+
+THE LITTLE THAT IS MINE IN THIS LITTLE BOOK I GRATEFULLY DEDICATE TO
+PROFESSOR JOSEPH HETHERINGTON M'DANIELS TEACHER AND FRIEND
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE
+
+
+Some time ago a fellow-teacher brought the _Fabulae Faciles_ to my
+notice, and I have since used two of them each year with my class of
+beginners in Latin with increasing appreciation. Indeed, I know nothing
+better to introduce the student into the reading of connected narrative,
+and to bridge the great gulf between the beginner's book of the
+prevailing type and the Latinity of Caesar or Nepos. They are adapted to
+this use not merely by reason of their simplicity and interest, but more
+particularly by the graduating of difficulties and the large use of
+Caesarian words and phrases to which Mr. Ritchie calls attention in his
+preface.
+
+Doubtless many American teachers have become familiar with portions of
+the _Fabulae_, for they have been freely drawn upon in several Latin
+readers recently published in this country. I venture to hope that those
+who have made the acquaintance of the work in this way will welcome a
+complete edition.
+
+In England the little book has had a large use. Its pedagogical
+excellencies are well summed up in a letter addressed to Mr. Ritchie by
+the Very Rev. E.C. Wickham, formerly Head-Master of Wellington College,
+the well-known editor of Horace:--
+
+"It launches the student at once in ancient life. The old classical
+stories, simply told, seem to me much the best material for early Latin
+reading. They are abundantly interesting; they are taken for granted in
+the real literature of the language; and they can be told without
+starting the beginner on a wrong track by a barbarous mixture of ancient
+and modern ideas.
+
+"It combines, if I may say so, very skilfully, the interest of a
+continuous story, with the gradual and progressive introduction of
+constructions and idioms. These seem to me to be introduced at the right
+moment, and to be played upon long enough to make them thoroughly
+familiar."
+
+In revising Mr. Ritchie's book for the use of American schools it has
+seemed best to make extensive changes. Long vowels have been marked
+throughout, and the orthography of Latin words has been brought into
+conformity with our practice. Many liberties have been taken with the
+text itself, especially in the latter part, in the way of making it
+approximate more closely to our rather strict notions of the standards of
+model prose. A few words and uses of words not found in the prose writers
+of the republic have been retained, but nothing, it is hoped, that will
+seriously mislead the young student. I shall welcome any criticism that
+may lead to further changes in the text in future editions.
+
+The notes are entirely new, and are intended for students who have but
+just finished the beginner's book or have not yet finished it. Some notes
+may appear at first sight unnecessary or unnecessarily hard, but the
+reason for their insertion should be evident when the student begins the
+reading of classical Latin, the difficulties of which will be less likely
+to appal the beginner if some of them have been already conquered. I
+believe it a mistake to postpone all treatment of the uses of the
+subjunctive, for instance, or of the constructions of indirect discourse
+until the study of Nepos or Caesar is begun. Besides, it is easier to
+neglect notes than to supply them, and the teacher who prefers to do the
+first reading without much attention to the more difficult constructions
+will only need to tell his students to disregard certain of my notes--or
+all of them.
+
+There are no references to the grammars, but syntax has been given such
+treatment as seemed needed to supplement its treatment in the beginner's
+book. Teachers will therefore be able to postpone the use of a formal
+manual of grammar, if they so desire. Those who wish their classes to
+begin the reading of Latin at the earliest possible moment will find it
+feasible to use this book as soon as the inflections and the more
+elementary principles of syntax have been mastered.
+
+In the vocabulary, the derivation or composition and the original meaning
+of words have been indicated wherever these seemed likely to prove
+helpful. Principal parts and genitives have been given in such a way as
+to prevent misunderstanding, and at the same time emphasize the
+composition of the verb or the suffix of the noun: for example, _abscídó,
+-cídere, -cídí, -císus; aetás, -tátis_.
+
+The lists of works of English literature and of art in which the myths
+are treated are only suggestive. Occasional readings from the one and
+exhibitions of representations of the other, either in the form of
+photographs or by the stereopticon, will not only stimulate interest in
+the Latin text but aid also in creating in the student a taste for
+literature and for art.
+
+I planned at first to add some exercises for retranslation, but after
+careful consideration it has seemed not worth while. Most teachers will
+prefer not to base composition upon the Latin read at this stage, and
+those who wish to do so will find it an easy matter to prepare their own
+exercises, or can draw upon the copious exercises prepared by Mr. Ritchie
+and published separately under the title _Imitative Exercises in Easy
+Latin Prose_.
+
+In the reading of proof I have had generous help from Dr. F.K. Ball of
+The Phillips Exeter Academy, Mr. J.C. Flood of St. Mark's School, and Mr.
+A.T. Dudley of Noble and Greenough's School, Boston. The proof-sheets
+have been used with the beginner's class in this Academy, and I have thus
+been able to profit by the criticism of my associate Mr. G.B. Rogers, and
+to test the work myself. The assistance of my wife has greatly lightened
+the labor of verifying the vocabulary.

+the larger work, and is so cheap and so useful that it ought to lie on
+the desk of every teacher of Greek or Latin.
+
+
+
+
+INTRODUCTORY NOTE
+
+
+The _Fabulae Faciles_, or 'Easy Stories.' are four Greek myths retold in
+Latin, not by a Roman writer, however, but by an Englishman, who believed
+that they would afford interesting and pleasant reading for young folks
+who were just beginning the study of the Latin language. By myth is meant
+an imaginative tale that has been handed down by tradition from remote
+antiquity concerning supernatural beings and events. Such tales are
+common among all primitive peoples, and are by them accepted as true.
+They owe their origin to no single author, but grow up as the untutored
+imagination strives to explain to itself the operations of nature and the
+mysteries of life, or amuses itself with stories of the brave exploits of
+heroic ancestors.
+
+The most beautiful and delightful of all myths are those that have come
+down to us in the remains of the literature and the art of ancient Greece
+and Rome; they are also the most important to us, for many of the great
+masterpieces of English literature and of modern art have been inspired
+by them and cannot be understood and appreciated by one ignorant of
+classical mythology.
+
+Of this mythology the _Fabulae Faciles_ give but a small part. If you
+wish to know more of the subject, you should read Gayley's _The Classic
+Myths in English Literature_, Guerber's _Myths of Greece and Rome_, or
+the books by Kingsiey, Cox, Church, and Francillon mentioned earlier.
+
+
+
+
+PERSEUS
+
+
+_Acrisius, an ancient king of Argos, had been warned by an oracle that he
+should perish by the hand of his grandson. On discovering, therefore,
+that his daughter Danae had given birth to a son, Acrisius endeavored to
+escape his fate by setting both mother and child adrift on the sea. They
+were saved, however, by the help of Jupiter; and Perseus, the child, grew
+up at the court of Polydectes, king of Seriphos, an island in the Aegean
+Sea. On reaching manhood, Perseus was sent by Polydectes to fetch the
+head of Medusa, one of the Gorgons. This dangerous task he accomplished
+with the help of Apollo and Minerva, and on his way home he rescued
+Andromeda, daughter of Cepheus, from a sea-monster. Perseus then married
+Andromeda, and lived some time in the country of Cepheus. At length he
+returned to Seríphos, and turned Polydectes to stone by showing him the
+Gorgon's head; he then went to the court of Acrisius, who fled in terror
+at the news of his grandson's return. The oracle was duly fulfilled, for
+Acrisius was accidentally killed by a quoit thrown by Perseus_.
+
+
+1. _THE ARK_
+
+Haec nárrantur á poétís dé Perseó. Perseus fílius erat Iovis, máximí
+deórum; avus éius Acrisius appellábátur. Acrisius volébat Perseum nepótem
+suum necáre; nam propter óráculum puerum timébat. Comprehendit igitur
+Perseum adhúc infantem, et cum mátre in arcá lígneá inclúsit. Tum arcam
+ipsam in mare coniécit. Danaé, Perseí máter, mágnopere territa est;
+tempestás enim mágna mare turbábat. Perseus autem in sinú mátris
+dormiébat.
+
+2. _JUPITER SAVES HIS SON_
+
+Iuppiter tamen haec omnia vídit, et fílium suum serváre cónstituit.
+Tranquillum igitur fécit mare, et arcam ad ínsulam Seríphum perdúxit.
+Húius ínsulae Polydectés tum réx erat. Postquam arca ad lítus appulsa
+est, Danaé in haréná quiétem capiébat. Post breve tempus á piscátóre
+quódam reperta est, et ad domum régis Polydectis adducta est. Ille mátrem
+et puerum benígné excépit, et iís sédem tútam in fínibus suís dedit.
+Danaé hóc dónum libenter accépit, et pró tantó benefició régí grátiás
+égit.
+
+3. _PERSEUS IS SENT ON HIS TRAVELS_
+
+Perseus igitur multós annós ibi habitábat, et cum mátre suá vítam beátam
+agébat. At Polydectés Danaén mágnopere amábat, atque eam in mátrimónium
+dúcere volébat. Hóc tamen cónsilium Perseó minimé grátum erat. Polydectés
+igitur Perseum dímittere cónstituit. Tum iuvenem ad sé vocávit et haec
+díxit: "Turpe est hanc ígnávam vítam agere; iam dúdum tú aduléscéns es.
+Quó úsque híc manébis? Tempus est arma capere et virtútem praestáre. Hinc
+abí, et caput Medúsae mihi refer."
+
+4. _PERSEUS GETS HIS OUTFIT_
+
+Perseus ubi haec audívit, ex ínsulá discessit, et postquam ad continentem
+vénit, Medúsam quaesívit. Diú frústrá quaerébat; namque nátúram locí
+ígnórábat. Tandem Apolló et Minerva viam démónstrávérunt. Prímum ad
+Graeás, sorórés Medúsae, pervénit. Ab hís tálária et galeam magicam
+accépit. Apolló autem et Minerva falcem et speculum dedérunt. Tum
+postquam tálária pedibus induit, in áera ascendit. Diú per áera volábat;
+tandem tamen ad eum locum vénit ubi Medúsa cum céterís Gorgonibus
+habitábat. Gorgonés autem mónstra erant specié horribilí; capita enim
+eárum anguibus omnínó contécta erant. Manús etiam ex aere factae erant.
+
+5. _THE GORGON'S HEAD_
+
+Rés difficillima erat caput Gorgonis abscídere; éius enim cónspectú
+homines in saxum vertébantur. Propter hanc causam Minerva speculum Perseó
+dederat. Ille igitur tergum vertit, et in speculum ínspiciébat; hóc modó
+ad locum vénit ubi Medúsa dormiébat. Tum falce suá caput éius únó íctú
+abscídit. Céterae Gorgonés statim é somnó excitátae sunt, et ubi rem
+vídérunt, írá commótae sunt. Arma rapuérunt, et Perseum occídere
+volébant. Ille autem dum fugit, galeam magicam induit; et ubi hóc fécit,
+statim é cónspectú eárum évásit.
+
+6. _THE SEA-SERPENT_
+
+Post haec Perseus in fínís Aethiopum vénit. Ibi Cépheus quídam illó
+tempore régnábat. Híc Neptúnum, maris deum, ólim offenderat; Neptúnus
+autem mónstrum saevissimum míserat. Hóc cottídié é marí veniébat et
+hominés dévorábat. Ob hanc causam pavor animós omnium occupáverat.
+Cépheus igitur óráculum deí Hammónis cónsuluit, atque á deó iússus est
+fíliam mónstró trádere. Éius autem fília, nomine Andromeda, virgó
+fórmósissima erat. Cépheus ubi haec audívit, mágnum dolórem percépit.
+Volébat tamen cívís suós é tantó perículó extrahere, atque ob eam causam
+imperáta Hammónis facere cónstituit.
+
+7. _A HUMAN SACRIFICE_
+
+Tum réx diem certam díxit et omnia parávit. Ubi ea diés vénit, Andromeda
+ad lítus déducta est, et in cónspectú omnium ad rúpem adligáta est. Omnés
+fátum éius déplórábant, nec lacrimás tenébant. At subitó, dum mónstrum
+exspectant, Perseus accurrit; et ubi lacrimás vídit, causam dolóris
+quaerit. Illí rem tótam expónunt et puellam démónstrant. Dum haec
+geruntur, fremitus terribilis audítur; simul mónstrum horribilí specié
+procul cónspicitur. Éius cónspectus timórem máximum omnibus iniécit.
+Mónstrum mágná celeritáte ad lítus contendit, iamque ad locum
+appropinquábat ubi puella stábat.
+
+8. _THE RESCUE_
+
+At Perseus ubi haec vídit, gladium suum édúxit, et postquam tálária
+induit, in áera sublátus est. Tum désuper in mónstrum impetum subitó
+fécit, et gladió suó collum éius graviter vulnerávit. Mónstrum ubi sénsit
+vulnus, fremitum horribilem édidit, et sine morá tótum corpus in aquam
+mersit. Perseus dum circum lítus volat, reditum éius exspectábat. Mare
+autem intereá undique sanguine ínficitur. Post breve tempus bélua rúrsus
+caput sustulit; mox tamen á Perseó íctú gravióre vulneráta est. Tum
+iterum sé in undás mersit, neque posteá vísa est.
+
+9. _THE REWARD OF VALOR_
+
+Perseus postquam ad lítus déscendit, prímum tálária exuit; tum ad rúpem
+vénit ubi Andromeda vincta erat. Ea autem omnem spem salútis déposuerat,
+et ubi Perseus adiit, terróre paene exanimáta erat. Ille víncula statim
+solvit, et puellam patrí reddidit. Cépheus ob hanc rem máximó gaudió
+adfectus est. Meritam grátiam pró tantó benefició Perseó rettulit;
+praetereá Andromedam ipsam eí in mátrimónium dedit. Ille libenter hóc
+dónum accépit et puellam dúxit. Paucós annós cum uxóre suá in eá regióne
+habitábat, et in mágnó honóre erat apud omnís Aethiopés. Mágnopere tamen
+mátrem suam rúrsus vidére cupiébat. Tandem igitur cum uxóre suá é régnó
+Cépheí discessit.
+
+10. _POLYDECTES IS TURNED TO STONE_
+
+Postquam Perseus ad ínsulam návem appulit, sé ad locum contulit ubi máter
+ólim habitáverat, sed domum invénit vacuam et omnínó désertam. Trís diés
+per tótam ínsulam mátrem quaerébat; tandem quartó dié ad templum Diánae
+pervénit. Húc Danaé refúgerat, quod Polydectem timébat. Perseus ubi haec
+cógnóvit, írá mágná commótus est; ad régiam Polydectis sine morá
+contendit, et ubi eó vénit, statim in átrium inrúpit. Polydectés mágnó
+timóre adfectus est et fugere volébat. Dum tamen ille fugit, Perseus
+caput Medúsae mónstrávit; ille autem simul atque hóc vídit, in saxum
+versus est.
+
+II. _THE ORACLE FULFILLED_
+
+Post haec Perseus cum uxóre suá ad urbem Acrisí rediit. Ille autem ubi
+Perseum vídit, mágnó terróre adfectus est; nam propter óráculum istud
+nepótem suum adhúc timébat. In Thessaliam igitur ad urbem Lárísam statim
+refúgit, frústrá tamen; neque enim fátum suum vítávit. Post paucós annós
+réx Lárísae lúdós mágnós fécit; núntiós in omnís partís dímíserat et diem
+édíxerat. Multí ex omnibus urbibus Graeciae ad lúdós convénérunt. Ipse
+Perseus inter aliós certámen discórum iniit. At dum discum conicit, avum
+suum cású occídit; Acrisius enim inter spectátórés éius certáminis forte
+stábat.
+
+
+
+
+HERCULES
+
+
+_Hercules, a Greek hero celebrated for his great strength, was pursued
+throughout his life by the hatred of Juno. While yet an infant, he
+strangled some serpents sent by the goddess to destroy him. During his
+boyhood and youth he performed various marvelous feats of strength, and
+on reaching manhood succeeded in delivering the Thebans from the
+oppression of the Minÿae. In a fit of madness sent upon him by Juno, he
+slew his own children; and on consulting the Delphic oracle as to how he
+should cleanse himself from this crime, he was ordered to submit himself
+for twelve years to Eurystheus, king of Tiryns, and to perform whatever
+tasks were appointed him. Hercules obeyed the oracle, and during the
+twelve years of his servitude accomplished twelve extraordinary feats
+known as the Labors of Hercules. His death was caused unintentionally by
+his wife Dejanira. Hercules had shot with his poisoned arrows a centaur
+named Nessus, who had insulted Dejanira. Nessus, before he died, gave
+some of his blood to Dejanira, and told her it would act as a charm to
+secure her husband's love. Some time after, Dejanira wishing to try the
+charm soaked one of her husband's garments in the blood, not knowing
+that it was poisoned. Hercules put on the robe, and after suffering
+terrible torments died, or was carried off by his father Jupiter_.
+
+
+12. _THE HATRED OF JUNO_
+
+Herculés, Alcménae fílius, ólim in Graeciá habitábat. Híc omnium hominum
+validissimus fuisse dícitur. At Iúnó, régína deórum, Alcménam óderat et
+Herculem adhúc ínfantem necáre voluit. Mísit igitur duás serpentís
+saevissimás; hae mediá nocte in cubiculum Alcménae vénérunt, ubi Herculés
+cum frátre suó dormiébat. Nec tamen in cúnís, sed in scútó mágnó
+cubábant. Serpentés iam appropinquáverant et scútum movébant; itaque
+puerí é somnó excitátí sunt.
+
+13. _HERCULES AND THE SERPENTS_
+
+Íphiclés, fráter Herculis, mágná vóce exclámávit; sed Herculés ipse,
+fortissimus puer, haudquáquam territus est. Parvís manibus serpentís
+statim prehendit, et colla eárum mágná ví compressit. Tálí modó serpentés
+á pueró interfectae sunt. Alcména autem, máter puerórum, clámórem
+audíverat, et marítum suum é somnó excitáverat. Ille lúmen accendit et
+gladium suum rapuit; tum ad puerós properábat, sed ubi ad locum vénit,
+rem míram vídit, Herculés enim rídébat et serpentís mortuás mónstrábat.
+
+14. _THE MUSIC-LESSON_
+
+Herculés á pueró corpus suum díligenter exercébat; mágnam partem diéí in
+palaestrá cónsúmébat; didicit etiam arcum intendere et téla conicere. Hís
+exercitátiónibus vírés éius cónfírmátae sunt. In músicá etiam á Linó
+centauró érudiébátur (centaurí autem equí erant sed caput hominis
+habébant); huic tamen artí minus díligenter studébat. Híc Linus Herculem
+ólim obiúrgábat, quod nón studiósus erat; tum puer írátus citharam subitó
+rapuit, et omnibus víribus caput magistrí ínfélícis percussit. Ille íctú
+próstrátus est, et pauló post é vítá excessit, neque quisquam posteá id
+officium suscipere voluit.
+
+15. _HERCULES ESCAPES SACRIFICE_
+
+Dé Hercule haec etiam inter alia nárrantur. Ólim dum iter facit, in fínís
+Aegyptiórum vénit. Ibi réx quídam, nómine Búsíris, illó tempore régnábat;
+híc autem vir crúdélissimus hominés immoláre cónsuéverat. Herculem igitur
+corripuit et in vincula coniécit. Tum núntiós dímísit et diem sacrifició
+édíxit. Mox ea diés appetébat, et omnia ríte paráta sunt. Manús Herculis
+caténís ferreís vinctae sunt, et mola salsa in caput éius ínspersa est.
+Mós enim erat apud antíquós salem et fár capitibus victimárum impónere.
+Iam victima ad áram stábat; iam sacerdós cultrum súmpserat. Subitó tamen
+Herculés mágnó cónátú vincula perrúpit; tum íctú sacerdótem próstrávit;
+alteró régem ipsum occídit.
+
+16. _A CRUEL DEED_
+
+Herculés iam aduléscéns Thébís habitábat. Réx Thébárum, vir ígnávus,
+Creón appellábátur. Minyae, géns bellicósissima, Thébánís fínitimí erant.
+Légátí autem á Minyís ad Thébánós quotannís mittébantur; hí Thébás
+veniébant et centum bovés postulábant. Thébání enim ólim á Minyís
+superátí erant; tribúta igitur régí Minyárum quotannís pendébant. At
+Herculés cívís suós hóc stípendió líberáre cónstituit; légátós igitur
+comprehendit, atque aurís eórum abscídit. Légátí autem apud omnís gentís
+sánctí habentur.
+
+17. _THE DEFEAT OF THE MINYAE_
+
+Ergínus, réx Minyárum, ob haec vehementer írátus statim cum omnibus
+cópiís in fínís Thébánórum contendit. Creón adventum éius per
+explórátórés cógnóvit. Ipse tamen púgnáre nóluit, nam mágnó timóre
+adfectus erat; Thébání igitur Herculem imperátórem creávérunt. Ille
+núntiós in omnís partís dímísit, et cópiás coégit; tum proximó dié cum
+mágnó exercitú profectus est. Locum idóneum délégit et aciem ínstrúxit.
+Tum Thébání é superióre locó impetum in hostís fécérunt. Illí autem
+impetum sustinére nón potuérunt; itaque aciés hostium pulsa est atque in
+fugam conversa.
+
+18. _MADNESS AND MURDER_
+
+Post hóc proelium Herculés cópiás suás ad urbem redúxit. Omnés Thébání
+propter victóriam máximé gaudébant; Creón autem mágnís honóribus Herculem
+decorávit, atque fíliam suam eí in mátrimónium dedit. Herculés cum uxóre
+suá beátam vítam agébat; sed post paucós annós subitó in furórem incidit,
+atque líberós suós ipse suá manú occídit. Post breve tempus ad sánitátem
+reductus est, et propter hóc facinus mágnó dolóre adfectus est; mox ex
+urbe effúgit et in silvás sé recépit. Nólébant enim cívés sermónem cum eó
+habére.
+
+19. _HERCULES CONSULTS THE ORACLE_
+
+Herculés tantum scelus expiáre mágnopere cupiébat. Cónstituit igitur ad
+óráculum Delphicum íre; hóc enim óráculum erat omnium celeberrimum. Ibi
+templum erat Apollinis plúrimís dónís órnátum. Hóc in templó sedébat
+fémina quaedam, nómine Pýthia et cónsilium dabat iís quí ad óráculum
+veniébant. Haec autem fémina ab ipsó Apolline docébátur, et voluntátem
+deí hominibus énúntiábat. Herculés igitur, quí Apollinem praecipué
+colébat, húc vénit. Tum rem tótam exposuit, neque scelus célávit.
+
+20. _THE ORACLE'S REPLY_
+
+Ubi Herculés fínem fécit, Pýthia prímó tacébat; tandem tamen iussit eum
+ad urbem Tíryntha íre, et Eurystheí régis omnia imperáta facere. Herculés
+ubi haec audívit, ad urbem illam contendit, et Eurystheó régí sé in
+servitútem trádidit. Duodecim annós crúdélissimó Eurystheó serviébat, et
+duodecim labórés, quós ille imperáverat, cónfécit; hóc enim únó modó
+tantum scelus expiárí potuit. Dé hís labóribus plúrima á poétís scrípta
+sunt. Multa tamen quae poétae nárrant vix crédibilia sunt.
+
+21. _FIRST LABOR: THE NEMEAN LION_
+
+Prímum ab Eurystheó iússus est Herculés leónem occídere quí illó tempore
+vallem Nemeaeam reddébat ínféstam. In silvás igitur in quibus leó
+habitábat statim sé contulit. Mox feram vídit, et arcum, quem sécum
+attulerat, intendit; éius tamen pellem, quae dénsissima erat, tráicere
+nón potuit. Tum clává mágná quam semper gerébat leónem percussit, frústrá
+tamen; neque enim hóc modó eum occídere potuit. Tum démum collum mónstrí
+bracchiís suís complexus est et faucís éius omnibus víribus compressit.
+Hóc modó leó breví tempore exanimátus est; núlla enim respírandí facultás
+eí dabátur. Tum Herculés cadáver ad oppidum in umerís rettulit; et
+pellem, quam détráxerat, posteá pró veste gerébat. Omnés autem quí eam
+regiónem incolébant, ubi fámam dé morte leónis accépérunt, vehementer
+gaudébant et Herculem mágnó honóre habébant.
+
+22. _SECOND LABOR: THE LERNEAN HYDRA_
+
+Pauló post iússus est ab Eurystheó Hydram necáre. Hóc autem mónstrum erat
+cui novem erant capita. Herculés igitur cum amícó Ioláó profectus est ad
+palúdem Lernaeam, in quá Hydra habitábat. Mox mónstrum invénit, et
+quamquam rés erat mágní perículí, collum éius sinistrá prehendit. Tum
+dextrá capita novem abscídere coepit; quotiéns tamen hóc fécerat, nova
+capita exoriébantur. Diú frústrá labórábat; tandem hóc cónátú déstitit.
+Deinde arborés succídere et ígnem accendere cónstituit. Hóc celeriter
+fécit, et postquam lígna ígnem comprehendérunt, face árdente colla
+adússit, unde capita exoriébantur. Nec tamen sine mágnó labóre haec
+fécit; vénit enim auxilió Hydrae cancer ingéns, quí, dum Herculés capita
+abscídit, crúra éius mordébat. Postquam mónstrum tálí modó interfécit,
+sagittás suás sanguine éius imbuit, itaque mortiferás reddidit.
+
+23. _THIRD LABOR: THE CERYNEAN STAG_
+
+Postquam Eurystheó caedés Hydrae núntiáta est, mágnus timor animum éius
+occupávit. Iussit igitur Herculem cervum quendam ad sé referre; nóluit
+enim virum tantae audáciae in urbe retinére. Híc autem cervus, cúius
+cornua aurea fuisse tráduntur, incrédibilí fuit celeritáte. Herculés
+igitur prímó vestígiís eum in silvá persequébátur; deinde ubi cervum
+ipsum vídit, omnibus víribus currere coepit. Úsque ad vesperum currébat,
+ neque nocturnum tempus sibi ad quiétem relinquébat, frústrá tamen; núlló
+enim modó cervum cónsequí poterat. Tandem postquam tótum annum cucurrerat
+(ita tráditur), cervum cursú exanimátum cépit, et vívum ad Eurystheum
+rettulit.
+
+24. _FOURTH LABOR: THE ERYMANTHIAN BOAR_
+
+Tum véró iússus est Herculés aprum quendam capere quí illó tempore agrós
+Erymanthiós vástábat et incolás húius regiónis mágnopere terrébat.
+Herculés rem suscépit et in Arcadiam profectus est. Postquam in silvam
+paulum prógressus est, apró occurrit. Ille autem simul atque Herculem
+vídit, statim refúgit; et timóre perterritus in altam fossam sé próiécit.
+Herculés igitur laqueum quem attulerat iniécit, et summá cum difficultáte
+aprum é fossá extráxit. Ille etsí fortiter repúgnábat, núlló modó sé
+líberáre potuit; et ab Hercule ad Eurystheum vívus relátus est.
+
+25. _HERCULES AT THE CENTAUR'S CAVE_
+
+Dé quartó labóre, quem suprá nárrávimus, haec etiam tráduntur. Herculés
+dum iter in Arcadiam facit, ad eam regiónem vénit quam centaurí
+incolébant. Cum nox iam appeteret, ad spéluncam dévertit in quá centaurus
+quídam, nómine Pholus, habitábat.
+
+Ille Herculem benígné excépit et cénam parávit. At Herculés postquam
+cénávit, vínum á Pholó postulávit. Erat autem in spéluncá mágna amphora
+vínó optimó repléta, quam centaurí ibi déposuerant. Pholus igitur hóc
+vínum dare nólébat, quod reliquós centaurós timébat; núllum tamen vínum
+praeter hóc in spéluncá habébat. "Hóc vínum," inquit, "mihi commissum
+est. Sí igitur hóc dabó, centaurí mé interficient." Herculés tamen eum
+inrísit, et ipse póculum víní dé amphorá hausit.
+
+26. _THE FIGHT WITH THE CENTAURS_
+
+Simul atque amphora aperta est, odor iúcundissimus undique diffúsus est;
+vínum enim suávissimum erat. Centaurí nótum odórem sénsérunt et omnés ad
+locum convénérunt.
+
+Ubi ad spéluncam pervénérunt, mágnopere írátí erant quod Herculem
+bibentem vídérunt. Tum arma rapuérunt et Pholum interficere volébant.
+Herculés tamen in aditú spéluncae cónstitit et impetum eórum fortissimé
+sustinébat. Facés árdentís in eós coniécit; multós etiam sagittís suís
+vulnerávit. Hae autem sagittae eaedem erant quae sanguine Hydrae ólim
+imbútae erant. Omnés igitur quós ille sagittís vulneráverat venénó statim
+absúmptí sunt; reliquí autem ubi hóc vídérunt, terga vertérunt et fugá
+salútem petiérunt.
+
+27. _THE FATE OF PHOLUS_
+
+Postquam reliquí fúgérunt, Pholus ex spéluncá égressus est, et corpora
+spectábat eórum quí sagittís interfectí erant. Mágnopere autem mírátus
+est quod tam leví vulnere exanimátí erant, et causam éius reí quaerébat.
+Adiit igitur locum ubi cadáver cúiusdam centaurí iacébat, et sagittam é
+vulnere tráxit. Haec tamen síve cású síve cónsilió deórum é manibus éius
+lapsa est, et pedem leviter vulnerávit. Ille extempló dolórem gravem per
+omnia membra sénsit, et post breve tempus ví venéní exanimátus est. Mox
+Herculés, quí reliquós centaurós secútus erat, ad spéluncam rediit, et
+mágnó cum dolóre Pholum mortuum vídit. Multís cum lacrimís corpus amící
+ad sepultúram dedit; tum, postquam alterum póculum víní exhausit, somnó
+sé dedit.
+
+28. _FIFTH LABOR: THE AUGEAN STABLES_
+
+Deinde Eurystheus Herculí hunc labórem graviórem imposuit. Augéás quídam,
+quí illó tempore régnum in Élide obtinébat, tria mília boum habébat. Hí
+in stabuló ingentis mágnitúdinis inclúdébantur. Stabulum autem inluvié ac
+squálóre erat obsitum, neque enim ad hóc tempus umquam púrgátum erat. Hóc
+Herculés intrá spatium úníus diéí púrgáre iússus est. Ille, etsí rés erat
+multae operae, negótium suscépit. Prímum mágnó labóre fossam duodévígintí
+pedum dúxit, per quam flúminis aquam dé montibus ad múrum stabulí
+perdúxit. Tum postquam múrum perrúpit, aquam in stabulum immísit et tálí
+modó contrá opíniónem omnium opus cónfécit.
+
+29. _SIXTH LABOR: THE STYMPHALIAN BIRDS_
+
+Post paucós diés Herculés ad oppidum Stymphálum iter fécit; imperáverat
+enim eí Eurystheus ut avís Stymphálidés necáret. Hae avés róstra aénea
+habébant et carne hominum véscébantur. Ille postquam ad locum pervénit,
+lacum vídit; in hóc autem lacú, quí nón procul erat ab oppidó, avés
+habitábant. Núlla tamen dabátur appropinquandí facultás; lacus enim nón
+ex aquá sed é límó cónstitit. Herculés igitur neque pedibus neque lintre
+prógredí potuit.
+
+Ille cum mágnam partem diéí frústrá cónsúmpsisset, hóc cónátú déstitit et
+ad Volcánum sé contulit, ut auxilium ab eó peteret. Volcánus (quí ab
+fabrís máximé colébátur) crepundia quae ipse ex aere fabricátus erat
+Herculí dedit. Hís Herculés tam ácrem crepitum fécit ut avés perterritae
+ávolárent. Ille autem, dum ávolant, mágnum numerum eárum sagittís
+tránsfíxit.
+
+30. _SEVENTH LABOR: THE CRETAN BULL_
+
+Tum Eurystheus Herculí imperávit ut taurum quendam ferócissimum ex ínsulá
+Crétá vívum referret. Ille igitur návem cónscendit, et cum ventus idóneus
+esset, statim solvit. Cum tamen ínsulae iam appropinquáret, tanta
+tempestás subitó coorta est ut návis cursum tenére nón posset. Tantus
+autem timor animós nautárum occupávit ut paene omnem spem salútis
+dépónerent. Herculés tamen, etsí návigandí imperítus erat, haudquáquam
+territus est.
+
+Post breve tempus summa tranquillitás cónsecúta est, et nautae, quí sé ex
+timóre iam recéperant, návem incolumem ad terram appulérunt. Herculés é
+náví égressus est, et cum ad régem Crétae vénisset, causam veniendí
+docuit. Deinde, postquam omnia paráta sunt, ad eam regiónem contendit
+quam taurus vástábat. Mox taurum vídit, et quamquam rés erat mágní
+perículí, cornua éius prehendit. Tum, cum ingentí labóre mónstrum ad
+návem tráxisset, cum praedá in Graeciam rediit.
+
+31. _EIGHTH LABOR: THE MAN-EATING HORSES OF DIOMEDE_
+
+Postquam ex ínsulá Crétá rediit, Herculés ab Eurystheó in Thráciam missus
+est, ut equós Diomédis redúceret. Hí equí carne hominum véscébantur;
+Diomédés autem, vir crúdélissimus, illís obiciébat peregrínós omnís quí
+in eam regiónem vénerant. Herculés igitur mágná celeritáte in Thráciam
+contendit et ab Dioméde postulávit ut equí sibi tráderentur. Cum tamen
+ille hóc facere nóllet, Herculés írá commótus régem interfécit et cadáver
+éius equís obicí iussit.
+
+Ita míra rérum commútátió facta est; is enim quí anteá multós cum
+cruciátú necáverat ipse eódem supplició necátus est. Cum haec núntiáta
+essent, omnés quí eam regiónem incolébant máximá laetitiá adfectí sunt et
+Herculí meritam grátiam referébant. Nón modo máximís honóribus et
+praemiís eum decorávérunt sed órábant etiam ut régnum ipse susciperet.
+Ille tamen hóc facere nólébat, et cum ad mare rediisset, návem occupávit.
+Ubi omnia ad návigandum paráta sunt, equós in náví conlocávit; deinde,
+cum idóneam tempestátem nactus esset, sine morá é portú solvit, et pauló
+post equós in lítus Argolicum exposuit.
+
+32. _NINTH LABOR: THE GIRDLE OF HIPPOLYTE_
+
+Géns Amázonum dícitur omnínó ex mulieribus cónstitisse. Hae summam
+scientiam reí mílitáris habébant, et tantam virtútem adhibébant ut cum
+virís proelium committere audérent. Hippolyté, Amázonum régína, balteum
+habuit celeberrimum quem Márs eí dederat. Adméta autem, Eurystheí fília,
+fámam dé hóc balteó accéperat et eum possidére vehementer cupiébat.
+Eurystheus igitur Herculí mandávit ut cópiás cógeret et bellum Amázonibus
+ínferret. Ille núntiós in omnís partís dímísit, et cum mágna multitúdó
+convénisset, eós délégit quí máximum úsum in ré mílitárí habébant.
+
+33. _THE GIRDLE IS REFUSED_
+
+Hís virís Herculés persuásit, postquam causam itineris exposuit, ut sécum
+iter facerent. Tum cum iís quibus persuáserat návem cónscendit, et cum
+ventus idóneus esset, post paucós diés ad óstium flúminis Thermódontis
+appulit. Postquam in fínís Amázonum vénit, núntium ad Hippolytam mísit,
+quí causam veniendí docéret et balteum pósceret. Ipsa Hippolyté balteum
+trádere volébat, quod dé Herculis virtúte fámam accéperat; reliquae tamen
+Amázonés eí persuásérunt ut negáret. At Herculés, cum haec núntiáta
+essent, bellí fortúnam temptáre cónstituit.
+
+Proximó igitur dié cum cópiás édúxisset, locum idóneum délégit et hostís
+ad púgnam évocávit. Amázonés quoque cópiás suás ex castrís édúxérunt et
+nón mágnó interválló ab Hercule aciem ínstrúxérunt.
+
+34. _THE BATTLE_
+
+Palús erat nón mágna inter duo exercitús; neutrí tamen initium tránseundí
+facere volébant. Tandem Herculés sígnum dedit, et ubi palúdem tránsiit,
+proelium commísit.
+
+Amázonés impetum virórum fortissimé sustinuérunt, et contrá opíniónem
+omnium tantam virtútem praestitérunt ut multós eórum occíderint, multós
+etiam in fugam coniécerint. Virí enim novó genere púgnae perturbábantur
+nec mágnam virtútem praestábant. Herculés autem cum haec vidéret, dé suís
+fortúnís déspéráre coepit. Mílités igitur vehementer cohortátus est ut
+prístinae virtútis memoriam retinérent neu tantum dédecus admitterent,
+hostiumque impetum fortiter sustinérent; quibus verbís animós omnium ita
+éréxit ut multí etiam quí vulneribus cónfectí essent proelium sine morá
+redintegrárent.
+
+35. _THE DEFEAT OF THE AMAZONS_
+
+Diú et ácriter púgnátum est; tandem tamen ad sólis occásum tanta
+commútátió rérum facta est ut mulierés terga verterent et fugá salútem
+peterent. Multae autem vulneribus défessae dum fugiunt captae sunt, in
+quó numeró ipsa erat Hippolyté. Herculés summam clémentiam praestitit, et
+postquam balteum accépit, líbertátem omnibus captívís dedit. Tum véró
+sociós ad mare redúxit, et quod nón multum aestátis supererat, in
+Graeciam proficíscí mátúrávit. Návem igitur cónscendit, et tempestátem
+idóneam nactus statim solvit; antequam tamen in Graeciam pervénit, ad
+urbem Tróiam návem appellere cónstituit, frúmentum enim quod sécum
+habébat iam déficere coeperat.
+
+36. _LAOMEDON AND THE SEA-MONSTER_
+
+Láomedón quídam illó tempore régnum Tróiae obtinébat. Ad hunc Neptúnus et
+Apolló annó superióre vénerant, et cum Tróia nóndum moenia habéret, ad
+hóc opus auxilium obtulerant. Postquam tamen hórum auxilió moenia
+cónfecta sunt, nólébat Láomedón praemium quod próposuerat persolvere.
+
+Neptúnus igitur et Apolló ob hanc causam írátí mónstrum quoddam mísérunt
+specié horribilí, quod cottídié é marí veniébat et homines pecudésque
+vorábat. Tróiání autem timóre perterrití in urbe continébantur, et pecora
+omnia ex agrís intrá múrós compulerant. Láomedón hís rébus commótus
+óráculum cónsuluit, ac deus eí praecépit ut filiam Hésionem mónstró
+obiceret.
+
+37. _THE RESCUE OF HESIONE_
+
+Láomedón, cum hóc respónsum renúntiátum esset, mágnum dolórem percépit;
+sed tamen, ut cívís suós tantó perículó líberáret, óráculó párére
+cónstituit et diem sacrifició díxit. Sed síve cású síve cónsilió deórum
+Herculés tempore opportúnissimó Tróiam attigit; ipsó enim temporis punctó
+quó puella caténís vincta ad lítus dédúcébátur ille návem appulit.
+Herculés é náví égressus dé rébus quae gerébantur certior factus est; tum
+írá commótus ad régem sé contulit et auxilium suum obtulit. Cum réx
+libenter eí concessisset ut, sí posset, puellam líberáret, Herculés
+mónstrum interfécit; et puellam, quae iam omnem spem salútis déposuerat,
+incolumem ad patrem redúxit. Láomedón mágnó cum gaudió fíliam suam
+accépit, et Herculí pró tantó benefició meritam grátiam rettulit.
+
+38. _TENTH LABOR: THE OXEN OF GERYON_
+
+Tum véró missus est Herculés ad ínsulam Erythíam, ut bovés Géryonis
+arcesseret. Rés erat summae difficultátis, quod bovés á quódam Eurytióne
+et á cane bicipite custódiébantur. Ipse autem Géryón speciem horribilem
+praebébat; tria enim corpora inter sé coniúncta habébat. Herculés tamen
+etsí intellegébat quantum perículum esset, negótium suscépit; ac postquam
+per multás terrás iter fécit, ad eam partem Libyae pervénit quae Európae
+proxima est. Ibi in utróque lítore fretí quod Európam á Libyá dívidit
+columnás cónstituit, quae posteá Herculis Columnae appellábantur.
+
+39. _THE GOLDEN SHIP_
+
+Dum híc morátur, Herculés mágnum incommodum ex calóre sólis accipiébat;
+tandem igitur írá commótus arcum suum intendit et sólem sagittís petiit.
+Sól tamen audáciam virí tantum admírátus est ut lintrem auream eí
+dederit. Herculés hóc dónum libentissimé accépit, núllam enim návem in
+hís regiónibus inveníre potuerat. Tum lintrem dédúxit, et ventum nactus
+idóneum post breve tempus ad ínsulam pervénit. Ubi ex incolís cógnóvit
+quó in locó bovés essent, in eam partem statim profectus est et á rége
+Géryone postulávit ut bovés sibi tráderentur. Cum tamen ille hóc facere
+nóllet, Herculés et régem ipsum et Eurytiónem, quí erat ingentí
+mágnitúdine corporis, interfécit.
+
+40. _A MIRACULOUS HAIL-STORM_
+
+Tum Herculés bovés per Hispániam et Liguriam compellere cónstituit;
+postquam igitur omnia paráta sunt, bovés ex ínsulá ad continentem
+tránsportávit. Ligurés autem, géns bellicósissima, dum ille per fínís
+eórum iter facit, mágnás cópiás coégérunt atque eum longius prógredí
+prohibébant. Herculés mágnam difficultátem habébat, barbarí enim in locís
+superióribus cónstiterant et saxa télaque in eum coniciébant. Ille quidem
+paene omnem spem salútis déposuerat, sed tempore opportúnissimó Iuppiter
+imbrem lapidum ingentium é caeló démísit. Hí tantá ví cecidérunt ut
+mágnum numerum Ligurum occíderint; ipse tamen Herculés (ut in tálibus
+rébus accidere cónsuévit) nihil incommodí cépit.
+
+41. _THE PASSAGE OF THE ALPS_
+
+Postquam Ligurés hóc modó superátí sunt, Herculés quam celerrimé
+prógressus est et post paucós diés ad Alpís pervénit. Necesse erat hás
+tránsíre, ut in Ítaliam bovés ageret; rés tamen summae erat
+difficultátis. Hí enim montés, quí últeriórem á citerióre Galliá
+dívidunt, nive perenní sunt téctí; quam ob causam neque frúmentum neque
+pábulum in hís regiónibus invenírí potest. Herculés igitur antequam
+ascendere coepit, mágnam cópiam frúmentí et pábulí comparávit et hóc
+commeátú bovés onerávit. Postquam in hís rébus trís diés cónsúmpserat,
+quartó dié profectus est, et contrá omnium opíniónem bovés incolumís in
+Ítaliam trádúxit.
+
+42. _CACUS STEALS THE OXEN_
+
+Breví tempore ad flúmen Tiberim vénit. Tum tamen núlla erat urbs in eó
+locó, Róma enim nóndum condita erat. Herculés itinere fessus cónstituit
+ibi paucós diés morárí, ut sé ex labóribus recreáret. Haud procul á valle
+ubi bovés páscébantur spélunca erat, in quá Cácus, horribile mónstrum,
+tum habitábat. Híc speciem terribilem praebébat, nón modo quod ingentí
+mágnitúdine corporis erat, sed quod ígnem ex óre exspírábat. Cácus autem
+dé adventú Herculis fámam accéperat; noctú igitur vénit, et dum Herculés
+dormit, quattuor pulcherrimórum boum abripuit. Hós caudís in spéluncam
+tráxit, né Herculés é vestígiís cógnóscere posset quó in locó célátí
+essent.
+
+43. _HERCULES DISCOVERS THE THEFT_
+
+Posteró dié simul atque é somnó excitátus est, Herculés fúrtum
+animadvertit et bovés ámissós omnibus locís quaerébat. Hós tamen núsquam

+

+Óceanó, pervénit. Híc stábat vir quídam, nomine Atlás, ingentí

+

+
+Atlás autem Herculí máximé pródesse potuit; ille enim cum ipse esset

+

+
+Atlás intereá abierat et ad hortum Hesperidum, quí pauca mília passuum

+
+Postquam aurea póma ad Eurystheum reláta sunt, únus modo relinquébátur é

+Herculem mágnopere timéret, eum in aliquem locum mittere volébat unde

+dédúcébantur. Húius regiónis, quae sub terrá fuisse dícitur, réx erat
+Plútó, cui uxor erat Próserpina, Iovis et Cereris fília. Mánés igitur á
+Mercurió déductí prímum ad rípam veniébant Stygis flúminis, quó régnum

+
+Ut autem mánés Stygem hóc modó tránsierant, ad alterum veniébant flúmen,
+quod Léthé appellábátur. Ex hóc flúmine aquam bibere cógébantur; quod cum
+fécissent, rés omnís in vítá gestás é memoriá dépónébant. Dénique ad
+sédem ipsíus Plútónis veniébant, cúius introitus á cane Cerberó

+
+52. _HERCULES CROSSES THE STYX_
+
+Herculés postquam imperia Eurystheí accépit, in Lacóniam ad Taenarum
+statim sé contulit; ibi enim spélunca erat ingentí mágnitúdine, per quam,
+ut trádébátur, hominés ad Orcum déscendébant. Eó cum vénisset, ex incolís
+quaesívit quó in locó spélunca illa sita esset; quod cum cógnóvisset,
+sine morá déscendere cónstituit. Nec tamen sólus hóc iter faciébat,
+Mercurius enim et Minerva sé eí sociós adiúnxerant. Ubi ad rípam Stygis
+vénit, Herculés scapham Charontis cónscendit, ut ad últeriórem rípam
+tránsíret. Cum tamen Herculés vir esset ingentí mágnitúdine corporis,
+Charón solvere nólébat; mágnopere enim verébátur né scapha sua tantó
+pondere oneráta in medió flúmine mergerétur. Tandem tamen minís Herculis
+territus Charón scapham solvit, et eum incolumem ad últeriórem rípam
+perdúxit.
+
+53. _THE LAST LABOR IS ACCOMPLISHED_
+
+Postquam flúmen Stygem hóc modó tránsiit, Herculés in sédem ipsíus
+Plútónis vénit; et postquam causam veniendí docuit, ab eó petívit ut
+Cerberum auferre sibi licéret. Plútó, quí dé Hercule fámam accéperat, eum
+benígné excépit, et facultátem quam ille petébat libenter dedit.
+Postulávit tamen ut Herculés ipse, cum imperáta Eurystheí fécisset,
+Cerberum in Orcum rúrsus redúceret. Herculés hóc pollicitus est, et
+Cerberum, quem nón sine mágnó perículó manibus prehenderat, summó cum
+labóre ex Orcó in lúcem et ad urbem Eurystheí tráxit. Eó cum vénisset,
+tantus timor animum Eurystheí occupávit ut ex átrió statim refúgerit; cum
+autem paulum sé ex timóre recépisset, multís cum lacrimís obsecrávit
+Herculem ut mónstrum sine morá in Orcum redúceret. Síc contrá omnium
+opíniónem duodecim illí labórés quós Pýthia praecéperat intrá duodecim
+annós cónfectí sunt; quae cum ita essent, Herculés servitúte tandem
+líberátus mágnó cum gaudió Thébás rediit.
+
+54. _THE CENTAUR NESSUS_
+
+Posteá Herculés multa alia praeclára perfécit, quae nunc perscríbere
+longum est. Tandem iam aetáte próvectus Déianíram, Oeneí fíliam, in
+mátrimónium dúxit; post tamen trís annós accidit ut puerum quendam, cui
+nómen erat Eunomus, cású occíderit. Cum autem mós esset ut sí quis
+hominem cású occídisset, in exsilium íret, Herculés cum uxóre suá é
+fínibus éius cívitátis exíre mátúrávit. Dum tamen iter faciunt, ad flúmen
+quoddam pervénérunt in quó núllus póns erat; et dum quaerunt quónam modó
+flúmen tránseant, accurrit centaurus Nessus, quí viátóribus auxilium
+obtulit. Herculés igitur uxórem suam in tergum Nessí imposuit; tum ipse
+flúmen tránávit. Nessus autem paulum in aquam prógressus ad rípam subitó
+revertébátur et Déianíram auferre cónábátur. Quod cum animadvertisset
+Herculés, írá graviter commótus arcum intendit et pectus Nessí sagittá
+tránsfíxit.
+
+55. _THE POISONED ROBE_
+
+Nessus igitur sagittá Herculis tránsfíxus moriéns humí iacébat; at né
+occásiónem suí ulcíscendí dímitteret, ita locútus est: "Tú, Déianíra,
+verba morientis audí. Sí amórem marítí tuí cónserváre vís, hunc sanguinem
+quí nunc é pectore meó effunditur súme ac repóne; tum, sí umquam in
+suspíciónem tibi vénerit, vestem marítí hóc sanguine ínficiés." Haec
+locútus Nessus animam efflávit; Déianíra autem nihil malí suspicáta
+imperáta fécit. Pauló post Herculés bellum contrá Eurytum, régem
+Oechaliae, suscépit; et cum régem ipsum cum fíliís interfécisset, Iolén
+éius fíliam captívam sécum redúxit. Antequam tamen domum vénit, návem ad
+Cénaeum prómunturium appulit, et in terram égressus áram cónstituit, ut
+Ioví sacrificáret. Dum tamen sacrificium parat, Licham comitem suum domum
+mísit, quí vestem albam referret; mós enim erat apud antíquós, dum
+sacrificia facerent, albam vestem gerere. At Déianíra verita né Herculés
+amórem ergá Iolén habéret, vestem priusquam Lichae dedit, sanguine Nessí
+ínfécit.
+

+THE ARGONAUTS
+
+
+_The celebrated voyage of the Argonauts was brought about in this way.
+Pelias had expelled his brother Aeson from his kingdom in Thessaly, and
+had determined to take the life of Jason, the son of Aeson. Jason,
+however, escaped and grew up to manhood in another country. At last he
+returned to Thessaly; and Pelias, fearing that he might attempt to
+recover the kingdom, sent him to fetch the Golden Fleece from Colchis,
+supposing this to be an impossible feat. Jason with a band of heroes set
+sail in the ship Argo (called after Argus, its builder), and after many
+adventures reached Colchis. Here Aeétes, king of Colchis, who was
+unwilling to give up the Fleece, set Jason to perform what seemed an
+impossible task, namely to plough a field with certain fire-breathing
+oxen, and then to sow it with dragon's teeth. Medéa, however, the
+daughter of the king, assisted Jason by her skill in magic, first to
+perform the task appointed, and then to procure the Fleece. She then fled
+with Jason, and to delay the pursuit of her father, sacrificed her
+brother Absyrtus. After reaching Thessaly, Medéa caused the death of
+Pelias and was expelled from the country with her husband. They removed
+to Corinth, and here Medéa becoming jealous of Glauce, daughter of Creon,
+caused her death by means of a poisoned robe. She was afterward carried
+off in a chariot sent by the sun-god, and a little later Jason was
+accidentally killed_.
+
+
+57. _THE WICKED UNCLE_
+
+Erant ólim in Thessaliá duo frátrés, quórum alter Aesón, Peliás alter
+appellábátur. Aesón prímó régnum obtinuerat; at post paucós annós Peliás
+régní cupiditáte adductus nón modo frátrem suum expulit, sed etiam in
+animó habébat Iásonem, Aesonis fílium, interficere. Quídam tamen ex
+amícís Aesonis, ubi sententiam Peliae cógnóvérunt, puerum é tantó
+perículó éripere cónstituérunt. Noctú igitur Iásonem ex urbe abstulérunt,
+et cum posteró dié ad régem rediissent, eí renúntiávérunt puerum mortuum
+esse. Peliás cum hóc audívisset, etsí ré vérá mágnum gaudium percipiébat,
+speciem tamen dolóris praebuit et quae causa esset mortis quaesívit. Illí
+autem cum bene intellegerent dolórem éius falsum esse, nesció quam
+fábulam dé morte puerí finxérunt.
+
+58. _A FATEFUL ACCIDENT_
+
+Post breve tempus Peliás, veritus né régnum suum tantá ví et fraude
+occupátum ámitteret, amícum quendam Delphós mísit, quí óráculum
+cónsuleret. Ille igitur quam celerrimé Delphós sé contulit et quam ob
+causam vénisset démónstrávit. Respondit óráculum núllum esse in
+praesentiá perículum; monuit tamen Peliam ut sí quis únum calceum geréns
+veníret, eum cavéret. Post paucís annís accidit ut Peliás mágnum
+sacrificium factúrus esset; núntiós in omnís partís dímíserat et certam
+diem conveniendí díxerat. Dié cónstitútá mágnus hominum numerus undique
+ex agrís convénit; in hís autem vénit etiam Iásón, quí á pueritiá apud
+centaurum quendam habitáverat. Dum tamen iter facit, únum é calceís in
+tránseundó nesció quó flúmine ámísit.
+
+59. _THE GOLDEN FLEECE_
+
+Iásón igitur cum calceum ámissum núlló modó recipere posset, únó pede
+núdó in régiam pervénit. Quem cum Peliás vídisset, subitó timóre adfectus
+est; intelléxit enim hunc esse hominem quem óráculum démónstrávisset. Hóc
+igitur cónsilium iniit. Réx erat quídam Aeétés, quí régnum Colchidis illó
+tempore obtinébat. Huic commissum erat vellus illud aureum quod Phrixus
+ólim ibi relíquerat. Cónstituit igitur Peliás Iásoní negótium dare ut hóc
+vellere potírétur; cum enim rés esset mágní perículí, eum in itinere
+peritúrum esse spérábat. Iásonem igitur ad sé arcessívit, et eum
+cohortátus quid fierí vellet docuit. Ille etsí intellegébat rem esse
+difficillimam, negótium libenter suscépit.
+
+60. _THE BUILDING OF THE GOOD SHIP ARGO_
+
+Cum tamen Colchis multórum diérum iter ab eó locó abesset, sólus Iásón
+proficíscí nóluit. Dímísit igitur núntiós in omnís partís, quí causam
+itineris docérent et diem certam conveniendí dícerent. Intereá, postquam
+omnia quae sunt úsuí ad armandás návís comportárí iussit, negótium dedit
+Argó cuidam, quí summam scientiam nauticárum rérum habébat, ut návem
+aedificáret. In hís rébus circiter decem diés cónsúmptí sunt; Argus enim,
+quí operí praeerat, tantam díligentiam adhibébat ut né nocturnum quidem

