\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYet no one can remain in his realm forever.
