Quests

The poem contains a lot of references to Greek mythology - 'Apion' and 'Triton'. It seems that the persona is imagining a life beyond his own, and I think this is further backed up in the title being 'Quests'. In the poem it feels like the persona has an interest in the mythology and is sad to know that he will never see the gods 'no sulking Proteus will rise'.