+
+62. _A FATAL MISTAKE_
+
+Haud multó post Argonautae (ita enim appellábantur quí in istá náví
+vehébantur) ínsulam quandam, nómine Cyzicum, attigérunt; et é náví
+égressí á rége illíus regiónis hospitió exceptí sunt. Paucás hórás ibi
+commorátí ad sólis occásum rúrsus solvérunt; sed postquam pauca mília
+passuum prógressí sunt, tanta tempestás subitó coorta est ut cursum
+tenére nón possent, et in eandem partem ínsulae unde núper profectí erant
+mágnó cum perículó déicerentur. Incolae tamen, cum nox esset obscúra,
+Argonautás nón ágnóscébant, et návem inimícam vénisse arbitrátí arma
+rapuérunt et eós égredí prohibébant. Ácriter in lítore púgnátum est, et
+réx ipse, quí cum aliís décucurrerat, ab Argonautís occísus est. Mox
+tamen, cum iam dílúcésceret, sénsérunt incolae sé erráre et arma
+abiécérunt; Argonautae autem cum régem occísum esse vidérent, mágnum

+
+63. _THE LOSS OF HYLAS_
+
+Postrídié éius diéí Iásón tempestátem satis idóneam esse arbitrátus
+(summa enim tranquillitás iam cónsecúta erat), ancorás sustulit, et pauca
+mília passuum prógressus ante noctem Mýsiam attigit. Ibi paucás hórás in
+ancorís exspectávit; á nautís enim cógnóverat aquae cópiam quam sécum
+habérent iam déficere, quam ob causam quídam ex Argonautís in terram
+égressí aquam quaerébant. Hórum in numeró erat Hylás quídam, puer fórmá

+Nymphae autem quae fontem colébant, cum iuvenem vídissent, eí persuádére
+cónátae sunt ut sécum manéret; et cum ille negáret sé hóc factúrum esse,
+puerum ví abstulérunt.
+
+Comités éius postquam Hylam ámissum esse sénsérunt, mágnó dolóre adfectí
+diú frústrá quaerébant. Herculés autem et Polyphémus, quí vestígia puerí
+longius secútí erant, ubi tandem ad lítus rediérunt, Iásonem solvisse
+cógnóvérunt.
+
+64. _DIFFICULT DINING_
+
+Post haec Argonautae ad Thráciam cursum tenuérunt, et postquam ad oppidum
+Salmydéssum návem appulérunt, in terram égressí sunt. Ibi cum ab incolís
+quaesíssent quis régnum éius regiónis obtinéret, certiórés factí sunt
+Phíneum quendam tum régem esse. Cógnóvérunt etiam hunc caecum esse et
+díró quódam supplició adficí, quod ólim sé crúdélissimum in fíliós suós
+praebuisset. Cúius supplicí hóc erat genus. Missa erant á Iove mónstra
+quaedam specié horribilí, quae capita virginum, corpora volucrum
+habébant. Hae volucrés, quae Harpýiae appellábantur, Phíneó summam
+molestiam adferébant; quotiéns enim ille accubuerat, veniébant et cibum
+appositum statim auferébant. Quó factum est ut haud multum abesset quín
+Phíneus famé morerétur.
+
+65. _THE DELIVERANCE OF PHINEUS_
+
+Rés igitur male sé habébat cum Argonautae návem appulérunt. Phíneus autem
+simul atque audívit eós in suós fínís égressós esse, mágnopere gávísus
+est. Sciébat enim quantam opíniónem virtútis Argonautae habérent, nec
+dubitábat quín sibi auxilium ferrent. Núntium igitur ad návem mísit, quí
+Iásonem sociósque ad régiam vocáret. Eó cum vénissent, Phíneus
+démónstrávit quantó in perículó suae rés essent, et prómísit sé mágna
+praemia datúrum esse, sí illí remedium repperissent. Argonautae negótium
+libenter suscépérunt, et ubi hóra vénit, cum rége accubuérunt; at simul
+ac céna apposita est, Harpýiae cénáculum intrávérunt et cibum auferre
+cónábantur. Argonautae prímum gladiís volucrés petiérunt; cum tamen
+vidérent hóc nihil pródesse, Zétés et Calais, quí álís erant ínstrúctí,
+in áera sé sublevávérunt, ut désuper impetum facerent. Quod cum
+sénsissent Harpýiae, reí novitáte perterritae statim aufúgérunt, neque
+posteá umquam rediérunt.
+
+66. _THE SYMPLEGADES_
+
+Hóc factó Phíneus, ut pró tantó benefició meritam grátiam referret,
+Iásoní démónstrávit quá ratióne Symplégadés vítáre posset. Symplégadés
+autem duae erant rúpés ingentí mágnitúdine, quae á Iove positae erant eó
+cónsilió, né quis ad Colchida perveníret. Hae parvó interválló in marí
+natábant, et sí quid in medium spatium vénerat, incrédibilí celeritáte

+Iásón sublátís ancorís návem solvit, et léní ventó próvectus mox ad
+Symplégadés appropinquávit. Tum in prórá stáns columbam quam in manú
+tenébat émísit. Illa réctá viá per medium spatium volávit, et priusquam
+rúpés cónflíxérunt, incolumis évásit caudá tantum ámissá. Tum rúpés
+utrimque discessérunt; antequam tamen rúrsus concurrerent, Argonautae,
+bene intellegentés omnem spem salútis in celeritáte positam esse, summá
+ví rémís contendérunt et návem incolumem perdúxérunt. Hóc factó dís
+grátiás máximás égérunt, quórum auxilió é tantó perículó éreptí essent;
+omnés enim sciébant nón sine auxilió deórum rem tam félíciter événisse.
+
+67. _A HEAVY TASK_
+

+

+
+Médéa, régis fília, Iásonem adamávit, et ubi audívit eum tantum perículum
+subitúrum esse, rem aegré ferébat. Intellegébat enim patrem suum hunc
+labórem próposuisse eó ipsó cónsilió, ut Iásón morerétur. Quae cum ita
+essent, Médéa, quae summam scientiam medicínae habébat, hóc cónsilium

+fínitimós vénit, herbás quásdam carpsit; tum súcó expressó unguentum

+
+69. _THE SOWING OF THE DRAGON'S TEETH_
+
+Ubi is diés vénit quem réx ad arandum agrum édíxerat, Iásón ortá lúce cum
+sociís ad locum cónstitútum sé contulit. Ibi stabulum ingéns repperit, in
+quó taurí erant inclúsí; tum portís apertís taurós in lúcem tráxit, et
+summá cum difficultáte iugum imposuit. At Aeétés cum vidéret taurós nihil
+contrá Iásonem valére, mágnopere mírátus est; nesciébat enim fíliam suam
+auxilium eí dedisse. Tum Iásón omnibus aspicientibus agrum aráre coepit,
+quá in ré tantam díligentiam praebuit ut ante merídiem tótum opus
+cónfécerit. Hóc factó ad locum ubi réx sedébat adiit et dentís dracónis

+factae essent virí armátí míró quódam modó gígnerentur.
+
+70. _A STRANGE CROP_
+
+Nóndum tamen Iásón tótum opus cónfécerat; imperáverat enim eí Aeétés ut
+armátós virós quí é dentibus gígnerentur sólus interficeret. Postquam
+igitur omnís dentís in agrum sparsit, Iásón lassitúdine exanimátus quiétí
+sé trádidit, dum virí istí gígnerentur. Paucás hórás dormiébat, sub
+vesperum tamen é somnó subitó excitátus rem ita événisse ut praedictum

+corporis gladiís galeísque armátí mírum in modum é terrá oriébantur. Hóc
+cógnitó Iásón cónsilium quod dedisset Médéa nón omittendum esse putábat.
+Saxum igitur ingéns (ita enim Médéa praecéperat) in mediós virós
+coniécit. Illí undique ad locum concurrérunt, et cum quisque sibi id
+saxum nesció cúr habére vellet, mágna contróversia orta est. Mox strictís

+
+71. _THE FLIGHT OF MEDEA_
+
+Réx Aeétés ubi Iásonem labórem própositum cónfécisse cógnóvit, írá
+graviter commótus est; id enim per dolum factum esse intellegébat; nec
+dubitábat quín Médéa eí auxilium tulisset. Médéa autem cum intellegeret
+sé in mágnó fore perículó sí in régiá manéret, fugá salútem petere
+cónstituit. Omnibus rébus igitur ad fugam parátís mediá nocte ínsciente
+patre cum frátre Absyrtó évásit, et quam celerrimé ad locum ubi Argó
+subducta erat sé contulit. Eó cum vénisset, ad pedés Iásonis sé próiécit,
+et multís cum lacrimís eum obsecrávit né in tantó discrímine mulierem
+désereret quae eí tantum prófuisset. Ille quod memoriá tenébat sé per

+postquam causam veniendí audívit, hortátus est né patris íram timéret.
+Prómísit autem sé quam prímum eam in náví suá ávectúrum.
+
+72. _THE SEIZURE OF THE FLEECE_
+
+Postrídié éius diéí Iásón cum sociís suís ortá lúce návem dédúxit, et

+Médéa vellus célátum esse démónstrábat. Cum eó vénissent, Iásón in terram
+égressus est, et sociís ad mare relictís, quí praesidió náví essent, ipse
+cum Médéá in silvás sé contulit. Pauca mília passuum per silvam
+prógressus vellus quod quaerébat ex arbore suspénsum vídit. Id tamen
+auferre erat summae difficultátis; nón modo enim locus ipse égregié et
+nátúrá et arte erat múnítus, sed etiam dracó quídam specié terribilí
+arborem custódiébat. Tum Médéa, quae, ut suprá démónstrávimus, medicínae
+summam scientiam habuit, rámum quem dé arbore proximá déripuerat venénó
+ínfécit. Hóc factó ad locum appropinquávit, et dracónem, quí faucibus

+somnó oppressus dormit, Iásón vellus aureum dé arbore déripuit et cum
+Médéá quam celerrimé pedem rettulit.
+
+73. _THE RETURN TO THE ARGO_
+
+Dum autem ea geruntur, Argonautae, quí ad mare relictí erant, ánxió animó

+intellegébant. Postquam igitur ad occásum sólis frústrá exspectávérunt,

+cónspiciunt mírum in modum intrá silvás refulgéns, et mágnopere mírátí
+quae causa esset éius reí ad locum concurrunt. Quó cum vénissent, Iásoní

+

+
+Hís rébus gestís omnés sine morá návem rúrsus cónscendérunt, et sublátís

+Návem longam quam celerrimé dédúcí iussit, et mílitibus impositís

+
+75. _A FEARFUL EXPEDIENT_
+
+Erat in náví Argonautárum fílius quídam régis Aeétae, nómine Absyrtus,

+Hunc puerum Médéa interficere cónstituit eó cónsilió, ut membrís éius in

+membra fílí vídisset, nón longius prósecútúrum esse. Neque opínió Médéam
+fefellit, omnia enim ita événérunt ut spéráverat. Aeétés ubi prímum

+Éridanum pervénérunt. Aeétés nihil sibi prófutúrum esse arbitrátus sí

+
+76. _THE BARGAIN WITH PELIAS_
+
+Tandem post multa perícula Iásón in eundem locum pervénit unde profectus
+erat. Tum é náví égressus ad régem Peliam, quí régnum adhúc obtinébat,
+statim sé contulit, et vellere aureó mónstrátó ab eó postulávit ut régnum
+sibi tráderétur; Peliás enim pollicitus erat, sí Iásón vellus
+rettulisset, sé régnum eí tráditúrum. Postquam Iásón quid fierí vellet
+ostendit, Peliás prímó nihil respondit, sed diú in eádem trístitiá
+tacitus permánsit; tandem ita locútus est: "Vidés mé aetáte iam esse

+igitur mihi, dum vívam, hóc régnum obtinére; cum autem tandem décesseró,
+tú mihi succédés." Hác órátióne adductus Iásón respondit sé id factúrum
+quod ille rogásset.
+
+77. _MAGIC ARTS_
+
+Hís rébus cógnitís Médéa rem aegré tulit, et régní cupiditáte adducta

+eum rúrsus iuvenem fierí?" Tum fíliae régis ita respondérunt: "Num hóc
+fierí potest? Quis enim umquam é sene iuvenis factus est?" At Médéa
+respondit: "Mé medicínae summam habére scientiam scítis. Nunc igitur

+Tum, dum aqua effervésceret, carmen magicum cantábat. Mox ariés é váse
+exsiluit et víribus refectís per agrós currébat.
+
+78. _A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT_
+
+Dum fíliae régis hóc míráculum stupentés intuentur, Médéa ita locúta est:
+"Vidétis quantum valeat medicína. Vós igitur, sí vultis patrem vestrum in

+
+79. _A FATAL GIFT_
+
+Iásón et Médéa é Thessaliá expulsí ad urbem Corinthum vénérunt, cúius

+ULYSSES
+
+
+_Ulysses, a famous Greek hero, took a prominent part in the long siege of
+Troy. After the fall of the city, he set out with his followers on his
+homeward voyage to Ithaca, an island of which he was king; but being
+driven out of his course by northerly winds, he was compelled to touch at
+the country of the Lotus-eaters, who are supposed to have lived on the
+north coast of Africa. Some of his comrades were so delighted with the
+lotus fruit that they wished to remain in the country, but Ulysses
+compelled them to embark again and continued his voyage. He next came to
+the island of Sicily, and fell into the hands of the giant Polyphémus,
+one of the Cyclópes. After several of his comrades had been killed by
+this monster, Ulysses made his escape by stratagem and reached the
+country of the winds. Here he received the help of Aeolus, king of the
+winds, and having set sail again, arrived within sight of Ithaca; but
+owing to the folly of his companions, the winds became suddenly adverse
+and he was again driven back. He then touched at an island which was the
+home of Circe, a powerful enchantress, who exercised her charms on his
+companions and turned them into swine. By the help of the god Mercury,
+Ulysses not only escaped this fate himself, but also forced Circe to
+restore her victims to human shape. After staying a year with Circe, he
+again set out and eventually reached his home_.

+
+Postquam tamen pauca mília passuum á lítore Tróiae progressí sunt, tanta

+
+Postquam eá tótá nocte rémís contendérunt, postrídié ad terram ígnótam

+cum duodecim é sociís in terram égressus loca explóráre cónstituit.
+Paulum á lítore prógressí ad spéluncam ingentem pervénérunt, quam

+
+85. _THE GIANT'S SUPPER_
+
+Cyclópés autem pástórés erant quídam quí ínsulam Siciliam et praecipué

+
+Graecí igitur simul ac mónstrum vídérunt, terróre paene exanimátí in

+Polyphémus autem (síc enim Cyclóps appellábátur) pecus suum in spéluncam

+

+
+Dum haec geruntur, Graecórum animós tantus terror occupávit ut né vócem

+
+Ortá lúce Polyphémus iam é somnó excitátus idem quod hesternó dié fécit;

+Tum, cum saxum ámóvisset, ipse cum pecore suó ex spéluncá prógressus est;

+

+
+Sub vesperum Polyphémus ad spéluncam rediit, et eódem modó quó anteá

+salútí) sécum attulerat; et postquam mágnum póculum vínó complévit,

+cum quaesívisset quó nómine Ulixés appellárétur, ille respondit sé
+Néminem appellarí; quod cum audívisset, Polyphémus ita locútus est:
+"Hanc, tibi grátiam pró tantó benefició referam; té postrémum omnium
+dévorábó." Hóc cum díxisset, cibó vínóque gravis recubuit et breví
+tempore somnó oppressus est. Tum Ulixés sociís convocátís, "Habémus,"
+inquit, "quam petiimus facultátem; né igitur tantam occásiónem reí
+gerendae omittámus."
+
+89. _THE BLINDING OF POLYPHEMUS_
+
+Hác órátióne habitá, postquam extrémum pálum ígní calefécit, oculum
+Polyphémí dormientis ferventí lígnó perfódit; quó factó omnés in díversás
+spéluncae partís sé abdidérunt. At ille subitó illó dolóre oculí é somnó
+excitátus clámórem terribilem sustulit, et dum per spéluncam errat,
+Ulixem manú prehendere cónábátur; cum tamen iam omnínó caecus esset,
+núlló modó hóc efficere potuit. Intereá reliquí Cyclópés clámóre audító
+undique ad spéluncam convénérunt, et ad introitum adstantés quid
+Polyphémus ageret quaesívérunt, et quam ob causam tantum clámórem
+sustulisset. Ille respondit sé graviter vulnerátum esse et mágnó dolóre
+adficí. Cum tamen posteá quaesívissent quis eí vim intulisset, respondit
+ille Néminem id fécisse; quibus rébus audítís únus é Cyclópibus: "At sí
+némó," inquit, "té vulnerávit, haud dubium est quín cónsilió deórum,
+quibus resistere nec possumus nec volumus, hóc supplició adficiáris." Hóc
+cum díxisset, abiérunt Cyclópés eum in ínsániam incidisse arbitrátí.
+
+90. _THE ESCAPE_
+
+Polyphémus ubi sociós suós abiisse sénsit, furóre atque ámentiá impulsus
+Ulixem iterum quaerere coepit; tandem cum portam invénisset, saxum quó
+obstrúcta erat ámóvit, ut pecus in agrós exíret. Tum ipse in introitú
+cónsédit, et ut quaeque ovis ad hunc locum vénerat, éius tergum manibus
+tráctábat, né virí inter ovís exíre possent. Quod cum animadvertisset
+Ulixés, intelléxit omnem spem salútis in doló magis quam in virtúte póní.
+Itaque hóc cónsilium iniit. Prímum trís quás vidit pinguissimás ex ovibus
+délégit, quás cum inter sé viminibus coniúnxisset, únum ex sociís suís
+ventribus eárum ita subiécit ut omnínó latéret; deinde ovís hominem sécum
+ferentís ad portam égit. Id accidit quod fore suspicátus erat. Polyphémus
+enim postquam terga ovium manibus tráctávit, eás praeteríre passus est.
+Ulixés ubi rem tam félíciter événisse vídit, omnís sociós suós ex órdine
+eódem modó émísit; quó factó ipse novissimus évásit.
+
+91. _OUT OF DANGER_
+
+Iís rébus ita cónfectís, Ulixés veritus né Polyphémus fraudem sentíret,
+cum sociís quam celerrimé ad lítus contendit; quó cum vénissent, ab iís
+quí náví praesidió relictí erant mágná cum laetitiá exceptí sunt. Hí enim
+cum ánxiís animís iam trís diés continuós reditum eórum exspectávissent,
+eós in aliquod perículum mágnum incidisse (id quidem quod erat)
+suspicátí, ipsí auxiliandí causá égredí parábant. Tum Ulixés nón satis
+tútum arbitrátus in eó locó manére, quam celerrimé profisíscí cónstituit.
+Iussit igitur omnís návem cónscendere, et ancorís sublátís paulum á
+lítore in altum próvectus est. Tum mágná vóce exclámávit: "Tú, Polyphéme,
+quí iúra hospití spernis, iústam et débitam poenam immánitátis tuae
+solvistí." Hác vóce audítá Polyphémus írá vehementer commótus ad mare sé
+contulit, et ubi návem paulum á lítore remótam esse intelléxit, saxum
+ingéns manú correptum in eam partem coniécit unde vócem veníre sénsit.
+Graecí autem, etsí nón multum áfuit quín submergerentur, núlló damnó
+acceptó cursum tenuérunt.
+
+92. _THE COUNTRY OF THE WINDS_
+
+Pauca mília passuum ab eó locó prógressus Ulixés ad ínsulam Aeoliam návem
+appulit. Haec patria erat ventórum,
+
+ "Híc vástó réx Aeolus antró
+ luctantís ventós tempestátésque sonórás
+ imperió premit ac vinclís et carcere frénat."
+
+Ibi réx ipse Graecós hospitió excépit, atque iís persuásit ut ad
+recuperandás vírís paucós diés in eá regióne commorárentur. Septimó dié
+cum socií é labóribus sé recépissent, Ulixés, né anní tempore á
+návigátióne exclúderétur, sibi sine morá proficíscendum statuit. Tum
+Aeolus, quí sciébat Ulixem cupidissimum esse patriae videndae, eí iam
+profectúró mágnum saccum é corió cónfectum dedit, in quó ventós omnís
+praeter únum inclúserat. Zephyrum tantum solverat, quod ille ventus ab
+ínsulá Aeoliá ad Ithacam návigantí est secundus. Ulixés hóc dónum
+libenter accépit, et grátiís pró tantó benefició áctís saccum ad málum
+adligávit. Tum omnibus rébus ad profectiónem parátís merídiánó feré
+tempore é portú solvit.
+
+93. _THE WIND-BAG_
+
+Novem diés secundissimó ventó cursum tenuérunt, iamque in cónspectum
+patriae suae vénerant, cum Ulixés lassitúdine cónfectus (ipse enim
+gubernábat) ad quiétem capiendam recubuit. At socií, quí iam dúdum
+mírábantur quid in illó saccó inclúsum esset, cum ducem somnó oppressum
+vidérent, tantam occásiónem nón omittendam arbitrátí sunt; crédébant enim
+aurum et argentum ibi esse céláta. Itaque spé lucrí adductí saccum sine
+morá solvérunt, quó factó ventí
+
+ "velut ágmine factó
+ quá data porta ruunt, et terrás turbine perflant."
+
+Híc tanta tempestás subitó coorta est ut illí cursum tenére nón possent
+sed in eandem partem unde erant profectí referrentur. Ulixés é somnó
+excitátus quó in locó rés esset statim intelléxit; saccum solútum,
+Ithacam post tergum relictam vídit. Tum véró írá vehementer exársit
+sociósque obiúrgábat quod cupiditáte pecúniae adductí spem patriae
+videndae próiécissent.
+
+94. _A DRAWING OF LOTS_
+
+Breví spatió intermissó Graecí ínsulae cuidam appropinquávérunt in quá
+Circé, fília Sólis, habitábat. Quó cum návem appulisset, Ulixés in terram
+frúmentandí causá égrediendum esse statuit; nam cógnóverat frúmentum quod
+in náví habérent iam déficere. Sociís igitur ad sé convocátís quó in locó
+rés esset et quid fierí vellet ostendit. Cum tamen omnés memoriá tenérent
+quam crúdélí morte necátí essent ií quí núper é náví égressí essent, némó
+repertus est quí hóc negótium suscipere vellet. Quae cum ita essent, rés
+ad contróversiam déducta est. Tandem Ulixés cónsénsú omnium sociós in
+duás partís dívísit, quárum alterí Eurylochus, vir summae virtútis,
+alterí ipse praeesse. Tum hí inter sé sortítí sunt uter in terram
+égrederétur. Hóc factó, Eurylochó sorte événit ut cum duóbus et vígintí
+sociís rem susciperet.
+
+95. _THE HOUSE OF THE ENCHANTRESS_
+
+Hís rébus ita cónstitútis ií quí sortítí erant in interiórem partem
+ínsulae profectí sunt. Tantus tamen timor animós eórum occupáverat ut
+nihil dubitárent quín mortí obviam írent. Vix quidem poterant ií quí in
+náví relictí erant lacrimás tenére; crédébant enim sé sociós suós numquam
+post hóc tempus vísúrós. Illí autem aliquantum itineris prógressí ad
+víllam quandam pervénérunt summá mágnificentiá aedificátam, cúius ad
+óstium cum adiissent, cantum dulcissimum audívérunt. Tanta autem fuit
+éius vócis dulcédó ut núlló modó retinérí possent quín iánuam pulsárent.
+Hóc factó ipsa Circé forás exiit, et summá cum benígnitáte omnís in
+hospitium invítávit. Eurylochus ínsidiás sibi comparárí suspicátus forís
+exspectáre cónstituit, sed reliquí reí novitáte adductí intrávérunt.
+Cénam mágnificam omnibus rébus ínstrúctam invénérunt et iússú dominae
+libentissimé accubuérunt. At Circé vínum quod serví apposuérunt
+medicámentó quódam miscuerat; quod cum Graecí bibissent, graví somnó
+subitó oppressí sunt.
+
+96. _THE CHARM_
+
+Tum Circé, quae artis magicae summam scientiam habébat, baculó aureó quod
+gerébat capita eórum tetigit; quó factó omnés in porcós subitó conversí
+sunt. Intereá Eurylochus ígnárus quid in aedibus agerétur ad óstium
+sedébat; postquam tamen ad sólis occásum ánxió animó et sollicitó
+exspectávit, sólus ad návem regredí cónstituit. Eó cum vénisset,
+sollicitúdine ac timóre tam perturbátus fuit ut quae vídisset vix
+dílúcidé nárráre posset. Ulixés autem satis intelléxit sociós suós in
+perículó versárí, et gladió correptó Eurylochó imperávit ut sine morá
+viam ad istam domum démónstráret. Ille tamen multís cum lacrimís Ulixem
+complexus obsecráre coepit né in tantum perículum sé committeret; sí quid
+gravius eí accidisset, omnium salútem in summó discrímine futúram. Ulixés
+autem respondit sé néminem invítum sécum adductúrum; eí licére, sí
+mállet, in náví manére; sé ipsum sine úlló praesidió rem susceptúrum. Hóc
+cum mágná vóce díxisset, é náví désiluit et núlló sequente sólus in viam
+sé dedit.
+
+97. _THE COUNTERCHARM_
+
+Aliquantum itineris prógressus ad víllam mágnificam pervénit, quam cum
+oculís perlústrásset, statim intráre statuit; intelléxit enim hanc esse
+eandem domum dé quá Eurylochus mentiónem fécisset. At cum in eó esset ut
+límen intráret, subitó eí obviam stetit aduléscéns fórmá pulcherrimá
+aureum baculum geréns. Híc Ulixem iam domum intrantem manú corripuit et,
+"Quó ruis?" inquit. "Nónne scís hanc esse Circés domum? Híc inclúsí sunt
+amící tuí ex húmáná specié in porcós conversí. Num vís ipse in eandem
+calamitátem veníre?" Ulixés simul ac vócem audívit, deum Mercurium
+ágnóvit; núllís tamen precibus ab ínstitútó cónsilió déterrérí potuit.
+Quod cum Mercurius sénsisset, herbam quandam eí dedit, quam contrá
+carmina multum valére dícébat. "Hanc cape," inquit, "et ubi Circé té
+baculó tetigerit, tú strictó gladió impetum in eam vidé ut faciás."
+Mercurius postquam fínem loquendí fécit,
+
+ "mortálís vísús medió sermóne relíquit,
+ et procul in tenuem ex oculís évánuit auram."
+
+98. _THE ENCHANTRESS IS FOILED_
+
+Breví intermissó spatió Ulixés ad omnia perícula subeunda parátus iánuam
+pulsávit, et foribus patefactís ab ipsá Circé benígné exceptus est. Omnia
+eódem modó atque anteá facta sunt. Cénam mágnificé ínstrúctam vídit et
+accumbere iússus est. Mox, ubi famés cibó dépulsa est, Circé póculum
+aureum vínó replétum Ulixí dedit. Ille etsí suspicátus est venénum sibi
+parátum esse, póculum exhausit; quó factó Circé postquam caput éius
+baculó tetigit, ea verba locúta est quibus sociós éius anteá in porcós
+converterat. Rés tamen omnínó aliter événit atque illa spéráverat. Tanta
+enim vís erat éius herbae quam Ulixí Mercurius dederat ut neque venénum
+neque verba quicquam efficere possent. Ulixés autem, ut eí praeceptum
+erat, gladió strictó impetum in eam fécit et mortem minitábátur. Circé
+cum artem suam nihil valére sénsisset, multís cum lacrimís eum obsecráre
+coepit né sibi vítam adimeret.
+
+99. _MEN ONCE MORE_
+
+Ulixés autem ubi sénsit eam timóre perterritam esse, postulávit ut sociós
+suós sine morá in húmánam speciem redúceret (certior enim factus erat á
+deó Mercurió eós in porcós conversós esse); nisi id factum esset, sé
+débitás poenás súmptúrum ostendit. Circé hís rébus graviter commóta eí ad
+pedés sé próiécit, et multís cum lacrimís iúre iúrandó cónfírmávit sé
+quae ille imperásset omnia factúram. Tum porcós in átrium immittí iussit.
+Illí dató sígnó inruérunt, et cum ducem suum ágnóvissent, mágnó dolóre
+adfectí sunt quod núlló modó eum dé rébus suís certiórem facere poterant.
+Circé tamen unguentó quódam corpora eórum únxit; quó factó sunt omnés
+statim in húmánam speciem reductí. Mágnó cum gaudió Ulixés suós amícós
+ágnóvit, et núntium ad lítus mísit, quí reliquís Graecís sociós receptós

+contulérunt; quó cum vénissent, úniversí laetitiae sé dédidérunt.

