Φερεκύδης ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ τῶν ἱστοριῶν, προειπὼν περὶ τοῦ Ὠκεανοῦ, ἐπιφέρει· «Ὁ δ ̓ Ἡρακλῆς ἕλκεται ἐπ ̓ αὐτὸν τὸ τόξον ὡς βαλὼν, καὶ ὁ Ἥλιος παύσασθαι κελεύει. Ὁ δὲ δείσας παύεται. Ἥλιος δὲ ἀντὶ τούτου δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὸ δέπας τὸ χρύσεον, ὃ αὐτὸν ἐφόρει σὺν ταῖς ἵπποις, ἐπὴν δύνῃ, διὰ τοῦ ὠκεανοῦ τὴν νύκτα πρὸς ἕω, ἡνίκ ̓ ἀνίσχει ὁ ἥλιος. Ἔπειτα πορεύεται ὁ Ἡρακλῆς ἐν τῷ δέπαῖ τούτῳ ἐς τὴν Ἐρύθειαν. (Καὶ) ὅτε δὲ ἦν ἐν τῷ πελάγει, Ὠκεανὸς πειρώμενος αὐτοῦ κυμαίνει τὸ δέπας φανταζόμενος· ὁ δὲ τοξεύειν αὐτὸν μέλλει· καὶ αὐτὸν δείσας Ὠκεανὸς παύσασθαι κελεύει.»
