		She burst forth from her hiding-place, and running to the hearth, raked open the fire, and snatched up poor little Prince Demophoon out of his bed of live coals, one of which he was gripping in each of his fists.
		Saying these words, she kissed the little Prince Demophoon, and sighed to think what he had lost, and took her departure without heeding Queen Metanira, who entreated her to remain, and cover up the child among the hot embers as often as she pleased.

		In Herodotus' narrative it is the unwitting prayer of the boys' mother to Hera that precipitates their death, and in this association between maternity and mortality we see a Panhellenic mythical motif that is familiar from early Greek hexameter poetry.
		An especially instructive parallel is the Eleusinian queen Metanira, who in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter inadvertently interrupts her son's immortalization by the goddess, thus condemning him to mortal existence.
		Initiation ritual is reflected not only in the setting of the narrative (the Argive festival known as the Heraia), but also in details of vocabulary and emplotment that call attention to the brothers' liminal status, poised between childhood and manhood.