+
+NOTES
+
+
+PERSEUS
+
+_The numbers refer to the page of text and the line on the page
+respectively_.
+
+
+3.6. Danaé. Many proper names in this book are words borrowed by Latin
+from Greek, and have forms not given in the regular Latin declensions. It
+will not be necessary to learn the declension of such words.
+
+7. enim. This word commonly stands second in its clause.
+
+8. turbábat. Notice that this verb and dormiébat below are in the
+imperfect tense to denote a state of things existing at the past time
+indicated by territa est.
+
+autem. This word has the same peculiarity of position as enim; so also
+igitur, which occurs in line 11.
+
+12. Seríphum. Notice that Latin says 'the island Seriphos,' but English
+more often 'the island of Seriphos.'
+
+13. appulsa est. Postquam is regularly followed by the perfect or present
+indicative, but the English translation usually requires the pluperfect.
+
+15. quódam. _Quídam_ means 'certain' as applied to some person or thing
+not fully described, while _certus_ means 'certain' in the sense of
+'determined.' 'sure,'
+
+ad domum. This means 'to the house'; 'to be brought home' would be _domum
+addúcí_, without the preposition.
+
+16. Ille is often used, as here, when the subject is changed to a person
+mentioned in the preceding sentence. In this use it is to be translated
+'he.'
+
+18. benefició. See the derivation of this word in the vocabulary.
+
+20. multós annós. Duration of time is regularly expressed in the
+accusative case.
+
+22. eam. Latin has no pronoun of the third person, and _is_ often takes
+the place of one; it is then to be translated 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' 'they,'
+according to its form.
+
+25. haec. The literal translation would be 'these things,' but we must
+say 'thus' or 'as follows.'
+
+4. 1. es. With iam dúdum and similar expressions of duration, the present
+indicative is often used to denote an action or state begun in the past
+but continuing in the present. The English equivalent is the perfect.
+
+híc, is not the pronoun, but an adverb.
+
+2. mihi. This dative may be translated 'for me.' How would 'to me' with a
+verb of motion be put?
+
+3. refer. _Dícó, dúcó, fació_, and _feró_ have the imperative forms _díc,
+dúc, fac_, and _fer_, instead of _díce_, etc.
+
+4. Perseus. When the subordinate and the principal clause of a Latin
+sentence have the same subject, this usually stands first, followed by
+the subordinate clause.
+
+haec. Here a different rendering is required from that suggested in the
+note on 3, 25. What is it? Notice that it is necessary to know the
+literal significance of the Latin words, but that the translation must
+often be something quite different if it is to be acceptable English. The
+rule for translation is: Discover the exact meaning of the original; then
+express the same idea correctly and, if you can, elegantly in the
+language into which you are translating.
+
+5. continentem. What is the derivation of this word?
+
+vénit. Is this present or perfect? How do you know?
+
+8. Graeás. The Graeae were three old women who had one eye and one
+tooth in common, and took turns in using them.
+
+9. galeam. This belonged to Pluto, the god of the underworld of the dead,
+and whosoever wore it was invisible. The story is that Perseus compelled
+the Graeae to tell him how to obtain the helps to his enterprise by
+seizing their tooth and eye.
+
+11. pedibus, 'on his feet,' dative of indirect object.
+
+induit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+áera. _Áér_ is borrowed from Greek, and keeps this Greek form for its
+accusative.
+
+12. volábat. Distinguish between _voló, voláre_, and _voló, velle_.
+
+13. céterís. _Céterí_ is used to denote all not already named ('the
+other'), while _alií_ denotes some of those who have not been already
+named ('other').
+
+14. specié horribilí, 'of terrible appearance.' ablative of description.
+A noun never stands alone in this construction,
+
+eárum. See the note on 3, 22.
+
+15. contécta. This and factae below are used as predicate adjectives, not
+to form the pluperfect passive with erant. Translate, therefore, 'were
+covered.' not 'had been covered.'
+
+18. vertébantur. The imperfect here denotes customary action, one of its
+regular uses.
+
+19. Ille. See the note on 3, 16.
+
+20. hóc modó, ablative of manner.
+
+21. vénit, dormiébat. The perfect simply expresses an action which took
+place in past time, the imperfect tells of a state of things existing at
+that past time.
+
+25. fugit. When dum means 'while,' 'as,' it is followed by the present
+indicative, even when used of past events.
+
+26. fécit. Like _postquam_, ubi has the present or perfect indicative,
+where English would use the pluperfect.
+
+5. 2. illó tempore, ablative of time.
+
+régnábat. Observe the force of the tense, and try to find the reason for
+each change of tense in this paragraph.
+
+Híc. This must here be translated simply 'he.' Compare the use of Ille,
+3, 16.
+
+4. veniébat. See the note on 4, 18.
+
+6. omnium, 'of all men.' or 'of all.' The adjective is used as a noun, as
+in the second of the English expressions.
+
+óráculum. It was believed in antiquity that the will of the gods and a
+knowledge of future events might be learned at certain shrines, of which
+the most famous were those of Apollo at Delphi, of Zeus or Jupiter at
+Dodona, and of Hammon in Egypt. Hammon was really an Egyptian god,
+represented as having the horns of a ram, but he was identified by the
+Greeks with Zeus and by the Romans with Jupiter.
+
+7. fíliam. Where there is no ambiguity, the possessive is often omitted
+in Latin.
+
+8. autem, often, as here, simply introduces an explanation ('now'),
+
+nómine, 'by name.'
+
+9. Cépheus. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+10. cívís suós, 'his subjects.'
+
+13. certam. See the note on _quódam_, 3, 15. _Diés_ is regularly
+masculine, but when used of an appointed day it is often feminine.
+
+omnia, 'all things,' 'everything,' or 'all.' See the note on _omnium_,
+line 6.
+
+16. déplórábant, tenébant. Be careful to show the meaning of the tense by
+your translation.
+
+18. quaerit. The present is often used of a past action instead of the
+perfect, to bring the action more vividly before us as if it were taking
+place now. This is called the historical present.
+
+19. haec geruntur, 'this is going on.'
+
+20. horribilí. Here the adjective is made emphatic by being put before
+its noun; in 4, 14 the same effect is gained by putting _horribilí_ last
+in its clause.
+
+22. omnibus, dative of indirect object after the compound verb
+_(in+iació)_. Translate 'inspired in all,' but the literal meaning is
+'threw into all.'
+
+26. induit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+áera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+6. 2. suó, éius. Distinguish carefully between these words. _Suus_ is
+used of something belonging to the subject, _éius_ of something belonging
+to some other person or thing just mentioned.
+
+5. volat. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+7. sustulit. Notice that the perfect forms of _tolló_ are the same as
+those of _sufferó (sub + feró)_, 'endure.'
+
+8. neque, here to be translated 'and ... not.' _Neque_ is thus used
+regularly for _et nón_.
+
+13. exanimáta, used here as a predicate adjective.
+
+16. rettulit. 'To give thanks' or 'thank' is usually _grátiás agere_, as
+in 3, 19; _grátiam referre_ means 'to show one's gratitude,' 'to
+recompense' or 'requite.'
+
+18. dúxit. This word came to mean 'marry,' because the bridegroom 'led'
+his bride in a wedding procession to his own home. It will be seen,
+therefore, that it can be used only of the man.
+
+Paucós annós. See the note on 3, 20.
+
+20. omnís. What does the quantity of the _i_ tell you about the form?
+
+7. 1. quod, not the relative pronoun, but a conjunction.
+
+3. eó, the adverb.
+
+in átrium. Although inrúpit means 'burst _into_,' the preposition is
+nevertheless required with the noun to express the place into which he
+burst.
+
+6. ille. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+8. Acrisí. In Nepos, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, the genitive singular of
+second-declension nouns in _-ius_ and _-ium_ ends in _í_, not _ií_; but
+the nominative plural ends in _ií_, and the dative and ablative plural in
+_iís_.
+
+10. istud. Remember that _iste_ is commonly used of something connected
+with the person addressed. Here the meaning may be 'that oracle I told
+you of.' See 3, 4.
+
+12. Lárísam. See the note on 3, 12.
+
+neque enim, 'for ... not,' as if simply _nón enim_, but Latin uses _neque_
+to connect the clauses.
+
+14. in omnís partís, 'in all directions' or 'in every direction.'
+
+15. Multí. See the note on _omnium_, 5, 6.
+
+17. discórum. The discus was a round, flat piece of stone or metal, and
+the athletes tried to see who could throw it farthest.
+
+18. cású. This is one of the ablatives of manner that do not take _cum_.
+
+19. stábat. Notice the tense.
+
+
+HERCULES
+
+9. 2. omnium hominum. This means 'all men' in the sense of 'all mankind.'
+
+3. óderat. _Ódí_ is perfect in form, but present in meaning; and the
+pluperfect has in like manner the force of an imperfect.
+ 5. mediá nocte, 'in the middle of the night,' 'in the dead of night.'
+
+7. Nec tamen, 'not ... however.' See the note on _neque enim,_ 7, 12.
+
+8. movébant. Contrast this tense with appropinquáverant and excitátí
+sunt.
+
+13. Tálí modó = _hóc modó_, 4, 20.
+
+20. á pueró, 'from a boy,' 'from boyhood.'
+
+exercébat, the imperfect of customary action, as is also cónsúmébat.
+
+24. autem. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+25. artí, dative of indirect object with the intransitive verb studébat.
+
+10. 2. omnibus víribus, 'with all his might,' ablative of manner.
+
+3. é vítá. Notice that the preposition denoting separation appears both
+with the noun and in the verb. Compare _in átrium inrúpit_, 7, 3.
+
+4. neque quisquam, 'and not any one,' _i.e_. 'and no one.' _Quisquam_ is
+used chiefly in negative sentences.
+
+5. voluit, 'was willing.'
+
+7. facit. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+8. nómine. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+9. vir crúdélissimus, not 'cruelest man,' but 'most cruel man.' The
+superlative is often thus used to denote simply a high degree of the
+quality.
+
+cónsuéverat. Inceptive verbs end in _scó_ and denote the beginning of an
+action or state. The perfect and pluperfect of such verbs often represent
+the state of things resulting from the completion of the action, and are
+then to be translated as present and imperfect respectively. So
+_cónsuéscó_ = 'I am becoming accustomed,' _cónsuéví_ = 'I have become
+accustomed' or 'am accustomed,' _cónsuéveram_ = 'I had become accustomed'
+or 'was accustomed.'
+
+11. sacrifició, 'for the sacrifice,' dative of purpose.
+
+ea. Why is diés feminine here? See the note on _certam_, 5, 13.
+
+12. omnia. See the note on 5, 13.
+
+15. capitibus, dative of indirect object after the compound verb _(in +
+pónó)_.
+
+16. iam. The omission of the conjunction that would naturally join this
+clause with the preceding, and the repetition of _iam_, which thus in a
+way connects the two clauses, reflect the imminence of the danger and
+heighten our anxiety for the hero. Observe too how the tenses of the
+verbs contribute to the vividness of the picture. We see Hercules at the
+altar and the priest, knife in hand, about to give the fatal blow.
+
+18. alteró. Supply _íctú_.
+
+19. Thébís, locative case. Notice that some names of towns are plural in
+form.
+
+21. Thébánís, dative with the adjective fínitimí.
+
+autem, 'now.'
+
+22. Thébás. Names of towns are used without a preposition to express the
+place to which.
+
+23. veniébant, postulábant, imperfect of customary action.
+
+25. cívís suós, 'his fellow-citizens.' Compare 5, 10.
+
+hóc stípendió, ablative of separation.
+
+27. atque. This conjunction adds an important statement by way of
+supplement. Here the meaning is something like 'and not only that, but.'
+
+11. 11. conversa. _Est_ and _sunt_ are frequently not expressed with the
+perfect participle.
+
+17. suós ipse suá. Notice how the enormity of the crime is emphasized by
+the use of all these words repeating the same idea.
+
+23. óráculum Delphicum. See the note on 5, 6.
+
+hóc óráculum omnium = _hóc omnium óráculórum_.
+
+25. Hóc in templó. Monosyllabic prepositions often stand between the
+noun and an adjective modifying it.
+
+12. 1. quí. Remember that the relative pronoun agrees in gender, number,
+and person with its antecedent; that its case depends upon its use. How
+are the person and number of quí shown?
+
+2. hominibus. See the note on 9, 2.
+
+4. neque. See the note on 6, 8.
+
+7. Tíryntha. This is a Greek accusative form. See the note on _áera_,
+4, 11.
+
+10. Duodecim annós, accusative of duration of time.
+
+11. Eurystheó. The English verb 'serve' is transitive, but _servió_ ('be
+subject to') is intransitive and takes an indirect object.
+
+14. quae. See the note on line 1. What is the case of quae?
+
+16. Prímum is chiefly used in enumeration, prímó (line 6) in contrasting
+an action or state with one that follows it.
+
+19. sécum. The preposition _cum_ follows and is joined to the reflexive
+and personal pronouns, usually also to the relative pronoun.
+
+22. neque enim. See the note on 7, 12.
+
+26. respírandí, the genitive of the gerund. It modifies facultás. The
+gerund corresponds to the English verbal noun in _-ing_.
+
+13. 5. Hóc. We might expect _haec_ referring to Hydram, but a
+demonstrative pronoun is commonly attracted into the gender of the
+predicate noun (here mónstrum).
+
+cui erant, 'which had,' literally 'to which there were.' This
+construction is found only with _sum_. It is called the dative of
+possession.
+
+8. rés. In rendering this word choose always with great freedom the most
+suitable English word.
+
+13. 8. mágní perículí. We say 'one of great danger.'
+
+9. éius. What possessive would be used to modify sinistrá?
+
+11. hóc cónátú, ablative of separation.
+
+14. comprehendérunt. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+unde = _ex quibus_.
+
+16. auxilió Hydrae, 'to the aid of the Hydra,' but literally for aid
+(i.e. as aid) to the Hydra,' for Hydrae is dative. This is called the
+double dative construction, auxilió the dative of purpose, and Hydrae the
+dative of reference, i.e. the dative denoting the person interested.
+
+17. abscídit. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+mordébat, 'kept biting,' the imperfect of repeated action.
+
+18. tálí modó. See the note on 9, 13.
+
+interfécit. We have now had several verbs meaning 'kill.' _Interfició_ is
+the most general of these; _necó_ (line 4) is used of killing by unusual
+or cruel means, as by poison; _occídó_ (12, 23) is most commonly used of
+the 'cutting down' of an enemy in battle.
+
+19. reddidit, as well as imbuit, has sagittás for its object, but we must
+translate as if we had _eás_ with reddidit.
+
+22. ad sé. Compare this construction with the use of the dative in 4, 2.
+Notice that sé does not refer to Herculem, the subject of referre, but to
+Eurystheus, the subject of Iussit. When the reflexive thus refers to the
+subject of the principal verb rather than to the subject of the
+subordinate verb with which it s directly connected, it is called
+indirect.
+
+23. tantae audáciae. The genitive of description, like the ablative of
+description, consists always of a noun with some modifying word. Compare
+_specié horribilí_, 4, 14.
+
+autem. Compare 5, 8 and 10, 21.
+
+24. incrédibilí celeritáte, ablative of description.
+
+25. vestígiís, ablative of means.
+
+26. ipsum, contrasts cervum with vestígiís.
+
+27. omnibus víribus. See the note on 10, 2.
+
+14. 1. currébat, 'he kept running.'
+
+sibi, dative of reference. It need not be translated,
+
+ad quiétem, 'for rest.' Purpose is frequently thus expressed by _ad_.
+
+3. cucurrerat. The pluperfect is sometimes used with postquam when the
+lapse of time is denoted.
+
+4. cursú, ablative of cause.
+
+exanimátum = _quí exanimátus erat_. The participle is often equivalent to
+a relative clause.
+
+5. rettulit. See the note on 13, 19.
+
+8. rem. See the note on _rés_, 13, 8.
+
+10. apró, dative of indirect object after the compound verb (_ob +
+curró_).
+
+11. tímóre perterritus. It is not necessary to translate both words.
+
+13. iniécit, i.e. upon the boar.
+
+summá cum difficultáte. Compare this with _omnibus víribus_, 13, 27, and
+notice that _cum_ may be omitted with the ablative of manner when there
+is an adjective. For the position of cum, see the note on 11, 25.
+
+15. ad Eurystheum. We are told elsewhere that Eurystheus was so
+frightened when he saw the boar that he hid in a cask.
+
+vívus. Why have we the nominative here, but the accusative (vívum) in
+line 5?
+
+17. quartó. The capture of the Erymanthian boar is usually given as the
+third labor and the capture of the Cerynean stag as the fourth.
+
+nárrávimus. The writer sometimes uses the first person plural in speaking
+of himself, instead of the first person singular. This is called the
+plural of modesty, and is the same as the English usage.
+
+18. in Arcadiam. How does this differ in meaning from _in Arcadiá_?
+
+20. appeteret. The subjunctive introduced by cum, 'since,' may express
+the reason for the action of the main verb.
+
+23. Herculés. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+26. quod, conjunction, not pronoun.
+
+reliquós centaurós, 'the rest of the centaurs,' 'the other centaurs.'
+Compare _mediá nocte_, 9, 5. Notice that _reliquí_ means about the same
+as _céterí_, and see the note on 4, 13.
+
+28. inquit, historical present. This verb is used parenthetically with
+direct quotations.
+
+15. 1. dabó. Notice that Latin is more exact than English in the use of
+the future tense in subordinate clauses. In English we often use the
+present in the subordinate clause and leave it to the principal verb to
+show that the time is future.
+
+7. pervénérunt. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+10. cónstitit, from _cónsistó_, not _cónstó_.
+
+16. fugá. Latin says 'by flight,' not 'in flight.'
+
+17. ex spéluncá. See the note on 10, 3.
+
+21. locum, the direct object of Adiit, which is here transitive. We might
+also have _ad locum_ with _adeó_ used intransitively.
+
+16. 4. Herculí. See the note on 10, 15.
+
+labórem. This labor is usually given as the sixth, the destruction of the
+Stymphalian birds as the fifth.
+
+6. tria mília boum, 'three thousand cattle,' literally 'three thousands
+of cattle.' The partitive genitive is the regular construction with the
+plural _mília_, but the singular _mílle_ is commonly used as an
+adjective, like English 'thousand.' Thus 'one thousand cattle' would be
+_mílle bovés_.
+
+7. ingentís mágnitúdinis. See the note on _tantae audáciae_, 13, 23.
+
+8. neque enim umquam, 'for ... never.' See the note on _neque enim_, 7,
+12.
+
+11. multae operae. See the note on _mágní perículí_, 13, 8.
+
+12. duodévígintí pedum, i.e. in width.
+
+dúxit. This word is used with reference to the progress of work on a wall
+or ditch from one end of it to the other.
+
+15. opus. Compare this word with operae and labóre, line 12. _Labor_ is
+used of heavy or exhausting labor, _opera_ of voluntary exertion or
+effort, _opus_ of that upon which one labors or of the completed work.
+
+17. imperáverat. This verb takes an indirect object to express the person
+ordered (eí). The action commanded is expressed by the subjunctive in a
+clause introduced by _ut_ and used as the object of _imperó_ (ut
+necáret). Notice that this may be translated 'that he should kill' or 'to
+kill.' Compare now the construction with _iubeó_, 13, 22, with which the
+command is expressed by the accusative and infinitive (_Herculem
+referre_).
+
+19. carne. _Véscor_ is an intransitive verb and governs the ablative.
+
+22. appropinquandí. See the note on 12, 26.
+
+23. cónstitit, from _cónstó_. Compare 15, 10.
+
+pedibus, 'on foot,' literally 'by his feet.'
+
+25. consúmpsisset. The imperfect and pluperfect tenses of the subjunctive
+are used with cum, 'when,' to describe the circumstances of the action of
+the main verb. Compare 14, 20, and the note.
+
+26. hóc cónátú. See the note on 13, 11.
+
+27. peteret. The subjunctive is used with ut to express purpose. The best
+translation is usually the infinitive ('to ask'), but the Latin
+infinitive is not used in model prose to express purpose.
+
+17. 3. ávolárent. This is not subjunctive of purpose, but of result, as
+is indicated by tam.
+
+6. ex. Compare this with _ab_, 16, 21, and _dé_, 16, 13. We commonly
+translate all of these 'from,' but the real meanings are 'out of,' 'away
+from,' and 'down from' respectively.
+
+Crétá. See the note on 3, 12.
+
+7. esset. See the note on 14, 20.
+
+8. ínsulae, dative with the compound verb (_ad_ + _propinquó_).
+
+appropinquáret. See the note on 16, 25.
+
+9. tanta ... ut. Notice how frequently the clause of result is connected
+with a demonstrative word in the main clause.
+
+12. návigandí imperítus, 'ignorant of navigation,' 'inexperienced in
+sailing.' See the note on 12, 26.
+
+21. cum, the conjunction.
+
+ingentí labóre. See the note on _summá cum difficultáte_, 14, 13.
+
+25. ut redúceret. See the note on 16, 27.
+
+26. carne. See the note on 16, 19.
+
+véscébantur, imperfect of customary action.
+
+18. 3. ut tráderentur. Notice that _postuló_, like _imperó_, takes an
+object-clause introduced by _ut_ and having its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+sibi, the indirect reflexive. See the note on 13, 22.
+
+4. írá ... interfécit, 'became furiously angry and killed the king,'
+literally 'moved by wrath killed the king.' The participle is frequently
+best rendered by a finite verb.
+
+18. 4. cadáver. The subject of an infinitive stands in the accusative
+case. We might translate here 'and gave orders that his body should be
+thrown.' See the note on 16, 17.
+
+6. míra rérum commútátió. When a noun has both an adjective and a
+genitive modifier, this order of the words is common.
+
+7. cum cruciátú, ablative of manner.
+
+necáverat. See the note on _interfécit_, 13, 18.
+
+10. referébant. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+modo. This is the adverb, not a case of _modus_, the dative and ablative
+singular of which would be _modó_. Make a practice of carefully observing
+the quantity of vowels.
+
+11. órábant. Notice that this verb, like _imperó_ and _postuló_, takes
+_ut_ and the subjunctive.
+
+14. ad návigandum. See the note on _ad quiétem_, 14, 1.
+
+16. post, here an adverb of time.
+
+18. dícitur. Notice that the Latin construction is personal ('the nation
+is said to have consisted'), while English commonly has the impersonal
+construction ('it is said that the nation consisted').
+
+19. reí mílitáris, 'the art of war.'
+
+25. mandávit. See the note on 16, 17.
+
+26. Amázonibus, dative after the compound verb.
+
+19. 1. persuásit. Notice that this verb governs the same construction
+that we have already found used with _imperó_ and _mandó_.
+
+2. sécum. See the note on 12, 19.
+
+5. appulit. Supply _návem_.
+
+6. docéret. A clause of purpose is frequently introduced by a relative.
+Translate like the _ut_-clause of purpose, here 'to make known,'
+literally 'who was to make known.'
+
+14. mágnó interválló, ablative of degree of difference.
+
+16. nón mágna. The effect of the position of these words may be
+reproduced by translating 'but not a large one.'
+
+neutrí. The plural is used because the reference is to two parties, each
+composed of several individuals. 'Neither' of two individuals would be
+_neuter_.
+
+17. volébant, dedit. Consider the tenses. Each army waited for some time
+for the other to cross; finally Hercules gave the signal.
+
+22. occíderint. The perfect subjunctive is sometimes used in result
+clauses after a past tense in the principal clause. This is contrary to
+the general principle of the sequence of tenses, which requires the
+imperfect or pluperfect subjunctive after a past tense, the present or
+perfect subjunctive after a present or future tense.
+
+23. Virí. Compare this with _hominibus_, 12, 2.
+
+24. praestábant. Compare the tense with praestitérunt, line 21.
+
+27. neu. As _neque_ or _nec_ is used for 'and not,' so _néve_ or _neu_
+for 'and that not' in an object-clause or a clause of purpose.
+
+20. 1. quibus, 'and by these,' The relative is much used in Latin to
+connect a new sentence with the one preceding. When so used, it is
+generally best rendered by 'and' or 'but' and a demonstrative or personal
+pronoun.
+
+ita ... ut. See the note on 17, 9.
+
+2. essent, most easily explained as the subjunctive of attraction. By
+this is meant that the verb is attracted into the mood of the clause upon
+which it depends.
+
+4. púgnátum est, 'the battle raged' or 'they fought,' literally 'it was
+fought,' Intransitive verbs are often thus used impersonally in the
+passive, with the subject implied in the verb itself, as púgnátum
+est = _púgna púgnáta est_.
+
+11. aestátis, partitive genitive. Notice that multum is used as a noun.
+
+13. nactus. The perfect active participle is wanting in Latin, but the
+perfect participle of deponent verbs is active in meaning.
+
+24. specié horribilí. See the note on 4, 14.
+
+26. timóre perterrití. See the note on 14, 11.
+
+continébantur, 'kept themselves shut up.' This is the so-called reflexive
+use of the passive, in which the subject is represented as acting upon
+itself.
+
+pecora. This word is used of herds of cattle, pecudés (line 25) of single
+animals, especially sheep.
+
+28. commótus cónsuluit. See the note on 18, 4.
+
+21. 3. líberáret. See the note on 16, 27.
+
+óráculó. Notice that párére is intransitive and has the dative of
+indirect object, while 'obey' is transitive. It may help to understand
+the Latin construction if you translate such verbs as _páreó_ by
+intransitives, here 'to submit to.'
+
+4. sacrifició. See the note on 10, 11.
+
+5. ipsó temporis punctó quó, 'at the very moment when.'
+
+8. égressus. See the note on 20, 13.
+
+dé rébus ... factus est, 'was informed of the state of things,' literally
+'was made more certain about the things which were being done.' In what
+gender, number, person, and case is quae? Give a reason for each.
+
+11. posset. The subjunctive is used because the words of the king are
+quoted indirectly. He said _sí potes_, 'if you can.'
+
+19. Ipse. Notice the use of this word in contrasts, frequently, as here,
+of a person with that which belongs to him or with his subordinates.
+
+20. inter sé, 'to one another.'
+
+22. esset, subjunctive in an indirect question. The direct form would be
+_Quantum perículum est_? ('How great is the danger?'). multás terrás,
+just as we say 'many lands,'
+
+23. Európae. Compare _Thébánís_, 10, 21.
+
+24. in utróque lítore, 'on each shore,' 'on both shores.'
+
+25. columnás. The ancients believed that the Rock of Gibraltar was the
+pillar set up by Hercules on the European side.
+
+22. 4. tantum, an adverb.
+
+5. dederit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+9. quó in locó. See the note on 11, 25. essent. See the note on 21, 22.
+
+10. sibi, the indirect reflexive.
+
+12. et ... et, 'both ... and.'
+
+18. prógredí, 'from proceeding.'
+
+19. prohibébant, 'attempted to prevent,' imperfect of attempted action.
+Notice that the use of the imperfect to express customary, repeated, or
+attempted action follows naturally from its use to denote action going on
+in past time. The present, the tense which denotes action going on in
+present time, has the same special uses.
+
+20. barbarí. This word was used by the Greeks of all other peoples; by
+the Romans it was used of all but the Greeks and themselves.
+
+24. cecidérunt. Let the quantity of the _i_ tell you whether this comes
+from _cadó_ or _caedó_. Is occíderint a compound of _cadó_ or _caedó_?
+
+25. in tálibus rébus, _i.e_. when a god intervenes in behalf of his
+favorite.
+
+26. nihil incommodí, 'no harm,' literally 'nothing of harm'; incommodí is
+partitive genitive.
+
+23. 2. quam celerrimé, 'as rapidly as possible.' _Quam_ with the
+superlative expresses the highest possible degree.
+
+3. Necesse, predicate adjective with erat, the subject being hás
+tránsíre.
+
+5. citerióre. The Romans called upper Italy _Gallia Citerior_, 'Hither
+Gaul,' because it was occupied by Gallic tribes.
+
+6. perenní. Learn the derivation of this word. The meaning of a word may
+often be seen most easily and remembered most surely by noticing its
+derivation,
+
+téctí, used as predicate adjective.
+
+9. cópiam. Notice carefully the meaning of this word. In what sense have
+we found the plural _cópiae_ used?
+
+10. rébus, 'preparations.' See the note on _rés_, 13, 8.
+
+cónsúmpserat. See the note on 14, 3.
+
+11. omnium opíniónem. Hitherto we have had _opíniónem omnium_, but here
+_omnium_ is made emphatic by being placed first.
+
+15. itinere, ablative of cause.
+
+fessus, 'since he was weary.' Notice that a Latin adjective or participle
+must often be expanded into a clause in the translation.
+
+16. Haud = _nón_. It modifies a single word, usually an adjective or
+adverb.
+
+19. modo. See the note on 18, 10.
+
+ingentí mágnitúdine. Compare _ingentis mágnitúdinis_, 16, 7.
+
+23. boum. Learn the declension of this word from the vocabulary.
+
+24. né. A negative clause of purpose is introduced by _né_.
+
+24. 2. omnibus locís. _Locus_ modified by an adjective is often used
+without _in_ in the ablative of place.
+
+3. núsquam. We say 'could not find anywhere,' but Latin prefers to
+combine the negative with another word.
+
+6. reliquís. See the note on _reliquós centaurós_, 14, 26.
+
+7. é bóbus. Compare _boum_, 23, 23. With únus the ablative with _ex_ or
+_dé_ is commonly used instead of the partitive genitive.
+
+16. neque quicquam. See the note on 10, 4.
+
+21. móre suó, 'according to his custom.'
+
+turbátus, 'was confused ... and.' See the note on _íra ... interfécit_,
+18, 4.
+
+22. in. See the note on _in átrium_, 7, 3.
+
+25. respírandí. See the note on 12, 26.
+
+25. 2. quam quós, for _quam eós quós_.
+
+11. cui. See the note on _cui erant_, 13, 5.
+
+12. Herculí imperáverat, 'had enjoined upon Hercules.'
+
+17. Eurystheó. See the note on _óráculó_, 21, 3.
+
+19. quaesíverat. With this verb the person of whom the question is asked
+is expressed in the ablative with _ab, dé_, or _ex_.
+
+23. orbis terrárum, 'of the world,' literally 'of the circle of lands.'
+
+26. umerís suís, ablative of means, but we say 'on his shoulders.'
+
+né. See the note on 23, 24.
+
+décideret. Notice the force of the prefix _dé_.
+
+27. mírátus, 'wondering at.' The perfect participle of deponent verbs is
+often best rendered into English by a present participle.
+
+26. 3. Herculí, dative with pródesse.
+
+ille. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+4. certó, the adverb.
+
+6. vénisset. What would the form be in the direct question?
+
+inquit. See the note on 14, 28.
+
+7. fíliábus. To avoid confusion with the corresponding forms of
+_deus_ and _fílius_, the dative and ablative plural of _dea_ and _fília_
+sometimes end in _ábus_.
+
+sponte. This noun is practically confined to the ablative singular, in
+prose usually with _meá, tuá_, or _suá_, 'of my, your, his own accord.'
+
+9. posset, subjunctive because indirect. The thought of Hercules was _sí
+potest_.
+
+11. abesset. This also is indirect, quoting _absum_.
+
+12. umerís. See the note on 25, 26.
+
+17. pauca mília. Extent of space, like duration of time, is expressed by
+the accusative,
+
+passuum. See the note on 16, 6.
+
+21. ita ut, 'as'
+
+accépissent. Hitherto we have found the indicative in causal clauses
+introduced by quod. The subjunctive indicates that the reason is quoted;
+the Hesperides said _quod accépimus_.
+
+28. grátiás égit. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+27. 2. é labóribus. See the note on 24, 7.
+
+3. Herculí praecéperat = _Herculí imperáverat_, 25, 12.
+
+5. posset, subjunctive because it quotes the thought of Eurystheus,
+_poterit_.
+
+6. ut ... traheret. This clause is not itself the object of dedit, but in
+apposition with the object (Negótium).
+
+7. omnium, partitive genitive.
+
+11. nárrámus. The present is sometimes used with antequam to express
+future action, as in English with 'before.' See the note on 15, 1.
+
+aliénum, predicate adjective, the subject of vidétur being pauca ...
+própónere. In the passive _videó_ may mean 'be seen,' but it usually
+means 'seem.'
+
+13. qui ídem, 'which also,' literally 'which the same.'
+
+14. Ut, 'when.'
+
+15. dédúcébantur, customary action.
+
+19. Stygis flúminis. We say 'river Styx,' but 'Mississippi River.'
+
+quó, ablative of means.
+
+20. necesse. See the note on 23, 3.
+
+possent. The subjunctive is used with antequam to denote that the action
+is expected or intended.
+
+21. in. We say 'over.'
+
+25. prius. Notice that Latin is here more exact than English, using the
+comparative because only two actions are spoken of.
+
+dedisset, subjunctive because indirect. Charon said _nisi dederis_
+(future perfect), _nón tránsveham_, 'unless you first give (shall have
+given), I will not carry you across.'
+
+28. 1. mortuí, used as a noun, 'of the dead man.'
+
+eó cónsilió, 'with this purpose,' 'to this end.' The clause ut ... posset
+is in apposition with cónsilió.
+
+6. Ut. Compare 27, 14.
+
+8. quod cum fécissent, 'and when they had done this.' See the note on
+_quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+13. Stábant, 'there stood.' What is its subject?
+
+15. mortuís, dative of indirect object.
+
+et. Notice that ambiguity is avoided by a change of conjunctions, et
+connecting the clauses and -que connecting praemia and poenás. Of these
+connectives, _et_ connects two ideas that are independent of each other
+and of equal importance; _-que_ denotes a close connection, often of two
+words that together express a single idea; while _ac_ or _atque_ (see
+line 18) adds something of greater importance.
+
+18. et. _Multí_ is often joined by _et_ to another adjective modifying
+the same noun.
+
+24. ex. Compare 25, 18.
+
+27. sé sociós, direct object and predicate accusative respectively.
+
+29. 3. né. After verbs of fearing _né_ must be rendered 'that,' _ut_,
+'that not.' Notice, however, that the negative idea is as clearly present
+here as in the other clauses introduced by _né_ that we have met, for
+Charon wishes that the thing may not happen.
+
+13. fécisset, indirect for _féceris_.
+
+18. refúgerit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+23. quae cum ita essent, 'and this being the case,' 'and so,' literally
+'since which things were so.'
+
+24. líberátus. See the note on _írá ... interfécit_, 18, 4.
+
+25. quae, object of perscríbere, which is the subject of est; longum is
+predicate adjective.
+
+26. est. We say 'would be.'
+
+aetáte, ablative of specification. Translate 'when he was now advanced in
+age' (_i.e_. 'late in life'), and see the note on _fessus_, 23, 15.
+
+30. 1. accidit. This is one of several impersonal verbs which take for
+their subject a clause of result (ut ... occíderit).
+
+3. ut ... íret, a clause of result; used as the subject of esset, mós
+being predicate.
+
+quis. After _sí, nisi, né_, and _num_, this is not the interrogative, but
+an indefinite pronoun ('any one'),
+
+occídisset, indirect for _occíderit_, which would be the form used in the
+laws; or it may be explained as subjunctive by attraction to íret.
+
+7. tránseant, not 'they are crossing,' but 'they are to cross.' The
+direct form would be _tránseámus ('How in the world are we to get
+across?'), subjunctive because the question expresses doubt. This is
+called the deliberative subjunctive.
+
+10. prógressus, 'after advancing.'
+
+11. revertébátur. This verb is deponent in the present, imperfect, and
+future.
+
+16. humí, locative, 'on the ground.'
+
+né. See the note on 23, 24.
+
+suí ulcíscendí, 'of avenging himself.' This is called the gerundive
+construction. It is regularly used instead of the gerund when the gerund
+would have an accusative object (_sé ulcíscendí_). Notice that the gerund
+is a verbal noun; the gerundive a verbal adjective, agreeing with its
+noun like any other adjective.
+
+17. morientis, 'of a dying man.' Compare _mortuí_, 28, 1.
+
+18. vís, from _voló_.
+
+20. sí ... vénerit, 'if you ever suspect him.' What is the literal
+meaning? Notice that we use the present, while Latin by the use of the
+future perfect indicates that the action is to precede that of the main
+clause.
+
+21. inficiés. The future indicative is sometimes used, as in English, for
+the imperative.
+
+22. nihil malí. See the note on 22, 26.
+
+suspicáta. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+25. Iolén, fíliam, captívam, direct object, appositive, and predicate
+accusative respectively.
+
+26. domum. See the note on _ad domum_, 3, 15.
+
+31. 1. referret. See the note on 19, 6.
+
+2. facerent, subjunctive by attraction. The verb of a clause dependent
+upon an infinitive is put in the subjunctive when the two clauses are
+closely connected in thought. We have already met this construction in
+the case of dependence upon a subjunctive; see the note on 20, 2.
+
+gerere. Compare 30, 3. Such phrases as _mós est_ may have as subject
+either an infinitive or a clause of result.
+
+3. verita. This participle is regularly rendered as present,
+
+né. See the note on 29, 3.
+
+4. vestem. Notice that the position of this word helps to make it clear
+that it is the object of ínfécit as well as of dedit.
+
+5. suspicáns. This does not differ appreciably in force from _suspicáta_,
+30, 22.
+
+8. exanimátus, 'beside himself.'
+
+14. succenderent. Notice the force of the prefix _sub_ in this word and
+in subdidit below.
+
+15. inductus, 'moved.'
+
+
+THE ARGONAUTS
+
+33. 1. alter ... alter, 'one ... the other.' Remember that this word is
+used to denote one of two given persons or things. We have in this
+passage an instance of the chiastic order, in which variety and emphasis
+are gained by reversing the position of the words in the second of two
+similar expressions. Here the two names are brought together by this
+device.
+
+3. régní, objective genitive, _i.e_. a genitive used to denote the object
+of the feeling cupiditáte.
+
+6. ex amícís. Quídam, like _únus_, commonly has _ex_ or _dé_ and the
+ablative, instead of the partitive genitive.
+
+10. puerum mortuum esse, 'that the boy was dead,' literally 'the boy to
+be dead.' This is indirect for _Puer mortuus est_, 'The boy is dead.'
+Notice carefully what changes Latin makes in quoting such a statement
+indirectly, and what the changes are in English. We have already met two
+constructions of indirect discourse, the subjunctive in indirect
+questions, and the subjunctive in informal indirect discourse. By the
+latter is meant a subordinate clause which, though not forming part of a
+formal quotation, has the subjunctive to show that not the speaker or
+writer but some other person is responsible for the idea it expresses
+(see the notes on _dedisset_, 27, 25, and _occídisset_. 30, 3). In
+indirect discourse, then, a statement depending upon a verb of saying,
+thinking, knowing, perceiving, or the like has its verb in the infinitive
+with the subject in the accusative; a command or question has its verb in
+the subjunctive; and any clause modifying such a statement, command, or
+question has its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+33. 13. intellegerent. See the note on 14, 20.
+
+14. nesció quam fábulam, 'some story or other.' Notice that _nesció_ with
+the interrogative pronoun is equivalent to an indefinite pronoun.
+
+19. óráculum. Read again the description beginning at the bottom of
+page 11.
+
+21. quis. See the note on 30, 3.
+
+Post paucís annís, 'a few years later,' literally 'later by a few years.'
+Post is here an adverb, and paucís annís ablative of degree of
+difference. The expression is equivalent to _post paucós annós_.
+
+22. accidit. See the note on 30, 1.
+
+factúrus, 'intending to make.' The future participle with a form of _sum_
+is used to express an intended or future action. This is called the
+active periphrastic conjugation.
+
+23. certam. See the note on 5, 13.
+
+24. Dié cónstitútá, ablative of time.
+
+26. á pueritiá. Compare _á pueró_, 9, 20.
+
+34. 2. tránseundó flúmine. See the note on _suí ulcíscendí_, 30, 16.
+
+nesció quó. See the note on 33. 14.
+
+4. únó pede núdó, 'with one foot bare,' the ablative absolute. This
+construction consists of two parts, a noun, or pronoun corresponding to
+the subject of a clause, and a participle corresponding to the verb of a
+clause. A predicate noun or adjective may take the place of the
+participle. In the latter case the use of the participle 'being' will
+show the two parts in the relation of subject and predicate, 'one foot
+being bare.'
+
+34.6. démónstrávisset, subjunctive because subordinate in indirect
+discourse. See the note on 33, 10. Pelias thought, _Híc est homó quem
+óráculum démónstrávit_.
+
+9. vellus aureum. Phrixus and his sister Helle were about to be put to
+death, when they were rescued by a ram with fleece of gold, who carried
+them off through the air. Helle fell from the ram's back into the strait
+that separates Europe and Asia, called after her the Hellespont, 'Helle's
+sea,' and known to us as the Dardanelles. Phrixus came safely to Colchis,
+and here he sacrificed the ram and gave the fleece to Aeetes. Read Mr.
+D.O.S. Lowell's _Jason's Quest_.
+
+11. ut ... potírétur. See the note on 27, 6.
+
+hóc vellere. _Potior_ takes the same construction as _véscor_, for which
+see the note on 16, 19.
+
+16. iter, accusative of extent.
+
+20. úsuí, dative of purpose. We say 'of use' or 'useful.'
+
+24. operí dative after the compound with _prae_. Notice that not all
+verbs compounded with prepositions govern the dative. Many compounds of
+_ad, ante, com_ (for _cum_), _in, inter, ob, post, prae, pró, sub_, and
+_super_ do have the dative, and some compounds of _circum_. You will find
+it profitable to keep a list of all such compound verbs governing the
+dative that you meet in your reading.
+
+25. né ... quidem, 'not ... even.' The word emphasized must stand between
+_né_ and _quidem_.
+
+ad labórem. See the note on _ad quiétem_, 14, 1.
+
+26. Ad multitúdinem tránsportandam, used like _ad labórem_. The gerundive
+in this use is very common.
+
+27. quibus. The antecedent _eae_ is not expressed. Notice that _útor_
+governs the same case as _véscor_ and _potior_. Two other deponent verbs,
+not found in this book, take this construction, namely _fruor_, 'enjoy,'
+and _fungor_, 'perform.'
+
+nostró marí, _i.e_. the Mediterranean.
+
+cónsuévimus. See the note on _cónsuéverat_, 10, 9.
+
+35. 8. citharoedum. It was said that Orpheus made such sweet music on his
+golden harp that wild beasts, trees, and rocks followed him as he moved.
+By his playing he even prevailed upon Pluto to give back his dead wife
+Eurydice.
+
+Théseum, a mythical hero, whose exploits resemble and rival those of
+Hercules. The most famous of them was the killing of the Minotaur.
+Theseus was the national hero of Athens.
+
+Castorem, the famous tamer of horses and brother of Pollux, the boxer.
+Read Macaulay's _Lays of Ancient Rome, The Battle of the Lake Regillus_.
+
+10. quós, the subject of esse. Its antecedent is eós, line 11. The
+relative frequently precedes in Latin, but the antecedent must be
+translated first.
+
+16. Argonautae. Notice the composition of this word.
+
+24. déicerentur, part of the result clause.
+
+26. arbitrátí. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+égredí. See the note on 22, 18.
+
+27. púgnátum est. See the note on 20 4.
+
+36. 5. Postrídié éius diéí, 'the next day,' more literally 'on the day
+following that day.' This idea may be expressed by _postrídié_ alone, and
+the fuller expression is simply more formal.
+
+9. in ancorís, 'at anchor.'
+
+10. habérent. See the note on 34, 6.
+
+11. ex Argonautís. See the note on 33, 6.
+
+13. Quí, 'he.' See the note on _quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+dum quaerit, 'while looking for.' The present indicative with _dum_ is
+often to be translated by a present participle.
+
+15. vídissent. We say 'saw,' but Latin makes it plain that the seeing
+(and falling in love) came before the attempt to persuade.
+
+eí. Keep a list of all intransitive verbs which are used with the dative.
+
+16. negáret. This verb is commonly used instead of _dícó_ when a negative
+statement follows; when thus used, it should be translated by 'say' with
+the appropriate negative, here 'said that he would not.'
+
+37. 1. praebuisset, subjunctive in a subordinate clause of indirect
+discourse.
+
+2. supplicí. See the note on 7, 8.
+
+6. accubuerat. The Romans reclined at table, supporting themselves on the
+left arm and taking the food with the right hand. They naturally
+represented others as eating in the same way.
+
+appositum, 'that had been placed before him.' See the note on
+_exanimátum_, 14, 4.
+
+7. Quó ... morerétur, 'and so it came to pass that Phineus was nearly
+dying of starvation,' literally 'that not much was wanting but that
+Phineus would die.' Ut ... abesset is a clause of result, the subject of
+factum est; quin ... morerétur is a form of subordinate clause with
+subjunctive verb used after certain negative expressions; famé is
+ablative of cause. Notice that _famés_ has a fifth-declension ablative,
+but is otherwise of the third declension.
+
+9. Rés male sé habébat, 'the situation was desperate.' What is the
+literal meaning?
+
+12. opíniónem virtútis, 'reputation for bravery.'
+
+13. quín ferrent. Negative expressions of doubt are regularly followed by
+_quín_ and the subjunctive.
+
+16. quantó in perículó. See the note on 11, 25.
+
+suae rés, 'his affairs.' See the note on _rés_, 13, 8.
+
+17. repperissent. Phineus used the future perfect indicative.
+
+22. nihil, used adverbially.
+
+23. áera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+27. Hóc factó, 'when this had been accomplished.' See the note on 34, 4.
+The ablative absolute is often used instead of a subordinate clause of
+time, cause, condition, or the like.
+
+38. 1. referret. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+3. eó cónsilió. See the note on 28, 1.
+
+4. né quis, 'that no one.' 'Negative clauses of purpose and negative
+clauses of result may be distinguished by the negative: _né, né quís_,
+etc., for purpose; _ut nón, ut némó_, etc., for result.
+
+parvó interválló, 'a short distance apart,' ablative absolute. See the
+note on 34, 1.
+
+5. in medium spatium, 'between them.'
+
+7. quid faciendum esset, 'what was to be done.' The gerundive is used
+with _sum_ to denote necessary action. This is called the passive
+periphrastic conjugation.
+
+8. sublátís ... solvit, 'weighed anchor and put to sea.' What is the
+literal translation? The ablative absolute is often best translated by a
+coördinate verb, and this requires a change of voice, for the lack of a
+perfect active participle in Latin is the reason for the use of the
+ablative absolute in such cases. If there were a perfect active
+participle, it would stand in the nominative, modifying the subject, as
+we have found the perfect participle of deponent verbs doing.
+
+11. réctá ... spatium, 'straight between them.'
+
+12. caudá tantum ámissá, 'having lost only its tail-feathers.' Notice
+that we change the voice, as in line 8, and that the use of the ablative
+absolute is resorted to here for the same reason as in that passage. Make
+sure at this point that you know three ways in which the ablative
+absolute may be translated, as in this passage, as in line 8, and as
+suggested in the note on 37, 27.
+
+14. concurrerent, 'could rush together.' See the note on _possent_, 27,
+20.
+
+intellegentés, equivalent to _cum intellegerent_.
+
+17. dís, the usual form of the dative and ablative plural of _deus_, as
+_dí_ of the nominative plural.
+
+quórum, equivalent to _cum eórum_. A relative clause of cause, like a
+_cum_-clause of cause, has its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+27. negábat. See the note on 36, 16.
+
+39. 1. tráditúrum. In infinitives formed with participles _esse_ is often
+omitted,
+
+prius. See the note on 27, 25.
+
+3. Prímum. See the note on 12, 16.
+
+4. iungendí erant. See the note on 38, 7.
+
+8. reí bene gerendae, 'of accomplishing his mission.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+10. rem aegré ferébat, 'she was greatly distressed.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+12. Quae ... essent. See the note on 29, 23.
+
+13. medicínae, objective genitive.
+
+14. Mediá nocte. See the note on 9, 5.
+
+ínsciente patre, 'without the knowledge of her father,' ablative
+absolute.
+
+15. vénit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+17. quod ... cónfírmáret, a relative clause of purpose.
+
+19. essent, subjunctive in informal indirect discourse, or by attraction
+to oblineret.
+
+20. hominibus. See the note on 34, 24.
+
+21. mágnitúdine et víribus, ablative of specification.
+
+40. 2. nihil valére, 'prevailed not.'
+
+5. quá in ré. See the note on 11, 25.
+
+6. cónfécerit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+8. quós. See the note on _quíbus_, 20, 1.
+
+9. autem. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+10. essent, subjunctive by attraction.
+
+11. quódam, 'some.'
+
+16. gígnerentur, 'should be born.' With dum, 'until,' the subjunctive is
+used of action anticipated, as with _antequam_ (see the note on
+_possent_, 27, 20).
+
+19. omnibus agrí partibus. See the note on 18, 6.
+
+20. mírum in modum = _míró modó_.
+
+25. nesció cúr, 'for some reason.' See the note on 33, 14.
+
+28. núlló negótió, 'with no trouble,' 'without difficulty.'
+
+41. 3. quín tulisset. See the note on 37, 13.
+
+15. quam prímum, 'as soon as possible.' See the note on 23, 2.
+
+16. ávectúrum. See the note on _tráditúrum_, 39, 1.
+
+17. Postrídié éius diéí. See the note on 36, 5.
+
+19. locó. The antecedent is frequently thus repeated in the relative
+clause.
+
+21. quí ... essent, 'to guard the ship.' See the note on 13, 16.
+
+22. ipse. See the note on 21, 19.
+
+27. quídam. This word may sometimes be rendered by the indefinite
+article.
+
+28. démónstrávimus. See the note on _nárrávimus_, 14, 17.
+
+42. 5. dormit. See the note on _fugit_, 4, 25.
+
+12. aliquí. Learn from the vocabulary the difference between _aliquís_
+and _aliquí_.
+
+mátúrandum sibi, 'they ought to hasten,' more literally 'haste ought to
+be made by them'; mátúrandum (_esse_) is the impersonal passive, and sibi
+the so-called dative of the agent. With the gerundive the person who has
+the thing to do is regularly expressed in the dative.
+
+16. mírátí. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+20. dís. See the note on 38, 17.
+
+21. événisset. See the note on _accépissent_, 26, 21.
+
+23. vigiliá. The Romans divided the day from sunrise to sunset into
+twelve hours (_hórae_), the night from sunset to sunrise into four
+watches (_vigiliae_).
+
+24. neque enim. See the note on 7, 12.
+
+25. inimícó animó, ablative of description.
+
+43. 2. hóc dolóre, 'this anger,' _i.e_. 'anger at this.'
+
+Návem longam, 'war-galley,' 'man-of-war.' The adjective contrasts the
+shape of the man-of-war with that of the merchantman.
+
+4. fugientís, used as a noun, 'the fugitives.'
+
+6. quá, ablative of means.
+
+7. quá, 'as,' but in the same construction as eádem celeritáte.
+
+8. Quo ... caperentur. See the note on 37, 7.
+
+9. neque ... posset, 'for the distance between them was not greater than
+a javelin could be thrown.' What is the literal translation? The clause
+quó ... posset denotes result; the distance was not _so great that_ a
+javelin could not be thrown from one ship to the other.
+
+11. vídisset. See the note on 36, 15.
+
+15. fugiéns, 'when she fled.' See the note on _fessus_, 23, 15.
+
+18. fílí. See the note on 7, 8.
+
+19. Neque ... fefellit, 'and Medea was not mistaken.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+20. ubi prímum, 'as soon as,' literally 'when first.'
+
+24. prius, not to be rendered until quam is reached. The two words
+together mean 'before,' more literally 'earlier than,' 'sooner than,'
+They are sometimes written together (_priusquam_).
+
+25. nihil ... esse, 'that it would be of no advantage to him.'
+
+44. 5. pollicitus erat. Verbs of promising do not usually take in Latin
+the simple present infinitive, as in English, but the construction of
+indirect discourse.
+
+10. mihi. The dative of reference is often used in Latin where we should
+use a possessive in English. Translate here as if the word were _meus_,
+modifying diés.
+
+11. Liceat mihi, 'permit me,' literally 'let it be permitted to me.'
+Commands and entreaties in the third person are regularly expressed in
+the subjunctive.
+
+dum vívam, 'so long as I live.' The verb with _dum_ 'so long as' is not
+restricted to the present, as with _dum_ 'while,' but any tense of the
+indicative may be used. We have here the future indicative, or the
+present subjunctive by attraction.
+
+12. tú. The nominative of the personal pronouns is commonly expressed
+only when emphatic. Here the use of the pronoun makes the promise more
+positive.
+
+15. rem aegré tulit, 'was vexed.' Compare 39, 10.
+
+20. Vultisne, the verb _vultis_ and the enclitic _-ne_, which is used to
+introduce a question, and is incapable of translation. Num (line 21)
+introduces a question to which a negative answer is expected, and is
+likewise not to be translated, except in so far as its effect is
+reproduced by the form of the question or the tone of incredulity with
+which the words are spoken.
+
+28. effervésceret. See the note on 40, 16.
+
+45. 3. stupentés, 'in amazement.'
+
+5. Vós. See the note on 44, 12. Vós and ego in the next sentence are
+contrasted.
+
+7. Quod ubi. See the note on 28, 8.
+
+10. necávérunt. See the note on _interfécit_, 13, 18.
+
+13. quíbus. For the case see the note on _quíbus_, 34, 27.
+
+15. ré vérá, 'really.'
+
+18. aegré tulérunt, 'were indignant at.' Compare 39, 10, and 44, 15.
+
+23. Creontí. See the note on _cui erant_, 13, 5.
+
+25. núntium, 'a notice of divorce.'
+
+26. dúceret. See the note on _dúxit_, 6, 18.

+28. ultúram. See the note on 39, 1.
+
+46. 1. Vestem. Compare the story of the death of Hercules, pp. 30, 31.
+
+3. quis. See the note on 30, 3.
+
+induisset, subjunctive by attraction.
+
+5. nihil malí. See the note on 22, 26.
+
+16. itaque, not the adverb _itaque_, but the adverb _ita_ and the
+enclitic conjunction _-que_.
+
+áera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+21. in eam partem, 'to that side.'
+
+
+ULYSSES
+
+49. 4. ínsidiás. This refers to the story of the wooden horse.
+
+9. quem, subject of excógitásse. The English idiom is 'who, some say,
+devised.' Notice that excógitásse is contracted from _excógitávisse_.
+
+10. quó, ablative of means.
+
+19. aliae ... partís, 'some in one direction and some in another,' but
+Latin compresses this into the one clause 'others in other directions.'
+
+20. quá. See the note on 43, 6.
+
+26. quibusdam, dative with obviam factí, 'having fallen in with,' 'having
+met.'
+
+27. Accidit. See the note on 30, 1.
+
+50. 2. gustássent, contracted from _gustávissent_.
+
+patriae et sociórum. Verbs of remembering and forgetting take the
+genitive or the accusative, but _oblívíscor_ prefers the former.
+
+4. cibó. See the note on 16, 19.
+
+5. hórá septimá. See the note on 42, 23.
+
+11. docuérunt. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+51. 6. tantum, the adverb.
+
+23. sé, 'they,' _i.e_. himself and his companions.
+
+praedandí causá, 'to steal.' Purpose is frequently thus expressed by
+_causá_ with the genitive of the gerund or gerundive. What other ways of
+expressing purpose have you met in your reading?
+
+24. á Tróiá. The preposition is sometimes used with names of towns, with
+the meaning 'from the direction of' or 'from the neighborhood of.'
+
+25. esse. It will help you to understand indirect discourse if you will
+try to discover what words would be used to express the idea in the
+direct form. Here, for instance, the exact words of Ulysses would have
+been in Latin: _Neque mercátórés sumus neque praedandí causá vénimus; sed
+á Tróiá redeuntés ví tempestátum á réctó cursú dépulsí sumus_.
+
+27. ubi ... essent. The question of Polyphemus was _Ubi est návis quá
+vectí estis_?
+
+sibi ... esse, 'that he must be exceedingly careful.' See the note on
+_mátúrandum sibi_, 42, 12.
+
+29. in ... esse, 'had been driven on the rocks and entirely dashed to
+pieces.' See the note on _írá ... interfécit_, 18, 4.
+
+52. 1. membrís eórum dívulsís, 'tearing them limb from limb.'
+
+4. né ... quidem. See the note on 34, 25.
+
+6. tam. Notice that the force of a second demonstrative word is lost in
+the English rendering. So _híc tantus vir_, 'this great man,' etc.
+
+7. humí. See the note on 30, 16.
+
+próstrátus, 'throwing himself down.' See the note on _continébantur_,
+20, 26.
+
+8. reí gerendae, 'for action.' Compare 39, 8.
+
+9. in eó ... tránsfígeret, 'was on the point of transfixing.' The clause
+of result ut ... tránsfígeret is explanatory of in eó.
+
+13. nihil sibi prófutúrum. See the note on 43, 25.
+
+17. hóc cónátú. See the note on 13, 11.
+
+18. núllá ... oblátá, 'since no hope of safety presented itself.' See the
+note on _continébantur_, 20, 26.
+
+21. et. See the note on 28, 18.
+
+23. látúri essent, 'would bring,' more literally 'were going to bring.'
+Notice that in subjunctive constructions the periphrastic form is
+necessary to express future action clearly, since the subjunctive has no
+future.
+
+25. quod, object of the implied _fécerat_.
+
+53. 14. quó. See the note on 43, 7.
+
+15. id ... salútí, 'and this was his salvation,' literally 'that which
+was for safety to him.' For the datives see the note on 13, 16.
+
+20. tertium, the adverb.
+
+22. Néminem. Why is the accusative used?
+
+27. inquit. See the note on 14, 28.
+
+28. quam facultátem, for _facultátem quam_. The antecedent is often thus
+attracted into the relative clause,
+
+né omittámus, 'let us not neglect,' the hortatory subjunctive.
+
+29. reí gerendae. See the note on 52, 8.
+
+54. 1. extrémum pálum, 'the end of the stake.' Other adjectives denoting
+a part of the object named by the noun they modify are _medius_, 'the
+middle of'; _céterus_, 'the rest of'; _reliquus_, 'the rest of';
+_prímus_, 'the first of'; _summus_, 'the top of'; _ímus_, 'the bottom
+of.'
+
+5. dum errat, 'wandering.'
+
+23. pecus. Is this _pecus, pecoris_, or _pecus, pecudis_? See the note on
+_pecora_, 20, 26.
+
+24. vénerat. We say 'came,' but the Latin by the use of the pluperfect
+denotes that this action preceded that of tráctábat.
+
+55. 1. quás. See the note on _quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+inter sé. Compare 21, 20.
+
+5. fore, 'would happen.'
+
+15. aliquod. Compare 42, 12, and the note.
+
+16. id ... erat, 'as was indeed the case.'
+
+17. auxiliandí causá. See the note on 51, 23.
+
+26. correptum coniécit, 'seized and threw.'
+
+27. nón ... submergerentur. See the note on 37, 7.
+
+56. 4-6. These verses and those on p. 57 and p. 59 are quoted from
+Vergil's Aeneid.
+
+6. vinclís, for _vinculís_.
+
+8. vírís. Let the quantity of the first _i_ tell you from what nominative
+this word comes.
+
+11. sibi proficíscendum. See the note on _mátúrandum sibi_, 42, 12.
+
+13. iam profectúró, 'as he was now about to set out.'
+
+16. návigantí, 'to one sailing.'
+
+25. mírábantur, 'had been wondering.' With iam dúdum and similar
+expressions the imperfect denotes action begun some time before and still
+going on at the given past time. This is similar to the use of the
+present already commented on (see the note on _es_, 4, 1).
+
+28. céláta, plural because of the plural expression aurum et argentum.
+
+57. 1. ventí, subject of ruunt and perflant.
+
+2. velut ágmine factó, 'as if formed in column.'
+
+3. data. _Est_ is omitted.
+
+10. próiécissent. See the note on _accépissent_, 26, 21.
+
+13. in terram égrediendum esse, 'that a landing must be made.'
+
+18. quam, an adverb modifying crúdélí.
+
+19. essent, informal indirect discourse or subjunctive by attraction.
+
+20. vellet, subjunctive of characteristic. This name is given to the
+subjunctive when used in relative clauses to define or restrict an
+indefinite or general antecedent. So here it is not 'no one was found,'
+but 'no one willing to undertake this task was found.'
+
+21. déducta est, 'came.'
+
+23. praeesset, subjunctive of purpose.
+
+25. événit. This verb takes the same construction as _accidit_, 30, 1.
+
+58. 1. nihil. See the note on 37, 22.
+
+2. mortí. Compare 49, 26.
+
+5. aliquantum itineris, 'some distance on the journey.' The two words are
+accusative of extent of space and partitive genitive respectively.
+
+11. sibi, 'for them,' dative of reference.
+
+12. forís. This is translated like forás above, but the former was
+originally locative and is therefore used with verbs of rest; the latter,
+accusative of place whither and therefore used with verbs of motion.
+
+15. accubuérunt. See the note on 37, 6.
+
+25. perturbátus, used as a predicate adjective, 'agitated.'
+
+27. correptó. See the note on 38, 8.
+
+59. 1. quid. See the note on _quis_, 30, 3.
+
+gravius, 'serious.'
+
+eí. The direct form of these two speeches would be: _Sí quid gravius tibi
+acciderit, omnium salús in summó discrímine erit_; and _Néminem invítum
+mécum addúcam; tibi licet, sí mávís, in náví manére; ego ipse sine úlló
+praesidió rem suscipiam_. Notice that _ego_ is not used to represent _sé_
+of line 2, but is used for _sé_ of line 4 for the sake of the contrast
+with _tibi_.
+
+6. núlló. Instead of the genitive and ablative of _némó_, _núllíus_ and
+_núlló_ are regularly used.
+
+7. Alíquantum itinerís. See the note on 58, 5.
+
+10. in eó ... intráret. See the note on 52, 9.
+
+11. eí. Compare 49, 26, and 58, 2.
+
+14. Circés, a Greek form of the genitive.
+
+16. Num. See the note on 44, 20. Nónne (line 14) is used to introduce a
+question to which an affirmative answer is expected.
+
+18. núllís. See the note on 24, 3.
+
+22. tetigerit. See the note on 30, 20.
+
+tú ... faciás, 'see that you draw your sword and make an attack upon
+her.'
+
+24. vísús, 'sight,' The use of the plural is poetic.
+
+25. tenuem ... auram. The order of the words here is poetic.
+
+60. 1. atque, 'as.' After adjectives and adverbs denoting likeness and
+unlikeness, this use of _atque_ is regular.
+
+3. dépulsa est. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+4. sibi. See the note on 58, 11.
+
+11. ut ... erat, 'as he had been instructed,' more literally 'as had been
+enjoined upon him.' An intransitive verb must be used impersonally in the
+passive, for it is the direct object of the active voice that becomes the
+subject of the passive. If the intransitive verb takes a dative in the
+active, this dative is kept in the passive. Notice that the corresponding
+English verbs are transitive, and that the dative may therefore be
+rendered as the object in the active construction and as the subject in
+the passive.
+
+13. sénsisset. See the note on _vídissent_, 36, 15.
+
+14. sibi vítam adimeret, 'take her life.' The dative of reference is thus
+used after some compound verbs to name the person from whom a thing is
+taken. This construction is sometimes called the dative of separation.
+
+15. timóre perterritam. See the note on 14, 11.
+
+20. eí pedés, 'his feet.' See the note on 44, 10.
+
+21. imperásset, contracted from _imperávisset_.
+
+22. in átrium. See the note on 7, 3.
+
+26. sunt, goes with reductí.
+
+29. reliquís Graecís, indirect object of díceret.
+
+30. Circaeam. Notice that this use of the adjective instead of the
+genitive often cannot be imitated in the English rendering, but must be
+translated by the possessive case or a prepositional phrase.
+
+61. 8. eí persuásum sit, 'he was persuaded.' See the note on 60, 11. The
+clause ut ... manéret is the subject of persuásum sit; if the latter were
+active, the clause would be its object. For the tense of persuásum sit
+see the note on 19, 22.
+
+10. cónsúmpserat. See the note on 14, 3.
+
+patriae, objective genitive, to be rendered, as often, with 'for.'
+
+15. úsuí. See the note on 34, 20.
+
+23. antequam perveníret. We say 'before he could come.' See the note on
+_possent_, 27, 20.
+
+24. hóc locó. See the note on 24, 2.
+
+longum est. We say '_would_ be tedious' or '_would_ take too long.'

+derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
+contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
+copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in

+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
+with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
+with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
+U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+THE LITTLE THAT IS MINE IN THIS LITTLE BOOK I GRATEFULLY DEDICATE TO
+PROFESSOR JOSEPH HETHERINGTON M'DANIELS TEACHER AND FRIEND
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE
+
+
+Some time ago a fellow-teacher brought the _Fabulae Faciles_ to my
+notice, and I have since used two of them each year with my class of
+beginners in Latin with increasing appreciation. Indeed, I know nothing
+better to introduce the student into the reading of connected narrative,
+and to bridge the great gulf between the beginner's book of the
+prevailing type and the Latinity of Caesar or Nepos. They are adapted to
+this use not merely by reason of their simplicity and interest, but more
+particularly by the graduating of difficulties and the large use of
+Caesarian words and phrases to which Mr. Ritchie calls attention in his
+preface.
+
+Doubtless many American teachers have become familiar with portions of
+the _Fabulae_, for they have been freely drawn upon in several Latin
+readers recently published in this country. I venture to hope that those
+who have made the acquaintance of the work in this way will welcome a
+complete edition.
+
+In England the little book has had a large use. Its pedagogical
+excellencies are well summed up in a letter addressed to Mr. Ritchie by
+the Very Rev. E.C. Wickham, formerly Head-Master of Wellington College,
+the well-known editor of Horace:--
+
+"It launches the student at once in ancient life. The old classical
+stories, simply told, seem to me much the best material for early Latin
+reading. They are abundantly interesting; they are taken for granted in
+the real literature of the language; and they can be told without
+starting the beginner on a wrong track by a barbarous mixture of ancient
+and modern ideas.
+
+"It combines, if I may say so, very skilfully, the interest of a
+continuous story, with the gradual and progressive introduction of
+constructions and idioms. These seem to me to be introduced at the right
+moment, and to be played upon long enough to make them thoroughly
+familiar."
+
+In revising Mr. Ritchie's book for the use of American schools it has
+seemed best to make extensive changes. Long vowels have been marked
+throughout, and the orthography of Latin words has been brought into
+conformity with our practice. Many liberties have been taken with the
+text itself, especially in the latter part, in the way of making it
+approximate more closely to our rather strict notions of the standards of
+model prose. A few words and uses of words not found in the prose writers
+of the republic have been retained, but nothing, it is hoped, that will
+seriously mislead the young student. I shall welcome any criticism that
+may lead to further changes in the text in future editions.
+
+The notes are entirely new, and are intended for students who have but
+just finished the beginner's book or have not yet finished it. Some notes
+may appear at first sight unnecessary or unnecessarily hard, but the
+reason for their insertion should be evident when the student begins the
+reading of classical Latin, the difficulties of which will be less likely
+to appal the beginner if some of them have been already conquered. I
+believe it a mistake to postpone all treatment of the uses of the
+subjunctive, for instance, or of the constructions of indirect discourse
+until the study of Nepos or Caesar is begun. Besides, it is easier to
+neglect notes than to supply them, and the teacher who prefers to do the
+first reading without much attention to the more difficult constructions
+will only need to tell his students to disregard certain of my notes--or
+all of them.
+
+There are no references to the grammars, but syntax has been given such
+treatment as seemed needed to supplement its treatment in the beginner's
+book. Teachers will therefore be able to postpone the use of a formal
+manual of grammar, if they so desire. Those who wish their classes to
+begin the reading of Latin at the earliest possible moment will find it
+feasible to use this book as soon as the inflections and the more
+elementary principles of syntax have been mastered.
+
+In the vocabulary, the derivation or composition and the original meaning
+of words have been indicated wherever these seemed likely to prove
+helpful. Principal parts and genitives have been given in such a way as
+to prevent misunderstanding, and at the same time emphasize the
+composition of the verb or the suffix of the noun: for example, _abscido,
+-cidere, -cidi, -cisus; aetas, -tatis_.
+
+The lists of works of English literature and of art in which the myths
+are treated are only suggestive. Occasional readings from the one and
+exhibitions of representations of the other, either in the form of
+photographs or by the stereopticon, will not only stimulate interest in
+the Latin text but aid also in creating in the student a taste for
+literature and for art.
+
+I planned at first to add some exercises for retranslation, but after
+careful consideration it has seemed not worth while. Most teachers will
+prefer not to base composition upon the Latin read at this stage, and
+those who wish to do so will find it an easy matter to prepare their own
+exercises, or can draw upon the copious exercises prepared by Mr. Ritchie
+and published separately under the title _Imitative Exercises in Easy
+Latin Prose_.
+
+In the reading of proof I have had generous help from Dr. F.K. Ball of
+The Phillips Exeter Academy, Mr. J.C. Flood of St. Mark's School, and Mr.
+A.T. Dudley of Noble and Greenough's School, Boston. The proof-sheets
+have been used with the beginner's class in this Academy, and I have thus
+been able to profit by the criticism of my associate Mr. G.B. Rogers, and
+to test the work myself. The assistance of my wife has greatly lightened
+the labor of verifying the vocabulary.

+
+
+INTRODUCTORY NOTE
+
+
+The _Fabulae Faciles_, or 'Easy Stories.' are four Greek myths retold in
+Latin, not by a Roman writer, however, but by an Englishman, who believed
+that they would afford interesting and pleasant reading for young folks
+who were just beginning the study of the Latin language. By myth is meant
+an imaginative tale that has been handed down by tradition from remote
+antiquity concerning supernatural beings and events. Such tales are
+common among all primitive peoples, and are by them accepted as true.
+They owe their origin to no single author, but grow up as the untutored
+imagination strives to explain to itself the operations of nature and the
+mysteries of life, or amuses itself with stories of the brave exploits of
+heroic ancestors.
+
+The most beautiful and delightful of all myths are those that have come
+down to us in the remains of the literature and the art of ancient Greece
+and Rome; they are also the most important to us, for many of the great
+masterpieces of English literature and of modern art have been inspired
+by them and cannot be understood and appreciated by one ignorant of
+classical mythology.
+
+Of this mythology the _Fabulae Faciles_ give but a small part. If you
+wish to know more of the subject, you should read Gayley's _The Classic
+Myths in English Literature_, Guerber's _Myths of Greece and Rome_, or
+the books by Kingsiey, Cox, Church, and Francillon mentioned earlier.

+
+
+PERSEUS
+
+
+_Acrisius, an ancient king of Argos, had been warned by an oracle that he
+should perish by the hand of his grandson. On discovering, therefore,
+that his daughter Danae had given birth to a son, Acrisius endeavored to
+escape his fate by setting both mother and child adrift on the sea. They
+were saved, however, by the help of Jupiter; and Perseus, the child, grew
+up at the court of Polydectes, king of Seriphos, an island in the Aegean
+Sea. On reaching manhood, Perseus was sent by Polydectes to fetch the
+head of Medusa, one of the Gorgons. This dangerous task he accomplished
+with the help of Apollo and Minerva, and on his way home he rescued
+Andromeda, daughter of Cepheus, from a sea-monster. Perseus then married
+Andromeda, and lived some time in the country of Cepheus. At length he
+returned to Seriphos, and turned Polydectes to stone by showing him the
+Gorgon's head; he then went to the court of Acrisius, who fled in terror
+at the news of his grandson's return. The oracle was duly fulfilled, for
+Acrisius was accidentally killed by a quoit thrown by Perseus_.
+
+
+1. _THE ARK_
+
+Haec narrantur a poetis de Perseo. Perseus filius erat Iovis, maximi
+deorum; avus eius Acrisius appellabatur. Acrisius volebat Perseum nepotem
+suum necare; nam propter oraculum puerum timebat. Comprehendit igitur
+Perseum adhuc infantem, et cum matre in arca lignea inclusit. Tum arcam
+ipsam in mare coniecit. Danae, Persei mater, magnopere territa est;
+tempestas enim magna mare turbabat. Perseus autem in sinu matris
+dormiebat.
+
+2. _JUPITER SAVES HIS SON_
+
+Iuppiter tamen haec omnia vidit, et filium suum servare constituit.
+Tranquillum igitur fecit mare, et arcam ad insulam Seriphum perduxit.
+Huius insulae Polydectes tum rex erat. Postquam arca ad litus appulsa
+est, Danae in harena quietem capiebat. Post breve tempus a piscatore
+quodam reperta est, et ad domum regis Polydectis adducta est. Ille matrem
+et puerum benigne excepit, et iis sedem tutam in finibus suis dedit.
+Danae hoc donum libenter accepit, et pro tanto beneficio regi gratias
+egit.
+
+3. _PERSEUS IS SENT ON HIS TRAVELS_
+
+Perseus igitur multos annos ibi habitabat, et cum matre sua vitam beatam
+agebat. At Polydectes Danaen magnopere amabat, atque eam in matrimonium
+ducere volebat. Hoc tamen consilium Perseo minime gratum erat. Polydectes
+igitur Perseum dimittere constituit. Tum iuvenem ad se vocavit et haec
+dixit: "Turpe est hanc ignavam vitam agere; iam dudum tu adulescens es.
+Quo usque hic manebis? Tempus est arma capere et virtutem praestare. Hinc
+abi, et caput Medusae mihi refer."
+
+4. _PERSEUS GETS HIS OUTFIT_
+
+Perseus ubi haec audivit, ex insula discessit, et postquam ad continentem
+venit, Medusam quaesivit. Diu frustra quaerebat; namque naturam loci
+ignorabat. Tandem Apollo et Minerva viam demonstraverunt. Primum ad
+Graeas, sorores Medusae, pervenit. Ab his talaria et galeam magicam
+accepit. Apollo autem et Minerva falcem et speculum dederunt. Tum
+postquam talaria pedibus induit, in aera ascendit. Diu per acra volabat;
+tandem tamen ad eum locum venit ubi Medusa cum ceteris Gorgonibus
+habitabat. Gorgones autem monstra erant specie horribili; capita enim
+earum anguibus omnino contecta erant. Manus etiam ex aere factae erant.
+
+5. _THE GORGON'S HEAD_
+
+Res difficillima erat caput Gorgonis abscidere; eius enim conspectu
+homines in saxum vertebantur. Propter hanc causam Minerva speculum Perseo
+dederat. Ille igitur tergum vertit, et in speculum inspiciebat; hoc modo
+ad locum venit ubi Medusa dormiebat. Tum falce sua caput eius uno ictu
+abscidit. Ceterae Gorgones statim e somno excitatae sunt, et ubi rem
+viderunt, ira commotae sunt. Arma rapuerunt, et Perseum occidere
+volebant. Ille autem dum fugit, galeam magicam induit; et ubi hoc fecit,
+statim e conspectu earum evasit.
+
+6. _THE SEA-SERPENT_
+
+Post haec Perseus in finis Aethiopum venit. Ibi Cepheus quidam illo
+tempore regnabat. Hic Neptunum, maris deum, olim offenderat; Neptunus
+autem monstrum saevissimum miserat. Hoc cottidie e mari veniebat et
+homines devorabat. Ob hanc causam pavor animos omnium occupaverat.
+Cepheus igitur oraculum dei Hammonis consuluit, atque a deo iussus est
+filiam monstro tradere. Eius autem filia, nomine Andromeda, virgo
+formosissima erat. Cepheus ubi haec audivit, magnum dolorem percepit.
+Volebat tamen civis suos e tanto periculo extrahere, atque ob eam causam
+imperata Hammonis facere constituit.
+
+7. _A HUMAN SACRIFICE_
+
+Tum rex diem certam dixit et omnia paravit. Ubi ea dies venit, Andromeda
+ad litus deducta est, et in conspectu omnium ad rupem adligata est. Omnes
+fatum eius deplorabant, nec lacrimas tenebant. At subito, dum monstrum
+exspectant, Perseus accurrit; et ubi lacrimas vidit, causam doloris
+quaerit. Illi rem totam exponunt et puellam demonstrant. Dum haec
+geruntur, fremitus terribilis auditur; simul monstrum horribili specie
+procul conspicitur. Eius conspectus timorem maximum omnibus iniecit.
+Monstrum magna celeritate ad litus contendit, iamque ad locum
+appropinquabat ubi puella stabat.
+
+8. _THE RESCUE_
+
+At Perseus ubi haec vidit, gladium suum eduxit, et postquam talaria
+induit, in aera sublatus est. Tum desuper in monstrum impetum subito
+fecit, et gladio suo collum eius graviter vulneravit. Monstrum ubi sensit
+vulnus, fremitum horribilem edidit, et sine mora totum corpus in aquam
+mersit. Perseus dum circum litus volat, reditum eius exspectabat. Mare
+autem interea undique sanguine inficitur. Post breve tempus belua rursus
+caput sustulit; mox tamen a Perseo ictu graviore vulnerata est. Tum
+iterum se in undas mersit, neque postea visa est.
+
+9. _THE REWARD OF VALOR_
+
+Perseus postquam ad litus descendit, primum talaria exuit; tum ad rupem
+venit ubi Andromeda vincta erat. Ea autem omnem spem salutis deposuerat,
+et ubi Perseus adiit, terrore paene exanimata erat. Ille vincula statim
+solvit, et puellam patri reddidit. Cepheus ob hanc rem maximo gaudio
+adfectus est. Meritam gratiam pro tanto beneficio Perseo rettulit;
+praeterea Andromedam ipsam ei in matrimonium dedit. Ille libenter hoc
+donum accepit et puellam duxit. Paucos annos cum uxore sua in ea regione
+habitabat, et in magno honore erat apud omnis Aethiopes. Magnopere tamen
+matrem suam rursus videre cupiebat. Tandem igitur cum uxore sua e regno
+Cephei discessit.
+
+10. _POLYDECTES IS TURNED TO STONE_
+
+Postquam Perseus ad insulam navem appulit, se ad locum contulit ubi mater
+olim habitaverat, sed domum invenit vacuam et omnino desertam. Tris dies
+per totam insulam matrem quaerebat; tandem quarto die ad templum Dianae
+pervenit. Huc Danae refugerat, quod Polydectem timebat. Perseus ubi haec
+cognovit, ira magna commotus est; ad regiam Polydectis sine mora
+contendit, et ubi eo venit, statim in atrium inrupit. Polydectes magno
+timore adfectus est et fugere volebat. Dum tamen ille fugit, Perseus
+caput Medusae monstravit; ille autem simul atque hoc vidit, in saxum
+versus est.
+
+II. _THE ORACLE FULFILLED_
+
+Post haec Perseus cum uxore sua ad urbem Acrisi rediit. Ille autem ubi
+Perseum vidit, magno terrore adfectus est; nam propter oraculum istud
+nepotem suum adhuc timebat. In Thessaliam igitur ad urbem Larisam statim
+refugit, frustra tamen; neque enim fatum suum vitavit. Post paucos annos
+rex Larisae ludos magnos fecit; nuntios in omnis partis dimiserat et diem
+edixerat. Multi ex omnibus urbibus Graeciae ad ludos convenerunt. Ipse
+Perseus inter alios certamen discorum iniit. At dum discum conicit, avum
+suum casu occidit; Acrisius enim inter spectatores eius certaminis forte
+stabat.
+
+
+
+
+HERCULES
+
+
+_Hercules, a Greek hero celebrated for his great strength, was pursued
+throughout his life by the hatred of Juno. While yet an infant, he
+strangled some serpents sent by the goddess to destroy him. During his
+boyhood and youth he performed various marvelous feats of strength, and
+on reaching manhood succeeded in delivering the Thebans from the
+oppression of the Minyae. In a fit of madness sent upon him by Juno, he
+slew his own children; and on consulting the Delphic oracle as to how he
+should cleanse himself from this crime, he was ordered to submit himself
+for twelve years to Eurystheus, king of Tiryns, and to perform whatever
+tasks were appointed him. Hercules obeyed the oracle, and during the
+twelve years of his servitude accomplished twelve extraordinary feats
+known as the Labors of Hercules. His death was caused unintentionally by
+his wife Dejanira. Hercules had shot with his poisoned arrows a centaur
+named Nessus, who had insulted Dejanira. Nessus, before he died, gave
+some of his blood to Dejanira, and told her it would act as a charm to
+secure her husband's love. Some time after, Dejanira wishing to try the
+charm soaked one of her husband's garments in the blood, not knowing
+that it was poisoned. Hercules put on the robe, and after suffering
+terrible torments died, or was carried off by his father Jupiter_.
+
+
+12. _THE HATRED OF JUNO_
+
+Hercules, Alcmenae filius, olim in Graecia habitabat. Hic omnium hominum
+validissimus fuisse dicitur. At Iuno, regina deorum, Alcmenam oderat et
+Herculem adhuc infantem necare voluit. Misit igitur duas serpentis
+saevissimas; hae media nocte in cubiculum Alcmenae venerunt, ubi Hercules
+cum fratre suo dormiebat. Nec tamen in cunis, sed in scuto magno
+cubabant. Serpentes iam appropinquaverant et scutum movebant; itaque
+pueri e somno excitati sunt.
+
+13. _HERCULES AND THE SERPENTS_
+
+Iphicles, frater Herculis, magna voce exclamavit; sed Hercules ipse,
+fortissimus puer, haudquaquam territus est. Parvis manibus serpentis
+statim prehendit, et colla earum magna vi compressit. Tali modo serpentes
+a puero interfectae sunt. Alcmena autem, mater puerorum, clamorem
+audiverat, et maritum suum e somno excitaverat. Ille lumen accendit et
+gladium suum rapuit; tum ad pueros properabat, sed ubi ad locum venit,
+rem miram vidit, Hercules enim ridebat et serpentis mortuas monstrabat.
+
+14. _THE MUSIC-LESSON_
+
+Hercules a puero corpus suum diligenter exercebat; magnam partem diei in
+palaestra consumebat; didicit etiam arcum intendere et tela conicere. His
+exercitationibus vires eius confirmatae sunt. In musica etiam a Lino
+centauro erudiebatur (centauri autem equi erant sed caput hominis
+habebant); huic tamen arti minus diligenter studebat. Hic Linus Herculem
+olim obiurgabat, quod non studiosus erat; tum puer iratus citharam subito
+rapuit, et omnibus viribus caput magistri infelicis percussit. Ille ictu
+prostratus est, et paulo post e vita excessit, neque quisquam postea id
+officium suscipere voluit.
+
+15. _HERCULES ESCAPES SACRIFICE_
+
+De Hercule haec etiam inter alia narrantur. Olim dum iter facit, in finis
+Aegyptiorum venit. Ibi rex quidam, nomine Busiris, illo tempore regnabat;
+hic autem vir crudelissimus homines immolare consueverat. Herculem igitur
+corripuit et in vincula coniecit. Tum nuntios dimisit et diem sacrificio
+edixit. Mox ea dies appetebat, et omnia rite parata sunt. Manus Herculis
+catenis ferreis vinctae sunt, et mola salsa in caput eius inspersa est.
+Mos enim erat apud antiquos salem et far capitibus victimarum imponere.
+Iam victima ad aram stabat; iam sacerdos cultrum sumpserat. Subito tamen
+Hercules magno conatu vincula perrupit; tum ictu sacerdotem prostravit;
+altero regem ipsum occidit.
+
+16. _A CRUEL DEED_
+
+Hercules iam adulescens Thebis habitabat. Rex Thebarum, vir ignavus,
+Creon appellabatur. Minyae, gens bellicosissima, Thebanis finitimi erant.
+Legati autem a Minyis ad Thebanos quotannis mittebantur; hi Thebas
+veniebant et centum boves postulabant. Thebani enim olim a Minyis
+superati erant; tributa igitur regi Minyarum quotannis pendebant. At
+Hercules civis suos hoc stipendio liberare constituit; legatos igitur
+comprehendit, atque auris eorum abscidit. Legati autem apud omnis gentis
+sancti habentur.
+
+17. _THE DEFEAT OF THE MINYAE_
+
+Erginus, rex Minyarum, ob haec vehementer iratus statim cum omnibus
+copiis in finis Thebanorum contendit. Creon adventum eius per
+exploratores cognovit. Ipse tamen pugnare noluit, nam magno timore
+adfectus erat; Thebani igitur Herculem imperatorem creaverunt. Ille
+nuntios in omnis partis dimisit, et copias coegit; tum proximo die cum
+magno exercitu profectus est. Locum idoneum delegit et aciem instruxit.
+Tum Thebani e superiore loco impetum in hostis fecerunt. Illi autem
+impetum sustinere non potuerunt; itaque acies hostium pulsa est atque in
+fugam conversa.
+
+18. _MADNESS AND MURDER_
+
+Post hoc proelium Hercules copias suas ad urbem reduxit. Omnes Thebani
+propter victoriam maxime gaudebant; Creon autem magnis honoribus Herculem
+decoravit, atque filiam suam ei in matrimonium dedit. Hercules cum uxore
+sua beatam vitam agebat; sed post paucos annos subito in furorem incidit,
+atque liberos suos ipse sua manu occidit. Post breve tempus ad sanitatem
+reductus est, et propter hoc facinus magno dolore adfectus est; mox ex
+urbe effugit et in silvas se recepit. Nolebant enim cives sermonem cum eo
+habere.
+
+19. _HERCULES CONSULTS THE ORACLE_
+
+Hercules tantum scelus expiare magnopere cupiebat. Constituit igitur ad
+oraculum Delphicum ire; hoc enim oraculum erat omnium celeberrimum. Ibi
+templum erat Apollinis plurimis donis ornatum. Hoc in templo sedebat
+femina quaedam, nomine Pythia et consilium dabat iis qui ad oraculum
+veniebant. Haec autem femina ab ipso Apolline docebatur, et voluntatem
+dei hominibus enuntiabat. Hercules igitur, qui Apollinem praecipue
+colebat, huc venit. Tum rem totam exposuit, neque scelus celavit.
+
+20. _THE ORACLE'S REPLY_
+
+Ubi Hercules finem fecit, Pythia primo tacebat; tandem tamen iussit eum
+ad urbem Tiryntha ire, et Eurysthei regis omnia imperata facere. Hercules
+ubi haec audivit, ad urbem illam contendit, et Eurystheo regi se in
+servitutem tradidit. Duodecim annos crudelissimo Eurystheo serviebat, et
+duodecim labores, quos ille imperaverat, confecit; hoc enim uno modo
+tantum scelus expiari potuit. De his laboribus plurima a poetis scripta
+sunt. Multa tamen quae poetae narrant vix credibilia sunt.
+
+21. _FIRST LABOR: THE NEMEAN LION_
+
+Primum ab Eurystheo iussus est Hercules leonem occidere qui illo tempore
+vallem Nemeaeam reddebat infestam. In silvas igitur in quibus leo
+habitabat statim se contulit. Mox feram vidit, et arcum, quem secum
+attulerat, intendit; eius tamen pellem, quae densissima erat, traicere
+non potuit. Tum clava magna quam semper gerebat leonem percussit, frustra
+tamen; neque enim hoc modo eum occidere potuit. Tum demum collum monstri
+bracchiis suis complexus est et faucis eius omnibus viribus compressit.
+Hoc modo leo brevi tempore exanimatus est; nulla enim respirandi facultas
+ei dabatur. Tum Hercules cadaver ad oppidum in umeris rettulit; et
+pellem, quam detraxerat, postea pro veste gerebat. Omnes autem qui eam
+regionem incolebant, ubi famam de morte leonis acceperunt, vehementer
+gaudebant et Herculem magno honore habebant.
+
+22. _SECOND LABOR: THE LERNEAN HYDRA_
+
+Paulo post iussus est ab Eurystheo Hydram necare. Hoc autem monstrum erat
+cui novem erant capita. Hercules igitur cum amico Iolao profectus est ad
+paludem Lernaeam, in qua Hydra habitabat. Mox monstrum invenit, et
+quamquam res erat magni periculi, collum eius sinistra prehendit. Tum
+dextra capita novem abscidere coepit; quotiens tamen hoc fecerat, nova
+capita exoriebantur. Diu frustra laborabat; tandem hoc conatu destitit.
+Deinde arbores succidere et ignem accendere constituit. Hoc celeriter
+fecit, et postquam ligna ignem comprehenderunt, face ardente colla
+adussit, unde capita exoriebantur. Nec tamen sine magno labore haec
+fecit; venit enim auxilio Hydrae cancer ingens, qui, dum Hercules capita
+abscidit, crura eius mordebat. Postquam monstrum tali modo interfecit,
+sagittas suas sanguine eius imbuit, itaque mortiferas reddidit.
+
+23. _THIRD LABOR: THE CERYNEAN STAG_
+
+Postquam Eurystheo caedes Hydrae nuntiata est, magnus timor animum eius
+occupavit. Iussit igitur Herculem cervum quendam ad se referre; noluit
+enim virum tantae audaciae in urbe retinere. Hic autem cervus, cuius
+cornua aurea fuisse traduntur, incredibili fuit celeritate. Hercules
+igitur primo vestigiis eum in silva persequebatur; deinde ubi cervum
+ipsum vidit, omnibus viribus currere coepit. Usque ad vesperum currebat,
+ neque nocturnum tempus sibi ad quietem relinquebat, frustra tamen; nullo
+enim modo cervum consequi poterat. Tandem postquam totum annum cucurrerat
+(ita traditur), cervum cursu exanimatum cepit, et vivum ad Eurystheum
+rettulit.
+
+24. _FOURTH LABOR: THE ERYMANTHIAN BOAR_
+
+Tum vero iussus est Hercules aprum quendam capere qui illo tempore agros
+Erymanthios vastabat et incolas huius regionis magnopere terrebat.
+Hercules rem suscepit et in Arcadiam profectus est. Postquam in silvam
+paulum progressus est, apro occurrit. Ille autem simul atque Herculem
+vidit, statim refugit; et timore perterritus in altam fossam se proiecit.
+Hercules igitur laqueum quem attulerat iniecit, et summa cum difficultate
+aprum e fossa extraxit. Ille etsi fortiter repugnabat, nullo modo se
+liberare potuit; et ab Hercule ad Eurystheum vivus relatus est.
+
+25. _HERCULES AT THE CENTAUR'S CAVE_
+
+De quarto labore, quem supra narravimus, haec etiam traduntur. Hercules
+dum iter in Arcadiam facit, ad eam regionem venit quam centauri
+incolebant. Cum nox iam appeteret, ad speluncam devertit in qua centaurus
+quidam, nomine Pholus, habitabat.
+
+Ille Herculem benigne excepit et cenam paravit. At Hercules postquam
+cenavit, vinum a Pholo postulavit. Erat autem in spelunca magna amphora
+vino optimo repleta, quam centauri ibi deposuerant. Pholus igitur hoc
+vinum dare nolebat, quod reliquos centauros timebat; nullum tamen vinum
+praeter hoc in spelunca habebat. "Hoc vinum," inquit, "mihi commissum
+est. Si igitur hoc dabo, centauri me interficient." Hercules tamen eum
+inrisit, et ipse poculum vini de amphora hausit.
+
+26. _THE FIGHT WITH THE CENTAURS_
+
+Simul atque amphora aperta est, odor iucundissimus undique diffusus est;
+vinum enim suavissimum erat. Centauri notum odorem senserunt et omnes ad
+locum convenerunt.
+
+Ubi ad speluncam pervenerunt, magnopere irati erant quod Herculem
+bibentem viderunt. Tum arma rapuerunt et Pholum interficere volebant.
+Hercules tamen in aditu speluncae constitit et impetum eorum fortissime
+sustinebat. Faces ardentis in eos coniecit; multos etiam sagittis suis
+vulneravit. Hae autem sagittae eaedem erant quae sanguine Hydrae olim
+imbutae erant. Omnes igitur quos ille sagittis vulneraverat veneno statim
+absumpti sunt; reliqui autem ubi hoc viderunt, terga verterunt et fuga
+salutem petierunt.
+
+27. _THE FATE OF PHOLUS_
+
+Postquam reliqui fugerunt, Pholus ex spelunca egressus est, et corpora
+spectabat eorum qui sagittis interfecti erant. Magnopere autem miratus
+est quod tam levi vulnere exanimati erant, et causam eius rei quaerebat.
+Adiit igitur locum ubi cadaver cuiusdam centauri iacebat, et sagittam e
+vulnere traxit. Haec tamen sive casu sive consilio deorum e manibus eius
+lapsa est, et pedem leviter vulneravit. Ille extemplo dolorem gravem per
+omnia membra sensit, et post breve tempus vi veneni exanimatus est. Mox
+Hercules, qui reliquos centauros secutus erat, ad speluncam rediit, et
+magno cum dolore Pholum mortuum vidit. Multis cum lacrimis corpus amici
+ad sepulturam dedit; tum, postquam alterum poculum vini exhausit, somno
+se dedit.
+
+28. _FIFTH LABOR: THE AUGEAN STABLES_
+
+Deinde Eurystheus Herculi hunc laborem graviorem imposuit. Augeas quidam,
+qui illo tempore regnum in Elide obtinebat, tria milia boum habebat. Hi
+in stabulo ingentis magnitudinis includebantur. Stabulum autem inluvie ac
+squalore erat obsitum, neque enim ad hoc tempus umquam purgatum erat. Hoc
+Hercules intra spatium unius diei purgare iussus est. Ille, etsi res erat
+multae operae, negotium suscepit. Primum magno labore fossam duodeviginti
+pedum duxit, per quam fluminis aquam de montibus ad murum stabuli
+perduxit. Tum postquam murum perrupit, aquam in stabulum immisit et tali
+modo contra opinionem omnium opus confecit.
+
+29. _SIXTH LABOR: THE STYMPHALIAN BIRDS_
+
+Post paucos dies Hercules ad oppidum Stymphalum iter fecit; imperaverat
+enim ei Eurystheus ut avis Stymphalides necaret. Hae aves rostra aenea
+habebant et carne hominum vescebantur. Ille postquam ad locum pervenit,
+lacum vidit; in hoc autem lacu, qui non procul erat ab oppido, aves
+habitabant. Nulla tamen dabatur appropinquandi facultas; lacus enim non
+ex aqua sed e limo constitit. Hercules igitur neque pedibus neque lintre
+progredi potuit.
+
+Ille cum magnam partem diei frustra consumpsisset, hoc conatu destitit et
+ad Volcanum se contulit, ut auxilium ab eo peteret. Volcanus (qui ab
+fabris maxime colebatur) crepundia quae ipse ex aere fabricatus erat
+Herculi dedit. His Hercules tam acrem crepitum fecit ut aves perterritae
+avolarent. Ille autem, dum avolant, magnum numerum earum sagittis
+transfixit.
+
+30. _SEVENTH LABOR: THE CRETAN BULL_
+
+Tum Eurystheus Herculi imperavit ut taurum quendam ferocissimum ex insula
+Creta vivum referret. Ille igitur navem conscendit, et cum ventus idoneus
+esset, statim solvit. Cum tamen insulae iam appropinquaret, tanta
+tempestas subito coorta est ut navis cursum tenere non posset. Tantus
+autem timor animos nautarum occupavit ut paene omnem spem salutis
+deponerent. Hercules tamen, etsi navigandi imperitus erat, haudquaquam
+territus est.
+
+Post breve tempus summa tranquillitas consecuta est, et nautae, qui se ex
+timore iam receperant, navem incolumem ad terram appulerunt. Hercules e
+navi egressus est, et cum ad regem Cretae venisset, causam veniendi
+docuit. Deinde, postquam omnia parata sunt, ad eam regionem contendit
+quam taurus vastabat. Mox taurum vidit, et quamquam res erat magni
+periculi, cornua eius prehendit. Tum, cum ingenti labore monstrum ad
+navem traxisset, cum praeda in Graeciam rediit.
+
+31. _EIGHTH LABOR: THE MAN-EATING HORSES OF DIOMEDE_
+
+Postquam ex insula Creta rediit, Hercules ab Eurystheo in Thraciam missus
+est, ut equos Diomedis reduceret. Hi equi carne hominum vescebantur;
+Diomedes autem, vir crudelissimus, illis obiciebat peregrinos omnis qui
+in eam regionem venerant. Hercules igitur magna celeritate in Thraciam
+contendit et ab Diomede postulavit ut equi sibi traderentur. Cum tamen
+ille hoc facere nollet, Hercules ira commotus regem interfecit et cadaver
+eius equis obici iussit.
+
+Ita mira rerum commutatio facta est; is enim qui antea multos cum
+cruciatu necaverat ipse eodem supplicio necatus est. Cum haec nuntiata
+essent, omnes qui eam regionem incolebant maxima laetitia adfecti sunt et
+Herculi meritam gratiam referebant. Non modo maximis honoribus et
+praemiis eum decoraverunt sed orabant etiam ut regnum ipse susciperet.
+Ille tamen hoc facere nolebat, et cum ad mare rediisset, navem occupavit.
+Ubi omnia ad navigandum parata sunt, equos in navi conlocavit; deinde,
+cum idoneam tempestatem nactus esset, sine mora e portu solvit, et paulo
+post equos in litus Argolicum exposuit.
+
+32. _NINTH LABOR: THE GIRDLE OF HIPPOLYTE_
+
+Gens Amazonum dicitur omnino ex mulieribus constitisse. Hae summam
+scientiam rei militaris habebant, et tantam virtutem adhibebant ut cum
+viris proelium committere auderent. Hippolyte, Amazonum regina, balteum
+habuit celeberrimum quem Mars ei dederat. Admeta autem, Eurysthei filia,
+famam de hoc balteo acceperat et eum possidere vehementer cupiebat.
+Eurystheus igitur Herculi mandavit ut copias cogeret et bellum Amazonibus
+inferret. Ille nuntios in omnis partis dimisit, et cum magna multitudo
+convenisset, eos delegit qui maximum usum in re militari habebant.
+
+33. _THE GIRDLE IS REFUSED_
+
+His viris Hercules persuasit, postquam causam itineris exposuit, ut secum
+iter facerent. Tum cum iis quibus persuaserat navem conscendit, et cum
+ventus idoneus esset, post paucos dies ad ostium fluminis Thermodontis
+appulit. Postquam in finis Amazonum venit, nuntium ad Hippolytam misit,
+qui causam veniendi doceret et balteum posceret. Ipsa Hippolyte balteum
+tradere volebat, quod de Herculis virtute famam acceperat; reliquae tamen
+Amazones ei persuaserunt ut negaret. At Hercules, cum haec nuntiata
+essent, belli fortunam temptare constituit.
+
+Proximo igitur die cum copias eduxisset, locum idoneum delegit et hostis
+ad pugnam evocavit. Amazones quoque copias suas ex castris eduxerunt et
+non magno intervallo ab Hercule aciem instruxerunt.
+
+34. _THE BATTLE_
+
+Palus erat non magna inter duo exercitus; neutri tamen initium transeundi
+facere volebant. Tandem Hercules signum dedit, et ubi paludem transiit,
+proelium commisit.
+
+Amazones impetum virorum fortissime sustinuerunt, et contra opinionem
+omnium tantam virtutem praestiterunt ut multos eorum occiderint, multos
+etiam in fugam coniecerint. Viri enim novo genere pugnae perturbabantur
+nec magnam virtutem praestabant. Hercules autem cum haec videret, de suis
+fortunis desperare coepit. Milites igitur vehementer cohortatus est ut
+pristinae virtutis memoriam retinerent neu tantum dedecus admitterent,
+hostiumque impetum fortiter sustinerent; quibus verbis animos omnium ita
+erexit ut multi etiam qui vulneribus confecti essent proelium sine mora
+redintegrarent.
+
+35. _THE DEFEAT OF THE AMAZONS_
+
+Diu et acriter pugnatum est; tandem tamen ad solis occasum tanta
+commutatio rerum facta est ut mulieres terga verterent et fuga salutem
+peterent. Multae autem vulneribus defessae dum fugiunt captae sunt, in
+quo numero ipsa erat Hippolyte. Hercules summam clementiam praestitit, et
+postquam balteum accepit, libertatem omnibus captivis dedit. Tum vero
+socios ad mare reduxit, et quod non multum aestatis supererat, in
+Graeciam proficisci maturavit. Navem igitur conscendit, et tempestatem
+idoneam nactus statim solvit; antequam tamen in Graeciam pervenit, ad
+urbem Troiam navem appellere constituit, frumentum enim quod secum
+habebat iam deficere coeperat.
+
+36. _LAOMEDON AND THE SEA-MONSTER_
+
+Laomedon quidam illo tempore regnum Troiae obtinebat. Ad hunc Neptunus et
+Apollo anno superiore venerant, et cum Troia nondum moenia haberet, ad
+hoc opus auxilium obtulerant. Postquam tamen horum auxilio moenia
+confecta sunt, nolebat Laomedon praemium quod proposuerat persolvere.
+
+Neptunus igitur et Apollo ob hanc causam irati monstrum quoddam miserunt
+specie horribili, quod cottidie e mari veniebat et homines pecudesque
+vorabat. Troiani autem timore perterriti in urbe continebantur, et pecora
+omnia ex agris intra muros compulerant. Laomedon his rebus commotus
+oraculum consuluit, ac deus ei praecepit ut filiam Hesionem monstro
+obiceret.
+
+37. _THE RESCUE OF HESIONE_
+
+Laomedon, cum hoc responsum renuntiatum esset, magnum dolorem percepit;
+sed tamen, ut civis suos tanto periculo liberaret, oraculo parere
+constituit et diem sacrificio dixit. Sed sive casu sive consilio deorum
+Hercules tempore opportunissimo Troiam attigit; ipso enim temporis puncto
+quo puella catenis vincta ad litus deducebatur ille navem appulit.
+Hercules e navi egressus de rebus quae gerebantur certior factus est; tum
+ira commotus ad regem se contulit et auxilium suum obtulit. Cum rex
+libenter ei concessisset ut, si posset, puellam liberaret, Hercules
+monstrum interfecit; et puellam, quae iam omnem spem salutis deposuerat,
+incolumem ad patrem reduxit. Laomedon magno cum gaudio filiam suam
+accepit, et Herculi pro tanto beneficio meritam gratiam rettulit.
+
+38. _TENTH LABOR: THE OXEN OF GERYON_
+
+Tum vero missus est Hercules ad insulam Erythiam, ut boves Geryonis
+arcesseret. Res erat summae difficultatis, quod boves a quodam Eurytione
+et a cane bicipite custodiebantur. Ipse autem Geryon speciem horribilem
+praebebat; tria enim corpora inter se coniuncta habebat. Hercules tamen
+etsi intellegebat quantum periculum esset, negotium suscepit; ac postquam
+per multas terras iter fecit, ad eam partem Libyae pervenit quae Europae
+proxima est. Ibi in utroque litore freti quod Europam a Libya dividit
+columnas constituit, quae postea Herculis Columnae appellabantur.
+
+39. _THE GOLDEN SHIP_
+
+Dum hic moratur, Hercules magnum incommodum ex calore solis accipiebat;
+tandem igitur ira commotus arcum suum intendit et solem sagittis petiit.
+Sol tamen audaciam viri tantum admiratus est ut lintrem auream ei
+dederit. Hercules hoc donum libentissime accepit, nullam enim navem in
+his regionibus invenire potuerat. Tum lintrem deduxit, et ventum nactus
+idoneum post breve tempus ad insulam pervenit. Ubi ex incolis cognovit
+quo in loco boves essent, in eam partem statim profectus est et a rege
+Geryone postulavit ut boves sibi traderentur. Cum tamen ille hoc facere
+nollet, Hercules et regem ipsum et Eurytionem, qui erat ingenti
+magnitudine corporis, interfecit.
+
+40. _A MIRACULOUS HAIL-STORM_
+
+Tum Hercules boves per Hispaniam et Liguriam compellere constituit;
+postquam igitur omnia parata sunt, boves ex insula ad continentem
+transportavit. Ligures autem, gens bellicosissima, dum ille per finis
+eorum iter facit, magnas copias coegerunt atque eum longius progredi
+prohibebant. Hercules magnam difficultatem habebat, barbari enim in locis
+superioribus constiterant et saxa telaque in eum coniciebant. Ille quidem
+paene omnem spem salutis deposuerat, sed tempore opportunissimo Iuppiter
+imbrem lapidum ingentium e caelo demisit. Hi tanta vi ceciderunt ut
+magnum numerum Ligurum occiderint; ipse tamen Hercules (ut in talibus
+rebus accidere consuevit) nihil incommodi cepit.
+
+41. _THE PASSAGE OF THE ALPS_
+
+Postquam Ligures hoc modo superati sunt, Hercules quam celerrime
+progressus est et post paucos dies ad Alpis pervenit. Necesse erat has
+transire, ut in Italiam boves ageret; res tamen summae erat
+difficultatis. Hi enim montes, qui ulteriorem a citeriore Gallia
+dividunt, nive perenni sunt tecti; quam ob causam neque frumentum neque
+pabulum in his regionibus inveniri potest. Hercules igitur antequam
+ascendere coepit, magnam copiam frumenti et pabuli comparavit et hoc
+commeatu boves oneravit. Postquam in his rebus tris dies consumpserat,
+quarto die profectus est, et contra omnium opinionem boves incolumis in
+Italiam traduxit.
+
+42. _CACUS STEALS THE OXEN_
+
+Brevi tempore ad flumen Tiberim venit. Tum tamen nulla erat urbs in eo
+loco, Roma enim nondum condita erat. Hercules itinere fessus constituit
+ibi paucos dies morari, ut se ex laboribus recrearet. Haud procul a valle
+ubi boves pascebantur spelunca erat, in qua Cacus, horribile monstrum,
+tum habitabat. Hic speciem terribilem praebebat, non modo quod ingenti
+magnitudine corporis erat, sed quod ignem ex ore exspirabat. Cacus autem
+de adventu Herculis famam acceperat; noctu igitur venit, et dum Hercules
+dormit, quattuor pulcherrimorum boum abripuit. Hos caudis in speluncam
+traxit, ne Hercules e vestigiis cognoscere posset quo in loco celati
+essent.
+
+43. _HERCULES DISCOVERS THE THEFT_
+
+Postero die simul atque e somno excitatus est, Hercules furtum
+animadvertit et boves amissos omnibus locis quaerebat. Hos tamen nusquam
+reperire poterat, non modo quod loci naturam ignorabat, sed quod
+vestigiis falsis deceptus est. Tandem cum magnam partem diei frustra
+consumpsisset, cum reliquis bobus progredi constituit. At dum proficisci
+parat, unus e bobus quos secum habuit mugire coepit. Subito ii qui in
+spelunca inclusi erant mugitum reddiderunt, et hoc modo Herculem
+certiorem fecerunt quo in loco celati essent. Ille vehementer iratus ad
+speluncam quam celerrime se contulit, ut praedam reciperet. At Cacus
+saxum ingens ita deiecerat ut aditus speluncae omnino obstrueretur.
+
+44. _HERCULES AND CACUS_
+
+Hercules cum nullum alium introitum reperire posset, hoc saxum amovere
+conatus est, sed propter eius magnitudinem res erat difficillima. Diu
+frustra laborabat neque quicquam efficere poterat; tandem tamen magno
+conatu saxum amovit et speluncam patefecit. Ibi amissos boves magno cum
+gaudio conspexit; sed Cacum ipsum vix cernere potuit, quod spelunca
+repleta erat fumo quem ille more suo evomebat. Hercules inusitata specie
+turbatus breve tempus haesitabat; mox tamen in speluncam inrupit et
+collum monstri bracchiis complexus est. Ille etsi multum repugnavit,
+nullo modo se liberare potuit, et cum nulla facultas respirandi daretur,
+mox exanimatus est.
+
+45. _ELEVENTH LABOR: THE GOLDEN APPLES OF THE HESPERIDES_
+
+Eurystheus postquam boves Geryonis accepit, laborem undecimum Herculi
+imposuit, graviorem quam quos supra narravimus. Mandavit enim ei ut aurea
+poma ex horto Hesperidum auferret. Hesperides autem nymphae erant quaedam
+forma praestantissima, quae in terra longinqua habitabant, et quibus
+aurea quaedam poma a Iunone commissa erant. Multi homines auri cupiditate
+inducti haec poma auferre iam antea conati erant. Res tamen difficillima
+erat, namque hortus in quo poma erant muro ingenti undique circumdatus
+erat; praeterea draco quidam cui centum erant capita portam horti
+diligenter custodiebat. Opus igitur quod Eurystheus Herculi imperaverat
+erat summae difficultatis, non modo ob causas quas memoravimus, sed etiam
+quod Hercules omnino ignorabat quo in loco hortus ille situs esset.
+
+
+46. _HERCULES ASKS AID OF ATLAS_
+
+Hercules quamquam quietem vehementer cupiebat, tamen Eurystheo parere
+constituit, et simul ac iussa eius accepit, proficisci maturavit. A
+multis mercatoribus quaesiverat quo in loco Hesperides habitarent, nihil
+tamen certum reperire potuerat. Frustra per multas terras iter fecit et
+multa pericula subiit; tandem, cum in his itineribus totum annum
+consumpsisset, ad extremam partem orbis terrarum, quae proxima est
+Oceano, pervenit. Hic stabat vir quidam, nomine Atlas, ingenti
+magnitudine corporis, qui caelum (ita traditum est) umeris suis sustinebat,
+ne in terram decideret. Hercules tantas viris magnopere miratus statim in
+conloquium cum Atlante venit, et cum causam itineris docuisset, auxilium
+ab eo petiit.
+
+47. _HERCULES BEARS UP THE HEAVENS_
+
+Atlas autem Herculi maxime prodesse potuit; ille enim cum ipse esset
+pater Hesperidum, certo scivit quo in loco esset hortus. Postquam igitur
+audivit quam ob causam Hercules venisset, "Ipse," inquit, "ad hortum ibo
+et filiabus meis persuadebo ut poma sua sponte tradant." Hercules cum
+haec audiret, magnopere gavisus est; vim enim adhibere noluit, si res
+aliter fieri posset. Constituit igitur oblatum auxilium accipere. Atlas
+tamen postulavit ut, dum ipse abesset, Hercules caelum umeris sustineret.
+Hoc autem negotium Hercules libenter suscepit, et quamquam res erat summi
+laboris, totum pondus caeli continuos compluris dies solus sustinebat.
+
+48. _THE RETURN OF ATLAS_
+
+Atlas interea abierat et ad hortum Hesperidum, qui pauca milia passuum
+aberat, se quam celerrime contulerat. Eo cum venisset, causam veniendi
+exposuit et filias suas vehementer hortatus est ut poma traderent. Illae
+diu haerebant; nolebant enim hoc facere, quod ab ipsa Iunone (ita ut ante
+dictum est) hoc munus accepissent. Atlas tamen aliquando iis persuasit ut
+sibi parerent, et poma ad Herculem rettulit. Hercules interea cum pluris
+dies exspectavisset neque ullam famam de reditu Atlantis accepisset, hac
+mora graviter commotus est. Tandem quinto die Atlantem vidit redeuntem,
+et mox magno cum gaudio poma accepit; tum, postquam gratias pro tanto
+beneficio egit, ad Graeciam proficisci maturavit.
+
+49. _TWELFTH LABOR: CERBERUS THE THREE-HEADED DOG_
+
+Postquam aurea poma ad Eurystheum relata sunt, unus modo relinquebatur e
+duodecim laboribus quos Pythia Herculi praeceperat. Eurystheus autem cum
+Herculem magnopere timeret, eum in aliquem locum mittere volebat unde
+numquam redire posset. Negotium igitur ei dedit ut canem Cerberum ex Orco
+in lucem traheret. Hoc opus omnium difficillimum erat, nemo enim umquam
+ex Orco redierat. Praeterea Cerberus iste monstrum erat horribili specie,
+cui tria erant capita serpentibus saevis cincta. Antequam tamen de hoc
+labore narramus, non alienum videtur, quoniam de Orco mentionem fecimus,
+pauca de ea regione proponere.
+
+50. _CHARON'S FERRY_
+
+De Orco, qui idem Hades appellabatur, haec traduntur. Ut quisque de vita
+decesserat, manes eius ad Orcum, sedem mortuorum, a deo Mercurio
+deducebantur. Huius regionis, quae sub terra fuisse dicitur, rex erat
+Pluto, cui uxor erat Proserpina, Iovis et Cereris filia. Manes igitur a
+Mercurio deducti primum ad ripam veniebant Stygis fluminis, quo regnum
+Plutonis continetur. Hoc transire necesse erat antequam in Orcum venire
+possent. Cum tamen in hoc flumine nullus pons factus esset, manes
+transvehebantur a Charonte quodam, qui cum parva scapha ad ripam
+exspectabat. Charon pro hoc officio mercedem postulabat, neque quemquam,
+nisi hoc praemium prius dedisset, transvehere volebat. Quam ob causam mos
+erat apud antiquos nummum in ore mortui ponere eo consilio, ut cum ad
+Stygem venisset, pretium traiectus solvere posset. Ii autem qui post
+mortem in terra non sepulti erant Stygem transire non potuerunt, sed in
+ripa per centum annos errare coacti sunt; tum demum Orcum intrare licuit.
+
+51. _THE REALM OF PLUTO_
+
+Ut autem manes Stygem hoc modo transierant, ad alterum veniebant flumen,
+quod Lethe appellabatur. Ex hoc flumine aquam bibere cogebantur; quod cum
+fecissent, res omnis in vita gestas e memoria deponebant. Denique ad
+sedem ipsius Plutonis veniebant, cuius introitus a cane Cerbero
+custodiebatur. Ibi Pluto nigro vestitu indutus cum uxore Proserpina in
+solio sedebat. Stabant etiam non procul ab eo loco tria alia solia, in
+quibus sedebant Minos, Rhadamanthus, Aeacusque, iudices apud inferos. Hi
+mortuis ius dicebant et praemia poenasque constituebant. Boni enim in
+Campos Elysios, sedem beatorum, veniebant; improbi autem in Tartarum
+mittebantur ac multis et variis suppliciis ibi excruciabantur.
+
+52. _HERCULES CROSSES THE STYX_
+
+Hercules postquam imperia Eurysthei accepit, in Laconiam ad Taenarum
+statim se contulit; ibi enim spelunca erat ingenti magnitudine, per quam,
+ut tradebatur, homines ad Orcum descendebant. Eo cum venisset, ex incolis
+quaesivit quo in loco spelunca illa sita esset; quod cum cognovisset,
+sine mora descendere constituit. Nec tamen solus hoc iter faciebat,
+Mercurius enim et Minerva se ei socios adiunxerant. Ubi ad ripam Stygis
+venit, Hercules scapham Charontis conscendit, ut ad ulteriorem ripam
+transiret. Cum tamen Hercules vir esset ingenti magnitudine corporis,
+Charon solvere nolebat; magnopere enim verebatur ne scapha sua tanto
+pondere onerata in medio flumine mergeretur. Tandem tamen minis Herculis
+territus Charon scapham solvit, et eum incolumem ad ulteriorem ripam
+perduxit.
+
+53. _THE LAST LABOR IS ACCOMPLISHED_
+
+Postquam flumen Stygem hoc modo transiit, Hercules in sedem ipsius
+Plutonis venit; et postquam causam veniendi docuit, ab eo petivit ut
+Cerberum auferre sibi liceret. Pluto, qui de Hercule famam acceperat, eum
+benigne excepit, et facultatem quam ille petebat libenter dedit.
+Postulavit tamen ut Hercules ipse, cum imperata Eurysthei fecisset,
+Cerberum in Orcum rursus reduceret. Hercules hoc pollicitus est, et
+Cerberum, quem non sine magno periculo manibus prehenderat, summo cum
+labore ex Orco in lucem et ad urbem Eurysthei traxit. Eo cum venisset,
+tantus timor animum Eurysthei occupavit ut ex atrio statim refugerit; cum
+autem paulum se ex timore recepisset, multis cum lacrimis obsecravit
+Herculem ut monstrum sine mora in Orcum reduceret. Sic contra omnium
+opinionem duodecim illi labores quos Pythia praeceperat intra duodecim
+annos confecti sunt; quae cum ita essent, Hercules servitute tandem
+liberatus magno cum gaudio Thebas rediit.
+
+54. _THE CENTAUR NESSUS_
+
+Postea Hercules multa alia praeclara perfecit, quae nunc perscribere
+longum est. Tandem iam aetate provectus Deianiram, Oenei filiam, in
+matrimonium duxit; post tamen tris annos accidit ut puerum quendam, cui
+nomen erat Eunomus, casu occiderit. Cum autem mos esset ut si quis
+hominem casu occidisset, in exsilium iret, Hercules cum uxore sua e
+finibus eius civitatis exire maturavit. Dum tamen iter faciunt, ad flumen
+quoddam pervenerunt in quo nullus pons erat; et dum quaerunt quonam modo
+flumen transeant, accurrit centaurus Nessus, qui viatoribus auxilium
+obtulit. Hercules igitur uxorem suam in tergum Nessi imposuit; tum ipse
+flumen tranavit. Nessus autem paulum in aquam progressus ad ripam subito
+revertebatur et Deianiram auferre conabatur. Quod cum animadvertisset
+Hercules, ira graviter commotus arcum intendit et pectus Nessi sagitta
+transfixit.
+
+55. _THE POISONED ROBE_
+
+Nessus igitur sagitta Herculis transfixus moriens humi iacebat; at ne
+occasionem sui ulciscendi dimitteret, ita locutus est: "Tu, Deianira,
+verba morientis audi. Si amorem mariti tui conservare vis, hunc sanguinem
+qui nunc e pectore meo effunditur sume ac repone; tum, si umquam in
+suspicionem tibi venerit, vestem mariti hoc sanguine inficies." Haec
+locutus Nessus animam efflavit; Deianira autem nihil mali suspicata
+imperata fecit. Paulo post Hercules bellum contra Eurytum, regem
+Oechaliae, suscepit; et cum regem ipsum cum filiis interfecisset, Iolen
+eius filiam captivam secum reduxit. Antequam tamen domum venit, navem ad
+Cenaeum promunturium appulit, et in terram egressus aram constituit, ut
+Iovi sacrificaret. Dum tamen sacrificium parat, Licham comitem suum domum
+misit, qui vestem albam referret; mos enim erat apud antiquos, dum
+sacrificia facerent, albam vestem gerere. At Deianira verita ne Hercules
+amorem erga Iolen haberet, vestem priusquam Lichae dedit, sanguine Nessi
+infecit.
+
+[Illustration: HERCULES, NESSUS, AND DEJANIRA]
+
+56. _THE DEATH OF HERCULES_
+
+Hercules nihil mali suspicans vestem quam Lichas attulerat statim induit;
+paulo post tamen dolorem per omnia membra sensit, et quae causa esset
+eius rei magnopere mirabatur. Dolore paene exanimatus vestem detrahere
+conatus est; illa tamen in corpore haesit, neque ullo modo abscindi
+potuit. Tum demum Hercules quasi furore impulsus in montem Octam se
+contulit, et in rogum, quem summa celeritate exstruxit, se imposuit. Hoc
+cum fecisset, eos qui circumstabant oravit ut rogum quam celerrime
+succenderent. Omnes diu recusabant; tandem tamen pastor quidam ad
+misericordiam inductus ignem subdidit. Tum, dum omnia fumo obscurantur,
+Hercules densa nube velatus a Iove in Olympum abreptus est.
+
+
+
+
+THE ARGONAUTS
+
+
+_The celebrated voyage of the Argonauts was brought about in this way.
+Pelias had expelled his brother Aeson from his kingdom in Thessaly, and
+had determined to take the life of Jason, the son of Aeson. Jason,
+however, escaped and grew up to manhood in another country. At last he
+returned to Thessaly; and Pelias, fearing that he might attempt to
+recover the kingdom, sent him to fetch the Golden Fleece from Colchis,
+supposing this to be an impossible feat. Jason with a band of heroes set
+sail in the ship Argo (called after Argus, its builder), and after many
+adventures reached Colchis. Here Aeetes, king of Colchis, who was
+unwilling to give up the Fleece, set Jason to perform what seemed an
+impossible task, namely to plough a field with certain fire-breathing
+oxen, and then to sow it with dragon's teeth. Medea, however, the
+daughter of the king, assisted Jason by her skill in magic, first to
+perform the task appointed, and then to procure the Fleece. She then fled
+with Jason, and to delay the pursuit of her father, sacrificed her
+brother Absyrtus. After reaching Thessaly, Medea caused the death of
+Pelias and was expelled from the country with her husband. They removed
+to Corinth, and here Medea becoming jealous of Glauce, daughter of Creon,
+caused her death by means of a poisoned robe. She was afterward carried
+off in a chariot sent by the sun-god, and a little later Jason was
+accidentally killed_.
+
+
+57. _THE WICKED UNCLE_
+
+Erant olim in Thessalia duo fratres, quorum alter Aeson, Pelias alter
+appellabatur. Aeson primo regnum obtinuerat; at post paucos annos Pelias
+regni cupiditate adductus non modo fratrem suum expulit, sed etiam in
+animo habebat Iasonem, Aesonis filium, interficere. Quidam tamen ex
+amicis Aesonis, ubi sententiam Peliae cognoverunt, puerum e tanto
+periculo eripere constituerunt. Noctu igitur Iasonem ex urbe abstulerunt,
+et cum postero die ad regem rediissent, ei renuntiaverunt puerum mortuum
+esse. Pelias cum hoc audivisset, etsi re vera magnum gaudium percipiebat,
+speciem tamen doloris praebuit et quae causa esset mortis quaesivit. Illi
+autem cum bene intellegerent dolorem eius falsum esse, nescio quam
+fabulam de morte pueri finxerunt.
+
+58. _A FATEFUL ACCIDENT_
+
+Post breve tempus Pelias, veritus ne regnum suum tanta vi et fraude
+occupatum amitteret, amicum quendam Delphos misit, qui oraculum
+consuleret. Ille igitur quam celerrime Delphos se contulit et quam ob
+causam venisset demonstravit. Respondit oraculum nullum esse in
+praesentia periculum; monuit tamen Peliam ut si quis unum calceum gerens
+veniret, eum caveret. Post paucis annis accidit ut Pelias magnum
+sacrificium facturus esset; nuntios in omnis partis dimiserat et certam
+diem conveniendi dixerat. Die constituta magnus hominum numerus undique
+ex agris convenit; in his autem venit etiam Iason, qui a pueritia apud
+centaurum quendam habitaverat. Dum tamen iter facit, unum e calceis in
+transeundo nescio quo flumine amisit.
+
+59. _THE GOLDEN FLEECE_
+
+Iason igitur cum calceum amissum nullo modo recipere posset, uno pede
+nudo in regiam pervenit. Quem cum Pelias vidisset, subito timore adfectus
+est; intellexit enim hunc esse hominem quem oraculum demonstravisset. Hoc
+igitur consilium iniit. Rex erat quidam Aeetes, qui regnum Colchidis illo
+tempore obtinebat. Huic commissum erat vellus illud aureum quod Phrixus
+olim ibi reliquerat. Constituit igitur Pelias Iasoni negotium dare ut hoc
+vellere potiretur; cum enim res esset magni periculi, eum in itinere
+periturum esse sperabat. Iasonem igitur ad se arcessivit, et eum
+cohortatus quid fieri vellet docuit. Ille etsi intellegebat rem esse
+difficillimam, negotium libenter suscepit.
+
+60. _THE BUILDING OF THE GOOD SHIP ARGO_
+
+Cum tamen Colchis multorum dierum iter ab eo loco abesset, solus Iason
+proficisci noluit. Dimisit igitur nuntios in omnis partis, qui causam
+itineris docerent et diem certam conveniendi dicerent. Interea, postquam
+omnia quae sunt usui ad armandas navis comportari iussit, negotium dedit
+Argo cuidam, qui summam scientiam nauticarum rerum habebat, ut navem
+aedificaret. In his rebus circiter decem dies consumpti sunt; Argus enim,
+qui operi praeerat, tantam diligentiam adhibebat ut ne nocturnum quidem
+tempus ad laborem intermitteret. Ad multitudinem hominum transportandam
+navis paulo erat latior quam quibus in nostro mari uti consuevimus, et ad
+vim tempestatum perferendam tota e robore facta est.
+
+61. _THE ANCHOR IS WEIGHED_
+
+Interea is dies appetebat quem Iason per nuntios edixerat, et ex omnibus
+regionibus Graeciae multi, quos aut rei novitas aut spes gloriae movebat,
+undique conveniebant. Traditum est autem in hoc numero fuisse Herculem,
+de quo supra multa perscripsimus, Orpheum, citharoedum praeclarissimum,
+Theseum, Castorem, multosque alios quorum nomina sunt notissima. Ex his
+Iason quos arbitratus est ad omnia pericula subeunda paratissimos esse,
+eos ad numerum quinquaginta delegit et socios sibi adiunxit; tum paucos
+dies commoratus, ut ad omnis casus subsidia compararet, navem deduxit, et
+tempestatem ad navigandum idoneam nactus magno cum plausu omnium solvit.
+
+62. _A FATAL MISTAKE_
+
+Haud multo post Argonautae (ita enim appellabantur qui in ista navi
+vehebantur) insulam quandam, nomine Cyzicum, attigerunt; et e navi
+egressi a rege illius regionis hospitio excepti sunt. Paucas horas ibi
+commorati ad solis occasum rursus solverunt; sed postquam pauca milia
+passuum progressi sunt, tanta tempestas subito coorta est ut cursum
+tenere non possent, et in eandem partem insulae unde nuper profecti erant
+magno cum periculo deicerentur. Incolae tamen, cum nox esset obscura,
+Argonautas non agnoscebant, et navem inimicam venisse arbitrati arma
+rapuerunt et eos egredi prohibebant. Acriter in litore pugnatum est, et
+rex ipse, qui cum aliis decucurrerat, ab Argonautis occisus est. Mox
+tamen, cum iam dilucesceret, senserunt incolae se errare et arma
+abiecerunt; Argonautae autem cum regem occisum esse viderent, magnum
+dolorem perceperunt.
+
+63. _THE LOSS OF HYLAS_
+
+Postridie eius diei Iason tempestatem satis idoneam esse arbitratus
+(summa enim tranquillitas iam consecuta erat), ancoras sustulit, et pauca
+milia passuum progressus ante noctem Mysiam attigit. Ibi paucas horas in
+ancoris exspectavit; a nautis enim cognoverat aquae copiam quam secum
+haberent iam deficere, quam ob causam quidam ex Argonautis in terram
+egressi aquam quaerebant. Horum in numero erat Hylas quidam, puer forma
+praestantissima. Qui dum fontem quaerit, a comitibus paulum secesserat.
+Nymphae autem quae fontem colebant, cum iuvenem vidissent, ei persuadere
+conatae sunt ut secum maneret; et cum ille negaret se hoc facturum esse,
+puerum vi abstulerunt.
+
+Comites eius postquam Hylam amissum esse senserunt, magno dolore adfecti
+diu frustra quaerebant. Hercules autem et Polyphemus, qui vestigia pueri
+longius secuti erant, ubi tandem ad litus redierunt, Iasonem solvisse
+cognoverunt.
+
+64. _DIFFICULT DINING_
+
+Post haec Argonautae ad Thraciam cursum tenuerunt, et postquam ad oppidum
+Salmydessum navem appulerunt, in terram egressi sunt. Ibi cum ab incolis
+quaesissent quis regnum eius regionis obtineret, certiores facti sunt
+Phineum quendam tum regem esse. Cognoverunt etiam hunc caecum esse et
+diro quodam supplicio adfici, quod olim se crudelissimum in filios suos
+praebuisset. Cuius supplici hoc erat genus. Missa erant a Iove monstra
+quaedam specie horribili, quae capita virginum, corpora volucrum
+habebant. Hae volucres, quae Harpyiae appellabantur, Phineo summam
+molestiam adferebant; quotiens enim ille accubuerat, veniebant et cibum
+appositum statim auferebant. Quo factum est ut haud multum abesset quin
+Phineus fame moreretur.
+
+65. _THE DELIVERANCE OF PHINEUS_
+
+Res igitur male se habebat cum Argonautae navem appulerunt. Phineus autem
+simul atque audivit eos in suos finis egressos esse, magnopere gavisus
+est. Sciebat enim quantam opinionem virtutis Argonautae haberent, nec
+dubitabat quin sibi auxilium ferrent. Nuntium igitur ad navem misit, qui
+Iasonem sociosque ad regiam vocaret. Eo cum venissent, Phineus
+demonstravit quanto in periculo suae res essent, et promisit se magna
+praemia daturum esse, si illi remedium repperissent. Argonautae negotium
+libenter susceperunt, et ubi hora venit, cum rege accubuerunt; at simul
+ac cena apposita est, Harpyiae cenaculum intraverunt et cibum auferre
+conabantur. Argonautae primum gladiis volucres petierunt; cum tamen
+viderent hoc nihil prodesse, Zetes et Calais, qui alis erant instructi,
+in aera se sublevaverunt, ut desuper impetum facerent. Quod cum
+sensissent Harpyiae, rei novitate perterritae statim aufugerunt, neque
+postea umquam redierunt.
+
+66. _THE SYMPLEGADES_
+
+Hoc facto Phineus, ut pro tanto beneficio meritam gratiam referret,
+Iasoni demonstravit qua ratione Symplegades vitare posset. Symplegades
+autem duae erant rupes ingenti magnitudine, quae a Iove positae erant eo
+consilio, ne quis ad Colchida perveniret. Hae parvo intervallo in mari
+natabant, et si quid in medium spatium venerat, incredibili celeritate
+concurrebant. Postquam igitur a Phineo doctus est quid faciendum esset,
+Iason sublatis ancoris navem solvit, et leni vento provectus mox ad
+Symplegades appropinquavit. Tum in prora stans columbam quam in manu
+tenebat emisit. Illa recta via per medium spatium volavit, et priusquam
+rupes conflixerunt, incolumis evasit cauda tantum amissa. Tum rupes
+utrimque discesserunt; antequam tamen rursus concurrerent, Argonautae,
+bene intellegentes omnem spem salutis in celeritate positam esse, summa
+vi remis contenderunt et navem incolumem perduxerunt. Hoc facto dis
+gratias maximas egerunt, quorum auxilio e tanto periculo erepti essent;
+omnes enim sciebant non sine auxilio deorum rem tam feliciter evenisse.
+
+67. _A HEAVY TASK_
+
+Brevi intermisso spatio Argonautae ad flumen Phasim venerunt, quod in
+finibus Colchorum erat. Ibi cum navem appulissent et in terram egressi
+essent, statim ad regem Aeetem se contulerunt et ab eo postulaverunt ut
+vellus aureum sibi traderetur. Ille cum audivisset quam ob causam
+Argonautae venissent, ira commotus est et diu negabat se vellus
+traditurum esse. Tandem tamen, quod sciebat Iasonem non sine auxilio
+deorum hoc negotium suscepisse, mutata sententia promisit se vellus
+traditurum, si Iason labores duos difficillimos prius perfecisset; et cum
+Iason dixisset se ad omnia pericula subeunda paratum esse, quid fieri
+vellet ostendit. Primum iungendi erant duo tauri specie horribili, qui
+flammas ex ore edebant; tum his iunctis ager quidam arandus erat et
+dentes draconis serendi. His auditis Iason etsi rem esse summi periculi
+intellegebat, tamen, ne hanc occasionem rei bene gerendae amitteret,
+negotium suscepit.
+
+68. _THE MAGIC OINTMENT_
+
+Medea, regis filia, Iasonem adamavit, et ubi audivit eum tantum periculum
+subiturum esse, rem aegre ferebat. Intellegebat enim patrem suum hunc
+laborem proposuisse eo ipso consilio, ut Iason moreretur. Quae cum ita
+essent, Medea, quae summam scientiam medicinae habebat, hoc consilium
+iniit. Media nocte insciente patre ex urbe evasit, et postquam in montis
+finitimos venit, herbas quasdam carpsit; tum suco expresso unguentum
+paravit quod vi sua corpus aleret nervosque confirmaret. Hoc facto Iasoni
+unguentum dedit; praecepit autem ut eo die quo isti labores conficiendi
+essent corpus suum et arma mane oblineret. Iason etsi paene omnibus
+hominibus magnitudine et viribus corporis antecellebat (vita enim omnis
+in venationibus atque in studio rei militaris consumebatur), tamen hoc
+consilium non neglegendum esse censebat.
+
+69. _THE SOWING OF THE DRAGON'S TEETH_
+
+Ubi is dies venit quem rex ad arandum agrum edixerat, Iason orta luce cum
+sociis ad locum constitutum se contulit. Ibi stabulum ingens repperit, in
+quo tauri erant inclusi; tum portis apertis tauros in lucem traxit, et
+summa cum difficultate iugum imposuit. At Aeetes cum videret tauros nihil
+contra Iasonem valere, magnopere miratus est; nesciebat enim filiam suam
+auxilium ei dedisse. Tum Iason omnibus aspicientibus agrum arare coepit,
+qua in re tantam diligentiam praebuit ut ante meridiem totum opus
+confecerit. Hoc facto ad locum ubi rex sedebat adiit et dentis draconis
+postulavit; quos ubi accepit, in agrum quem araverat magna cum diligentia
+sparsit. Horum autem dentium natura erat talis ut in eo loco ubi sementes
+factae essent viri armati miro quodam modo gignerentur.
+
+70. _A STRANGE CROP_
+
+Nondum tamen Iason totum opus confecerat; imperaverat enim ei Aeetes ut
+armatos viros qui e dentibus gignerentur solus interficeret. Postquam
+igitur omnis dentis in agrum sparsit, Iason lassitudine exanimatus quieti
+se tradidit, dum viri isti gignerentur. Paucas horas dormiebat, sub
+vesperum tamen e somno subito excitatus rem ita evenisse ut praedictum
+esset cognovit; nam in omnibus agri partibus viri ingenti magnitudine
+corporis gladiis galeisque armati mirum in modum e terra oriebantur. Hoc
+cognito Iason consilium quod dedisset Medea non omittendum esse putabat.
+Saxum igitur ingens (ita enim Medea praeceperat) in medios viros
+coniecit. Illi undique ad locum concurrerunt, et cum quisque sibi id
+saxum nescio cur habere vellet, magna controversia orta est. Mox strictis
+gladiis inter se pugnare coeperunt, et cum hoc modo plurimi occisi
+essent, reliqui vulneribus confecti a Iasone nullo negotio interfecti
+sunt.
+
+71. _THE FLIGHT OF MEDEA_
+
+Rex Aeetes ubi Iasonem laborem propositum confecisse cognovit, ira
+graviter commotus est; id enim per dolum factum esse intellegebat; nec
+dubitabat quin Medea ei auxilium tulisset. Medea autem cum intellegeret
+se in magno fore periculo si in regia maneret, fuga salutem petere
+constituit. Omnibus rebus igitur ad fugam paratis media nocte insciente
+patre cum fratre Absyrto evasit, et quam celerrime ad locum ubi Argo
+subducta erat se contulit. Eo cum venisset, ad pedes Iasonis se proiecit,
+et multis cum lacrimis eum obsecravit ne in tanto discrimine mulierem
+desereret quae ei tantum profuisset. Ille quod memoria tenebat se per
+eius auxilium e magno periculo evasisse, libenter eam excepit, et
+postquam causam veniendi audivit, hortatus est ne patris iram timeret.
+Promisit autem se quam primum eam in navi sua avecturum.
+
+72. _THE SEIZURE OF THE FLEECE_
+
+Postridie eius diei Iason cum sociis suis orta luce navem deduxit, et
+tempestatem idoneam nacti ad eum locum remis contenderunt, quo in loco
+Medea vellus celatum esse demonstrabat. Cum eo venissent, Iason in terram
+egressus est, et sociis ad mare relictis, qui praesidio navi essent, ipse
+cum Medea in silvas se contulit. Pauca milia passuum per silvam
+progressus vellus quod quaerebat ex arbore suspensum vidit. Id tamen
+auferre erat summae difficultatis; non modo enim locus ipse egregie et
+natura et arte erat munitus, sed etiam draco quidam specie terribili
+arborem custodiebat. Tum Medea, quae, ut supra demonstravimus, medicinae
+summam scientiam habuit, ramum quem de arbore proxima deripuerat veneno
+infecit. Hoc facto ad locum appropinquavit, et draconem, qui faucibus
+apertis eius adventum exspectabat, veneno sparsit; deinde, dum draco
+somno oppressus dormit, Iason vellus aureum de arbore deripuit et cum
+Medea quam celerrime pedem rettulit.
+
+73. _THE RETURN TO THE ARGO_
+
+Dum autem ea geruntur, Argonautae, qui ad mare relicti erant, anxio animo
+reditum Iasonis exspectabant; id enim negotium summi esse periculi
+intellegebant. Postquam igitur ad occasum solis frustra exspectaverunt,
+de eius salute desperare coeperunt, nec dubitabant quin aliqui casus
+accidisset. Quae cum ita essent, maturandum sibi censuerunt, ut duci
+auxilium ferrent; sed dum proficisci parant, lumen quoddam subito
+conspiciunt mirum in modum intra silvas refulgens, et magnopere mirati
+quae causa esset eius rei ad locum concurrunt. Quo cum venissent, Iasoni
+et Medeae advenientibus occurrerunt, et vellus aureum luminis eius causam
+esse cognoverunt. Omni timore sublato magno cum gaudio ducem suum
+exceperunt, et dis gratias maximas egerunt quod res tam feliciter
+evenisset.
+
+74. _THE PURSUIT_
+
+His rebus gestis omnes sine mora navem rursus conscenderunt, et sublatis
+ancoris prima vigilia solverunt; neque enim satis tutum esse arbitrati
+sunt in eo loco manere. At rex Aeetes, qui iam ante inimico in eos fuerat
+animo, ubi cognovit filiam suam non modo ad Argonautas se recepisse sed
+etiam ad vellus auferendum auxilium tulisse, hoc dolore gravius exarsit.
+Navem longam quam celerrime deduci iussit, et militibus impositis
+fugientis insecutus est. Argonautae, qui rem in discrimine esse bene
+sciebant, omnibus viribus remis contendebant; cum tamen navis qua
+vehebantur ingenti esset magnitudine, non eadem celeritate qua Colchi
+progredi poterant. Quo factum est ut minimum abesset quin a Colchis
+sequentibus caperentur, neque enim longius intererat quam quo telum adici
+posset. At Medea cum vidisset quo in loco res essent, paene omni spe
+deposita infandum hoc consilium cepit.
+
+75. _A FEARFUL EXPEDIENT_
+
+Erat in navi Argonautarum filius quidam regis Aeetae, nomine Absyrtus,
+quem, ut supra demonstravimus, Medea ex urbe fugiens secum abduxerat.
+Hunc puerum Medea interficere constituit eo consilio, ut membris eius in
+mare coniectis cursum Colchorum impediret; certo enim sciebat Aeetem, cum
+membra fili vidisset, non longius prosecuturum esse. Neque opinio Medeam
+fefellit, omnia enim ita evenerunt ut speraverat. Aeetes ubi primum
+membra vidit, ad ea conligenda navem teneri iussit. Dum tamen ea
+geruntur, Argonautae non intermisso remigandi labore mox e conspectu
+hostium auferebantur, neque prius fugere destiterunt quam ad flumen
+Eridanum pervenerunt. Aeetes nihil sibi profuturum esse arbitratus si
+longius progressus esset, animo demisso domum revertit, ut fili corpus ad
+sepulturam daret.
+
+76. _THE BARGAIN WITH PELIAS_
+
+Tandem post multa pericula Iason in eundem locum pervenit unde profectus
+erat. Tum e navi egressus ad regem Peliam, qui regnum adhuc obtinebat,
+statim se contulit, et vellere aureo monstrato ab eo postulavit ut regnum
+sibi traderetur; Pelias enim pollicitus erat, si Iason vellus
+rettulisset, se regnum ei traditurum. Postquam Iason quid fieri vellet
+ostendit, Pelias primo nihil respondit, sed diu in eadem tristitia
+tacitus permansit; tandem ita locutus est: "Vides me aetate iam esse
+confectum, neque dubium est quin dies supremus mihi appropinquet. Liceat
+igitur mihi, dum vivam, hoc regnum obtinere; cum autem tandem decessero,
+tu mihi succedes." Hac oratione adductus Iason respondit se id facturum
+quod ille rogasset.
+
+77. _MAGIC ARTS_
+
+His rebus cognitis Medea rem aegre tulit, et regni cupiditate adducta
+mortem regi per dolum inferre constituit. Hoc constituto ad filias regis
+venit atque ita locuta est: "Videtis patrem vestrum aetate iam esse
+confectum neque ad laborem regnandi perferendum satis valere. Vultisne
+eum rursus iuvenem fieri?" Tum filiae regis ita responderunt: "Num hoc
+fieri potest? Quis enim umquam e sene iuvenis factus est?" At Medea
+respondit: "Me medicinae summam habere scientiam scitis. Nunc igitur
+vobis demonstrabo quo modo haec res fieri possit." Postquam finem
+loquendi fecit, arietem aetate iam confectum interfecit et membra eius in
+vase aeneo posuit, atque igni supposito in aquam herbas quasdam infudit.
+Tum, dum aqua effervesceret, carmen magicum cantabat. Mox aries e vase
+exsiluit et viribus refectis per agros currebat.
+
+78. _A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT_
+
+Dum filiae regis hoc miraculum stupentes intuentur, Medea ita locuta est:
+"Videtis quantum valeat medicina. Vos igitur, si vultis patrem vestrum in
+adulescentiam reducere, id quod feci ipsae facietis. Vos patris membra in
+vas conicite; ego herbas magicas praebebo." Quod ubi auditum est, filiae
+regis consilium quod dedisset Medea non omittendum putaverunt. Patrem
+igitur Peliam necaverunt et membra eius in vas aeneum coniecerunt; nihil
+autem dubitabant quin hoc maxime ei profuturum esset. At res omnino
+aliter evenit ac speraverant, Medea enim non easdem herbas dedit quibus
+ipsa usa erat. Itaque postquam diu frustra exspectaverunt, patrem suum re
+vera mortuum esse intellexerunt. His rebus gestis Medea se cum coniuge
+suo regnum accepturam esse sperabat; sed cives cum intellegerent quo modo
+Pelias periisset, tantum scelus aegre tulerunt. Itaque Iasone et Medea e
+regno expulsis Acastum regem creaverunt.
+
+79. _A FATAL GIFT_
+
+Iason et Medea e Thessalia expulsi ad urbem Corinthum venerunt, cuius
+urbis Creon quidam regnum tum obtinebat. Erat autem Creonti filia una,
+nomine Glauce. Quam cum vidisset, Iason constituit Medeae uxori suae
+nuntium mittere eo consilio, ut Glaucen in matrimonium duceret. At Medea
+ubi intellexit quae ille in animo haberet, ira graviter commota iure
+iurando confirmavit se tantam iniuriam ulturam. Hoc igitur consilium
+cepit. Vestem paravit summa arte textam et variis coloribus infectam;
+hanc mortifero quodam veneno tinxit, cuius vis talis erat ut si quis eam
+vestem induisset, corpus eius quasi igni ureretur. Hoc facto vestem ad
+Glaucen misit; illa autem nihil mali suspicans donum libenter accepit, et
+vestem novam more feminarum statim induit.
+
+80. _MEDEA KILLS HER SONS_
+
+Vix vestem induerat Glauce cum dolorem gravem per omnia membra sensit, et
+paulo post crudeli cruciatu adfecta e vita excessit. His rebus gestis
+Medea furore atque amentia impulsa filios suos necavit; tum magnum sibi
+fore periculum arbitrata si in Thessalia maneret, ex ea regione fugere
+constituit. Hoc constituto solem oravit ut in tanto periculo auxilium
+sibi praeberet. Sol autem his precibus commotus currum misit cui erant
+iuncti dracones alis instructi. Medea non omittendam tantam occasionem
+arbitrata currum ascendit, itaque per aera vecta incolumis ad urbem
+Athenas pervenit. Iason ipse brevi tempore miro modo occisus est. Accidit
+sive casu sive consilio deorum ut sub umbra navis suae, quae in litus
+subducta erat, dormiret. Mox navis, quae adhuc erecta steterat, in eam
+partem ubi Iason iacebat subito delapsa virum infelicem oppressit.
+

+
+
+ULYSSES
+
+
+_Ulysses, a famous Greek hero, took a prominent part in the long siege of
+Troy. After the fall of the city, he set out with his followers on his
+homeward voyage to Ithaca, an island of which he was king; but being
+driven out of his course by northerly winds, he was compelled to touch at
+the country of the Lotus-eaters, who are supposed to have lived on the
+north coast of Africa. Some of his comrades were so delighted with the
+lotus fruit that they wished to remain in the country, but Ulysses
+compelled them to embark again and continued his voyage. He next came to
+the island of Sicily, and fell into the hands of the giant Polyphemus,
+one of the Cyclopes. After several of his comrades had been killed by
+this monster, Ulysses made his escape by stratagem and reached the
+country of the winds. Here he received the help of Aeolus, king of the
+winds, and having set sail again, arrived within sight of Ithaca; but
+owing to the folly of his companions, the winds became suddenly adverse
+and he was again driven back. He then touched at an island which was the
+home of Circe, a powerful enchantress, who exercised her charms on his
+companions and turned them into swine. By the help of the god Mercury,
+Ulysses not only escaped this fate himself, but also forced Circe to
+restore her victims to human shape. After staying a year with Circe, he
+again set out and eventually reached his home_.
+
+
+81. _HOMEWARD BOUND_
+
+Urbem Troiam a Graecis decem annos obsessam esse satis constat; de hoc
+enim bello Homerus, maximus poetarum Graecorum, Iliadem opus notissimum
+scripsit. Troia tandem per insidias capta, Graeci longo bello fessi domum
+redire maturaverunt. Omnibus rebus igitur ad profectionem paratis navis
+deduxerunt, et tempestatem idoneam nacti magno cum gaudio solverunt. Erat
+inter primos Graecorum Ulixes quidam, vir summae virtutis ac prudentiae,
+quem dicunt nonnulli dolum istum excogitasse quo Troiam captam esse
+constat. Hic regnum insulae Ithacae obtinuerat, et paulo antequam cum
+reliquis Graecis ad bellum profectus est, puellam formosissimam, nomine
+Penelopen, in matrimonium duxerat. Nunc igitur cum iam decem annos quasi
+in exsilio consumpsisset, magna cupiditate patriae et uxoris videndae
+ardebat.
+
+82. _THE LOTUS-EATERS_
+
+Postquam tamen pauca milia passuum a litore Troiae progressi sunt, tanta
+tempestas subito coorta est ut nulla navium cursum tenere posset, sed
+aliae alias in partis disicerentur. Navis autem qua ipse Ulixes vehebatur
+vi tempestatis ad meridiem delata decimo die ad litus Libyae appulsa est.
+Ancoris iactis Ulixes constituit nonnullos e sociis in terram exponere,
+qui aquam ad navem referrent et qualis esset natura eius regionis
+cognoscerent. Hi igitur e navi egressi imperata facere parabant. Dum
+tamen fontem quaerunt, quibusdam ex incolis obviam facti ab iis hospitio
+accepti sunt. Accidit autem ut maior pars victus eorum hominum in miro
+quodam fructu quem lotum appellabant consisteret. Quam cum Graeci
+gustassent, patriae et sociorum statim obliti confirmaverunt se semper in
+ea terra mansuros, ut dulci illo cibo in perpetuum vescerentur.
+
+83. _THE RESCUE_
+
+Ulixes cum ab hora septima ad vesperum exspectasset, veritus ne socii sui
+in periculo versarentur, nonnullos e reliquis misit, ut quae causa esset
+morae cognoscerent. Hi igitur in terram expositi ad vicum qui non longe
+aberat se contulerunt; quo cum venissent, socios suos quasi vino ebrios
+reppererunt. Tum ubi causam veniendi docuerunt, iis persuadere conabantur
+ut secum ad navem redirent. Illi tamen resistere ac manu se defendere
+coeperunt, saepe clamitantes se numquam ex eo loco abituros. Quae cum ita
+essent, nuntii re infecta ad Ulixem redierunt. His rebus cognitis ipse
+cum omnibus qui in navi relicti erant ad locum venit; et socios suos
+frustra hortatus ut sua sponte redirent, manibus eorum post terga vinctis
+invitos ad navem reportavit. Tum ancoris sublatis quam celerrime e portu
+solvit.
+
+84. _THE ONE-EYED GIANT_
+
+Postquam ea tota nocte remis contenderunt, postridie ad terram ignotam
+navem appulerunt. Tum, quod naturam eius regionis ignorabat, ipse Ulixes
+cum duodecim e sociis in terram egressus loca explorare constituit.
+Paulum a litore progressi ad speluncam ingentem pervenerunt, quam
+habitari senserunt; eius enim introitum et natura loci et manu munitum
+esse animadverterunt. Mox, etsi intellegebant se non sine periculo id
+facturos, speluncam intraverunt; quod cum fecissent, magnam copiam lactis
+in vasis ingentibus conditam invenerunt. Dum tamen mirantur quis in ea
+sede habitaret, sonitum terribilem audiverunt, et oculis ad portam tortis
+monstrum horribile viderunt, humana quidem specie et figura, sed ingenti
+magnitudine corporis. Cum autem animadvertissent monstrum unum oculum
+tantum habere in media fronte positum, intellexerunt hunc esse unum e
+Cyclopibus, de quibus famam iam acceperant.
+
+85. _THE GIANT'S SUPPER_
+
+Cyclopes autem pastores erant quidam qui insulam Siciliam et praecipue
+montem Aetnam incolebant; ibi enim Volcanus, praeses fabrorum et ignis
+repertor, cuius servi Cyclopes erant, officinam suam habebat.
+
+Graeci igitur simul ac monstrum viderunt, terrore paene exanimati in
+interiorem partem speluncae refugerunt et se ibi abdere conabantur.
+Polyphemus autem (sic enim Cyclops appellabatur) pecus suum in speluncam
+compulit; deinde, cum saxo ingenti portam obstruxisset, ignem in media
+spelunca fecit. Hoc facto, oculo omnia perlustrabat, et cum sensisset
+homines in interiore parte speluncae esse abditos, magna voce exclamavit:
+"Qui homines estis? Mercatores an latrones?" Tum Ulixes respondit se
+neque mercatores esse neque praedandi causa venisse; sed a Troia
+redeuntis vi tempestatum a recto cursu depulsos esse. Oravit etiam ut
+sibi sine iniuria abire liceret. Tum Polyphemus quaesivit ubi esset navis
+qua vecti essent; sed Ulixes cum sibi maxime praecavendum esse bene
+intellegeret, respondit navem suam in rupis coniectam omnino fractam
+esse. Polyphemus autem nullo responso dato duo e sociis manu corripuit,
+et membris eorum divulsis carnem devorare coepit.
+
+86. _A DESPERATE SITUATION_
+
+Dum haec geruntur, Graecorum animos tantus terror occupavit ut ne vocem
+quidem edere possent, sed omni spe salutis deposita mortem praesentem
+exspectarent. Polyphemus, postquam fames hac tam horribili cena depulsa
+est, humi prostratus somno se dedit. Quod cum vidisset Ulixes, tantam
+occasionem rei gerendae non omittendam arbitratus, in eo erat ut pectus
+monstri gladio transfigeret. Cum tamen nihil temere agendum existimaret,
+constituit explorare, antequam hoc faceret, qua ratione ex spelunca
+evadere possent. At cum saxum animadvertisset quo introitus obstructus
+erat, nihil sibi profuturum intellexit si Polyphemum interfecisset. Tanta
+enim erat eius saxi magnitudo ut ne a decem quidem hominibus amoveri
+posset. Quae cum ita essent, Ulixes hoc conatu destitit et ad socios
+rediit; qui cum intellexissent quo in loco res essent, nulla spe salutis
+oblata de fortunis suis desperare coeperunt. Ille tamen ne animos
+demitterent vehementer hortatus est; demonstravit se iam antea e multis
+et magnis periculis evasisse, neque dubium esse quin in tanto discrimine
+di auxilium laturi essent.
+
+87. _A PLAN FOR VENGEANCE_
+
+Orta luce Polyphemus iam e somno excitatus idem quod hesterno die fecit;
+correptis enim duobus e reliquis viris carnem eorum sine mora devoravit.
+Tum, cum saxum amovisset, ipse cum pecore suo ex spelunca progressus est;
+quod cum Graeci viderent, magnam in spem se post paulum evasuros
+venerunt. Mox tamen ab hac spe repulsi sunt; nam Polyphemus, postquam
+omnes oves exierunt, saxum in locum restituit. Reliqui omni spe salutis
+deposita lamentis lacrimisque se dediderunt; Ulixes vero, qui, ut supra
+demonstravimus, vir magni fuit consili, etsi intellegebat rem in
+discrimine esse, nondum omnino desperabat. Tandem, postquam diu haec toto
+animo cogitavit, hoc consilium cepit. E lignis quae in spelunca reposita
+erant palum magnum delegit. Hunc summa cum diligentia praeacutum fecit;
+tum, postquam sociis quid fieri vellet ostendit, reditum Polyphemi
+exspectabat.
+
+88. _A GLASS TOO MUCH_
+
+Sub vesperum Polyphemus ad speluncam rediit, et eodem modo quo antea
+cenavit. Tum Ulixes utrem vini prompsit, quem forte (id quod ei erat
+saluti) secum attulerat; et postquam magnum poculum vino complevit,
+monstrum ad bibendum provocavit. Polyphemus, qui numquam antea vinum
+gustaverat, totum poculum statim exhausit; quod cum fecisset, tantam
+voluptatem percepit ut iterum et tertium poculum repleri iusserit. Tum,
+cum quaesivisset quo nomine Ulixes appellaretur, ille respondit se
+Neminem appellari; quod cum audivisset, Polyphemus ita locutus est:
+"Hanc, tibi gratiam pro tanto beneficio referam; te postremum omnium
+devorabo." Hoc cum dixisset, cibo vinoque gravis recubuit et brevi
+tempore somno oppressus est. Tum Ulixes sociis convocatis, "Habemus,"
+inquit, "quam petiimus facultatem; ne igitur tantam occasionem rei
+gerendae omittamus."
+
+89. _THE BLINDING OF POLYPHEMUS_
+
+Hac oratione habita, postquam extremum palum igni calefecit, oculum
+Polyphemi dormientis ferventi ligno perfodit; quo facto omnes in diversas
+speluncae partis se abdiderunt. At ille subito illo dolore oculi e somno
+excitatus clamorem terribilem sustulit, et dum per speluncam errat,
+Ulixem manu prehendere conabatur; cum tamen iam omnino caecus esset,
+nullo modo hoc efficere potuit. Interea reliqui Cyclopes clamore audito
+undique ad speluncam convenerunt, et ad introitum adstantes quid
+Polyphemus ageret quaesiverunt, et quam ob causam tantum clamorem
+sustulisset. Ille respondit se graviter vulneratum esse et magno dolore
+adfici. Cum tamen postea quaesivissent quis ei vim intulisset, respondit
+ille Neminem id fecisse; quibus rebus auditis unus e Cyclopibus: "At si
+nemo," inquit, "te vulneravit, haud dubium est quin consilio deorum,
+quibus resistere nec possumus nec volumus, hoc supplicio adficiaris." Hoc
+cum dixisset, abierunt Cyclopes eum in insaniam incidisse arbitrati.
+
+90. _THE ESCAPE_
+
+Polyphemus ubi socios suos abiisse sensit, furore atque amentia impulsus
+Ulixem iterum quaerere coepit; tandem cum portam invenisset, saxum quo
+obstructa erat amovit, ut pecus in agros exiret. Tum ipse in introitu
+consedit, et ut quaeque ovis ad hunc locum venerat, eius tergum manibus
+tractabat, ne viri inter ovis exire possent. Quod cum animadvertisset
+Ulixes, intellexit omnem spem salutis in dolo magis quam in virtute poni.
+Itaque hoc consilium iniit. Primum tris quas vidit pinguissimas ex ovibus
+delegit, quas cum inter se viminibus coniunxisset, unum ex sociis suis
+ventribus earum ita subiecit ut omnino lateret; deinde ovis hominem secum
+ferentis ad portam egit. Id accidit quod fore suspicatus erat. Polyphemus
+enim postquam terga ovium manibus tractavit, eas praeterire passus est.
+Ulixes ubi rem tam feliciter evenisse vidit, omnis socios suos ex ordine
+eodem modo emisit; quo facto ipse novissimus evasit.
+
+91. _OUT OF DANGER_
+
+Iis rebus ita confectis, Ulixes veritus ne Polyphemus fraudem sentiret,
+cum sociis quam celerrime ad litus contendit; quo cum venissent, ab iis
+qui navi praesidio relicti erant magna cum laetitia excepti sunt. Hi enim
+cum anxiis animis iam tris dies continuos reditum eorum exspectavissent,
+eos in aliquod periculum magnum incidisse (id quidem quod erat)
+suspicati, ipsi auxiliandi causa egredi parabant. Tum Ulixes non satis
+tutum arbitratus in eo loco manere, quam celerrime profisisci constituit.
+Iussit igitur omnis navem conscendere, et ancoris sublatis paulum a
+litore in altum provectus est. Tum magna voce exclamavit: "Tu, Polypheme,
+qui iura hospiti spernis, iustam et debitam poenam immanitatis tuae
+solvisti." Hac voce audita Polyphemus ira vehementer commotus ad mare se
+contulit, et ubi navem paulum a litore remotam esse intellexit, saxum
+ingens manu correptum in eam partem coniecit unde vocem venire sensit.
+Graeci autem, etsi non multum afuit quin submergerentur, nullo damno
+accepto cursum tenuerunt.
+
+92. _THE COUNTRY OF THE WINDS_
+
+Pauca milia passuum ab eo loco progressus Ulixes ad insulam Aeoliam navem
+appulit. Haec patria erat ventorum,
+
+ "Hic vasto rex Aeolus antro
+ luctantis ventos tempestatesque sonoras
+ imperio premit ac vinclis et carcere frenat."
+
+Ibi rex ipse Graecos hospitio excepit, atque iis persuasit ut ad
+recuperandas viris paucos dies in ea regione commorarentur. Septimo die
+cum socii e laboribus se recepissent, Ulixes, ne anni tempore a
+navigatione excluderetur, sibi sine mora proficiscendum statuit. Tum
+Aeolus, qui sciebat Ulixem cupidissimum esse patriae videndae, ei iam
+profecturo magnum saccum e corio confectum dedit, in quo ventos omnis
+praeter unum incluserat. Zephyrum tantum solverat, quod ille ventus ab
+insula Aeolia ad Ithacam naviganti est secundus. Ulixes hoc donum
+libenter accepit, et gratiis pro tanto beneficio actis saccum ad malum
+adligavit. Tum omnibus rebus ad profectionem paratis meridiano fere
+tempore e portu solvit.
+
+93. _THE WIND-BAG_
+
+Novem dies secundissimo vento cursum tenuerunt, iamque in conspectum
+patriae suae venerant, cum Ulixes lassitudine confectus (ipse enim
+gubernabat) ad quietem capiendam recubuit. At socii, qui iam dudum
+mirabantur quid in illo sacco inclusum esset, cum ducem somno oppressum
+viderent, tantam occasionem non omittendam arbitrati sunt; credebant enim
+aurum et argentum ibi esse celata. Itaque spe lucri adducti saccum sine
+mora solverunt, quo facto venti
+
+ "velut agmine facto
+ qua data porta ruunt, et terras turbine perflant."
+
+Hic tanta tempestas subito coorta est ut illi cursum tenere non possent
+sed in eandem partem unde erant profecti referrentur. Ulixes e somno
+excitatus quo in loco res esset statim intellexit; saccum solutum,
+Ithacam post tergum relictam vidit. Tum vero ira vehementer exarsit
+sociosque obiurgabat quod cupiditate pecuniae adducti spem patriae
+videndae proiecissent.
+
+94. _A DRAWING OF LOTS_
+
+Brevi spatio intermisso Graeci insulae cuidam appropinquaverunt in qua
+Circe, filia Solis, habitabat. Quo cum navem appulisset, Ulixes in terram
+frumentandi causa egrediendum esse statuit; nam cognoverat frumentum quod
+in navi haberent iam deficere. Sociis igitur ad se convocatis quo in loco
+res esset et quid fieri vellet ostendit. Cum tamen omnes memoria tenerent
+quam crudeli morte necati essent ii qui nuper e navi egressi essent, nemo
+repertus est qui hoc negotium suscipere vellet. Quae cum ita essent, res
+ad controversiam deducta est. Tandem Ulixes consensu omnium socios in
+duas partis divisit, quarum alteri Eurylochus, vir summae virtutis,
+alteri ipse praeesse. Tum hi inter se sortiti sunt uter in terram
+egrederetur. Hoc facto, Eurylocho sorte evenit ut cum duobus et viginti
+sociis rem susciperet.
+
+95. _THE HOUSE OF THE ENCHANTRESS_
+
+His rebus ita constitutis ii qui sortiti erant in interiorem partem
+insulae profecti sunt. Tantus tamen timor animos eorum occupaverat ut
+nihil dubitarent quin morti obviam irent. Vix quidem poterant ii qui in
+navi relicti erant lacrimas tenere; credebant enim se socios suos numquam
+post hoc tempus visuros. Illi autem aliquantum itineris progressi ad
+villam quandam pervenerunt summa magnificentia aedificatam, cuius ad
+ostium cum adiissent, cantum dulcissimum audiverunt. Tanta autem fuit
+eius vocis dulcedo ut nullo modo retineri possent quin ianuam pulsarent.
+Hoc facto ipsa Circe foras exiit, et summa cum benignitate omnis in
+hospitium invitavit. Eurylochus insidias sibi comparari suspicatus foris
+exspectare constituit, sed reliqui rei novitate adducti intraverunt.
+Cenam magnificam omnibus rebus instructam invenerunt et iussu dominae
+libentissime accubuerunt. At Circe vinum quod servi apposuerunt
+medicamento quodam miscuerat; quod cum Graeci bibissent, gravi somno
+subito oppressi sunt.
+
+96. _THE CHARM_
+
+Tum Circe, quae artis magicae summam scientiam habebat, baculo aureo quod
+gerebat capita eorum tetigit; quo facto omnes in porcos subito conversi
+sunt. Interea Eurylochus ignarus quid in aedibus ageretur ad ostium
+sedebat; postquam tamen ad solis occasum anxio animo et sollicito
+exspectavit, solus ad navem regredi constituit. Eo cum venisset,
+sollicitudine ac timore tam perturbatus fuit ut quae vidisset vix
+dilucide narrare posset. Ulixes autem satis intellexit socios suos in
+periculo versari, et gladio correpto Eurylocho imperavit ut sine mora
+viam ad istam domum demonstraret. Ille tamen multis cum lacrimis Ulixem
+complexus obsecrare coepit ne in tantum periculum se committeret; si quid
+gravius ei accidisset, omnium salutem in summo discrimine futuram. Ulixes
+autem respondit se neminem invitum secum adducturum; ei licere, si
+mallet, in navi manere; se ipsum sine ullo praesidio rem suscepturum. Hoc
+cum magna voce dixisset, e navi desiluit et nullo sequente solus in viam
+se dedit.
+
+97. _THE COUNTERCHARM_
+
+Aliquantum itineris progressus ad villam magnificam pervenit, quam cum
+oculis perlustrasset, statim intrare statuit; intellexit enim hanc esse
+eandem domum de qua Eurylochus mentionem fecisset. At cum in eo esset ut
+limen intraret, subito ei obviam stetit adulescens forma pulcherrima
+aureum baculum gerens. Hic Ulixem iam domum intrantem manu corripuit et,
+"Quo ruis?" inquit. "Nonne scis hanc esse Circes domum? Hic inclusi sunt
+amici tui ex humana specie in porcos conversi. Num vis ipse in eandem
+calamitatem venire?" Ulixes simul ac vocem audivit, deum Mercurium
+agnovit; nullis tamen precibus ab instituto consilio deterreri potuit.
+Quod cum Mercurius sensisset, herbam quandam ei dedit, quam contra
+carmina multum valere dicebat. "Hanc cape," inquit, "et ubi Circe te
+baculo tetigerit, tu stricto gladio impetum in eam vide ut facias."
+Mercurius postquam finem loquendi fecit,
+
+ "mortalis visus medio sermone reliquit,
+ et procul in tenuem ex oculis evanuit auram."
+
+98. _THE ENCHANTRESS IS FOILED_
+
+Brevi intermisso spatio Ulixes ad omnia pericula subeunda paratus ianuam
+pulsavit, et foribus patefactis ab ipsa Circe benigne exceptus est. Omnia
+eodem modo atque antea facta sunt. Cenam magnifice instructam vidit et
+accumbere iussus est. Mox, ubi fames cibo depulsa est, Circe poculum
+aureum vino repletum Ulixi dedit. Ille etsi suspicatus est venenum sibi
+paratum esse, poculum exhausit; quo facto Circe postquam caput eius
+baculo tetigit, ea verba locuta est quibus socios eius antea in porcos
+converterat. Res tamen omnino aliter evenit atque illa speraverat. Tanta
+enim vis erat eius herbae quam Ulixi Mercurius dederat ut neque venenum
+neque verba quicquam efficere possent. Ulixes autem, ut ei praeceptum
+erat, gladio stricto impetum in eam fecit et mortem minitabatur. Circe
+cum artem suam nihil valere sensisset, multis cum lacrimis eum obsecrare
+coepit ne sibi vitam adimeret.
+
+99. _MEN ONCE MORE_
+
+Ulixes autem ubi sensit eam timore perterritam esse, postulavit ut socios
+suos sine mora in humanam speciem reduceret (certior enim factus erat a
+deo Mercurio eos in porcos conversos esse); nisi id factum esset, se
+debitas poenas sumpturum ostendit. Circe his rebus graviter commota ei ad
+pedes se proiecit, et multis cum lacrimis iure iurando confirmavit se
+quae ille imperasset omnia facturam. Tum porcos in atrium immitti iussit.
+Illi dato signo inruerunt, et cum ducem suum agnovissent, magno dolore
+adfecti sunt quod nullo modo eum de rebus suis certiorem facere poterant.
+Circe tamen unguento quodam corpora eorum unxit; quo facto sunt omnes
+statim in humanam speciem reducti. Magno cum gaudio Ulixes suos amicos
+agnovit, et nuntium ad litus misit, qui reliquis Graecis socios receptos
+esse diceret. Illi autem his rebus cognitis statim ad domum Circaeam se
+contulerunt; quo cum venissent, universi laetitiae se dediderunt.
+
+[Illustration: ULYSSES AND CIRCE]
+
+100. _AFLOAT AGAIN_
+
+Postridie eius diei Ulixes ex hac insula quam celerrime discedere in
+animo habebat. Circe tamen cum haec cognovisset, ex odio ad amorem
+conversa omnibus precibus eum orare et obtestari coepit ut paucos dies
+apud se moraretur; qua re tandem impetrata tanta beneficia in eum
+contulit ut facile ei persuasum sit ut diutius maneret. Postquam tamen
+totum annum apud Circen consumpserat, Ulixes magno desiderio patriae
+suae motus est. Sociis igitur ad se convocatis quid in animo haberet
+ostendit. Ubi tamen ad litus descendit, navem suam tempestatibus tam
+adflictam invenit ut ad navigandum paene inutilis esset. Hac re cognita
+omnia quae ad navis reficiendas usui essent comparari iussit, qua in re
+tantam diligentiam omnes adhibebant ut ante tertium diem opus
+perfecerint. At Circe ubi omnia ad profectionem parata esse vidit, rem
+aegre ferebat et Ulixem vehementer obsecrabat ut eo consilio desisteret.
+Ille tamen, ne anni tempore a navigatione excluderetur, maturandum sibi
+existimavit, et tempestatem idoneam nactus navem solvit. Multa quidem
+pericula Ulixi subeunda erant antequam in patriam suam perveniret, quae
+tamen hoc loco longum est perscribere.

+
+
+NOTES
+
+
+PERSEUS
+
+_The numbers refer to the page of text and the line on the page
+respectively_.
+
+
+3.6. Danae. Many proper names in this book are words borrowed by Latin
+from Greek, and have forms not given in the regular Latin declensions. It
+will not be necessary to learn the declension of such words.
+
+7. enim. This word commonly stands second in its clause.
+
+8. turbabat. Notice that this verb and dormiebat below are in the
+imperfect tense to denote a state of things existing at the past time
+indicated by territa est.
+
+autem. This word has the same peculiarity of position as enim; so also
+igitur, which occurs in line 11.
+
+12. Seriphum. Notice that Latin says 'the island Seriphos,' but English
+more often 'the island of Seriphos.'
+
+13. appulsa est. Postquam is regularly followed by the perfect or present
+indicative, but the English translation usually requires the pluperfect.
+
+15. quodam. _Quidam_ means 'certain' as applied to some person or thing
+not fully described, while _certus_ means 'certain' in the sense of
+'determined.' 'sure,'
+
+ad domum. This means 'to the house'; 'to be brought home' would be _domum
+adduci_, without the preposition.
+
+16. Ille is often used, as here, when the subject is changed to a person
+mentioned in the preceding sentence. In this use it is to be translated
+'he.'
+
+18. beneficio. See the derivation of this word in the vocabulary.
+
+20. multos annos. Duration of time is regularly expressed in the
+accusative case.
+
+22. eam. Latin has no pronoun of the third person, and _is_ often takes
+the place of one; it is then to be translated 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' 'they,'
+according to its form.
+
+25. haec. The literal translation would be 'these things,' but we must
+say 'thus' or 'as follows.'
+
+4. 1. es. With iam dudum and similar expressions of duration, the present
+indicative is often used to denote an action or state begun in the past
+but continuing in the present. The English equivalent is the perfect.
+
+hic, is not the pronoun, but an adverb.
+
+2. mihi. This dative may be translated 'for me.' How would 'to me' with a
+verb of motion be put?
+
+3. refer. _Dico, duco, facio_, and _fero_ have the imperative forms _dic,
+duc, fac_, and _fer_, instead of _dice_, etc.
+
+4. Perseus. When the subordinate and the principal clause of a Latin
+sentence have the same subject, this usually stands first, followed by
+the subordinate clause.
+
+haec. Here a different rendering is required from that suggested in the
+note on 3, 25. What is it? Notice that it is necessary to know the
+literal significance of the Latin words, but that the translation must
+often be something quite different if it is to be acceptable English. The
+rule for translation is: Discover the exact meaning of the original; then
+express the same idea correctly and, if you can, elegantly in the
+language into which you are translating.
+
+5. continentem. What is the derivation of this word?
+
+venit. Is this present or perfect? How do you know?
+
+8. Graeas. The Graeae were three old women who had one eye and one
+tooth in common, and took turns in using them.
+
+9. galeam. This belonged to Pluto, the god of the underworld of the dead,
+and whosoever wore it was invisible. The story is that Perseus compelled
+the Graeae to tell him how to obtain the helps to his enterprise by
+seizing their tooth and eye.
+
+11. pedibus, 'on his feet,' dative of indirect object.
+
+induit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+aera. _Aer_ is borrowed from Greek, and keeps this Greek form for its
+accusative.
+
+12. volabat. Distinguish between _volo, volare_, and _volo, velle_.
+
+13. ceteris. _Ceteri_ is used to denote all not already named ('the
+other'), while _alii_ denotes some of those who have not been already
+named ('other').
+
+14. specie horribili, 'of terrible appearance.' ablative of description.
+A noun never stands alone in this construction,
+
+earum. See the note on 3, 22.
+
+15. contecta. This and factae below are used as predicate adjectives, not
+to form the pluperfect passive with erant. Translate, therefore, 'were
+covered.' not 'had been covered.'
+
+18. vertebantur. The imperfect here denotes customary action, one of its
+regular uses.
+
+19. Ille. See the note on 3, 16.
+
+20. hoc modo, ablative of manner.
+
+21. venit, dormiebat. The perfect simply expresses an action which took
+place in past time, the imperfect tells of a state of things existing at
+that past time.
+
+25. fugit. When dum means 'while,' 'as,' it is followed by the present
+indicative, even when used of past events.
+
+26. fecit. Like _postquam_, ubi has the present or perfect indicative,
+where English would use the pluperfect.
+
+5. 2. illo tempore, ablative of time.
+
+regnabat. Observe the force of the tense, and try to find the reason for
+each change of tense in this paragraph.
+
+Hic. This must here be translated simply 'he.' Compare the use of Ille,
+3, 16.
+
+4. veniebat. See the note on 4, 18.
+
+6. omnium, 'of all men.' or 'of all.' The adjective is used as a noun, as
+in the second of the English expressions.
+
+oraculum. It was believed in antiquity that the will of the gods and a
+knowledge of future events might be learned at certain shrines, of which
+the most famous were those of Apollo at Delphi, of Zeus or Jupiter at
+Dodona, and of Hammon in Egypt. Hammon was really an Egyptian god,
+represented as having the horns of a ram, but he was identified by the
+Greeks with Zeus and by the Romans with Jupiter.
+
+7. filiam. Where there is no ambiguity, the possessive is often omitted
+in Latin.
+
+8. autem, often, as here, simply introduces an explanation ('now'),
+
+nomine, 'by name.'
+
+9. Cepheus. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+10. civis suos, 'his subjects.'
+
+13. certam. See the note on _quodam_, 3, 15. _Dies_ is regularly
+masculine, but when used of an appointed day it is often feminine.
+
+omnia, 'all things,' 'everything,' or 'all.' See the note on _omnium_,
+line 6.
+
+16. deplorabant, tenebant. Be careful to show the meaning of the tense by
+your translation.
+
+18. quaerit. The present is often used of a past action instead of the
+perfect, to bring the action more vividly before us as if it were taking
+place now. This is called the historical present.
+
+19. haec geruntur, 'this is going on.'
+
+20. horribili. Here the adjective is made emphatic by being put before
+its noun; in 4, 14 the same effect is gained by putting _horribili_ last
+in its clause.
+
+22. omnibus, dative of indirect object after the compound verb
+_(in+iacio)_. Translate 'inspired in all,' but the literal meaning is
+'threw into all.'
+
+26. induit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+aera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+6. 2. suo, eius. Distinguish carefully between these words. _Suus_ is
+used of something belonging to the subject, _eius_ of something belonging
+to some other person or thing just mentioned.
+
+5. volat. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+7. sustulit. Notice that the perfect forms of _tollo_ are the same as
+those of _suffero (sub + fero)_, 'endure.'
+
+8. neque, here to be translated 'and ... not.' _Neque_ is thus used
+regularly for _et non_.
+
+13. exanimata, used here as a predicate adjective.
+
+16. rettulit. 'To give thanks' or 'thank' is usually _gratias agere_, as
+in 3, 19; _gratiam referre_ means 'to show one's gratitude,' 'to
+recompense' or 'requite.'
+
+18. duxit. This word came to mean 'marry,' because the bridegroom 'led'
+his bride in a wedding procession to his own home. It will be seen,
+therefore, that it can be used only of the man.
+
+Paucos annos. See the note on 3, 20.
+
+20. omnis. What does the quantity of the _i_ tell you about the form?
+
+7. 1. quod, not the relative pronoun, but a conjunction.
+
+3. eo, the adverb.
+
+in atrium. Although inrupit means 'burst _into_,' the preposition is
+nevertheless required with the noun to express the place into which he
+burst.
+
+6. ille. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+8. Acrisi. In Nepos, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, the genitive singular of
+second-declension nouns in _-ius_ and _-ium_ ends in _i_, not _ii_; but
+the nominative plural ends in _ii_, and the dative and ablative plural in
+_iis_.
+
+10. istud. Remember that _iste_ is commonly used of something connected
+with the person addressed. Here the meaning may be 'that oracle I told
+you of.' See 3, 4.
+
+12. Larisam. See the note on 3, 12.
+
+neque enim, 'for ... not,' as if simply _non enim_, but Latin uses _neque_
+to connect the clauses.
+
+14. in omnis partis, 'in all directions' or 'in every direction.'
+
+15. Multi. See the note on _omnium_, 5, 6.
+
+17. discorum. The discus was a round, flat piece of stone or metal, and
+the athletes tried to see who could throw it farthest.
+
+18. casu. This is one of the ablatives of manner that do not take _cum_.
+
+19. stabat. Notice the tense.
+
+
+HERCULES
+
+9. 2. omnium hominum. This means 'all men' in the sense of 'all mankind.'
+
+3. oderat. _Odi_ is perfect in form, but present in meaning; and the
+pluperfect has in like manner the force of an imperfect.
+ 5. media nocte, 'in the middle of the night,' 'in the dead of night.'
+
+7. Nec tamen, 'not ... however.' See the note on _neque enim,_ 7, 12.
+
+8. movebant. Contrast this tense with appropinquaverant and excitati
+sunt.
+
+13. Tali modo = _hoc modo_, 4, 20.
+
+20. a puero, 'from a boy,' 'from boyhood.'
+
+exercebat, the imperfect of customary action, as is also consumebat.
+
+24. autem. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+25. arti, dative of indirect object with the intransitive verb studebat.
+
+10. 2. omnibus viribus, 'with all his might,' ablative of manner.
+
+3. e vita. Notice that the preposition denoting separation appears both
+with the noun and in the verb. Compare _in atrium inrupit_, 7, 3.
+
+4. neque quisquam, 'and not any one,' _i.e_. 'and no one.' _Quisquam_ is
+used chiefly in negative sentences.
+
+5. voluit, 'was willing.'
+
+7. facit. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+8. nomine. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+9. vir crudelissimus, not 'cruelest man,' but 'most cruel man.' The
+superlative is often thus used to denote simply a high degree of the
+quality.
+
+consueverat. Inceptive verbs end in _sco_ and denote the beginning of an
+action or state. The perfect and pluperfect of such verbs often represent
+the state of things resulting from the completion of the action, and are
+then to be translated as present and imperfect respectively. So
+_consuesco_ = 'I am becoming accustomed,' _consuevi_ = 'I have become
+accustomed' or 'am accustomed,' _consueveram_ = 'I had become accustomed'
+or 'was accustomed.'
+
+11. sacrificio, 'for the sacrifice,' dative of purpose.
+
+ea. Why is dies feminine here? See the note on _certam_, 5, 13.
+
+12. omnia. See the note on 5, 13.
+
+15. capitibus, dative of indirect object after the compound verb _(in +
+pono)_.
+
+16. iam. The omission of the conjunction that would naturally join this
+clause with the preceding, and the repetition of _iam_, which thus in a
+way connects the two clauses, reflect the imminence of the danger and
+heighten our anxiety for the hero. Observe too how the tenses of the
+verbs contribute to the vividness of the picture. We see Hercules at the
+altar and the priest, knife in hand, about to give the fatal blow.
+
+18. altero. Supply _ictu_.
+
+19. Thebis, locative case. Notice that some names of towns are plural in
+form.
+
+21. Thebanis, dative with the adjective finitimi.
+
+autem, 'now.'
+
+22. Thebas. Names of towns are used without a preposition to express the
+place to which.
+
+23. veniebant, postulabant, imperfect of customary action.
+
+25. civis suos, 'his fellow-citizens.' Compare 5, 10.
+
+hoc stipendio, ablative of separation.
+
+27. atque. This conjunction adds an important statement by way of
+supplement. Here the meaning is something like 'and not only that, but.'
+
+11. 11. conversa. _Est_ and _sunt_ are frequently not expressed with the
+perfect participle.
+
+17. suos ipse sua. Notice how the enormity of the crime is emphasized by
+the use of all these words repeating the same idea.
+
+23. oraculum Delphicum. See the note on 5, 6.
+
+hoc oraculum omnium = _hoc omnium oraculorum_.
+
+25. Hoc in templo. Monosyllabic prepositions often stand between the
+noun and an adjective modifying it.
+
+12. 1. qui. Remember that the relative pronoun agrees in gender, number,
+and person with its antecedent; that its case depends upon its use. How
+are the person and number of qui shown?
+
+2. hominibus. See the note on 9, 2.
+
+4. neque. See the note on 6, 8.
+
+7. Tiryntha. This is a Greek accusative form. See the note on _aera_,
+4, 11.
+
+10. Duodecim annos, accusative of duration of time.
+
+11. Eurystheo. The English verb 'serve' is transitive, but _servio_ ('be
+subject to') is intransitive and takes an indirect object.
+
+14. quae. See the note on line 1. What is the case of quae?
+
+16. Primum is chiefly used in enumeration, primo (line 6) in contrasting
+an action or state with one that follows it.
+
+19. secum. The preposition _cum_ follows and is joined to the reflexive
+and personal pronouns, usually also to the relative pronoun.
+
+22. neque enim. See the note on 7, 12.
+
+26. respirandi, the genitive of the gerund. It modifies facultas. The
+gerund corresponds to the English verbal noun in _-ing_.
+
+13. 5. Hoc. We might expect _haec_ referring to Hydram, but a
+demonstrative pronoun is commonly attracted into the gender of the
+predicate noun (here monstrum).
+
+cui erant, 'which had,' literally 'to which there were.' This
+construction is found only with _sum_. It is called the dative of
+possession.
+
+8. res. In rendering this word choose always with great freedom the most
+suitable English word.
+
+13. 8. magni periculi. We say 'one of great danger.'
+
+9. eius. What possessive would be used to modify sinistra?
+
+11. hoc conatu, ablative of separation.
+
+14. comprehenderunt. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+unde = _ex quibus_.
+
+16. auxilio Hydrae, 'to the aid of the Hydra,' but literally for aid
+(i.e. as aid) to the Hydra,' for Hydrae is dative. This is called the
+double dative construction, auxilio the dative of purpose, and Hydrae the
+dative of reference, i.e. the dative denoting the person interested.
+
+17. abscidit. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+mordebat, 'kept biting,' the imperfect of repeated action.
+
+18. tali modo. See the note on 9, 13.
+
+interfecit. We have now had several verbs meaning 'kill.' _Interficio_ is
+the most general of these; _neco_ (line 4) is used of killing by unusual
+or cruel means, as by poison; _occido_ (12, 23) is most commonly used of
+the 'cutting down' of an enemy in battle.
+
+19. reddidit, as well as imbuit, has sagittas for its object, but we must
+translate as if we had _eas_ with reddidit.
+
+22. ad se. Compare this construction with the use of the dative in 4, 2.
+Notice that se does not refer to Herculem, the subject of referre, but to
+Eurystheus, the subject of Iussit. When the reflexive thus refers to the
+subject of the principal verb rather than to the subject of the
+subordinate verb with which it s directly connected, it is called
+indirect.
+
+23. tantae audaciae. The genitive of description, like the ablative of
+description, consists always of a noun with some modifying word. Compare
+_specie horribili_, 4, 14.
+
+autem. Compare 5, 8 and 10, 21.
+
+24. incredibili celeritate, ablative of description.
+
+25. vestigiis, ablative of means.
+
+26. ipsum, contrasts cervum with vestigiis.
+
+27. omnibus viribus. See the note on 10, 2.
+
+14. 1. currebat, 'he kept running.'
+
+sibi, dative of reference. It need not be translated,
+
+ad quietem, 'for rest.' Purpose is frequently thus expressed by _ad_.
+
+3. cucurrerat. The pluperfect is sometimes used with postquam when the
+lapse of time is denoted.
+
+4. cursu, ablative of cause.
+
+exanimatum = _qui exanimatus erat_. The participle is often equivalent to
+a relative clause.
+
+5. rettulit. See the note on 13, 19.
+
+8. rem. See the note on _res_, 13, 8.
+
+10. apro, dative of indirect object after the compound verb (_ob +
+curro_).
+
+11. timore perterritus. It is not necessary to translate both words.
+
+13. iniecit, i.e. upon the boar.
+
+summa cum difficultate. Compare this with _omnibus viribus_, 13, 27, and
+notice that _cum_ may be omitted with the ablative of manner when there
+is an adjective. For the position of cum, see the note on 11, 25.
+
+15. ad Eurystheum. We are told elsewhere that Eurystheus was so
+frightened when he saw the boar that he hid in a cask.
+
+vivus. Why have we the nominative here, but the accusative (vivum) in
+line 5?
+
+17. quarto. The capture of the Erymanthian boar is usually given as the
+third labor and the capture of the Cerynean stag as the fourth.
+
+narravimus. The writer sometimes uses the first person plural in speaking
+of himself, instead of the first person singular. This is called the
+plural of modesty, and is the same as the English usage.
+
+18. in Arcadiam. How does this differ in meaning from _in Arcadia_?
+
+20. appeteret. The subjunctive introduced by cum, 'since,' may express
+the reason for the action of the main verb.
+
+23. Hercules. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+26. quod, conjunction, not pronoun.
+
+reliquos centauros, 'the rest of the centaurs,' 'the other centaurs.'
+Compare _media nocte_, 9, 5. Notice that _reliqui_ means about the same
+as _ceteri_, and see the note on 4, 13.
+
+28. inquit, historical present. This verb is used parenthetically with
+direct quotations.
+
+15. 1. dabo. Notice that Latin is more exact than English in the use of
+the future tense in subordinate clauses. In English we often use the
+present in the subordinate clause and leave it to the principal verb to
+show that the time is future.
+
+7. pervenerunt. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+10. constitit, from _consisto_, not _consto_.
+
+16. fuga. Latin says 'by flight,' not 'in flight.'
+
+17. ex spelunca. See the note on 10, 3.
+
+21. locum, the direct object of Adiit, which is here transitive. We might
+also have _ad locum_ with _adeo_ used intransitively.
+
+16. 4. Herculi. See the note on 10, 15.
+
+laborem. This labor is usually given as the sixth, the destruction of the
+Stymphalian birds as the fifth.
+
+6. tria milia boum, 'three thousand cattle,' literally 'three thousands
+of cattle.' The partitive genitive is the regular construction with the
+plural _milia_, but the singular _mille_ is commonly used as an
+adjective, like English 'thousand.' Thus 'one thousand cattle' would be
+_mille boves_.
+
+7. ingentis magnitudinis. See the note on _tantae audaciae_, 13, 23.
+
+8. neque enim umquam, 'for ... never.' See the note on _neque enim_, 7,
+12.
+
+11. multae operae. See the note on _magni periculi_, 13, 8.
+
+12. duodeviginti pedum, i.e. in width.
+
+duxit. This word is used with reference to the progress of work on a wall
+or ditch from one end of it to the other.
+
+15. opus. Compare this word with operae and labore, line 12. _Labor_ is
+used of heavy or exhausting labor, _opera_ of voluntary exertion or
+effort, _opus_ of that upon which one labors or of the completed work.
+
+17. imperaverat. This verb takes an indirect object to express the person
+ordered (ei). The action commanded is expressed by the subjunctive in a
+clause introduced by _ut_ and used as the object of _impero_ (ut
+necaret). Notice that this may be translated 'that he should kill' or 'to
+kill.' Compare now the construction with _iubeo_, 13, 22, with which the
+command is expressed by the accusative and infinitive (_Herculem
+referre_).
+
+19. carne. _Vescor_ is an intransitive verb and governs the ablative.
+
+22. appropinquandi. See the note on 12, 26.
+
+23. constitit, from _consto_. Compare 15, 10.
+
+pedibus, 'on foot,' literally 'by his feet.'
+
+25. consumpsisset. The imperfect and pluperfect tenses of the subjunctive
+are used with cum, 'when,' to describe the circumstances of the action of
+the main verb. Compare 14, 20, and the note.
+
+26. hoc conatu. See the note on 13, 11.
+
+27. peteret. The subjunctive is used with ut to express purpose. The best
+translation is usually the infinitive ('to ask'), but the Latin
+infinitive is not used in model prose to express purpose.
+
+17. 3. avolarent. This is not subjunctive of purpose, but of result, as
+is indicated by tam.
+
+6. ex. Compare this with _ab_, 16, 21, and _de_, 16, 13. We commonly
+translate all of these 'from,' but the real meanings are 'out of,' 'away
+from,' and 'down from' respectively.
+
+Creta. See the note on 3, 12.
+
+7. esset. See the note on 14, 20.
+
+8. insulae, dative with the compound verb (_ad_ + _propinquo_).
+
+appropinquaret. See the note on 16, 25.
+
+9. tanta ... ut. Notice how frequently the clause of result is connected
+with a demonstrative word in the main clause.
+
+12. navigandi imperitus, 'ignorant of navigation,' 'inexperienced in
+sailing.' See the note on 12, 26.
+
+21. cum, the conjunction.
+
+ingenti labore. See the note on _summa cum difficultate_, 14, 13.
+
+25. ut reduceret. See the note on 16, 27.
+
+26. carne. See the note on 16, 19.
+
+vescebantur, imperfect of customary action.
+
+18. 3. ut traderentur. Notice that _postulo_, like _impero_, takes an
+object-clause introduced by _ut_ and having its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+sibi, the indirect reflexive. See the note on 13, 22.
+
+4. ira ... interfecit, 'became furiously angry and killed the king,'
+literally 'moved by wrath killed the king.' The participle is frequently
+best rendered by a finite verb.
+
+18. 4. cadaver. The subject of an infinitive stands in the accusative
+case. We might translate here 'and gave orders that his body should be
+thrown.' See the note on 16, 17.
+
+6. mira rerum commutatio. When a noun has both an adjective and a
+genitive modifier, this order of the words is common.
+
+7. cum cruciatu, ablative of manner.
+
+necaverat. See the note on _interfecit_, 13, 18.
+
+10. referebant. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+modo. This is the adverb, not a case of _modus_, the dative and ablative
+singular of which would be _modo_. Make a practice of carefully observing
+the quantity of vowels.
+
+11. orabant. Notice that this verb, like _impero_ and _postulo_, takes
+_ut_ and the subjunctive.
+
+14. ad navigandum. See the note on _ad quietem_, 14, 1.
+
+16. post, here an adverb of time.
+
+18. dicitur. Notice that the Latin construction is personal ('the nation
+is said to have consisted'), while English commonly has the impersonal
+construction ('it is said that the nation consisted').
+
+19. rei militaris, 'the art of war.'
+
+25. mandavit. See the note on 16, 17.
+
+26. Amazonibus, dative after the compound verb.
+
+19. 1. persuasit. Notice that this verb governs the same construction
+that we have already found used with _impero_ and _mando_.
+
+2. secum. See the note on 12, 19.
+
+5. appulit. Supply _navem_.
+
+6. doceret. A clause of purpose is frequently introduced by a relative.
+Translate like the _ut_-clause of purpose, here 'to make known,'
+literally 'who was to make known.'
+
+14. magno intervallo, ablative of degree of difference.
+
+16. non magna. The effect of the position of these words may be
+reproduced by translating 'but not a large one.'
+
+neutri. The plural is used because the reference is to two parties, each
+composed of several individuals. 'Neither' of two individuals would be
+_neuter_.
+
+17. volebant, dedit. Consider the tenses. Each army waited for some time
+for the other to cross; finally Hercules gave the signal.
+
+22. occiderint. The perfect subjunctive is sometimes used in result
+clauses after a past tense in the principal clause. This is contrary to
+the general principle of the sequence of tenses, which requires the
+imperfect or pluperfect subjunctive after a past tense, the present or
+perfect subjunctive after a present or future tense.
+
+23. Viri. Compare this with _hominibus_, 12, 2.
+
+24. praestabant. Compare the tense with praestiterunt, line 21.
+
+27. neu. As _neque_ or _nec_ is used for 'and not,' so _neve_ or _neu_
+for 'and that not' in an object-clause or a clause of purpose.
+
+20. 1. quibus, 'and by these,' The relative is much used in Latin to
+connect a new sentence with the one preceding. When so used, it is
+generally best rendered by 'and' or 'but' and a demonstrative or personal
+pronoun.
+
+ita ... ut. See the note on 17, 9.
+
+2. essent, most easily explained as the subjunctive of attraction. By
+this is meant that the verb is attracted into the mood of the clause upon
+which it depends.
+
+4. pugnatum est, 'the battle raged' or 'they fought,' literally 'it was
+fought,' Intransitive verbs are often thus used impersonally in the
+passive, with the subject implied in the verb itself, as pugnatum
+est = _pugna pugnata est_.
+
+11. aestatis, partitive genitive. Notice that multum is used as a noun.
+
+13. nactus. The perfect active participle is wanting in Latin, but the
+perfect participle of deponent verbs is active in meaning.
+
+24. specie horribili. See the note on 4, 14.
+
+26. timore perterriti. See the note on 14, 11.
+
+continebantur, 'kept themselves shut up.' This is the so-called reflexive
+use of the passive, in which the subject is represented as acting upon
+itself.
+
+pecora. This word is used of herds of cattle, pecudes (line 25) of single
+animals, especially sheep.
+
+28. commotus consuluit. See the note on 18, 4.
+
+21. 3. liberaret. See the note on 16, 27.
+
+oraculo. Notice that parere is intransitive and has the dative of
+indirect object, while 'obey' is transitive. It may help to understand
+the Latin construction if you translate such verbs as _pareo_ by
+intransitives, here 'to submit to.'
+
+4. sacrificio. See the note on 10, 11.
+
+5. ipso temporis puncto quo, 'at the very moment when.'
+
+8. egressus. See the note on 20, 13.
+
+de rebus ... factus est, 'was informed of the state of things,' literally
+'was made more certain about the things which were being done.' In what
+gender, number, person, and case is quae? Give a reason for each.
+
+11. posset. The subjunctive is used because the words of the king are
+quoted indirectly. He said _si potes_, 'if you can.'
+
+19. Ipse. Notice the use of this word in contrasts, frequently, as here,
+of a person with that which belongs to him or with his subordinates.
+
+20. inter se, 'to one another.'
+
+22. esset, subjunctive in an indirect question. The direct form would be
+_Quantum periculum est_? ('How great is the danger?'). multas terras,
+just as we say 'many lands,'
+
+23. Europae. Compare _Thebanis_, 10, 21.
+
+24. in utroque litore, 'on each shore,' 'on both shores.'
+
+25. columnas. The ancients believed that the Rock of Gibraltar was the
+pillar set up by Hercules on the European side.
+
+22. 4. tantum, an adverb.
+
+5. dederit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+9. quo in loco. See the note on 11, 25. essent. See the note on 21, 22.
+
+10. sibi, the indirect reflexive.
+
+12. et ... et, 'both ... and.'
+
+18. progredi, 'from proceeding.'
+
+19. prohibebant, 'attempted to prevent,' imperfect of attempted action.
+Notice that the use of the imperfect to express customary, repeated, or
+attempted action follows naturally from its use to denote action going on
+in past time. The present, the tense which denotes action going on in
+present time, has the same special uses.
+
+20. barbari. This word was used by the Greeks of all other peoples; by
+the Romans it was used of all but the Greeks and themselves.
+
+24. ceciderunt. Let the quantity of the _i_ tell you whether this comes
+from _cado_ or _caedo_. Is occiderint a compound of _cado_ or _caedo_?
+
+25. in talibus rebus, _i.e_. when a god intervenes in behalf of his
+favorite.
+
+26. nihil incommodi, 'no harm,' literally 'nothing of harm'; incommodi is
+partitive genitive.
+
+23. 2. quam celerrime, 'as rapidly as possible.' _Quam_ with the
+superlative expresses the highest possible degree.
+
+3. Necesse, predicate adjective with erat, the subject being has
+transire.
+
+5. citeriore. The Romans called upper Italy _Gallia Citerior_, 'Hither
+Gaul,' because it was occupied by Gallic tribes.
+
+6. perenni. Learn the derivation of this word. The meaning of a word may
+often be seen most easily and remembered most surely by noticing its
+derivation,
+
+tecti, used as predicate adjective.
+
+9. copiam. Notice carefully the meaning of this word. In what sense have
+we found the plural _copiae_ used?
+
+10. rebus, 'preparations.' See the note on _res_, 13, 8.
+
+consumpserat. See the note on 14, 3.
+
+11. omnium opinionem. Hitherto we have had _opinionem omnium_, but here
+_omnium_ is made emphatic by being placed first.
+
+15. itinere, ablative of cause.
+
+fessus, 'since he was weary.' Notice that a Latin adjective or participle
+must often be expanded into a clause in the translation.
+
+16. Haud = _non_. It modifies a single word, usually an adjective or
+adverb.
+
+19. modo. See the note on 18, 10.
+
+ingenti magnitudine. Compare _ingentis magnitudinis_, 16, 7.
+
+23. boum. Learn the declension of this word from the vocabulary.
+
+24. ne. A negative clause of purpose is introduced by _ne_.
+
+24. 2. omnibus locis. _Locus_ modified by an adjective is often used
+without _in_ in the ablative of place.
+
+3. nusquam. We say 'could not find anywhere,' but Latin prefers to
+combine the negative with another word.
+
+6. reliquis. See the note on _reliquos centauros_, 14, 26.
+
+7. e bobus. Compare _boum_, 23, 23. With unus the ablative with _ex_ or
+_de_ is commonly used instead of the partitive genitive.
+
+16. neque quicquam. See the note on 10, 4.
+
+21. more suo, 'according to his custom.'
+
+turbatus, 'was confused ... and.' See the note on _ira ... interfecit_,
+18, 4.
+
+22. in. See the note on _in atrium_, 7, 3.
+
+25. respirandi. See the note on 12, 26.
+
+25. 2. quam quos, for _quam eos quos_.
+
+11. cui. See the note on _cui erant_, 13, 5.
+
+12. Herculi imperaverat, 'had enjoined upon Hercules.'
+
+17. Eurystheo. See the note on _oraculo_, 21, 3.
+
+19. quaesiverat. With this verb the person of whom the question is asked
+is expressed in the ablative with _ab, de_, or _ex_.
+
+23. orbis terrarum, 'of the world,' literally 'of the circle of lands.'
+
+26. umeris suis, ablative of means, but we say 'on his shoulders.'
+
+ne. See the note on 23, 24.
+
+decideret. Notice the force of the prefix _de_.
+
+27. miratus, 'wondering at.' The perfect participle of deponent verbs is
+often best rendered into English by a present participle.
+
+26. 3. Herculi, dative with prodesse.
+
+ille. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+4. certo, the adverb.
+
+6. venisset. What would the form be in the direct question?
+
+inquit. See the note on 14, 28.
+
+7. filiabus. To avoid confusion with the corresponding forms of
+_deus_ and _filius_, the dative and ablative plural of _dea_ and _filia_
+sometimes end in _abus_.
+
+sponte. This noun is practically confined to the ablative singular, in
+prose usually with _mea, tua_, or _sua_, 'of my, your, his own accord.'
+
+9. posset, subjunctive because indirect. The thought of Hercules was _si
+potest_.
+
+11. abesset. This also is indirect, quoting _absum_.
+
+12. umeris. See the note on 25, 26.
+
+17. pauca milia. Extent of space, like duration of time, is expressed by
+the accusative,
+
+passuum. See the note on 16, 6.
+
+21. ita ut, 'as'
+
+accepissent. Hitherto we have found the indicative in causal clauses
+introduced by quod. The subjunctive indicates that the reason is quoted;
+the Hesperides said _quod accepimus_.
+
+28. gratias egit. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+27. 2. e laboribus. See the note on 24, 7.
+
+3. Herculi praeceperat = _Herculi imperaverat_, 25, 12.
+
+5. posset, subjunctive because it quotes the thought of Eurystheus,
+_poterit_.
+
+6. ut ... traheret. This clause is not itself the object of dedit, but in
+apposition with the object (Negotium).
+
+7. omnium, partitive genitive.
+
+11. narramus. The present is sometimes used with antequam to express
+future action, as in English with 'before.' See the note on 15, 1.
+
+alienum, predicate adjective, the subject of videtur being pauca ...
+proponere. In the passive _video_ may mean 'be seen,' but it usually
+means 'seem.'
+
+13. qui idem, 'which also,' literally 'which the same.'
+
+14. Ut, 'when.'
+
+15. deducebantur, customary action.
+
+19. Stygis fluminis. We say 'river Styx,' but 'Mississippi River.'
+
+quo, ablative of means.
+
+20. necesse. See the note on 23, 3.
+
+possent. The subjunctive is used with antequam to denote that the action
+is expected or intended.
+
+21. in. We say 'over.'
+
+25. prius. Notice that Latin is here more exact than English, using the
+comparative because only two actions are spoken of.
+
+dedisset, subjunctive because indirect. Charon said _nisi dederis_
+(future perfect), _non transveham_, 'unless you first give (shall have
+given), I will not carry you across.'
+
+28. 1. mortui, used as a noun, 'of the dead man.'
+
+eo consilio, 'with this purpose,' 'to this end.' The clause ut ... posset
+is in apposition with consilio.
+
+6. Ut. Compare 27, 14.
+
+8. quod cum fecissent, 'and when they had done this.' See the note on
+_quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+13. Stabant, 'there stood.' What is its subject?
+
+15. mortuis, dative of indirect object.
+
+et. Notice that ambiguity is avoided by a change of conjunctions, et
+connecting the clauses and -que connecting praemia and poenas. Of these
+connectives, _et_ connects two ideas that are independent of each other
+and of equal importance; _-que_ denotes a close connection, often of two
+words that together express a single idea; while _ac_ or _atque_ (see
+line 18) adds something of greater importance.
+
+18. et. _Multi_ is often joined by _et_ to another adjective modifying
+the same noun.
+
+24. ex. Compare 25, 18.
+
+27. se socios, direct object and predicate accusative respectively.
+
+29. 3. ne. After verbs of fearing _ne_ must be rendered 'that,' _ut_,
+'that not.' Notice, however, that the negative idea is as clearly present
+here as in the other clauses introduced by _ne_ that we have met, for
+Charon wishes that the thing may not happen.
+
+13. fecisset, indirect for _feceris_.
+
+18. refugerit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+23. quae cum ita essent, 'and this being the case,' 'and so,' literally
+'since which things were so.'
+
+24. liberatus. See the note on _ira ... interfecit_, 18, 4.
+
+25. quae, object of perscribere, which is the subject of est; longum is
+predicate adjective.
+
+26. est. We say 'would be.'
+
+aetate, ablative of specification. Translate 'when he was now advanced in
+age' (_i.e_. 'late in life'), and see the note on _fessus_, 23, 15.
+
+30. 1. accidit. This is one of several impersonal verbs which take for
+their subject a clause of result (ut ... occiderit).
+
+3. ut ... iret, a clause of result; used as the subject of esset, mos
+being predicate.
+
+quis. After _si, nisi, ne_, and _num_, this is not the interrogative, but
+an indefinite pronoun ('any one'),
+
+occidisset, indirect for _occiderit_, which would be the form used in the
+laws; or it may be explained as subjunctive by attraction to iret.
+
+7. transeant, not 'they are crossing,' but 'they are to cross.' The
+direct form would be _transeamus ('How in the world are we to get
+across?'), subjunctive because the question expresses doubt. This is
+called the deliberative subjunctive.
+
+10. progressus, 'after advancing.'
+
+11. revertebatur. This verb is deponent in the present, imperfect, and
+future.
+
+16. humi, locative, 'on the ground.'
+
+ne. See the note on 23, 24.
+
+sui ulciscendi, 'of avenging himself.' This is called the gerundive
+construction. It is regularly used instead of the gerund when the gerund
+would have an accusative object (_se ulciscendi_). Notice that the gerund
+is a verbal noun; the gerundive a verbal adjective, agreeing with its
+noun like any other adjective.
+
+17. morientis, 'of a dying man.' Compare _mortui_, 28, 1.
+
+18. vis, from _volo_.
+
+20. si ... venerit, 'if you ever suspect him.' What is the literal
+meaning? Notice that we use the present, while Latin by the use of the
+future perfect indicates that the action is to precede that of the main
+clause.
+
+21. inficies. The future indicative is sometimes used, as in English, for
+the imperative.
+
+22. nihil mali. See the note on 22, 26.
+
+suspicata. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+25. Iolen, filiam, captivam, direct object, appositive, and predicate
+accusative respectively.
+
+26. domum. See the note on _ad domum_, 3, 15.
+
+31. 1. referret. See the note on 19, 6.
+
+2. facerent, subjunctive by attraction. The verb of a clause dependent
+upon an infinitive is put in the subjunctive when the two clauses are
+closely connected in thought. We have already met this construction in
+the case of dependence upon a subjunctive; see the note on 20, 2.
+
+gerere. Compare 30, 3. Such phrases as _mos est_ may have as subject
+either an infinitive or a clause of result.
+
+3. verita. This participle is regularly rendered as present,
+
+ne. See the note on 29, 3.
+
+4. vestem. Notice that the position of this word helps to make it clear
+that it is the object of infecit as well as of dedit.
+
+5. suspicans. This does not differ appreciably in force from _suspicata_,
+30, 22.
+
+8. exanimatus, 'beside himself.'
+
+14. succenderent. Notice the force of the prefix _sub_ in this word and
+in subdidit below.
+
+15. inductus, 'moved.'
+
+
+THE ARGONAUTS
+
+33. 1. alter ... alter, 'one ... the other.' Remember that this word is
+used to denote one of two given persons or things. We have in this
+passage an instance of the chiastic order, in which variety and emphasis
+are gained by reversing the position of the words in the second of two
+similar expressions. Here the two names are brought together by this
+device.
+
+3. regni, objective genitive, _i.e_. a genitive used to denote the object
+of the feeling cupiditate.
+
+6. ex amicis. Quidam, like _unus_, commonly has _ex_ or _de_ and the
+ablative, instead of the partitive genitive.
+
+10. puerum mortuum esse, 'that the boy was dead,' literally 'the boy to
+be dead.' This is indirect for _Puer mortuus est_, 'The boy is dead.'
+Notice carefully what changes Latin makes in quoting such a statement
+indirectly, and what the changes are in English. We have already met two
+constructions of indirect discourse, the subjunctive in indirect
+questions, and the subjunctive in informal indirect discourse. By the
+latter is meant a subordinate clause which, though not forming part of a
+formal quotation, has the subjunctive to show that not the speaker or
+writer but some other person is responsible for the idea it expresses
+(see the notes on _dedisset_, 27, 25, and _occidisset_. 30, 3). In
+indirect discourse, then, a statement depending upon a verb of saying,
+thinking, knowing, perceiving, or the like has its verb in the infinitive
+with the subject in the accusative; a command or question has its verb in
+the subjunctive; and any clause modifying such a statement, command, or
+question has its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+33. 13. intellegerent. See the note on 14, 20.
+
+14. nescio quam fabulam, 'some story or other.' Notice that _nescio_ with
+the interrogative pronoun is equivalent to an indefinite pronoun.
+
+19. oraculum. Read again the description beginning at the bottom of
+page 11.
+
+21. quis. See the note on 30, 3.
+
+Post paucis annis, 'a few years later,' literally 'later by a few years.'
+Post is here an adverb, and paucis annis ablative of degree of
+difference. The expression is equivalent to _post paucos annos_.
+
+22. accidit. See the note on 30, 1.
+
+facturus, 'intending to make.' The future participle with a form of _sum_
+is used to express an intended or future action. This is called the
+active periphrastic conjugation.
+
+23. certam. See the note on 5, 13.
+
+24. Die constituta, ablative of time.
+
+26. a pueritia. Compare _a puero_, 9, 20.
+
+34. 2. transeundo flumine. See the note on _sui ulciscendi_, 30, 16.
+
+nescio quo. See the note on 33. 14.
+
+4. uno pede nudo, 'with one foot bare,' the ablative absolute. This
+construction consists of two parts, a noun, or pronoun corresponding to
+the subject of a clause, and a participle corresponding to the verb of a
+clause. A predicate noun or adjective may take the place of the
+participle. In the latter case the use of the participle 'being' will
+show the two parts in the relation of subject and predicate, 'one foot
+being bare.'
+
+34.6. demonstravisset, subjunctive because subordinate in indirect
+discourse. See the note on 33, 10. Pelias thought, _Hic est homo quem
+oraculum demonstravit_.
+
+9. vellus aureum. Phrixus and his sister Helle were about to be put to
+death, when they were rescued by a ram with fleece of gold, who carried
+them off through the air. Helle fell from the ram's back into the strait
+that separates Europe and Asia, called after her the Hellespont, 'Helle's
+sea,' and known to us as the Dardanelles. Phrixus came safely to Colchis,
+and here he sacrificed the ram and gave the fleece to Aeetes. Read Mr.
+D.O.S. Lowell's _Jason's Quest_.
+
+11. ut ... potiretur. See the note on 27, 6.
+
+hoc vellere. _Potior_ takes the same construction as _vescor_, for which
+see the note on 16, 19.
+
+16. iter, accusative of extent.
+
+20. usui, dative of purpose. We say 'of use' or 'useful.'
+
+24. operi dative after the compound with _prae_. Notice that not all
+verbs compounded with prepositions govern the dative. Many compounds of
+_ad, ante, com_ (for _cum_), _in, inter, ob, post, prae, pro, sub_, and
+_super_ do have the dative, and some compounds of _circum_. You will find
+it profitable to keep a list of all such compound verbs governing the
+dative that you meet in your reading.
+
+25. ne ... quidem, 'not ... even.' The word emphasized must stand between
+_ne_ and _quidem_.
+
+ad laborem. See the note on _ad quietem_, 14, 1.
+
+26. Ad multitudinem transportandam, used like _ad laborem_. The gerundive
+in this use is very common.
+
+27. quibus. The antecedent _eae_ is not expressed. Notice that _utor_
+governs the same case as _vescor_ and _potior_. Two other deponent verbs,
+not found in this book, take this construction, namely _fruor_, 'enjoy,'
+and _fungor_, 'perform.'
+
+nostro mari, _i.e_. the Mediterranean.
+
+consuevimus. See the note on _consueverat_, 10, 9.
+
+35. 8. citharoedum. It was said that Orpheus made such sweet music on his
+golden harp that wild beasts, trees, and rocks followed him as he moved.
+By his playing he even prevailed upon Pluto to give back his dead wife
+Eurydice.
+
+Theseum, a mythical hero, whose exploits resemble and rival those of
+Hercules. The most famous of them was the killing of the Minotaur.
+Theseus was the national hero of Athens.
+
+Castorem, the famous tamer of horses and brother of Pollux, the boxer.
+Read Macaulay's _Lays of Ancient Rome, The Battle of the Lake Regillus_.
+
+10. quos, the subject of esse. Its antecedent is eos, line 11. The
+relative frequently precedes in Latin, but the antecedent must be
+translated first.
+
+16. Argonautae. Notice the composition of this word.
+
+24. deicerentur, part of the result clause.
+
+26. arbitrati. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+egredi. See the note on 22, 18.
+
+27. pugnatum est. See the note on 20 4.
+
+36. 5. Postridie eius diei, 'the next day,' more literally 'on the day
+following that day.' This idea may be expressed by _postridie_ alone, and
+the fuller expression is simply more formal.
+
+9. in ancoris, 'at anchor.'
+
+10. haberent. See the note on 34, 6.
+
+11. ex Argonautis. See the note on 33, 6.
+
+13. Qui, 'he.' See the note on _quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+dum quaerit, 'while looking for.' The present indicative with _dum_ is
+often to be translated by a present participle.
+
+15. vidissent. We say 'saw,' but Latin makes it plain that the seeing
+(and falling in love) came before the attempt to persuade.
+
+ei. Keep a list of all intransitive verbs which are used with the dative.
+
+16. negaret. This verb is commonly used instead of _dico_ when a negative
+statement follows; when thus used, it should be translated by 'say' with
+the appropriate negative, here 'said that he would not.'
+
+37. 1. praebuisset, subjunctive in a subordinate clause of indirect
+discourse.
+
+2. supplici. See the note on 7, 8.
+
+6. accubuerat. The Romans reclined at table, supporting themselves on the
+left arm and taking the food with the right hand. They naturally
+represented others as eating in the same way.
+
+appositum, 'that had been placed before him.' See the note on
+_exanimatum_, 14, 4.
+
+7. Quo ... moreretur, 'and so it came to pass that Phineus was nearly
+dying of starvation,' literally 'that not much was wanting but that
+Phineus would die.' Ut ... abesset is a clause of result, the subject of
+factum est; quin ... moreretur is a form of subordinate clause with
+subjunctive verb used after certain negative expressions; fame is
+ablative of cause. Notice that _fames_ has a fifth-declension ablative,
+but is otherwise of the third declension.
+
+9. Res male se habebat, 'the situation was desperate.' What is the
+literal meaning?
+
+12. opinionem virtutis, 'reputation for bravery.'
+
+13. quin ferrent. Negative expressions of doubt are regularly followed by
+_quin_ and the subjunctive.
+
+16. quanto in periculo. See the note on 11, 25.
+
+suae res, 'his affairs.' See the note on _res_, 13, 8.
+
+17. repperissent. Phineus used the future perfect indicative.
+
+22. nihil, used adverbially.
+
+23. aera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+27. Hoc facto, 'when this had been accomplished.' See the note on 34, 4.
+The ablative absolute is often used instead of a subordinate clause of
+time, cause, condition, or the like.
+
+38. 1. referret. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+3. eo consilio. See the note on 28, 1.
+
+4. ne quis, 'that no one.' 'Negative clauses of purpose and negative
+clauses of result may be distinguished by the negative: _ne, ne quis_,
+etc., for purpose; _ut non, ut nemo_, etc., for result.
+
+parvo intervallo, 'a short distance apart,' ablative absolute. See the
+note on 34, 1.
+
+5. in medium spatium, 'between them.'
+
+7. quid faciendum esset, 'what was to be done.' The gerundive is used
+with _sum_ to denote necessary action. This is called the passive
+periphrastic conjugation.
+
+8. sublatis ... solvit, 'weighed anchor and put to sea.' What is the
+literal translation? The ablative absolute is often best translated by a
+cooerdinate verb, and this requires a change of voice, for the lack of a
+perfect active participle in Latin is the reason for the use of the
+ablative absolute in such cases. If there were a perfect active
+participle, it would stand in the nominative, modifying the subject, as
+we have found the perfect participle of deponent verbs doing.
+
+11. recta ... spatium, 'straight between them.'
+
+12. cauda tantum amissa, 'having lost only its tail-feathers.' Notice
+that we change the voice, as in line 8, and that the use of the ablative
+absolute is resorted to here for the same reason as in that passage. Make
+sure at this point that you know three ways in which the ablative
+absolute may be translated, as in this passage, as in line 8, and as
+suggested in the note on 37, 27.
+
+14. concurrerent, 'could rush together.' See the note on _possent_, 27,
+20.
+
+intellegentes, equivalent to _cum intellegerent_.
+
+17. dis, the usual form of the dative and ablative plural of _deus_, as
+_di_ of the nominative plural.
+
+quorum, equivalent to _cum eorum_. A relative clause of cause, like a
+_cum_-clause of cause, has its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+27. negabat. See the note on 36, 16.
+
+39. 1. traditurum. In infinitives formed with participles _esse_ is often
+omitted,
+
+prius. See the note on 27, 25.
+
+3. Primum. See the note on 12, 16.
+
+4. iungendi erant. See the note on 38, 7.
+
+8. rei bene gerendae, 'of accomplishing his mission.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+10. rem aegre ferebat, 'she was greatly distressed.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+12. Quae ... essent. See the note on 29, 23.
+
+13. medicinae, objective genitive.
+
+14. Media nocte. See the note on 9, 5.
+
+insciente patre, 'without the knowledge of her father,' ablative
+absolute.
+
+15. venit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+17. quod ... confirmaret, a relative clause of purpose.
+
+19. essent, subjunctive in informal indirect discourse, or by attraction
+to oblineret.
+
+20. hominibus. See the note on 34, 24.
+
+21. magnitudine et viribus, ablative of specification.
+
+40. 2. nihil valere, 'prevailed not.'
+
+5. qua in re. See the note on 11, 25.
+
+6. confecerit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+8. quos. See the note on _quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+9. autem. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+10. essent, subjunctive by attraction.
+
+11. quodam, 'some.'
+
+16. gignerentur, 'should be born.' With dum, 'until,' the subjunctive is
+used of action anticipated, as with _antequam_ (see the note on
+_possent_, 27, 20).
+
+19. omnibus agri partibus. See the note on 18, 6.
+
+20. mirum in modum = _miro modo_.
+
+25. nescio cur, 'for some reason.' See the note on 33, 14.
+
+28. nullo negotio, 'with no trouble,' 'without difficulty.'
+
+41. 3. quin tulisset. See the note on 37, 13.
+
+15. quam primum, 'as soon as possible.' See the note on 23, 2.
+
+16. avecturum. See the note on _traditurum_, 39, 1.
+
+17. Postridie eius diei. See the note on 36, 5.
+
+19. loco. The antecedent is frequently thus repeated in the relative
+clause.
+
+21. qui ... essent, 'to guard the ship.' See the note on 13, 16.
+
+22. ipse. See the note on 21, 19.
+
+27. quidam. This word may sometimes be rendered by the indefinite
+article.
+
+28. demonstravimus. See the note on _narravimus_, 14, 17.
+
+42. 5. dormit. See the note on _fugit_, 4, 25.
+
+12. aliqui. Learn from the vocabulary the difference between _aliquis_
+and _aliqui_.
+
+maturandum sibi, 'they ought to hasten,' more literally 'haste ought to
+be made by them'; maturandum (_esse_) is the impersonal passive, and sibi
+the so-called dative of the agent. With the gerundive the person who has
+the thing to do is regularly expressed in the dative.
+
+16. mirati. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+20. dis. See the note on 38, 17.
+
+21. evenisset. See the note on _accepissent_, 26, 21.
+
+23. vigilia. The Romans divided the day from sunrise to sunset into
+twelve hours (_horae_), the night from sunset to sunrise into four
+watches (_vigiliae_).
+
+24. neque enim. See the note on 7, 12.
+
+25. inimico animo, ablative of description.
+
+43. 2. hoc dolore, 'this anger,' _i.e_. 'anger at this.'
+
+Navem longam, 'war-galley,' 'man-of-war.' The adjective contrasts the
+shape of the man-of-war with that of the merchantman.
+
+4. fugientis, used as a noun, 'the fugitives.'
+
+6. qua, ablative of means.
+
+7. qua, 'as,' but in the same construction as eadem celeritate.
+
+8. Quo ... caperentur. See the note on 37, 7.
+
+9. neque ... posset, 'for the distance between them was not greater than
+a javelin could be thrown.' What is the literal translation? The clause
+quo ... posset denotes result; the distance was not _so great that_ a
+javelin could not be thrown from one ship to the other.
+
+11. vidisset. See the note on 36, 15.
+
+15. fugiens, 'when she fled.' See the note on _fessus_, 23, 15.
+
+18. fili. See the note on 7, 8.
+
+19. Neque ... fefellit, 'and Medea was not mistaken.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+20. ubi primum, 'as soon as,' literally 'when first.'
+
+24. prius, not to be rendered until quam is reached. The two words
+together mean 'before,' more literally 'earlier than,' 'sooner than,'
+They are sometimes written together (_priusquam_).
+
+25. nihil ... esse, 'that it would be of no advantage to him.'
+
+44. 5. pollicitus erat. Verbs of promising do not usually take in Latin
+the simple present infinitive, as in English, but the construction of
+indirect discourse.
+
+10. mihi. The dative of reference is often used in Latin where we should
+use a possessive in English. Translate here as if the word were _meus_,
+modifying dies.
+
+11. Liceat mihi, 'permit me,' literally 'let it be permitted to me.'
+Commands and entreaties in the third person are regularly expressed in
+the subjunctive.
+
+dum vivam, 'so long as I live.' The verb with _dum_ 'so long as' is not
+restricted to the present, as with _dum_ 'while,' but any tense of the
+indicative may be used. We have here the future indicative, or the
+present subjunctive by attraction.
+
+12. tu. The nominative of the personal pronouns is commonly expressed
+only when emphatic. Here the use of the pronoun makes the promise more
+positive.
+
+15. rem aegre tulit, 'was vexed.' Compare 39, 10.
+
+20. Vultisne, the verb _vultis_ and the enclitic _-ne_, which is used to
+introduce a question, and is incapable of translation. Num (line 21)
+introduces a question to which a negative answer is expected, and is
+likewise not to be translated, except in so far as its effect is
+reproduced by the form of the question or the tone of incredulity with
+which the words are spoken.
+
+28. effervesceret. See the note on 40, 16.
+
+45. 3. stupentes, 'in amazement.'
+
+5. Vos. See the note on 44, 12. Vos and ego in the next sentence are
+contrasted.
+
+7. Quod ubi. See the note on 28, 8.
+
+10. necaverunt. See the note on _interfecit_, 13, 18.
+
+13. quibus. For the case see the note on _quibus_, 34, 27.
+
+15. re vera, 'really.'
+
+18. aegre tulerunt, 'were indignant at.' Compare 39, 10, and 44, 15.
+
+23. Creonti. See the note on _cui erant_, 13, 5.
+
+25. nuntium, 'a notice of divorce.'
+
+26. duceret. See the note on _duxit_, 6, 18.
+
+28. ulturam. See the note on 39, 1.
+
+46. 1. Vestem. Compare the story of the death of Hercules, pp. 30, 31.
+
+3. quis. See the note on 30, 3.
+
+induisset, subjunctive by attraction.
+
+5. nihil mali. See the note on 22, 26.
+
+16. itaque, not the adverb _itaque_, but the adverb _ita_ and the
+enclitic conjunction _-que_.
+
+aera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+21. in eam partem, 'to that side.'
+
+
+ULYSSES
+
+49. 4. insidias. This refers to the story of the wooden horse.
+
+9. quem, subject of excogitasse. The English idiom is 'who, some say,
+devised.' Notice that excogitasse is contracted from _excogitavisse_.
+
+10. quo, ablative of means.
+
+19. aliae ... partis, 'some in one direction and some in another,' but
+Latin compresses this into the one clause 'others in other directions.'
+
+20. qua. See the note on 43, 6.
+
+26. quibusdam, dative with obviam facti, 'having fallen in with,' 'having
+met.'
+
+27. Accidit. See the note on 30, 1.
+
+50. 2. gustassent, contracted from _gustavissent_.
+
+patriae et sociorum. Verbs of remembering and forgetting take the
+genitive or the accusative, but _obliviscor_ prefers the former.
+
+4. cibo. See the note on 16, 19.
+
+5. hora septima. See the note on 42, 23.
+
+11. docuerunt. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+51. 6. tantum, the adverb.
+
+23. se, 'they,' _i.e_. himself and his companions.
+
+praedandi causa, 'to steal.' Purpose is frequently thus expressed by
+_causa_ with the genitive of the gerund or gerundive. What other ways of
+expressing purpose have you met in your reading?
+
+24. a Troia. The preposition is sometimes used with names of towns, with
+the meaning 'from the direction of' or 'from the neighborhood of.'
+
+25. esse. It will help you to understand indirect discourse if you will
+try to discover what words would be used to express the idea in the
+direct form. Here, for instance, the exact words of Ulysses would have
+been in Latin: _Neque mercatores sumus neque praedandi causa venimus; sed
+a Troia redeuntes vi tempestatum a recto cursu depulsi sumus_.
+
+27. ubi ... essent. The question of Polyphemus was _Ubi est navis qua
+vecti estis_?
+
+sibi ... esse, 'that he must be exceedingly careful.' See the note on
+_maturandum sibi_, 42, 12.
+
+29. in ... esse, 'had been driven on the rocks and entirely dashed to
+pieces.' See the note on _ira ... interfecit_, 18, 4.
+
+52. 1. membris eorum divulsis, 'tearing them limb from limb.'
+
+4. ne ... quidem. See the note on 34, 25.
+
+6. tam. Notice that the force of a second demonstrative word is lost in
+the English rendering. So _hic tantus vir_, 'this great man,' etc.
+
+7. humi. See the note on 30, 16.
+
+prostratus, 'throwing himself down.' See the note on _continebantur_,
+20, 26.
+
+8. rei gerendae, 'for action.' Compare 39, 8.
+
+9. in eo ... transfigeret, 'was on the point of transfixing.' The clause
+of result ut ... transfigeret is explanatory of in eo.
+
+13. nihil sibi profuturum. See the note on 43, 25.
+
+17. hoc conatu. See the note on 13, 11.
+
+18. nulla ... oblata, 'since no hope of safety presented itself.' See the
+note on _continebantur_, 20, 26.
+
+21. et. See the note on 28, 18.
+
+23. laturi essent, 'would bring,' more literally 'were going to bring.'
+Notice that in subjunctive constructions the periphrastic form is
+necessary to express future action clearly, since the subjunctive has no
+future.
+
+25. quod, object of the implied _fecerat_.
+
+53. 14. quo. See the note on 43, 7.
+
+15. id ... saluti, 'and this was his salvation,' literally 'that which
+was for safety to him.' For the datives see the note on 13, 16.
+
+20. tertium, the adverb.
+
+22. Neminem. Why is the accusative used?
+
+27. inquit. See the note on 14, 28.
+
+28. quam facultatem, for _facultatem quam_. The antecedent is often thus
+attracted into the relative clause,
+
+ne omittamus, 'let us not neglect,' the hortatory subjunctive.
+
+29. rei gerendae. See the note on 52, 8.
+
+54. 1. extremum palum, 'the end of the stake.' Other adjectives denoting
+a part of the object named by the noun they modify are _medius_, 'the
+middle of'; _ceterus_, 'the rest of'; _reliquus_, 'the rest of';
+_primus_, 'the first of'; _summus_, 'the top of'; _imus_, 'the bottom
+of.'
+
+5. dum errat, 'wandering.'
+
+23. pecus. Is this _pecus, pecoris_, or _pecus, pecudis_? See the note on
+_pecora_, 20, 26.
+
+24. venerat. We say 'came,' but the Latin by the use of the pluperfect
+denotes that this action preceded that of tractabat.
+
+55. 1. quas. See the note on _quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+inter se. Compare 21, 20.
+
+5. fore, 'would happen.'
+
+15. aliquod. Compare 42, 12, and the note.
+
+16. id ... erat, 'as was indeed the case.'
+
+17. auxiliandi causa. See the note on 51, 23.
+
+26. correptum coniecit, 'seized and threw.'
+
+27. non ... submergerentur. See the note on 37, 7.
+
+56. 4-6. These verses and those on p. 57 and p. 59 are quoted from
+Vergil's Aeneid.
+
+6. vinclis, for _vinculis_.
+
+8. viris. Let the quantity of the first _i_ tell you from what nominative
+this word comes.
+
+11. sibi proficiscendum. See the note on _maturandum sibi_, 42, 12.
+
+13. iam profecturo, 'as he was now about to set out.'
+
+16. naviganti, 'to one sailing.'
+
+25. mirabantur, 'had been wondering.' With iam dudum and similar
+expressions the imperfect denotes action begun some time before and still
+going on at the given past time. This is similar to the use of the
+present already commented on (see the note on _es_, 4, 1).
+
+28. celata, plural because of the plural expression aurum et argentum.
+
+57. 1. venti, subject of ruunt and perflant.
+
+2. velut agmine facto, 'as if formed in column.'
+
+3. data. _Est_ is omitted.
+
+10. proiecissent. See the note on _accepissent_, 26, 21.
+
+13. in terram egrediendum esse, 'that a landing must be made.'
+
+18. quam, an adverb modifying crudeli.
+
+19. essent, informal indirect discourse or subjunctive by attraction.
+
+20. vellet, subjunctive of characteristic. This name is given to the
+subjunctive when used in relative clauses to define or restrict an
+indefinite or general antecedent. So here it is not 'no one was found,'
+but 'no one willing to undertake this task was found.'
+
+21. deducta est, 'came.'
+
+23. praeesset, subjunctive of purpose.
+
+25. evenit. This verb takes the same construction as _accidit_, 30, 1.
+
+58. 1. nihil. See the note on 37, 22.
+
+2. morti. Compare 49, 26.
+
+5. aliquantum itineris, 'some distance on the journey.' The two words are
+accusative of extent of space and partitive genitive respectively.
+
+11. sibi, 'for them,' dative of reference.
+
+12. foris. This is translated like foras above, but the former was
+originally locative and is therefore used with verbs of rest; the latter,
+accusative of place whither and therefore used with verbs of motion.
+
+15. accubuerunt. See the note on 37, 6.
+
+25. perturbatus, used as a predicate adjective, 'agitated.'
+
+27. correpto. See the note on 38, 8.
+
+59. 1. quid. See the note on _quis_, 30, 3.
+
+gravius, 'serious.'
+
+ei. The direct form of these two speeches would be: _Si quid gravius tibi
+acciderit, omnium salus in summo discrimine erit_; and _Neminem invitum
+mecum adducam; tibi licet, si mavis, in navi manere; ego ipse sine ullo
+praesidio rem suscipiam_. Notice that _ego_ is not used to represent _se_
+of line 2, but is used for _se_ of line 4 for the sake of the contrast
+with _tibi_.
+
+6. nullo. Instead of the genitive and ablative of _nemo_, _nullius_ and
+_nullo_ are regularly used.
+
+7. Aliquantum itineris. See the note on 58, 5.
+
+10. in eo ... intraret. See the note on 52, 9.
+
+11. ei. Compare 49, 26, and 58, 2.
+
+14. Circes, a Greek form of the genitive.
+
+16. Num. See the note on 44, 20. Nonne (line 14) is used to introduce a
+question to which an affirmative answer is expected.
+
+18. nullis. See the note on 24, 3.
+
+22. tetigerit. See the note on 30, 20.
+
+tu ... facias, 'see that you draw your sword and make an attack upon
+her.'
+
+24. visus, 'sight,' The use of the plural is poetic.
+
+25. tenuem ... auram. The order of the words here is poetic.
+
+60. 1. atque, 'as.' After adjectives and adverbs denoting likeness and
+unlikeness, this use of _atque_ is regular.
+
+3. depulsa est. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+4. sibi. See the note on 58, 11.
+
+11. ut ... erat, 'as he had been instructed,' more literally 'as had been
+enjoined upon him.' An intransitive verb must be used impersonally in the
+passive, for it is the direct object of the active voice that becomes the
+subject of the passive. If the intransitive verb takes a dative in the
+active, this dative is kept in the passive. Notice that the corresponding
+English verbs are transitive, and that the dative may therefore be
+rendered as the object in the active construction and as the subject in
+the passive.
+
+13. sensisset. See the note on _vidissent_, 36, 15.
+
+14. sibi vitam adimeret, 'take her life.' The dative of reference is thus
+used after some compound verbs to name the person from whom a thing is
+taken. This construction is sometimes called the dative of separation.
+
+15. timore perterritam. See the note on 14, 11.
+
+20. ei pedes, 'his feet.' See the note on 44, 10.
+
+21. imperasset, contracted from _imperavisset_.
+
+22. in atrium. See the note on 7, 3.
+
+26. sunt, goes with reducti.
+
+29. reliquis Graecis, indirect object of diceret.
+
+30. Circaeam. Notice that this use of the adjective instead of the
+genitive often cannot be imitated in the English rendering, but must be
+translated by the possessive case or a prepositional phrase.
+
+61. 8. ei persuasum sit, 'he was persuaded.' See the note on 60, 11. The
+clause ut ... maneret is the subject of persuasum sit; if the latter were
+active, the clause would be its object. For the tense of persuasum sit
+see the note on 19, 22.
+
+10. consumpserat. See the note on 14, 3.
+
+patriae, objective genitive, to be rendered, as often, with 'for.'
+
+15. usui. See the note on 34, 20.
+
+23. antequam perveniret. We say 'before he could come.' See the note on
+_possent_, 27, 20.
+
+24. hoc loco. See the note on 24, 2.
+
+longum est. We say '_would_ be tedious' or '_would_ take too long.'

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+THE LITTLE THAT IS MINE IN THIS LITTLE BOOK I GRATEFULLY DEDICATE TO
+PROFESSOR JOSEPH HETHERINGTON M'DANIELS TEACHER AND FRIEND
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE
+
+
+Some time ago a fellow-teacher brought the _Fabulae Faciles_ to my
+notice, and I have since used two of them each year with my class of
+beginners in Latin with increasing appreciation. Indeed, I know nothing
+better to introduce the student into the reading of connected narrative,
+and to bridge the great gulf between the beginner's book of the
+prevailing type and the Latinity of Caesar or Nepos. They are adapted to
+this use not merely by reason of their simplicity and interest, but more
+particularly by the graduating of difficulties and the large use of
+Caesarian words and phrases to which Mr. Ritchie calls attention in his
+preface.
+
+Doubtless many American teachers have become familiar with portions of
+the _Fabulae_, for they have been freely drawn upon in several Latin
+readers recently published in this country. I venture to hope that those
+who have made the acquaintance of the work in this way will welcome a
+complete edition.
+
+In England the little book has had a large use. Its pedagogical
+excellencies are well summed up in a letter addressed to Mr. Ritchie by
+the Very Rev. E.C. Wickham, formerly Head-Master of Wellington College,
+the well-known editor of Horace:--
+
+"It launches the student at once in ancient life. The old classical
+stories, simply told, seem to me much the best material for early Latin
+reading. They are abundantly interesting; they are taken for granted in
+the real literature of the language; and they can be told without
+starting the beginner on a wrong track by a barbarous mixture of ancient
+and modern ideas.
+
+"It combines, if I may say so, very skilfully, the interest of a
+continuous story, with the gradual and progressive introduction of
+constructions and idioms. These seem to me to be introduced at the right
+moment, and to be played upon long enough to make them thoroughly
+familiar."
+
+In revising Mr. Ritchie's book for the use of American schools it has
+seemed best to make extensive changes. Long vowels have been marked
+throughout, and the orthography of Latin words has been brought into
+conformity with our practice. Many liberties have been taken with the
+text itself, especially in the latter part, in the way of making it
+approximate more closely to our rather strict notions of the standards of
+model prose. A few words and uses of words not found in the prose writers
+of the republic have been retained, but nothing, it is hoped, that will
+seriously mislead the young student. I shall welcome any criticism that
+may lead to further changes in the text in future editions.
+
+The notes are entirely new, and are intended for students who have but
+just finished the beginner's book or have not yet finished it. Some notes
+may appear at first sight unnecessary or unnecessarily hard, but the
+reason for their insertion should be evident when the student begins the
+reading of classical Latin, the difficulties of which will be less likely
+to appal the beginner if some of them have been already conquered. I
+believe it a mistake to postpone all treatment of the uses of the
+subjunctive, for instance, or of the constructions of indirect discourse
+until the study of Nepos or Caesar is begun. Besides, it is easier to
+neglect notes than to supply them, and the teacher who prefers to do the
+first reading without much attention to the more difficult constructions
+will only need to tell his students to disregard certain of my notes--or
+all of them.
+
+There are no references to the grammars, but syntax has been given such
+treatment as seemed needed to supplement its treatment in the beginner's
+book. Teachers will therefore be able to postpone the use of a formal
+manual of grammar, if they so desire. Those who wish their classes to
+begin the reading of Latin at the earliest possible moment will find it
+feasible to use this book as soon as the inflections and the more
+elementary principles of syntax have been mastered.
+
+In the vocabulary, the derivation or composition and the original meaning
+of words have been indicated wherever these seemed likely to prove
+helpful. Principal parts and genitives have been given in such a way as
+to prevent misunderstanding, and at the same time emphasize the
+composition of the verb or the suffix of the noun: for example, _abscídó,
+-cídere, -cídí, -císus; aetás, -tátis_.
+
+The lists of works of English literature and of art in which the myths
+are treated are only suggestive. Occasional readings from the one and
+exhibitions of representations of the other, either in the form of
+photographs or by the stereopticon, will not only stimulate interest in
+the Latin text but aid also in creating in the student a taste for
+literature and for art.
+
+I planned at first to add some exercises for retranslation, but after
+careful consideration it has seemed not worth while. Most teachers will
+prefer not to base composition upon the Latin read at this stage, and
+those who wish to do so will find it an easy matter to prepare their own
+exercises, or can draw upon the copious exercises prepared by Mr. Ritchie
+and published separately under the title _Imitative Exercises in Easy
+Latin Prose_.
+
+In the reading of proof I have had generous help from Dr. F.K. Ball of
+The Phillips Exeter Academy, Mr. J.C. Flood of St. Mark's School, and Mr.
+A.T. Dudley of Noble and Greenough's School, Boston. The proof-sheets
+have been used with the beginner's class in this Academy, and I have thus
+been able to profit by the criticism of my associate Mr. G.B. Rogers, and
+to test the work myself. The assistance of my wife has greatly lightened
+the labor of verifying the vocabulary.

+the larger work, and is so cheap and so useful that it ought to lie on
+the desk of every teacher of Greek or Latin.
+
+
+
+
+INTRODUCTORY NOTE
+
+
+The _Fabulae Faciles_, or 'Easy Stories.' are four Greek myths retold in
+Latin, not by a Roman writer, however, but by an Englishman, who believed
+that they would afford interesting and pleasant reading for young folks
+who were just beginning the study of the Latin language. By myth is meant
+an imaginative tale that has been handed down by tradition from remote
+antiquity concerning supernatural beings and events. Such tales are
+common among all primitive peoples, and are by them accepted as true.
+They owe their origin to no single author, but grow up as the untutored
+imagination strives to explain to itself the operations of nature and the
+mysteries of life, or amuses itself with stories of the brave exploits of
+heroic ancestors.
+
+The most beautiful and delightful of all myths are those that have come
+down to us in the remains of the literature and the art of ancient Greece
+and Rome; they are also the most important to us, for many of the great
+masterpieces of English literature and of modern art have been inspired
+by them and cannot be understood and appreciated by one ignorant of
+classical mythology.
+
+Of this mythology the _Fabulae Faciles_ give but a small part. If you
+wish to know more of the subject, you should read Gayley's _The Classic
+Myths in English Literature_, Guerber's _Myths of Greece and Rome_, or
+the books by Kingsiey, Cox, Church, and Francillon mentioned earlier.
+
+
+
+
+PERSEUS
+
+
+_Acrisius, an ancient king of Argos, had been warned by an oracle that he
+should perish by the hand of his grandson. On discovering, therefore,
+that his daughter Danae had given birth to a son, Acrisius endeavored to
+escape his fate by setting both mother and child adrift on the sea. They
+were saved, however, by the help of Jupiter; and Perseus, the child, grew
+up at the court of Polydectes, king of Seriphos, an island in the Aegean
+Sea. On reaching manhood, Perseus was sent by Polydectes to fetch the
+head of Medusa, one of the Gorgons. This dangerous task he accomplished
+with the help of Apollo and Minerva, and on his way home he rescued
+Andromeda, daughter of Cepheus, from a sea-monster. Perseus then married
+Andromeda, and lived some time in the country of Cepheus. At length he
+returned to Seríphos, and turned Polydectes to stone by showing him the
+Gorgon's head; he then went to the court of Acrisius, who fled in terror
+at the news of his grandson's return. The oracle was duly fulfilled, for
+Acrisius was accidentally killed by a quoit thrown by Perseus_.
+
+
+1. _THE ARK_
+
+Haec nárrantur á poétís dé Perseó. Perseus fílius erat Iovis, máximí
+deórum; avus éius Acrisius appellábátur. Acrisius volébat Perseum nepótem
+suum necáre; nam propter óráculum puerum timébat. Comprehendit igitur
+Perseum adhúc infantem, et cum mátre in arcá lígneá inclúsit. Tum arcam
+ipsam in mare coniécit. Danaé, Perseí máter, mágnopere territa est;
+tempestás enim mágna mare turbábat. Perseus autem in sinú mátris
+dormiébat.
+
+2. _JUPITER SAVES HIS SON_
+
+Iuppiter tamen haec omnia vídit, et fílium suum serváre cónstituit.
+Tranquillum igitur fécit mare, et arcam ad ínsulam Seríphum perdúxit.
+Húius ínsulae Polydectés tum réx erat. Postquam arca ad lítus appulsa
+est, Danaé in haréná quiétem capiébat. Post breve tempus á piscátóre
+quódam reperta est, et ad domum régis Polydectis adducta est. Ille mátrem
+et puerum benígné excépit, et iís sédem tútam in fínibus suís dedit.
+Danaé hóc dónum libenter accépit, et pró tantó benefició régí grátiás
+égit.
+
+3. _PERSEUS IS SENT ON HIS TRAVELS_
+
+Perseus igitur multós annós ibi habitábat, et cum mátre suá vítam beátam
+agébat. At Polydectés Danaén mágnopere amábat, atque eam in mátrimónium
+dúcere volébat. Hóc tamen cónsilium Perseó minimé grátum erat. Polydectés
+igitur Perseum dímittere cónstituit. Tum iuvenem ad sé vocávit et haec
+díxit: "Turpe est hanc ígnávam vítam agere; iam dúdum tú aduléscéns es.
+Quó úsque híc manébis? Tempus est arma capere et virtútem praestáre. Hinc
+abí, et caput Medúsae mihi refer."
+
+4. _PERSEUS GETS HIS OUTFIT_
+
+Perseus ubi haec audívit, ex ínsulá discessit, et postquam ad continentem
+vénit, Medúsam quaesívit. Diú frústrá quaerébat; namque nátúram locí
+ígnórábat. Tandem Apolló et Minerva viam démónstrávérunt. Prímum ad
+Graeás, sorórés Medúsae, pervénit. Ab hís tálária et galeam magicam
+accépit. Apolló autem et Minerva falcem et speculum dedérunt. Tum
+postquam tálária pedibus induit, in áera ascendit. Diú per ácra volábat;
+tandem tamen ad eum locum vénit ubi Medúsa cum céterís Gorgonibus
+habitábat. Gorgonés autem mónstra erant specié horribilí; capita enim
+eárum anguibus omnínó contécta erant. Manús etiam ex aere factae erant.
+
+5. _THE GORGON'S HEAD_
+
+Rés difficillima erat caput Gorgonis abscídere; éius enim cónspectú
+homines in saxum vertébantur. Propter hanc causam Minerva speculum Perseó
+dederat. Ille igitur tergum vertit, et in speculum ínspiciébat; hóc modó
+ad locum vénit ubi Medúsa dormiébat. Tum falce suá caput éius únó íctú
+abscídit. Céterae Gorgonés statim é somnó excitátae sunt, et ubi rem
+vídérunt, írá commótae sunt. Arma rapuérunt, et Perseum occídere
+volébant. Ille autem dum fugit, galeam magicam induit; et ubi hóc fécit,
+statim é cónspectú eárum évásit.
+
+6. _THE SEA-SERPENT_
+
+Post haec Perseus in fínís Aethiopum vénit. Ibi Cépheus quídam illó
+tempore régnábat. Híc Neptúnum, maris deum, ólim offenderat; Neptúnus
+autem mónstrum saevissimum míserat. Hóc cottídié é marí veniébat et
+hominés dévorábat. Ob hanc causam pavor animós omnium occupáverat.
+Cépheus igitur óráculum deí Hammónis cónsuluit, atque á deó iússus est
+fíliam mónstró trádere. Éius autem fília, nomine Andromeda, virgó
+fórmósissima erat. Cépheus ubi haec audívit, mágnum dolórem percépit.
+Volébat tamen cívís suós é tantó perículó extrahere, atque ob eam causam
+imperáta Hammónis facere cónstituit.
+
+7. _A HUMAN SACRIFICE_
+
+Tum réx diem certam díxit et omnia parávit. Ubi ea diés vénit, Andromeda
+ad lítus déducta est, et in cónspectú omnium ad rúpem adligáta est. Omnés
+fátum éius déplórábant, nec lacrimás tenébant. At subitó, dum mónstrum
+exspectant, Perseus accurrit; et ubi lacrimás vídit, causam dolóris
+quaerit. Illí rem tótam expónunt et puellam démónstrant. Dum haec
+geruntur, fremitus terribilis audítur; simul mónstrum horribilí specié
+procul cónspicitur. Éius cónspectus timórem máximum omnibus iniécit.
+Mónstrum mágná celeritáte ad lítus contendit, iamque ad locum
+appropinquábat ubi puella stábat.
+
+8. _THE RESCUE_
+
+At Perseus ubi haec vídit, gladium suum édúxit, et postquam tálária
+induit, in áera sublátus est. Tum désuper in mónstrum impetum subitó
+fécit, et gladió suó collum éius graviter vulnerávit. Mónstrum ubi sénsit
+vulnus, fremitum horribilem édidit, et sine morá tótum corpus in aquam
+mersit. Perseus dum circum lítus volat, reditum éius exspectábat. Mare
+autem intereá undique sanguine ínficitur. Post breve tempus bélua rúrsus
+caput sustulit; mox tamen á Perseó íctú gravióre vulneráta est. Tum
+iterum sé in undás mersit, neque posteá vísa est.
+
+9. _THE REWARD OF VALOR_
+
+Perseus postquam ad lítus déscendit, prímum tálária exuit; tum ad rúpem
+vénit ubi Andromeda vincta erat. Ea autem omnem spem salútis déposuerat,
+et ubi Perseus adiit, terróre paene exanimáta erat. Ille víncula statim
+solvit, et puellam patrí reddidit. Cépheus ob hanc rem máximó gaudió
+adfectus est. Meritam grátiam pró tantó benefició Perseó rettulit;
+praetereá Andromedam ipsam eí in mátrimónium dedit. Ille libenter hóc
+dónum accépit et puellam dúxit. Paucós annós cum uxóre suá in eá regióne
+habitábat, et in mágnó honóre erat apud omnís Aethiopés. Mágnopere tamen
+mátrem suam rúrsus vidére cupiébat. Tandem igitur cum uxóre suá é régnó
+Cépheí discessit.
+
+10. _POLYDECTES IS TURNED TO STONE_
+
+Postquam Perseus ad ínsulam návem appulit, sé ad locum contulit ubi máter
+ólim habitáverat, sed domum invénit vacuam et omnínó désertam. Trís diés
+per tótam ínsulam mátrem quaerébat; tandem quartó dié ad templum Diánae
+pervénit. Húc Danaé refúgerat, quod Polydectem timébat. Perseus ubi haec
+cógnóvit, írá mágná commótus est; ad régiam Polydectis sine morá
+contendit, et ubi eó vénit, statim in átrium inrúpit. Polydectés mágnó
+timóre adfectus est et fugere volébat. Dum tamen ille fugit, Perseus
+caput Medúsae mónstrávit; ille autem simul atque hóc vídit, in saxum
+versus est.
+
+II. _THE ORACLE FULFILLED_
+
+Post haec Perseus cum uxóre suá ad urbem Acrisí rediit. Ille autem ubi
+Perseum vídit, mágnó terróre adfectus est; nam propter óráculum istud
+nepótem suum adhúc timébat. In Thessaliam igitur ad urbem Lárísam statim
+refúgit, frústrá tamen; neque enim fátum suum vítávit. Post paucós annós
+réx Lárísae lúdós mágnós fécit; núntiós in omnís partís dímíserat et diem
+édíxerat. Multí ex omnibus urbibus Graeciae ad lúdós convénérunt. Ipse
+Perseus inter aliós certámen discórum iniit. At dum discum conicit, avum
+suum cású occídit; Acrisius enim inter spectátórés éius certáminis forte
+stábat.

+HERCULES
+
+
+_Hercules, a Greek hero celebrated for his great strength, was pursued
+throughout his life by the hatred of Juno. While yet an infant, he
+strangled some serpents sent by the goddess to destroy him. During his
+boyhood and youth he performed various marvelous feats of strength, and
+on reaching manhood succeeded in delivering the Thebans from the
+oppression of the Minÿae. In a fit of madness sent upon him by Juno, he
+slew his own children; and on consulting the Delphic oracle as to how he
+should cleanse himself from this crime, he was ordered to submit himself
+for twelve years to Eurystheus, king of Tiryns, and to perform whatever
+tasks were appointed him. Hercules obeyed the oracle, and during the
+twelve years of his servitude accomplished twelve extraordinary feats
+known as the Labors of Hercules. His death was caused unintentionally by
+his wife Dejanira. Hercules had shot with his poisoned arrows a centaur
+named Nessus, who had insulted Dejanira. Nessus, before he died, gave
+some of his blood to Dejanira, and told her it would act as a charm to
+secure her husband's love. Some time after, Dejanira wishing to try the
+charm soaked one of her husband's garments in the blood, not knowing
+that it was poisoned. Hercules put on the robe, and after suffering
+terrible torments died, or was carried off by his father Jupiter_.
+
+
+12. _THE HATRED OF JUNO_
+
+Herculés, Alcménae fílius, ólim in Graeciá habitábat. Híc omnium hominum
+validissimus fuisse dícitur. At Iúnó, régína deórum, Alcménam óderat et
+Herculem adhúc ínfantem necáre voluit. Mísit igitur duás serpentís
+saevissimás; hae mediá nocte in cubiculum Alcménae vénérunt, ubi Herculés
+cum frátre suó dormiébat. Nec tamen in cúnís, sed in scútó mágnó
+cubábant. Serpentés iam appropinquáverant et scútum movébant; itaque
+puerí é somnó excitátí sunt.
+
+13. _HERCULES AND THE SERPENTS_
+
+Íphiclés, fráter Herculis, mágná vóce exclámávit; sed Herculés ipse,
+fortissimus puer, haudquáquam territus est. Parvís manibus serpentís
+statim prehendit, et colla eárum mágná ví compressit. Tálí modó serpentés
+á pueró interfectae sunt. Alcména autem, máter puerórum, clámórem
+audíverat, et marítum suum é somnó excitáverat. Ille lúmen accendit et
+gladium suum rapuit; tum ad puerós properábat, sed ubi ad locum vénit,
+rem míram vídit, Herculés enim rídébat et serpentís mortuás mónstrábat.
+
+14. _THE MUSIC-LESSON_
+
+Herculés á pueró corpus suum díligenter exercébat; mágnam partem diéí in
+palaestrá cónsúmébat; didicit etiam arcum intendere et téla conicere. Hís
+exercitátiónibus vírés éius cónfírmátae sunt. In músicá etiam á Linó
+centauró érudiébátur (centaurí autem equí erant sed caput hominis
+habébant); huic tamen artí minus díligenter studébat. Híc Linus Herculem
+ólim obiúrgábat, quod nón studiósus erat; tum puer írátus citharam subitó
+rapuit, et omnibus víribus caput magistrí ínfélícis percussit. Ille íctú
+próstrátus est, et pauló post é vítá excessit, neque quisquam posteá id
+officium suscipere voluit.
+
+15. _HERCULES ESCAPES SACRIFICE_
+
+Dé Hercule haec etiam inter alia nárrantur. Ólim dum iter facit, in fínís
+Aegyptiórum vénit. Ibi réx quídam, nómine Búsíris, illó tempore régnábat;
+híc autem vir crúdélissimus hominés immoláre cónsuéverat. Herculem igitur
+corripuit et in vincula coniécit. Tum núntiós dímísit et diem sacrifició
+édíxit. Mox ea diés appetébat, et omnia ríte paráta sunt. Manús Herculis
+caténís ferreís vinctae sunt, et mola salsa in caput éius ínspersa est.
+Mós enim erat apud antíquós salem et fár capitibus victimárum impónere.
+Iam victima ad áram stábat; iam sacerdós cultrum súmpserat. Subitó tamen
+Herculés mágnó cónátú vincula perrúpit; tum íctú sacerdótem próstrávit;
+alteró régem ipsum occídit.
+
+16. _A CRUEL DEED_
+
+Herculés iam aduléscéns Thébís habitábat. Réx Thébárum, vir ígnávus,
+Creón appellábátur. Minyae, géns bellicósissima, Thébánís fínitimí erant.
+Légátí autem á Minyís ad Thébánós quotannís mittébantur; hí Thébás
+veniébant et centum bovés postulábant. Thébání enim ólim á Minyís
+superátí erant; tribúta igitur régí Minyárum quotannís pendébant. At
+Herculés cívís suós hóc stípendió líberáre cónstituit; légátós igitur
+comprehendit, atque aurís eórum abscídit. Légátí autem apud omnís gentís
+sánctí habentur.
+
+17. _THE DEFEAT OF THE MINYAE_
+
+Ergínus, réx Minyárum, ob haec vehementer írátus statim cum omnibus
+cópiís in fínís Thébánórum contendit. Creón adventum éius per
+explórátórés cógnóvit. Ipse tamen púgnáre nóluit, nam mágnó timóre
+adfectus erat; Thébání igitur Herculem imperátórem creávérunt. Ille
+núntiós in omnís partís dímísit, et cópiás coégit; tum proximó dié cum
+mágnó exercitú profectus est. Locum idóneum délégit et aciem ínstrúxit.
+Tum Thébání é superióre locó impetum in hostís fécérunt. Illí autem
+impetum sustinére nón potuérunt; itaque aciés hostium pulsa est atque in
+fugam conversa.
+
+18. _MADNESS AND MURDER_
+
+Post hóc proelium Herculés cópiás suás ad urbem redúxit. Omnés Thébání
+propter victóriam máximé gaudébant; Creón autem mágnís honóribus Herculem
+decorávit, atque fíliam suam eí in mátrimónium dedit. Herculés cum uxóre
+suá beátam vítam agébat; sed post paucós annós subitó in furórem incidit,
+atque líberós suós ipse suá manú occídit. Post breve tempus ad sánitátem
+reductus est, et propter hóc facinus mágnó dolóre adfectus est; mox ex
+urbe effúgit et in silvás sé recépit. Nólébant enim cívés sermónem cum eó
+habére.
+
+19. _HERCULES CONSULTS THE ORACLE_
+
+Herculés tantum scelus expiáre mágnopere cupiébat. Cónstituit igitur ad
+óráculum Delphicum íre; hóc enim óráculum erat omnium celeberrimum. Ibi
+templum erat Apollinis plúrimís dónís órnátum. Hóc in templó sedébat
+fémina quaedam, nómine Pýthia et cónsilium dabat iís quí ad óráculum
+veniébant. Haec autem fémina ab ipsó Apolline docébátur, et voluntátem
+deí hominibus énúntiábat. Herculés igitur, quí Apollinem praecipué
+colébat, húc vénit. Tum rem tótam exposuit, neque scelus célávit.
+
+20. _THE ORACLE'S REPLY_
+
+Ubi Herculés fínem fécit, Pýthia prímó tacébat; tandem tamen iussit eum
+ad urbem Tíryntha íre, et Eurystheí régis omnia imperáta facere. Herculés
+ubi haec audívit, ad urbem illam contendit, et Eurystheó régí sé in
+servitútem trádidit. Duodecim annós crúdélissimó Eurystheó serviébat, et
+duodecim labórés, quós ille imperáverat, cónfécit; hóc enim únó modó
+tantum scelus expiárí potuit. Dé hís labóribus plúrima á poétís scrípta
+sunt. Multa tamen quae poétae nárrant vix crédibilia sunt.
+
+21. _FIRST LABOR: THE NEMEAN LION_
+
+Prímum ab Eurystheó iússus est Herculés leónem occídere quí illó tempore
+vallem Nemeaeam reddébat ínféstam. In silvás igitur in quibus leó
+habitábat statim sé contulit. Mox feram vídit, et arcum, quem sécum
+attulerat, intendit; éius tamen pellem, quae dénsissima erat, tráicere
+nón potuit. Tum clává mágná quam semper gerébat leónem percussit, frústrá
+tamen; neque enim hóc modó eum occídere potuit. Tum démum collum mónstrí
+bracchiís suís complexus est et faucís éius omnibus víribus compressit.
+Hóc modó leó breví tempore exanimátus est; núlla enim respírandí facultás
+eí dabátur. Tum Herculés cadáver ad oppidum in umerís rettulit; et
+pellem, quam détráxerat, posteá pró veste gerébat. Omnés autem quí eam
+regiónem incolébant, ubi fámam dé morte leónis accépérunt, vehementer
+gaudébant et Herculem mágnó honóre habébant.
+
+22. _SECOND LABOR: THE LERNEAN HYDRA_
+
+Pauló post iússus est ab Eurystheó Hydram necáre. Hóc autem mónstrum erat
+cui novem erant capita. Herculés igitur cum amícó Ioláó profectus est ad
+palúdem Lernaeam, in quá Hydra habitábat. Mox mónstrum invénit, et
+quamquam rés erat mágní perículí, collum éius sinistrá prehendit. Tum
+dextrá capita novem abscídere coepit; quotiéns tamen hóc fécerat, nova
+capita exoriébantur. Diú frústrá labórábat; tandem hóc cónátú déstitit.
+Deinde arborés succídere et ígnem accendere cónstituit. Hóc celeriter
+fécit, et postquam lígna ígnem comprehendérunt, face árdente colla
+adússit, unde capita exoriébantur. Nec tamen sine mágnó labóre haec
+fécit; vénit enim auxilió Hydrae cancer ingéns, quí, dum Herculés capita
+abscídit, crúra éius mordébat. Postquam mónstrum tálí modó interfécit,
+sagittás suás sanguine éius imbuit, itaque mortiferás reddidit.
+
+23. _THIRD LABOR: THE CERYNEAN STAG_
+
+Postquam Eurystheó caedés Hydrae núntiáta est, mágnus timor animum éius
+occupávit. Iussit igitur Herculem cervum quendam ad sé referre; nóluit
+enim virum tantae audáciae in urbe retinére. Híc autem cervus, cúius
+cornua aurea fuisse tráduntur, incrédibilí fuit celeritáte. Herculés
+igitur prímó vestígiís eum in silvá persequébátur; deinde ubi cervum
+ipsum vídit, omnibus víribus currere coepit. Úsque ad vesperum currébat,
+ neque nocturnum tempus sibi ad quiétem relinquébat, frústrá tamen; núlló
+enim modó cervum cónsequí poterat. Tandem postquam tótum annum cucurrerat
+(ita tráditur), cervum cursú exanimátum cépit, et vívum ad Eurystheum
+rettulit.
+
+24. _FOURTH LABOR: THE ERYMANTHIAN BOAR_
+
+Tum véró iússus est Herculés aprum quendam capere quí illó tempore agrós
+Erymanthiós vástábat et incolás húius regiónis mágnopere terrébat.
+Herculés rem suscépit et in Arcadiam profectus est. Postquam in silvam
+paulum prógressus est, apró occurrit. Ille autem simul atque Herculem
+vídit, statim refúgit; et timóre perterritus in altam fossam sé próiécit.
+Herculés igitur laqueum quem attulerat iniécit, et summá cum difficultáte
+aprum é fossá extráxit. Ille etsí fortiter repúgnábat, núlló modó sé
+líberáre potuit; et ab Hercule ad Eurystheum vívus relátus est.
+
+25. _HERCULES AT THE CENTAUR'S CAVE_
+
+Dé quartó labóre, quem suprá nárrávimus, haec etiam tráduntur. Herculés
+dum iter in Arcadiam facit, ad eam regiónem vénit quam centaurí
+incolébant. Cum nox iam appeteret, ad spéluncam dévertit in quá centaurus
+quídam, nómine Pholus, habitábat.
+
+Ille Herculem benígné excépit et cénam parávit. At Herculés postquam
+cénávit, vínum á Pholó postulávit. Erat autem in spéluncá mágna amphora
+vínó optimó repléta, quam centaurí ibi déposuerant. Pholus igitur hóc
+vínum dare nólébat, quod reliquós centaurós timébat; núllum tamen vínum
+praeter hóc in spéluncá habébat. "Hóc vínum," inquit, "mihi commissum
+est. Sí igitur hóc dabó, centaurí mé interficient." Herculés tamen eum
+inrísit, et ipse póculum víní dé amphorá hausit.
+
+26. _THE FIGHT WITH THE CENTAURS_
+
+Simul atque amphora aperta est, odor iúcundissimus undique diffúsus est;
+vínum enim suávissimum erat. Centaurí nótum odórem sénsérunt et omnés ad
+locum convénérunt.
+
+Ubi ad spéluncam pervénérunt, mágnopere írátí erant quod Herculem
+bibentem vídérunt. Tum arma rapuérunt et Pholum interficere volébant.
+Herculés tamen in aditú spéluncae cónstitit et impetum eórum fortissimé
+sustinébat. Facés árdentís in eós coniécit; multós etiam sagittís suís
+vulnerávit. Hae autem sagittae eaedem erant quae sanguine Hydrae ólim
+imbútae erant. Omnés igitur quós ille sagittís vulneráverat venénó statim
+absúmptí sunt; reliquí autem ubi hóc vídérunt, terga vertérunt et fugá
+salútem petiérunt.
+
+27. _THE FATE OF PHOLUS_
+
+Postquam reliquí fúgérunt, Pholus ex spéluncá égressus est, et corpora
+spectábat eórum quí sagittís interfectí erant. Mágnopere autem mírátus
+est quod tam leví vulnere exanimátí erant, et causam éius reí quaerébat.
+Adiit igitur locum ubi cadáver cúiusdam centaurí iacébat, et sagittam é
+vulnere tráxit. Haec tamen síve cású síve cónsilió deórum é manibus éius
+lapsa est, et pedem leviter vulnerávit. Ille extempló dolórem gravem per
+omnia membra sénsit, et post breve tempus ví venéní exanimátus est. Mox
+Herculés, quí reliquós centaurós secútus erat, ad spéluncam rediit, et
+mágnó cum dolóre Pholum mortuum vídit. Multís cum lacrimís corpus amící
+ad sepultúram dedit; tum, postquam alterum póculum víní exhausit, somnó
+sé dedit.
+
+28. _FIFTH LABOR: THE AUGEAN STABLES_
+
+Deinde Eurystheus Herculí hunc labórem graviórem imposuit. Augéás quídam,
+quí illó tempore régnum in Élide obtinébat, tria mília boum habébat. Hí
+in stabuló ingentis mágnitúdinis inclúdébantur. Stabulum autem inluvié ac
+squálóre erat obsitum, neque enim ad hóc tempus umquam púrgátum erat. Hóc
+Herculés intrá spatium úníus diéí púrgáre iússus est. Ille, etsí rés erat
+multae operae, negótium suscépit. Prímum mágnó labóre fossam duodévígintí
+pedum dúxit, per quam flúminis aquam dé montibus ad múrum stabulí
+perdúxit. Tum postquam múrum perrúpit, aquam in stabulum immísit et tálí
+modó contrá opíniónem omnium opus cónfécit.
+
+29. _SIXTH LABOR: THE STYMPHALIAN BIRDS_
+
+Post paucós diés Herculés ad oppidum Stymphálum iter fécit; imperáverat
+enim eí Eurystheus ut avís Stymphálidés necáret. Hae avés róstra aénea
+habébant et carne hominum véscébantur. Ille postquam ad locum pervénit,
+lacum vídit; in hóc autem lacú, quí nón procul erat ab oppidó, avés
+habitábant. Núlla tamen dabátur appropinquandí facultás; lacus enim nón
+ex aquá sed é límó cónstitit. Herculés igitur neque pedibus neque lintre
+prógredí potuit.
+
+Ille cum mágnam partem diéí frústrá cónsúmpsisset, hóc cónátú déstitit et
+ad Volcánum sé contulit, ut auxilium ab eó peteret. Volcánus (quí ab
+fabrís máximé colébátur) crepundia quae ipse ex aere fabricátus erat
+Herculí dedit. Hís Herculés tam ácrem crepitum fécit ut avés perterritae
+ávolárent. Ille autem, dum ávolant, mágnum numerum eárum sagittís
+tránsfíxit.
+
+30. _SEVENTH LABOR: THE CRETAN BULL_
+
+Tum Eurystheus Herculí imperávit ut taurum quendam ferócissimum ex ínsulá
+Crétá vívum referret. Ille igitur návem cónscendit, et cum ventus idóneus
+esset, statim solvit. Cum tamen ínsulae iam appropinquáret, tanta
+tempestás subitó coorta est ut návis cursum tenére nón posset. Tantus
+autem timor animós nautárum occupávit ut paene omnem spem salútis
+dépónerent. Herculés tamen, etsí návigandí imperítus erat, haudquáquam
+territus est.
+
+Post breve tempus summa tranquillitás cónsecúta est, et nautae, quí sé ex
+timóre iam recéperant, návem incolumem ad terram appulérunt. Herculés é
+náví égressus est, et cum ad régem Crétae vénisset, causam veniendí
+docuit. Deinde, postquam omnia paráta sunt, ad eam regiónem contendit
+quam taurus vástábat. Mox taurum vídit, et quamquam rés erat mágní
+perículí, cornua éius prehendit. Tum, cum ingentí labóre mónstrum ad
+návem tráxisset, cum praedá in Graeciam rediit.
+
+31. _EIGHTH LABOR: THE MAN-EATING HORSES OF DIOMEDE_
+
+Postquam ex ínsulá Crétá rediit, Herculés ab Eurystheó in Thráciam missus
+est, ut equós Diomédis redúceret. Hí equí carne hominum véscébantur;
+Diomédés autem, vir crúdélissimus, illís obiciébat peregrínós omnís quí
+in eam regiónem vénerant. Herculés igitur mágná celeritáte in Thráciam
+contendit et ab Dioméde postulávit ut equí sibi tráderentur. Cum tamen
+ille hóc facere nóllet, Herculés írá commótus régem interfécit et cadáver
+éius equís obicí iussit.
+
+Ita míra rérum commútátió facta est; is enim quí anteá multós cum
+cruciátú necáverat ipse eódem supplició necátus est. Cum haec núntiáta
+essent, omnés quí eam regiónem incolébant máximá laetitiá adfectí sunt et
+Herculí meritam grátiam referébant. Nón modo máximís honóribus et
+praemiís eum decorávérunt sed órábant etiam ut régnum ipse susciperet.
+Ille tamen hóc facere nólébat, et cum ad mare rediisset, návem occupávit.
+Ubi omnia ad návigandum paráta sunt, equós in náví conlocávit; deinde,
+cum idóneam tempestátem nactus esset, sine morá é portú solvit, et pauló
+post equós in lítus Argolicum exposuit.
+
+32. _NINTH LABOR: THE GIRDLE OF HIPPOLYTE_
+
+Géns Amázonum dícitur omnínó ex mulieribus cónstitisse. Hae summam
+scientiam reí mílitáris habébant, et tantam virtútem adhibébant ut cum
+virís proelium committere audérent. Hippolyté, Amázonum régína, balteum
+habuit celeberrimum quem Márs eí dederat. Adméta autem, Eurystheí fília,
+fámam dé hóc balteó accéperat et eum possidére vehementer cupiébat.
+Eurystheus igitur Herculí mandávit ut cópiás cógeret et bellum Amázonibus
+ínferret. Ille núntiós in omnís partís dímísit, et cum mágna multitúdó
+convénisset, eós délégit quí máximum úsum in ré mílitárí habébant.
+
+33. _THE GIRDLE IS REFUSED_
+
+Hís virís Herculés persuásit, postquam causam itineris exposuit, ut sécum
+iter facerent. Tum cum iís quibus persuáserat návem cónscendit, et cum
+ventus idóneus esset, post paucós diés ad óstium flúminis Thermódontis
+appulit. Postquam in fínís Amázonum vénit, núntium ad Hippolytam mísit,
+quí causam veniendí docéret et balteum pósceret. Ipsa Hippolyté balteum
+trádere volébat, quod dé Herculis virtúte fámam accéperat; reliquae tamen
+Amázonés eí persuásérunt ut negáret. At Herculés, cum haec núntiáta
+essent, bellí fortúnam temptáre cónstituit.
+
+Proximó igitur dié cum cópiás édúxisset, locum idóneum délégit et hostís
+ad púgnam évocávit. Amázonés quoque cópiás suás ex castrís édúxérunt et
+nón mágnó interválló ab Hercule aciem ínstrúxérunt.
+
+34. _THE BATTLE_
+
+Palús erat nón mágna inter duo exercitús; neutrí tamen initium tránseundí
+facere volébant. Tandem Herculés sígnum dedit, et ubi palúdem tránsiit,
+proelium commísit.
+
+Amázonés impetum virórum fortissimé sustinuérunt, et contrá opíniónem
+omnium tantam virtútem praestitérunt ut multós eórum occíderint, multós
+etiam in fugam coniécerint. Virí enim novó genere púgnae perturbábantur
+nec mágnam virtútem praestábant. Herculés autem cum haec vidéret, dé suís
+fortúnís déspéráre coepit. Mílités igitur vehementer cohortátus est ut
+prístinae virtútis memoriam retinérent neu tantum dédecus admitterent,
+hostiumque impetum fortiter sustinérent; quibus verbís animós omnium ita
+éréxit ut multí etiam quí vulneribus cónfectí essent proelium sine morá
+redintegrárent.
+
+35. _THE DEFEAT OF THE AMAZONS_
+
+Diú et ácriter púgnátum est; tandem tamen ad sólis occásum tanta
+commútátió rérum facta est ut mulierés terga verterent et fugá salútem
+peterent. Multae autem vulneribus défessae dum fugiunt captae sunt, in
+quó numeró ipsa erat Hippolyté. Herculés summam clémentiam praestitit, et
+postquam balteum accépit, líbertátem omnibus captívís dedit. Tum véró
+sociós ad mare redúxit, et quod nón multum aestátis supererat, in
+Graeciam proficíscí mátúrávit. Návem igitur cónscendit, et tempestátem
+idóneam nactus statim solvit; antequam tamen in Graeciam pervénit, ad
+urbem Tróiam návem appellere cónstituit, frúmentum enim quod sécum
+habébat iam déficere coeperat.
+
+36. _LAOMEDON AND THE SEA-MONSTER_
+
+Láomedón quídam illó tempore régnum Tróiae obtinébat. Ad hunc Neptúnus et
+Apolló annó superióre vénerant, et cum Tróia nóndum moenia habéret, ad
+hóc opus auxilium obtulerant. Postquam tamen hórum auxilió moenia
+cónfecta sunt, nólébat Láomedón praemium quod próposuerat persolvere.
+
+Neptúnus igitur et Apolló ob hanc causam írátí mónstrum quoddam mísérunt
+specié horribilí, quod cottídié é marí veniébat et homines pecudésque
+vorábat. Tróiání autem timóre perterrití in urbe continébantur, et pecora
+omnia ex agrís intrá múrós compulerant. Láomedón hís rébus commótus
+óráculum cónsuluit, ac deus eí praecépit ut filiam Hésionem mónstró
+obiceret.
+
+37. _THE RESCUE OF HESIONE_
+
+Láomedón, cum hóc respónsum renúntiátum esset, mágnum dolórem percépit;
+sed tamen, ut cívís suós tantó perículó líberáret, óráculó párére
+cónstituit et diem sacrifició díxit. Sed síve cású síve cónsilió deórum
+Herculés tempore opportúnissimó Tróiam attigit; ipsó enim temporis punctó
+quó puella caténís vincta ad lítus dédúcébátur ille návem appulit.
+Herculés é náví égressus dé rébus quae gerébantur certior factus est; tum
+írá commótus ad régem sé contulit et auxilium suum obtulit. Cum réx
+libenter eí concessisset ut, sí posset, puellam líberáret, Herculés
+mónstrum interfécit; et puellam, quae iam omnem spem salútis déposuerat,
+incolumem ad patrem redúxit. Láomedón mágnó cum gaudió fíliam suam
+accépit, et Herculí pró tantó benefició meritam grátiam rettulit.
+
+38. _TENTH LABOR: THE OXEN OF GERYON_
+
+Tum véró missus est Herculés ad ínsulam Erythíam, ut bovés Géryonis
+arcesseret. Rés erat summae difficultátis, quod bovés á quódam Eurytióne
+et á cane bicipite custódiébantur. Ipse autem Géryón speciem horribilem
+praebébat; tria enim corpora inter sé coniúncta habébat. Herculés tamen
+etsí intellegébat quantum perículum esset, negótium suscépit; ac postquam
+per multás terrás iter fécit, ad eam partem Libyae pervénit quae Európae
+proxima est. Ibi in utróque lítore fretí quod Európam á Libyá dívidit
+columnás cónstituit, quae posteá Herculis Columnae appellábantur.
+
+39. _THE GOLDEN SHIP_

+Dum híc morátur, Herculés mágnum incommodum ex calóre sólis accipiébat;
+tandem igitur írá commótus arcum suum intendit et sólem sagittís petiit.
+Sól tamen audáciam virí tantum admírátus est ut lintrem auream eí

+quó in locó bovés essent, in eam partem statim profectus est et á rége
+Géryone postulávit ut bovés sibi tráderentur. Cum tamen ille hóc facere

+

+
+Tum Herculés bovés per Hispániam et Liguriam compellere cónstituit;
+postquam igitur omnia paráta sunt, bovés ex ínsulá ad continentem
+tránsportávit. Ligurés autem, géns bellicósissima, dum ille per fínís
+eórum iter facit, mágnás cópiás coégérunt atque eum longius prógredí
+prohibébant. Herculés mágnam difficultátem habébat, barbarí enim in locís

+mágnum numerum Ligurum occíderint; ipse tamen Herculés (ut in tálibus

+
+41. _THE PASSAGE OF THE ALPS_
+
+Postquam Ligurés hóc modó superátí sunt, Herculés quam celerrimé

+
+42. _CACUS STEALS THE OXEN_
+
+Breví tempore ad flúmen Tiberim vénit. Tum tamen núlla erat urbs in eó
+locó, Róma enim nóndum condita erat. Herculés itinere fessus cónstituit
+ibi paucós diés morárí, ut sé ex labóribus recreáret. Haud procul á valle
+ubi bovés páscébantur spélunca erat, in quá Cácus, horribile mónstrum,
+tum habitábat. Híc speciem terribilem praebébat, nón modo quod ingentí

+dé adventú Herculis fámam accéperat; noctú igitur vénit, et dum Herculés
+dormit, quattuor pulcherrimórum boum abripuit. Hós caudís in spéluncam

+

+
+Posteró dié simul atque é somnó excitátus est, Herculés fúrtum

+

+
+Herculés cum núllum alium introitum reperíre posset, hóc saxum ámovére

+
+45. _ELEVENTH LABOR: THE GOLDEN APPLES OF THE HESPERIDES_
+
+Eurystheus postquam bovés Géryonis accépit, labórem úndecimum Herculí
+imposuit, graviórem quam quós suprá nárrávimus. Mandávit enim eí ut aurea
+póma ex hortó Hesperidum auferret. Hesperidés autem nymphae erant quaedam

+erat summae difficultátis, nón modo ob causás quás memorávimus, sed etiam
+quod Herculés omnínó ígnórábat quó in locó hortus ille situs esset.
+
+
+46. _HERCULES ASKS AID OF ATLAS_
+
+Herculés quamquam quiétem vehementer cupiébat, tamen Eurystheó párére

+multís mercátóribus quaesíverat quó in locó Hesperidés habitárent, nihil

+multa perícula subiit; tandem, cum in hís itineribus tótum annum
+cónsúmpsisset, ad extrémam partem orbis terrárum, quae proxima est
+Óceanó, pervénit. Híc stábat vir quídam, nomine Atlás, ingentí
+mágnitúdine corporis, quí caelum (ita tráditum est) umerís suís sustinébat,
+né in terram décideret. Herculés tantás vírís mágnopere mírátus statim in

+ab eó petiit.
+
+47. _HERCULES BEARS UP THE HEAVENS_
+
+Atlás autem Herculí máximé pródesse potuit; ille enim cum ipse esset
+pater Hesperidum, certó scívit quó in locó esset hortus. Postquam igitur
+audívit quam ob causam Herculés vénisset, "Ipse," inquit, "ad hortum íbó
+et fíliábus meís persuádébó ut póma suá sponte trádant." Herculés cum
+haec audíret, mágnopere gávísus est; vim enim adhibére nóluit, sí rés
+aliter fierí posset. Cónstituit igitur oblátum auxilium accipere. Atlás
+tamen postulávit ut, dum ipse abesset, Herculés caelum umerís sustinéret.
+Hóc autem negótium Herculés libenter suscépit, et quamquam rés erat summí
+labóris, tótum pondus caelí continuós complúrís diés sólus sustinébat.
+
+48. _THE RETURN OF ATLAS_
+
+Atlás intereá abierat et ad hortum Hesperidum, quí pauca mília passuum
+aberat, sé quam celerrimé contulerat. Eó cum vénisset, causam veniendí
+exposuit et fíliás suás vehementer hortátus est ut póma tráderent. Illae
+diú haerébant; nólébant enim hóc facere, quod ab ipsá Iúnóne (ita ut ante
+dictum est) hóc múnus accépissent. Atlás tamen aliquandó iís persuásit ut

+

+
+Postquam aurea póma ad Eurystheum reláta sunt, únus modo relinquébátur é
+duodecim labóribus quós Pýthia Herculí praecéperat. Eurystheus autem cum
+Herculem mágnopere timéret, eum in aliquem locum mittere volébat unde
+numquam redíre posset. Negótium igitur eí dedit ut canem Cerberum ex Orcó
+in lúcem traheret. Hóc opus omnium difficillimum erat, némó enim umquam
+ex Orcó redierat. Praetereá Cerberus iste mónstrum erat horribilí specié,
+cui tria erant capita serpentibus saevís cincta. Antequam tamen dé hóc

+
+Dé Orcó, quí ídem Hádés appellábátur, haec tráduntur. Ut quisque dé vítá
+décesserat, mánés éius ad Orcum, sédem mortuórum, á deó Mercurió
+dédúcébantur. Húius regiónis, quae sub terrá fuisse dícitur, réx erat
+Plútó, cui uxor erat Próserpina, Iovis et Cereris fília. Mánés igitur á
+Mercurió déductí prímum ad rípam veniébant Stygis flúminis, quó régnum
+Plútónis continétur. Hóc tránsíre necesse erat antequam in Orcum veníre
+possent. Cum tamen in hóc flúmine núllus póns factus esset, mánés
+tránsvehébantur á Charonte quódam, quí cum parvá scaphá ad rípam
+exspectábat. Charón pró hóc offició mercédem postulábat, neque quemquam,

+
+51. _THE REALM OF PLUTO_
+
+Ut autem mánés Stygem hóc modó tránsierant, ad alterum veniébant flúmen,
+quod Léthé appellábátur. Ex hóc flúmine aquam bibere cógébantur; quod cum
+fécissent, rés omnís in vítá gestás é memoriá dépónébant. Dénique ad
+sédem ipsíus Plútónis veniébant, cúius introitus á cane Cerberó
+custódiébátur. Ibi Plútó nigró vestítú indútus cum uxóre Próserpiná in
+solió sedébat. Stábant etiam nón procul ab eó locó tria alia solia, in
+quibus sedébant Mínós, Rhadamanthus, Aeacusque, iúdicés apud ínferós. Hí
+mortuís iús dícébant et praemia poenásque cónstituébant. Boní enim in
+Campós Élysiós, sédem beátórum, veniébant; improbí autem in Tartarum
+mittébantur ac multís et variís suppliciís ibi excruciábantur.
+
+52. _HERCULES CROSSES THE STYX_
+
+Herculés postquam imperia Eurystheí accépit, in Lacóniam ad Taenarum
+statim sé contulit; ibi enim spélunca erat ingentí mágnitúdine, per quam,
+ut trádébátur, hominés ad Orcum déscendébant. Eó cum vénisset, ex incolís
+quaesívit quó in locó spélunca illa sita esset; quod cum cógnóvisset,
+sine morá déscendere cónstituit. Nec tamen sólus hóc iter faciébat,
+Mercurius enim et Minerva sé eí sociós adiúnxerant. Ubi ad rípam Stygis
+vénit, Herculés scapham Charontis cónscendit, ut ad últeriórem rípam
+tránsíret. Cum tamen Herculés vir esset ingentí mágnitúdine corporis,
+Charón solvere nólébat; mágnopere enim verébátur né scapha sua tantó
+pondere oneráta in medió flúmine mergerétur. Tandem tamen minís Herculis
+territus Charón scapham solvit, et eum incolumem ad últeriórem rípam
+perdúxit.
+
+53. _THE LAST LABOR IS ACCOMPLISHED_
+
+Postquam flúmen Stygem hóc modó tránsiit, Herculés in sédem ipsíus
+Plútónis vénit; et postquam causam veniendí docuit, ab eó petívit ut
+Cerberum auferre sibi licéret. Plútó, quí dé Hercule fámam accéperat, eum
+benígné excépit, et facultátem quam ille petébat libenter dedit.
+Postulávit tamen ut Herculés ipse, cum imperáta Eurystheí fécisset,
+Cerberum in Orcum rúrsus redúceret. Herculés hóc pollicitus est, et
+Cerberum, quem nón sine mágnó perículó manibus prehenderat, summó cum
+labóre ex Orcó in lúcem et ad urbem Eurystheí tráxit. Eó cum vénisset,
+tantus timor animum Eurystheí occupávit ut ex átrió statim refúgerit; cum
+autem paulum sé ex timóre recépisset, multís cum lacrimís obsecrávit
+Herculem ut mónstrum sine morá in Orcum redúceret. Síc contrá omnium
+opíniónem duodecim illí labórés quós Pýthia praecéperat intrá duodecim
+annós cónfectí sunt; quae cum ita essent, Herculés servitúte tandem
+líberátus mágnó cum gaudió Thébás rediit.
+
+54. _THE CENTAUR NESSUS_
+
+Posteá Herculés multa alia praeclára perfécit, quae nunc perscríbere
+longum est. Tandem iam aetáte próvectus Déianíram, Oeneí fíliam, in
+mátrimónium dúxit; post tamen trís annós accidit ut puerum quendam, cui
+nómen erat Eunomus, cású occíderit. Cum autem mós esset ut sí quis
+hominem cású occídisset, in exsilium íret, Herculés cum uxóre suá é
+fínibus éius cívitátis exíre mátúrávit. Dum tamen iter faciunt, ad flúmen
+quoddam pervénérunt in quó núllus póns erat; et dum quaerunt quónam modó
+flúmen tránseant, accurrit centaurus Nessus, quí viátóribus auxilium
+obtulit. Herculés igitur uxórem suam in tergum Nessí imposuit; tum ipse
+flúmen tránávit. Nessus autem paulum in aquam prógressus ad rípam subitó
+revertébátur et Déianíram auferre cónábátur. Quod cum animadvertisset
+Herculés, írá graviter commótus arcum intendit et pectus Nessí sagittá
+tránsfíxit.
+
+55. _THE POISONED ROBE_
+
+Nessus igitur sagittá Herculis tránsfíxus moriéns humí iacébat; at né
+occásiónem suí ulcíscendí dímitteret, ita locútus est: "Tú, Déianíra,
+verba morientis audí. Sí amórem marítí tuí cónserváre vís, hunc sanguinem
+quí nunc é pectore meó effunditur súme ac repóne; tum, sí umquam in
+suspíciónem tibi vénerit, vestem marítí hóc sanguine ínficiés." Haec
+locútus Nessus animam efflávit; Déianíra autem nihil malí suspicáta
+imperáta fécit. Pauló post Herculés bellum contrá Eurytum, régem
+Oechaliae, suscépit; et cum régem ipsum cum fíliís interfécisset, Iolén
+éius fíliam captívam sécum redúxit. Antequam tamen domum vénit, návem ad
+Cénaeum prómunturium appulit, et in terram égressus áram cónstituit, ut
+Ioví sacrificáret. Dum tamen sacrificium parat, Licham comitem suum domum
+mísit, quí vestem albam referret; mós enim erat apud antíquós, dum
+sacrificia facerent, albam vestem gerere. At Déianíra verita né Herculés
+amórem ergá Iolén habéret, vestem priusquam Lichae dedit, sanguine Nessí
+ínfécit.
+

+
+Herculés nihil malí suspicáns vestem quam Lichás attulerat statim induit;

+THE ARGONAUTS
+
+
+_The celebrated voyage of the Argonauts was brought about in this way.
+Pelias had expelled his brother Aeson from his kingdom in Thessaly, and
+had determined to take the life of Jason, the son of Aeson. Jason,
+however, escaped and grew up to manhood in another country. At last he
+returned to Thessaly; and Pelias, fearing that he might attempt to
+recover the kingdom, sent him to fetch the Golden Fleece from Colchis,
+supposing this to be an impossible feat. Jason with a band of heroes set
+sail in the ship Argo (called after Argus, its builder), and after many
+adventures reached Colchis. Here Aeétes, king of Colchis, who was
+unwilling to give up the Fleece, set Jason to perform what seemed an
+impossible task, namely to plough a field with certain fire-breathing
+oxen, and then to sow it with dragon's teeth. Medéa, however, the
+daughter of the king, assisted Jason by her skill in magic, first to
+perform the task appointed, and then to procure the Fleece. She then fled
+with Jason, and to delay the pursuit of her father, sacrificed her
+brother Absyrtus. After reaching Thessaly, Medéa caused the death of
+Pelias and was expelled from the country with her husband. They removed
+to Corinth, and here Medéa becoming jealous of Glauce, daughter of Creon,
+caused her death by means of a poisoned robe. She was afterward carried
+off in a chariot sent by the sun-god, and a little later Jason was
+accidentally killed_.
+
+
+57. _THE WICKED UNCLE_
+
+Erant ólim in Thessaliá duo frátrés, quórum alter Aesón, Peliás alter
+appellábátur. Aesón prímó régnum obtinuerat; at post paucós annós Peliás
+régní cupiditáte adductus nón modo frátrem suum expulit, sed etiam in
+animó habébat Iásonem, Aesonis fílium, interficere. Quídam tamen ex
+amícís Aesonis, ubi sententiam Peliae cógnóvérunt, puerum é tantó
+perículó éripere cónstituérunt. Noctú igitur Iásonem ex urbe abstulérunt,
+et cum posteró dié ad régem rediissent, eí renúntiávérunt puerum mortuum
+esse. Peliás cum hóc audívisset, etsí ré vérá mágnum gaudium percipiébat,
+speciem tamen dolóris praebuit et quae causa esset mortis quaesívit. Illí
+autem cum bene intellegerent dolórem éius falsum esse, nesció quam
+fábulam dé morte puerí finxérunt.
+
+58. _A FATEFUL ACCIDENT_
+
+Post breve tempus Peliás, veritus né régnum suum tantá ví et fraude
+occupátum ámitteret, amícum quendam Delphós mísit, quí óráculum
+cónsuleret. Ille igitur quam celerrimé Delphós sé contulit et quam ob
+causam vénisset démónstrávit. Respondit óráculum núllum esse in
+praesentiá perículum; monuit tamen Peliam ut sí quis únum calceum geréns
+veníret, eum cavéret. Post paucís annís accidit ut Peliás mágnum
+sacrificium factúrus esset; núntiós in omnís partís dímíserat et certam
+diem conveniendí díxerat. Dié cónstitútá mágnus hominum numerus undique
+ex agrís convénit; in hís autem vénit etiam Iásón, quí á pueritiá apud
+centaurum quendam habitáverat. Dum tamen iter facit, únum é calceís in
+tránseundó nesció quó flúmine ámísit.
+
+59. _THE GOLDEN FLEECE_
+
+Iásón igitur cum calceum ámissum núlló modó recipere posset, únó pede
+núdó in régiam pervénit. Quem cum Peliás vídisset, subitó timóre adfectus
+est; intelléxit enim hunc esse hominem quem óráculum démónstrávisset. Hóc
+igitur cónsilium iniit. Réx erat quídam Aeétés, quí régnum Colchidis illó
+tempore obtinébat. Huic commissum erat vellus illud aureum quod Phrixus
+ólim ibi relíquerat. Cónstituit igitur Peliás Iásoní negótium dare ut hóc
+vellere potírétur; cum enim rés esset mágní perículí, eum in itinere
+peritúrum esse spérábat. Iásonem igitur ad sé arcessívit, et eum
+cohortátus quid fierí vellet docuit. Ille etsí intellegébat rem esse
+difficillimam, negótium libenter suscépit.
+
+60. _THE BUILDING OF THE GOOD SHIP ARGO_
+
+Cum tamen Colchis multórum diérum iter ab eó locó abesset, sólus Iásón

+omnia quae sunt úsuí ad armandás návís comportárí iussit, negótium dedit
+Argó cuidam, quí summam scientiam nauticárum rérum habébat, ut návem
+aedificáret. In hís rébus circiter decem diés cónsúmptí sunt; Argus enim,
+quí operí praeerat, tantam díligentiam adhibébat ut né nocturnum quidem

+
+Haud multó post Argonautae (ita enim appellábantur quí in istá náví

+
+Postrídié éius diéí Iásón tempestátem satis idóneam esse arbitrátus

+Post haec Argonautae ad Thráciam cursum tenuérunt, et postquam ad oppidum
+Salmydéssum návem appulérunt, in terram égressí sunt. Ibi cum ab incolís
+quaesíssent quis régnum éius regiónis obtinéret, certiórés factí sunt
+Phíneum quendam tum régem esse. Cógnóvérunt etiam hunc caecum esse et
+díró quódam supplició adficí, quod ólim sé crúdélissimum in fíliós suós
+praebuisset. Cúius supplicí hóc erat genus. Missa erant á Iove mónstra
+quaedam specié horribilí, quae capita virginum, corpora volucrum
+habébant. Hae volucrés, quae Harpýiae appellábantur, Phíneó summam
+molestiam adferébant; quotiéns enim ille accubuerat, veniébant et cibum
+appositum statim auferébant. Quó factum est ut haud multum abesset quín
+Phíneus famé morerétur.
+
+65. _THE DELIVERANCE OF PHINEUS_
+
+Rés igitur male sé habébat cum Argonautae návem appulérunt. Phíneus autem
+simul atque audívit eós in suós fínís égressós esse, mágnopere gávísus
+est. Sciébat enim quantam opíniónem virtútis Argonautae habérent, nec
+dubitábat quín sibi auxilium ferrent. Núntium igitur ad návem mísit, quí
+Iásonem sociósque ad régiam vocáret. Eó cum vénissent, Phíneus
+démónstrávit quantó in perículó suae rés essent, et prómísit sé mágna
+praemia datúrum esse, sí illí remedium repperissent. Argonautae negótium
+libenter suscépérunt, et ubi hóra vénit, cum rége accubuérunt; at simul
+ac céna apposita est, Harpýiae cénáculum intrávérunt et cibum auferre
+cónábantur. Argonautae prímum gladiís volucrés petiérunt; cum tamen
+vidérent hóc nihil pródesse, Zétés et Calais, quí álís erant ínstrúctí,
+in áera sé sublevávérunt, ut désuper impetum facerent. Quod cum
+sénsissent Harpýiae, reí novitáte perterritae statim aufúgérunt, neque
+posteá umquam rediérunt.
+
+66. _THE SYMPLEGADES_
+
+Hóc factó Phíneus, ut pró tantó benefició meritam grátiam referret,
+Iásoní démónstrávit quá ratióne Symplégadés vítáre posset. Symplégadés
+autem duae erant rúpés ingentí mágnitúdine, quae á Iove positae erant eó
+cónsilió, né quis ad Colchida perveníret. Hae parvó interválló in marí
+natábant, et sí quid in medium spatium vénerat, incrédibilí celeritáte
+concurrébant. Postquam igitur á Phíneó doctus est quid faciendum esset,
+Iásón sublátís ancorís návem solvit, et léní ventó próvectus mox ad
+Symplégadés appropinquávit. Tum in prórá stáns columbam quam in manú
+tenébat émísit. Illa réctá viá per medium spatium volávit, et priusquam
+rúpés cónflíxérunt, incolumis évásit caudá tantum ámissá. Tum rúpés
+utrimque discessérunt; antequam tamen rúrsus concurrerent, Argonautae,
+bene intellegentés omnem spem salútis in celeritáte positam esse, summá
+ví rémís contendérunt et návem incolumem perdúxérunt. Hóc factó dís
+grátiás máximás égérunt, quórum auxilió é tantó perículó éreptí essent;
+omnés enim sciébant nón sine auxilió deórum rem tam félíciter événisse.
+
+67. _A HEAVY TASK_
+
+Breví intermissó spatió Argonautae ad flúmen Phásim vénérunt, quod in
+fínibus Colchórum erat. Ibi cum návem appulissent et in terram égressí
+essent, statim ad régem Aeétem sé contulérunt et ab eó postulávérunt ut
+vellus aureum sibi tráderétur. Ille cum audívisset quam ob causam
+Argonautae vénissent, írá commótus est et diú negábat sé vellus
+tráditúrum esse. Tandem tamen, quod sciébat Iásonem nón sine auxilió
+deórum hóc negótium suscépisse, mútátá sententiá prómísit sé vellus
+tráditúrum, sí Iásón labórés duós difficillimós prius perfécisset; et cum
+Iásón díxisset sé ad omnia perícula subeunda parátum esse, quid fierí
+vellet ostendit. Prímum iungendí erant duo taurí specié horribilí, quí
+flammás ex óre édébant; tum hís iúnctís ager quídam arandus erat et
+dentés dracónis serendí. Hís audítís Iásón etsí rem esse summí perículí
+intellegébat, tamen, né hanc occásiónem reí bene gerendae ámitteret,
+negótium suscépit.
+
+68. _THE MAGIC OINTMENT_
+
+Médéa, régis fília, Iásonem adamávit, et ubi audívit eum tantum perículum
+subitúrum esse, rem aegré ferébat. Intellegébat enim patrem suum hunc
+labórem próposuisse eó ipsó cónsilió, ut Iásón morerétur. Quae cum ita
+essent, Médéa, quae summam scientiam medicínae habébat, hóc cónsilium
+iniit. Mediá nocte ínsciente patre ex urbe évásit, et postquam in montís
+fínitimós vénit, herbás quásdam carpsit; tum súcó expressó unguentum
+parávit quod ví suá corpus aleret nervósque cónfírmáret. Hóc factó Iásoní
+unguentum dedit; praecépit autem ut eó dié quó istí labórés cónficiendí
+essent corpus suum et arma máne oblineret. Iásón etsí paene omnibus
+hominibus mágnitúdine et víribus corporis antecellébat (víta enim omnis
+in vénátiónibus atque in studió reí mílitáris cónsúmébátur), tamen hóc
+cónsilium nón neglegendum esse cénsébat.
+
+69. _THE SOWING OF THE DRAGON'S TEETH_
+
+Ubi is diés vénit quem réx ad arandum agrum édíxerat, Iásón ortá lúce cum
+sociís ad locum cónstitútum sé contulit. Ibi stabulum ingéns repperit, in
+quó taurí erant inclúsí; tum portís apertís taurós in lúcem tráxit, et
+summá cum difficultáte iugum imposuit. At Aeétés cum vidéret taurós nihil
+contrá Iásonem valére, mágnopere mírátus est; nesciébat enim fíliam suam
+auxilium eí dedisse. Tum Iásón omnibus aspicientibus agrum aráre coepit,
+quá in ré tantam díligentiam praebuit ut ante merídiem tótum opus
+cónfécerit. Hóc factó ad locum ubi réx sedébat adiit et dentís dracónis
+postulávit; quós ubi accépit, in agrum quem aráverat mágná cum díligentiá
+sparsit. Hórum autem dentium nátúra erat tális ut in eó locó ubi sémentés
+factae essent virí armátí míró quódam modó gígnerentur.
+
+70. _A STRANGE CROP_
+
+Nóndum tamen Iásón tótum opus cónfécerat; imperáverat enim eí Aeétés ut
+armátós virós quí é dentibus gígnerentur sólus interficeret. Postquam
+igitur omnís dentís in agrum sparsit, Iásón lassitúdine exanimátus quiétí
+sé trádidit, dum virí istí gígnerentur. Paucás hórás dormiébat, sub
+vesperum tamen é somnó subitó excitátus rem ita événisse ut praedictum
+esset cógnóvit; nam in omnibus agrí partibus virí ingentí mágnitúdine
+corporis gladiís galeísque armátí mírum in modum é terrá oriébantur. Hóc
+cógnitó Iásón cónsilium quod dedisset Médéa nón omittendum esse putábat.
+Saxum igitur ingéns (ita enim Médéa praecéperat) in mediós virós
+coniécit. Illí undique ad locum concurrérunt, et cum quisque sibi id
+saxum nesció cúr habére vellet, mágna contróversia orta est. Mox strictís
+gladiís inter sé púgnáre coepérunt, et cum hóc modó plúrimí occísí
+essent, reliquí vulneribus cónfectí á Iásone núlló negótió interfectí
+sunt.
+
+71. _THE FLIGHT OF MEDEA_
+
+Réx Aeétés ubi Iásonem labórem própositum cónfécisse cógnóvit, írá
+graviter commótus est; id enim per dolum factum esse intellegébat; nec
+dubitábat quín Médéa eí auxilium tulisset. Médéa autem cum intellegeret
+sé in mágnó fore perículó sí in régiá manéret, fugá salútem petere
+cónstituit. Omnibus rébus igitur ad fugam parátís mediá nocte ínsciente
+patre cum frátre Absyrtó évásit, et quam celerrimé ad locum ubi Argó
+subducta erat sé contulit. Eó cum vénisset, ad pedés Iásonis sé próiécit,
+et multís cum lacrimís eum obsecrávit né in tantó discrímine mulierem
+désereret quae eí tantum prófuisset. Ille quod memoriá tenébat sé per
+éius auxilium é mágnó perículó évásisse, libenter eam excépit, et
+postquam causam veniendí audívit, hortátus est né patris íram timéret.
+Prómísit autem sé quam prímum eam in náví suá ávectúrum.
+
+72. _THE SEIZURE OF THE FLEECE_
+
+Postrídié éius diéí Iásón cum sociís suís ortá lúce návem dédúxit, et
+tempestátem idóneam nactí ad eum locum rémís contendérunt, quó in locó
+Médéa vellus célátum esse démónstrábat. Cum eó vénissent, Iásón in terram
+égressus est, et sociís ad mare relictís, quí praesidió náví essent, ipse
+cum Médéá in silvás sé contulit. Pauca mília passuum per silvam
+prógressus vellus quod quaerébat ex arbore suspénsum vídit. Id tamen
+auferre erat summae difficultátis; nón modo enim locus ipse égregié et
+nátúrá et arte erat múnítus, sed etiam dracó quídam specié terribilí
+arborem custódiébat. Tum Médéa, quae, ut suprá démónstrávimus, medicínae
+summam scientiam habuit, rámum quem dé arbore proximá déripuerat venénó
+ínfécit. Hóc factó ad locum appropinquávit, et dracónem, quí faucibus
+apertís éius adventum exspectábat, venénó sparsit; deinde, dum dracó
+somnó oppressus dormit, Iásón vellus aureum dé arbore déripuit et cum
+Médéá quam celerrimé pedem rettulit.
+
+73. _THE RETURN TO THE ARGO_
+
+Dum autem ea geruntur, Argonautae, quí ad mare relictí erant, ánxió animó
+reditum Iásonis exspectábant; id enim negótium summí esse perículí
+intellegébant. Postquam igitur ad occásum sólis frústrá exspectávérunt,
+dé éius salúte déspéráre coepérunt, nec dubitábant quín aliquí cásus
+accidisset. Quae cum ita essent, mátúrandum sibi cénsuérunt, ut ducí
+auxilium ferrent; sed dum proficíscí parant, lúmen quoddam subitó
+cónspiciunt mírum in modum intrá silvás refulgéns, et mágnopere mírátí
+quae causa esset éius reí ad locum concurrunt. Quó cum vénissent, Iásoní
+et Médéae advenientibus occurrérunt, et vellus aureum lúminis éius causam
+esse cógnóvérunt. Omní timóre sublátó mágnó cum gaudió ducem suum
+excépérunt, et dís grátiás máximás égérunt quod rés tam félíciter

+
+74. _THE PURSUIT_
+
+Hís rébus gestís omnés sine morá návem rúrsus cónscendérunt, et sublátís
+ancorís prímá vigiliá solvérunt; neque enim satis tútum esse arbitrátí
+sunt in eó locó manére. At réx Aeétés, quí iam ante inimícó in eós fuerat
+animó, ubi cógnóvit fíliam suam nón modo ad Argonautás sé recépisse sed
+etiam ad vellus auferendum auxilium tulisse, hóc dolóre gravius exársit.
+Návem longam quam celerrimé dédúcí iussit, et mílitibus impositís
+fugientís ínsecútus est. Argonautae, quí rem in discrímine esse bene
+sciébant, omnibus víribus rémís contendébant; cum tamen návis quá
+vehébantur ingentí esset mágnitúdine, nón eádem celeritáte quá Colchí
+prógredí poterant. Quó factum est ut minimum abesset quín á Colchís
+sequentibus caperentur, neque enim longius intererat quam quó télum adicí
+posset. At Médéa cum vídisset quó in locó rés essent, paene omní spé
+dépositá ínfandum hóc cónsilium cépit.
+
+75. _A FEARFUL EXPEDIENT_
+
+Erat in náví Argonautárum fílius quídam régis Aeétae, nómine Absyrtus,
+quem, ut suprá démónstrávimus, Médéa ex urbe fugiéns sécum abdúxerat.
+Hunc puerum Médéa interficere cónstituit eó cónsilió, ut membrís éius in
+mare coniectís cursum Colchórum impedíret; certó enim sciébat Aeétem, cum
+membra fílí vídisset, nón longius prósecútúrum esse. Neque opínió Médéam
+fefellit, omnia enim ita événérunt ut spéráverat. Aeétés ubi prímum
+membra vídit, ad ea conligenda návem tenérí iussit. Dum tamen ea
+geruntur, Argonautae nón intermissó rémigandí labóre mox é cónspectú
+hostium auferébantur, neque prius fugere déstitérunt quam ad flúmen
+Éridanum pervénérunt. Aeétés nihil sibi prófutúrum esse arbitrátus sí
+longius prógressus esset, animó démissó domum revertit, ut fílí corpus ad
+sepultúram daret.
+
+76. _THE BARGAIN WITH PELIAS_
+
+Tandem post multa perícula Iásón in eundem locum pervénit unde profectus
+erat. Tum é náví égressus ad régem Peliam, quí régnum adhúc obtinébat,
+statim sé contulit, et vellere aureó mónstrátó ab eó postulávit ut régnum
+sibi tráderétur; Peliás enim pollicitus erat, sí Iásón vellus
+rettulisset, sé régnum eí tráditúrum. Postquam Iásón quid fierí vellet
+ostendit, Peliás prímó nihil respondit, sed diú in eádem trístitiá
+tacitus permánsit; tandem ita locútus est: "Vidés mé aetáte iam esse
+cónfectum, neque dubium est quín diés suprémus mihi appropinquet. Liceat
+igitur mihi, dum vívam, hóc régnum obtinére; cum autem tandem décesseró,
+tú mihi succédés." Hác órátióne adductus Iásón respondit sé id factúrum
+quod ille rogásset.
+
+77. _MAGIC ARTS_
+
+Hís rébus cógnitís Médéa rem aegré tulit, et régní cupiditáte adducta
+mortem régí per dolum ínferre cónstituit. Hóc cónstitútó ad fíliás régis
+vénit atque ita locúta est: "Vidétis patrem vestrum aetáte iam esse
+cónfectum neque ad labórem régnandí perferendum satis valére. Vultisne
+eum rúrsus iuvenem fierí?" Tum fíliae régis ita respondérunt: "Num hóc
+fierí potest? Quis enim umquam é sene iuvenis factus est?" At Médéa
+respondit: "Mé medicínae summam habére scientiam scítis. Nunc igitur
+vóbis démónstrábó quó modó haec rés fierí possit." Postquam fínem
+loquendí fécit, arietem aetáte iam cónfectum interfécit et membra éius in
+váse aéneó posuit, atque ígní suppositó in aquam herbás quásdam infúdit.
+Tum, dum aqua effervésceret, carmen magicum cantábat. Mox ariés é váse
+exsiluit et víribus refectís per agrós currébat.
+
+78. _A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT_
+
+Dum fíliae régis hóc míráculum stupentés intuentur, Médéa ita locúta est:
+"Vidétis quantum valeat medicína. Vós igitur, sí vultis patrem vestrum in
+aduléscentiam redúcere, id quod fécí ipsae faciétis. Vós patris membra in
+vás conicite; ego herbás magicás praebébó." Quod ubi audítum est, fíliae
+régis cónsilium quod dedisset Médéa nón omittendum putávérunt. Patrem
+igitur Peliam necávérunt et membra éius in vás aéneum coniécérunt; nihil
+autem dubitábant quín hóc máximé eí prófutúrum esset. At rés omnínó
+aliter événit ac spéráverant, Médéa enim nón eásdem herbás dedit quibus
+ipsa úsa erat. Itaque postquam diú frústrá exspectávérunt, patrem suum ré

+Peliás periisset, tantum scelus aegré tulérunt. Itaque Iásone et Médéá é

+
+79. _A FATAL GIFT_
+
+Iásón et Médéa é Thessaliá expulsí ad urbem Corinthum vénérunt, cúius

+

+
+Vix vestem induerat Glaucé cum dolórem gravem per omnia membra sénsit, et

+ULYSSES
+
+
+_Ulysses, a famous Greek hero, took a prominent part in the long siege of
+Troy. After the fall of the city, he set out with his followers on his
+homeward voyage to Ithaca, an island of which he was king; but being
+driven out of his course by northerly winds, he was compelled to touch at
+the country of the Lotus-eaters, who are supposed to have lived on the
+north coast of Africa. Some of his comrades were so delighted with the
+lotus fruit that they wished to remain in the country, but Ulysses
+compelled them to embark again and continued his voyage. He next came to
+the island of Sicily, and fell into the hands of the giant Polyphémus,
+one of the Cyclópes. After several of his comrades had been killed by
+this monster, Ulysses made his escape by stratagem and reached the
+country of the winds. Here he received the help of Aeolus, king of the
+winds, and having set sail again, arrived within sight of Ithaca; but
+owing to the folly of his companions, the winds became suddenly adverse
+and he was again driven back. He then touched at an island which was the
+home of Circe, a powerful enchantress, who exercised her charms on his
+companions and turned them into swine. By the help of the god Mercury,
+Ulysses not only escaped this fate himself, but also forced Circe to
+restore her victims to human shape. After staying a year with Circe, he
+again set out and eventually reached his home_.

+intellegeret, respondit návem suam in rúpís coniectam omnínó fráctam
+esse. Polyphémus autem núlló respónsó dató duo é sociís manú corripuit,
+et membrís eórum dívulsís carnem dévoráre coepit.
+
+86. _A DESPERATE SITUATION_
+
+Dum haec geruntur, Graecórum animós tantus terror occupávit ut né vócem
+quidem édere possent, sed omní spé salútis dépositá mortem praesentem
+exspectárent. Polyphémus, postquam famés hác tam horribilí céná dépulsa
+est, humí próstrátus somnó sé dedit. Quod cum vídisset Ulixés, tantam
+occásiónem reí gerendae nón omittendam arbitrátus, in eó erat ut pectus
+mónstrí gladió tránsfígeret. Cum tamen nihil temeré agendum exístimáret,
+cónstituit explóráre, antequam hóc faceret, quá ratióne ex spéluncá
+évádere possent. At cum saxum animadvertisset quó introitus obstrúctus
+erat, nihil sibi prófutúrum intelléxit sí Polyphémum interfécisset. Tanta
+enim erat éius saxí mágnitúdó ut né á decem quidem hominibus ámovérí
+posset. Quae cum ita essent, Ulixés hóc cónátú déstitit et ad sociós
+rediit; quí cum intelléxissent quó in locó rés essent, núllá spé salútis
+oblátá dé fortúnís suís déspéráre coepérunt. Ille tamen né animós
+démitterent vehementer hortátus est; démónstrávit sé iam anteá é multís
+et mágnís perículís évásisse, neque dubium esse quín in tantó discrímine
+dí auxilium látúrí essent.
+
+87. _A PLAN FOR VENGEANCE_
+
+Ortá lúce Polyphémus iam é somnó excitátus idem quod hesternó dié fécit;
+correptís enim duóbus é reliquís virís carnem eórum sine morá dévorávit.
+Tum, cum saxum ámóvisset, ipse cum pecore suó ex spéluncá prógressus est;
+quod cum Graecí vidérent, mágnam in spem sé post paulum évásúrós
+vénérunt. Mox tamen ab hác spé repulsí sunt; nam Polyphémus, postquam
+omnés ovés exiérunt, saxum in locum restituit. Reliquí omní spé salútis
+dépositá lámentís lacrimísque sé dédidérunt; Ulixés véró, quí, ut suprá
+démónstrávimus, vir mágní fuit cónsilí, etsí intellegébat rem in
+discrímine esse, nóndum omnínó déspérábat. Tandem, postquam diú haec tótó
+animó cógitávit, hóc cónsilium cépit. É lígnís quae in spéluncá reposita
+erant pálum mágnum délégit. Hunc summá cum díligentiá praeacútum fécit;
+tum, postquam sociís quid fierí vellet ostendit, reditum Polyphémí
+exspectábat.
+
+88. _A GLASS TOO MUCH_
+
+Sub vesperum Polyphémus ad spéluncam rediit, et eódem modó quó anteá
+cénávit. Tum Ulixés útrem víní prómpsit, quem forte (id quod eí erat
+salútí) sécum attulerat; et postquam mágnum póculum vínó complévit,
+mónstrum ad bibendum próvocávit. Polyphémus, quí numquam anteá vínum
+gustáverat, tótum póculum statim exhausit; quod cum fécisset, tantam
+voluptátem percépit ut iterum et tertium póculum replérí iusserit. Tum,
+cum quaesívisset quó nómine Ulixés appellárétur, ille respondit sé
+Néminem appellarí; quod cum audívisset, Polyphémus ita locútus est:
+"Hanc, tibi grátiam pró tantó benefició referam; té postrémum omnium
+dévorábó." Hóc cum díxisset, cibó vínóque gravis recubuit et breví
+tempore somnó oppressus est. Tum Ulixés sociís convocátís, "Habémus,"
+inquit, "quam petiimus facultátem; né igitur tantam occásiónem reí
+gerendae omittámus."
+
+89. _THE BLINDING OF POLYPHEMUS_
+
+Hác órátióne habitá, postquam extrémum pálum ígní calefécit, oculum
+Polyphémí dormientis ferventí lígnó perfódit; quó factó omnés in díversás
+spéluncae partís sé abdidérunt. At ille subitó illó dolóre oculí é somnó
+excitátus clámórem terribilem sustulit, et dum per spéluncam errat,
+Ulixem manú prehendere cónábátur; cum tamen iam omnínó caecus esset,
+núlló modó hóc efficere potuit. Intereá reliquí Cyclópés clámóre audító
+undique ad spéluncam convénérunt, et ad introitum adstantés quid
+Polyphémus ageret quaesívérunt, et quam ob causam tantum clámórem
+sustulisset. Ille respondit sé graviter vulnerátum esse et mágnó dolóre
+adficí. Cum tamen posteá quaesívissent quis eí vim intulisset, respondit
+ille Néminem id fécisse; quibus rébus audítís únus é Cyclópibus: "At sí
+némó," inquit, "té vulnerávit, haud dubium est quín cónsilió deórum,
+quibus resistere nec possumus nec volumus, hóc supplició adficiáris." Hóc
+cum díxisset, abiérunt Cyclópés eum in ínsániam incidisse arbitrátí.
+
+90. _THE ESCAPE_
+
+Polyphémus ubi sociós suós abiisse sénsit, furóre atque ámentiá impulsus
+Ulixem iterum quaerere coepit; tandem cum portam invénisset, saxum quó
+obstrúcta erat ámóvit, ut pecus in agrós exíret. Tum ipse in introitú
+cónsédit, et ut quaeque ovis ad hunc locum vénerat, éius tergum manibus
+tráctábat, né virí inter ovís exíre possent. Quod cum animadvertisset
+Ulixés, intelléxit omnem spem salútis in doló magis quam in virtúte póní.
+Itaque hóc cónsilium iniit. Prímum trís quás vidit pinguissimás ex ovibus
+délégit, quás cum inter sé viminibus coniúnxisset, únum ex sociís suís
+ventribus eárum ita subiécit ut omnínó latéret; deinde ovís hominem sécum
+ferentís ad portam égit. Id accidit quod fore suspicátus erat. Polyphémus
+enim postquam terga ovium manibus tráctávit, eás praeteríre passus est.
+Ulixés ubi rem tam félíciter événisse vídit, omnís sociós suós ex órdine
+eódem modó émísit; quó factó ipse novissimus évásit.
+
+91. _OUT OF DANGER_
+
+Iís rébus ita cónfectís, Ulixés veritus né Polyphémus fraudem sentíret,
+cum sociís quam celerrimé ad lítus contendit; quó cum vénissent, ab iís
+quí náví praesidió relictí erant mágná cum laetitiá exceptí sunt. Hí enim
+cum ánxiís animís iam trís diés continuós reditum eórum exspectávissent,
+eós in aliquod perículum mágnum incidisse (id quidem quod erat)
+suspicátí, ipsí auxiliandí causá égredí parábant. Tum Ulixés nón satis
+tútum arbitrátus in eó locó manére, quam celerrimé profisíscí cónstituit.
+Iussit igitur omnís návem cónscendere, et ancorís sublátís paulum á
+lítore in altum próvectus est. Tum mágná vóce exclámávit: "Tú, Polyphéme,
+quí iúra hospití spernis, iústam et débitam poenam immánitátis tuae
+solvistí." Hác vóce audítá Polyphémus írá vehementer commótus ad mare sé
+contulit, et ubi návem paulum á lítore remótam esse intelléxit, saxum
+ingéns manú correptum in eam partem coniécit unde vócem veníre sénsit.
+Graecí autem, etsí nón multum áfuit quín submergerentur, núlló damnó
+acceptó cursum tenuérunt.
+
+92. _THE COUNTRY OF THE WINDS_
+
+Pauca mília passuum ab eó locó prógressus Ulixés ad ínsulam Aeoliam návem
+appulit. Haec patria erat ventórum,
+
+ "Híc vástó réx Aeolus antró
+ luctantís ventós tempestátésque sonórás
+ imperió premit ac vinclís et carcere frénat."
+
+Ibi réx ipse Graecós hospitió excépit, atque iís persuásit ut ad
+recuperandás vírís paucós diés in eá regióne commorárentur. Septimó dié
+cum socií é labóribus sé recépissent, Ulixés, né anní tempore á
+návigátióne exclúderétur, sibi sine morá proficíscendum statuit. Tum
+Aeolus, quí sciébat Ulixem cupidissimum esse patriae videndae, eí iam
+profectúró mágnum saccum é corió cónfectum dedit, in quó ventós omnís
+praeter únum inclúserat. Zephyrum tantum solverat, quod ille ventus ab
+ínsulá Aeoliá ad Ithacam návigantí est secundus. Ulixés hóc dónum
+libenter accépit, et grátiís pró tantó benefició áctís saccum ad málum
+adligávit. Tum omnibus rébus ad profectiónem parátís merídiánó feré
+tempore é portú solvit.
+
+93. _THE WIND-BAG_
+
+Novem diés secundissimó ventó cursum tenuérunt, iamque in cónspectum
+patriae suae vénerant, cum Ulixés lassitúdine cónfectus (ipse enim
+gubernábat) ad quiétem capiendam recubuit. At socií, quí iam dúdum
+mírábantur quid in illó saccó inclúsum esset, cum ducem somnó oppressum
+vidérent, tantam occásiónem nón omittendam arbitrátí sunt; crédébant enim
+aurum et argentum ibi esse céláta. Itaque spé lucrí adductí saccum sine
+morá solvérunt, quó factó ventí
+
+ "velut ágmine factó
+ quá data porta ruunt, et terrás turbine perflant."
+
+Híc tanta tempestás subitó coorta est ut illí cursum tenére nón possent
+sed in eandem partem unde erant profectí referrentur. Ulixés é somnó
+excitátus quó in locó rés esset statim intelléxit; saccum solútum,
+Ithacam post tergum relictam vídit. Tum véró írá vehementer exársit
+sociósque obiúrgábat quod cupiditáte pecúniae adductí spem patriae
+videndae próiécissent.
+
+94. _A DRAWING OF LOTS_
+
+Breví spatió intermissó Graecí ínsulae cuidam appropinquávérunt in quá
+Circé, fília Sólis, habitábat. Quó cum návem appulisset, Ulixés in terram
+frúmentandí causá égrediendum esse statuit; nam cógnóverat frúmentum quod
+in náví habérent iam déficere. Sociís igitur ad sé convocátís quó in locó
+rés esset et quid fierí vellet ostendit. Cum tamen omnés memoriá tenérent
+quam crúdélí morte necátí essent ií quí núper é náví égressí essent, némó
+repertus est quí hóc negótium suscipere vellet. Quae cum ita essent, rés
+ad contróversiam déducta est. Tandem Ulixés cónsénsú omnium sociós in
+duás partís dívísit, quárum alterí Eurylochus, vir summae virtútis,
+alterí ipse praeesse. Tum hí inter sé sortítí sunt uter in terram
+égrederétur. Hóc factó, Eurylochó sorte événit ut cum duóbus et vígintí
+sociís rem susciperet.
+
+95. _THE HOUSE OF THE ENCHANTRESS_
+
+Hís rébus ita cónstitútis ií quí sortítí erant in interiórem partem
+ínsulae profectí sunt. Tantus tamen timor animós eórum occupáverat ut
+nihil dubitárent quín mortí obviam írent. Vix quidem poterant ií quí in
+náví relictí erant lacrimás tenére; crédébant enim sé sociós suós numquam
+post hóc tempus vísúrós. Illí autem aliquantum itineris prógressí ad
+víllam quandam pervénérunt summá mágnificentiá aedificátam, cúius ad
+óstium cum adiissent, cantum dulcissimum audívérunt. Tanta autem fuit
+éius vócis dulcédó ut núlló modó retinérí possent quín iánuam pulsárent.
+Hóc factó ipsa Circé forás exiit, et summá cum benígnitáte omnís in
+hospitium invítávit. Eurylochus ínsidiás sibi comparárí suspicátus forís
+exspectáre cónstituit, sed reliquí reí novitáte adductí intrávérunt.
+Cénam mágnificam omnibus rébus ínstrúctam invénérunt et iússú dominae
+libentissimé accubuérunt. At Circé vínum quod serví apposuérunt
+medicámentó quódam miscuerat; quod cum Graecí bibissent, graví somnó
+subitó oppressí sunt.
+
+96. _THE CHARM_
+
+Tum Circé, quae artis magicae summam scientiam habébat, baculó aureó quod
+gerébat capita eórum tetigit; quó factó omnés in porcós subitó conversí
+sunt. Intereá Eurylochus ígnárus quid in aedibus agerétur ad óstium
+sedébat; postquam tamen ad sólis occásum ánxió animó et sollicitó
+exspectávit, sólus ad návem regredí cónstituit. Eó cum vénisset,
+sollicitúdine ac timóre tam perturbátus fuit ut quae vídisset vix
+dílúcidé nárráre posset. Ulixés autem satis intelléxit sociós suós in
+perículó versárí, et gladió correptó Eurylochó imperávit ut sine morá
+viam ad istam domum démónstráret. Ille tamen multís cum lacrimís Ulixem
+complexus obsecráre coepit né in tantum perículum sé committeret; sí quid
+gravius eí accidisset, omnium salútem in summó discrímine futúram. Ulixés
+autem respondit sé néminem invítum sécum adductúrum; eí licére, sí
+mállet, in náví manére; sé ipsum sine úlló praesidió rem susceptúrum. Hóc
+cum mágná vóce díxisset, é náví désiluit et núlló sequente sólus in viam
+sé dedit.
+
+97. _THE COUNTERCHARM_
+
+Aliquantum itineris prógressus ad víllam mágnificam pervénit, quam cum
+oculís perlústrásset, statim intráre statuit; intelléxit enim hanc esse
+eandem domum dé quá Eurylochus mentiónem fécisset. At cum in eó esset ut
+límen intráret, subitó eí obviam stetit aduléscéns fórmá pulcherrimá
+aureum baculum geréns. Híc Ulixem iam domum intrantem manú corripuit et,
+"Quó ruis?" inquit. "Nónne scís hanc esse Circés domum? Híc inclúsí sunt
+amící tuí ex húmáná specié in porcós conversí. Num vís ipse in eandem
+calamitátem veníre?" Ulixés simul ac vócem audívit, deum Mercurium
+ágnóvit; núllís tamen precibus ab ínstitútó cónsilió déterrérí potuit.
+Quod cum Mercurius sénsisset, herbam quandam eí dedit, quam contrá
+carmina multum valére dícébat. "Hanc cape," inquit, "et ubi Circé té
+baculó tetigerit, tú strictó gladió impetum in eam vidé ut faciás."
+Mercurius postquam fínem loquendí fécit,
+
+ "mortálís vísús medió sermóne relíquit,
+ et procul in tenuem ex oculís évánuit auram."
+
+98. _THE ENCHANTRESS IS FOILED_
+
+Breví intermissó spatió Ulixés ad omnia perícula subeunda parátus iánuam
+pulsávit, et foribus patefactís ab ipsá Circé benígné exceptus est. Omnia
+eódem modó atque anteá facta sunt. Cénam mágnificé ínstrúctam vídit et
+accumbere iússus est. Mox, ubi famés cibó dépulsa est, Circé póculum
+aureum vínó replétum Ulixí dedit. Ille etsí suspicátus est venénum sibi
+parátum esse, póculum exhausit; quó factó Circé postquam caput éius
+baculó tetigit, ea verba locúta est quibus sociós éius anteá in porcós
+converterat. Rés tamen omnínó aliter événit atque illa spéráverat. Tanta
+enim vís erat éius herbae quam Ulixí Mercurius dederat ut neque venénum
+neque verba quicquam efficere possent. Ulixés autem, ut eí praeceptum
+erat, gladió strictó impetum in eam fécit et mortem minitábátur. Circé
+cum artem suam nihil valére sénsisset, multís cum lacrimís eum obsecráre
+coepit né sibi vítam adimeret.
+
+99. _MEN ONCE MORE_
+
+Ulixés autem ubi sénsit eam timóre perterritam esse, postulávit ut sociós
+suós sine morá in húmánam speciem redúceret (certior enim factus erat á
+deó Mercurió eós in porcós conversós esse); nisi id factum esset, sé
+débitás poenás súmptúrum ostendit. Circé hís rébus graviter commóta eí ad
+pedés sé próiécit, et multís cum lacrimís iúre iúrandó cónfírmávit sé
+quae ille imperásset omnia factúram. Tum porcós in átrium immittí iussit.
+Illí dató sígnó inruérunt, et cum ducem suum ágnóvissent, mágnó dolóre
+adfectí sunt quod núlló modó eum dé rébus suís certiórem facere poterant.
+Circé tamen unguentó quódam corpora eórum únxit; quó factó sunt omnés
+statim in húmánam speciem reductí. Mágnó cum gaudió Ulixés suós amícós
+ágnóvit, et núntium ad lítus mísit, quí reliquís Graecís sociós receptós

+
+
+NOTES
+
+
+PERSEUS
+
+_The numbers refer to the page of text and the line on the page
+respectively_.
+
+
+3.6. Danaé. Many proper names in this book are words borrowed by Latin
+from Greek, and have forms not given in the regular Latin declensions. It
+will not be necessary to learn the declension of such words.
+
+7. enim. This word commonly stands second in its clause.
+
+8. turbábat. Notice that this verb and dormiébat below are in the
+imperfect tense to denote a state of things existing at the past time
+indicated by territa est.
+
+autem. This word has the same peculiarity of position as enim; so also
+igitur, which occurs in line 11.
+
+12. Seríphum. Notice that Latin says 'the island Seriphos,' but English
+more often 'the island of Seriphos.'
+
+13. appulsa est. Postquam is regularly followed by the perfect or present
+indicative, but the English translation usually requires the pluperfect.
+
+15. quódam. _Quídam_ means 'certain' as applied to some person or thing
+not fully described, while _certus_ means 'certain' in the sense of
+'determined.' 'sure,'
+
+ad domum. This means 'to the house'; 'to be brought home' would be _domum
+addúcí_, without the preposition.
+
+16. Ille is often used, as here, when the subject is changed to a person
+mentioned in the preceding sentence. In this use it is to be translated
+'he.'
+
+18. benefició. See the derivation of this word in the vocabulary.
+
+20. multós annós. Duration of time is regularly expressed in the
+accusative case.
+
+22. eam. Latin has no pronoun of the third person, and _is_ often takes
+the place of one; it is then to be translated 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' 'they,'
+according to its form.
+
+25. haec. The literal translation would be 'these things,' but we must
+say 'thus' or 'as follows.'
+
+4. 1. es. With iam dúdum and similar expressions of duration, the present
+indicative is often used to denote an action or state begun in the past
+but continuing in the present. The English equivalent is the perfect.
+
+híc, is not the pronoun, but an adverb.
+
+2. mihi. This dative may be translated 'for me.' How would 'to me' with a
+verb of motion be put?
+
+3. refer. _Dícó, dúcó, fació_, and _feró_ have the imperative forms _díc,
+dúc, fac_, and _fer_, instead of _díce_, etc.
+
+4. Perseus. When the subordinate and the principal clause of a Latin
+sentence have the same subject, this usually stands first, followed by
+the subordinate clause.
+
+haec. Here a different rendering is required from that suggested in the
+note on 3, 25. What is it? Notice that it is necessary to know the
+literal significance of the Latin words, but that the translation must
+often be something quite different if it is to be acceptable English. The
+rule for translation is: Discover the exact meaning of the original; then
+express the same idea correctly and, if you can, elegantly in the
+language into which you are translating.
+
+5. continentem. What is the derivation of this word?
+
+vénit. Is this present or perfect? How do you know?
+
+8. Graeás. The Graeae were three old women who had one eye and one
+tooth in common, and took turns in using them.
+
+9. galeam. This belonged to Pluto, the god of the underworld of the dead,
+and whosoever wore it was invisible. The story is that Perseus compelled
+the Graeae to tell him how to obtain the helps to his enterprise by
+seizing their tooth and eye.
+
+11. pedibus, 'on his feet,' dative of indirect object.
+
+induit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+áera. _Áér_ is borrowed from Greek, and keeps this Greek form for its
+accusative.
+
+12. volábat. Distinguish between _voló, voláre_, and _voló, velle_.
+
+13. céterís. _Céterí_ is used to denote all not already named ('the
+other'), while _alií_ denotes some of those who have not been already
+named ('other').
+
+14. specié horribilí, 'of terrible appearance.' ablative of description.
+A noun never stands alone in this construction,
+
+eárum. See the note on 3, 22.
+
+15. contécta. This and factae below are used as predicate adjectives, not
+to form the pluperfect passive with erant. Translate, therefore, 'were
+covered.' not 'had been covered.'
+
+18. vertébantur. The imperfect here denotes customary action, one of its
+regular uses.
+
+19. Ille. See the note on 3, 16.
+
+20. hóc modó, ablative of manner.
+
+21. vénit, dormiébat. The perfect simply expresses an action which took
+place in past time, the imperfect tells of a state of things existing at
+that past time.
+
+25. fugit. When dum means 'while,' 'as,' it is followed by the present
+indicative, even when used of past events.
+
+26. fécit. Like _postquam_, ubi has the present or perfect indicative,
+where English would use the pluperfect.
+
+5. 2. illó tempore, ablative of time.
+
+régnábat. Observe the force of the tense, and try to find the reason for
+each change of tense in this paragraph.
+
+Híc. This must here be translated simply 'he.' Compare the use of Ille,
+3, 16.
+
+4. veniébat. See the note on 4, 18.
+
+6. omnium, 'of all men.' or 'of all.' The adjective is used as a noun, as
+in the second of the English expressions.
+
+óráculum. It was believed in antiquity that the will of the gods and a
+knowledge of future events might be learned at certain shrines, of which
+the most famous were those of Apollo at Delphi, of Zeus or Jupiter at
+Dodona, and of Hammon in Egypt. Hammon was really an Egyptian god,
+represented as having the horns of a ram, but he was identified by the
+Greeks with Zeus and by the Romans with Jupiter.
+
+7. fíliam. Where there is no ambiguity, the possessive is often omitted
+in Latin.
+
+8. autem, often, as here, simply introduces an explanation ('now'),
+
+nómine, 'by name.'
+
+9. Cépheus. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+10. cívís suós, 'his subjects.'
+
+13. certam. See the note on _quódam_, 3, 15. _Diés_ is regularly
+masculine, but when used of an appointed day it is often feminine.
+
+omnia, 'all things,' 'everything,' or 'all.' See the note on _omnium_,
+line 6.
+
+16. déplórábant, tenébant. Be careful to show the meaning of the tense by
+your translation.
+
+18. quaerit. The present is often used of a past action instead of the
+perfect, to bring the action more vividly before us as if it were taking
+place now. This is called the historical present.
+
+19. haec geruntur, 'this is going on.'
+
+20. horribilí. Here the adjective is made emphatic by being put before
+its noun; in 4, 14 the same effect is gained by putting _horribilí_ last
+in its clause.
+
+22. omnibus, dative of indirect object after the compound verb
+_(in+iació)_. Translate 'inspired in all,' but the literal meaning is
+'threw into all.'
+
+26. induit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+áera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+6. 2. suó, éius. Distinguish carefully between these words. _Suus_ is
+used of something belonging to the subject, _éius_ of something belonging
+to some other person or thing just mentioned.
+
+5. volat. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+7. sustulit. Notice that the perfect forms of _tolló_ are the same as
+those of _sufferó (sub + feró)_, 'endure.'
+
+8. neque, here to be translated 'and ... not.' _Neque_ is thus used
+regularly for _et nón_.
+
+13. exanimáta, used here as a predicate adjective.
+
+16. rettulit. 'To give thanks' or 'thank' is usually _grátiás agere_, as
+in 3, 19; _grátiam referre_ means 'to show one's gratitude,' 'to
+recompense' or 'requite.'
+
+18. dúxit. This word came to mean 'marry,' because the bridegroom 'led'
+his bride in a wedding procession to his own home. It will be seen,
+therefore, that it can be used only of the man.
+
+Paucós annós. See the note on 3, 20.
+
+20. omnís. What does the quantity of the _i_ tell you about the form?
+
+7. 1. quod, not the relative pronoun, but a conjunction.
+
+3. eó, the adverb.
+
+in átrium. Although inrúpit means 'burst _into_,' the preposition is
+nevertheless required with the noun to express the place into which he
+burst.
+
+6. ille. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+8. Acrisí. In Nepos, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, the genitive singular of
+second-declension nouns in _-ius_ and _-ium_ ends in _í_, not _ií_; but
+the nominative plural ends in _ií_, and the dative and ablative plural in
+_iís_.
+
+10. istud. Remember that _iste_ is commonly used of something connected
+with the person addressed. Here the meaning may be 'that oracle I told
+you of.' See 3, 4.
+
+12. Lárísam. See the note on 3, 12.
+
+neque enim, 'for ... not,' as if simply _nón enim_, but Latin uses _neque_
+to connect the clauses.
+
+14. in omnís partís, 'in all directions' or 'in every direction.'
+
+15. Multí. See the note on _omnium_, 5, 6.
+
+17. discórum. The discus was a round, flat piece of stone or metal, and
+the athletes tried to see who could throw it farthest.
+
+18. cású. This is one of the ablatives of manner that do not take _cum_.
+
+19. stábat. Notice the tense.
+
+
+HERCULES
+
+9. 2. omnium hominum. This means 'all men' in the sense of 'all mankind.'
+
+3. óderat. _Ódí_ is perfect in form, but present in meaning; and the
+pluperfect has in like manner the force of an imperfect.
+ 5. mediá nocte, 'in the middle of the night,' 'in the dead of night.'
+
+7. Nec tamen, 'not ... however.' See the note on _neque enim,_ 7, 12.
+
+8. movébant. Contrast this tense with appropinquáverant and excitátí
+sunt.
+
+13. Tálí modó = _hóc modó_, 4, 20.
+
+20. á pueró, 'from a boy,' 'from boyhood.'
+
+exercébat, the imperfect of customary action, as is also cónsúmébat.
+
+24. autem. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+25. artí, dative of indirect object with the intransitive verb studébat.
+
+10. 2. omnibus víribus, 'with all his might,' ablative of manner.
+
+3. é vítá. Notice that the preposition denoting separation appears both
+with the noun and in the verb. Compare _in átrium inrúpit_, 7, 3.
+
+4. neque quisquam, 'and not any one,' _i.e_. 'and no one.' _Quisquam_ is
+used chiefly in negative sentences.
+
+5. voluit, 'was willing.'
+
+7. facit. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+8. nómine. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+9. vir crúdélissimus, not 'cruelest man,' but 'most cruel man.' The
+superlative is often thus used to denote simply a high degree of the
+quality.
+
+cónsuéverat. Inceptive verbs end in _scó_ and denote the beginning of an
+action or state. The perfect and pluperfect of such verbs often represent
+the state of things resulting from the completion of the action, and are
+then to be translated as present and imperfect respectively. So
+_cónsuéscó_ = 'I am becoming accustomed,' _cónsuéví_ = 'I have become
+accustomed' or 'am accustomed,' _cónsuéveram_ = 'I had become accustomed'
+or 'was accustomed.'
+
+11. sacrifició, 'for the sacrifice,' dative of purpose.
+
+ea. Why is diés feminine here? See the note on _certam_, 5, 13.
+
+12. omnia. See the note on 5, 13.
+
+15. capitibus, dative of indirect object after the compound verb _(in +
+pónó)_.
+
+16. iam. The omission of the conjunction that would naturally join this
+clause with the preceding, and the repetition of _iam_, which thus in a
+way connects the two clauses, reflect the imminence of the danger and
+heighten our anxiety for the hero. Observe too how the tenses of the
+verbs contribute to the vividness of the picture. We see Hercules at the
+altar and the priest, knife in hand, about to give the fatal blow.
+
+18. alteró. Supply _íctú_.
+
+19. Thébís, locative case. Notice that some names of towns are plural in
+form.
+
+21. Thébánís, dative with the adjective fínitimí.
+
+autem, 'now.'
+
+22. Thébás. Names of towns are used without a preposition to express the
+place to which.
+
+23. veniébant, postulábant, imperfect of customary action.
+
+25. cívís suós, 'his fellow-citizens.' Compare 5, 10.
+
+hóc stípendió, ablative of separation.
+
+27. atque. This conjunction adds an important statement by way of
+supplement. Here the meaning is something like 'and not only that, but.'
+
+11. 11. conversa. _Est_ and _sunt_ are frequently not expressed with the
+perfect participle.
+
+17. suós ipse suá. Notice how the enormity of the crime is emphasized by
+the use of all these words repeating the same idea.
+
+23. óráculum Delphicum. See the note on 5, 6.
+
+hóc óráculum omnium = _hóc omnium óráculórum_.
+
+25. Hóc in templó. Monosyllabic prepositions often stand between the
+noun and an adjective modifying it.
+
+12. 1. quí. Remember that the relative pronoun agrees in gender, number,
+and person with its antecedent; that its case depends upon its use. How
+are the person and number of quí shown?
+
+2. hominibus. See the note on 9, 2.
+
+4. neque. See the note on 6, 8.
+
+7. Tíryntha. This is a Greek accusative form. See the note on _áera_,
+4, 11.
+
+10. Duodecim annós, accusative of duration of time.
+
+11. Eurystheó. The English verb 'serve' is transitive, but _servió_ ('be
+subject to') is intransitive and takes an indirect object.
+
+14. quae. See the note on line 1. What is the case of quae?
+
+16. Prímum is chiefly used in enumeration, prímó (line 6) in contrasting
+an action or state with one that follows it.
+
+19. sécum. The preposition _cum_ follows and is joined to the reflexive
+and personal pronouns, usually also to the relative pronoun.
+
+22. neque enim. See the note on 7, 12.
+
+26. respírandí, the genitive of the gerund. It modifies facultás. The
+gerund corresponds to the English verbal noun in _-ing_.
+
+13. 5. Hóc. We might expect _haec_ referring to Hydram, but a
+demonstrative pronoun is commonly attracted into the gender of the
+predicate noun (here mónstrum).
+
+cui erant, 'which had,' literally 'to which there were.' This
+construction is found only with _sum_. It is called the dative of
+possession.
+
+8. rés. In rendering this word choose always with great freedom the most
+suitable English word.
+
+13. 8. mágní perículí. We say 'one of great danger.'
+
+9. éius. What possessive would be used to modify sinistrá?
+
+11. hóc cónátú, ablative of separation.
+
+14. comprehendérunt. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+unde = _ex quibus_.
+
+16. auxilió Hydrae, 'to the aid of the Hydra,' but literally for aid
+(i.e. as aid) to the Hydra,' for Hydrae is dative. This is called the
+double dative construction, auxilió the dative of purpose, and Hydrae the
+dative of reference, i.e. the dative denoting the person interested.
+
+17. abscídit. See the note on 4, 25.
+
+mordébat, 'kept biting,' the imperfect of repeated action.
+
+18. tálí modó. See the note on 9, 13.
+
+interfécit. We have now had several verbs meaning 'kill.' _Interfició_ is
+the most general of these; _necó_ (line 4) is used of killing by unusual
+or cruel means, as by poison; _occídó_ (12, 23) is most commonly used of
+the 'cutting down' of an enemy in battle.
+
+19. reddidit, as well as imbuit, has sagittás for its object, but we must
+translate as if we had _eás_ with reddidit.
+
+22. ad sé. Compare this construction with the use of the dative in 4, 2.
+Notice that sé does not refer to Herculem, the subject of referre, but to
+Eurystheus, the subject of Iussit. When the reflexive thus refers to the
+subject of the principal verb rather than to the subject of the
+subordinate verb with which it s directly connected, it is called
+indirect.
+
+23. tantae audáciae. The genitive of description, like the ablative of
+description, consists always of a noun with some modifying word. Compare
+_specié horribilí_, 4, 14.
+
+autem. Compare 5, 8 and 10, 21.
+
+24. incrédibilí celeritáte, ablative of description.
+
+25. vestígiís, ablative of means.
+
+26. ipsum, contrasts cervum with vestígiís.
+
+27. omnibus víribus. See the note on 10, 2.
+
+14. 1. currébat, 'he kept running.'
+
+sibi, dative of reference. It need not be translated,
+
+ad quiétem, 'for rest.' Purpose is frequently thus expressed by _ad_.
+
+3. cucurrerat. The pluperfect is sometimes used with postquam when the
+lapse of time is denoted.
+
+4. cursú, ablative of cause.
+
+exanimátum = _quí exanimátus erat_. The participle is often equivalent to
+a relative clause.
+
+5. rettulit. See the note on 13, 19.
+
+8. rem. See the note on _rés_, 13, 8.
+
+10. apró, dative of indirect object after the compound verb (_ob +
+curró_).
+
+11. tímóre perterritus. It is not necessary to translate both words.
+
+13. iniécit, i.e. upon the boar.
+
+summá cum difficultáte. Compare this with _omnibus víribus_, 13, 27, and
+notice that _cum_ may be omitted with the ablative of manner when there
+is an adjective. For the position of cum, see the note on 11, 25.
+
+15. ad Eurystheum. We are told elsewhere that Eurystheus was so
+frightened when he saw the boar that he hid in a cask.
+
+vívus. Why have we the nominative here, but the accusative (vívum) in
+line 5?
+
+17. quartó. The capture of the Erymanthian boar is usually given as the
+third labor and the capture of the Cerynean stag as the fourth.
+
+nárrávimus. The writer sometimes uses the first person plural in speaking
+of himself, instead of the first person singular. This is called the
+plural of modesty, and is the same as the English usage.
+
+18. in Arcadiam. How does this differ in meaning from _in Arcadiá_?
+
+20. appeteret. The subjunctive introduced by cum, 'since,' may express
+the reason for the action of the main verb.
+
+23. Herculés. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+26. quod, conjunction, not pronoun.
+
+reliquós centaurós, 'the rest of the centaurs,' 'the other centaurs.'
+Compare _mediá nocte_, 9, 5. Notice that _reliquí_ means about the same
+as _céterí_, and see the note on 4, 13.
+
+28. inquit, historical present. This verb is used parenthetically with
+direct quotations.
+
+15. 1. dabó. Notice that Latin is more exact than English in the use of
+the future tense in subordinate clauses. In English we often use the
+present in the subordinate clause and leave it to the principal verb to
+show that the time is future.
+
+7. pervénérunt. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+10. cónstitit, from _cónsistó_, not _cónstó_.
+
+16. fugá. Latin says 'by flight,' not 'in flight.'
+
+17. ex spéluncá. See the note on 10, 3.
+
+21. locum, the direct object of Adiit, which is here transitive. We might
+also have _ad locum_ with _adeó_ used intransitively.
+
+16. 4. Herculí. See the note on 10, 15.
+
+labórem. This labor is usually given as the sixth, the destruction of the
+Stymphalian birds as the fifth.
+
+6. tria mília boum, 'three thousand cattle,' literally 'three thousands
+of cattle.' The partitive genitive is the regular construction with the
+plural _mília_, but the singular _mílle_ is commonly used as an
+adjective, like English 'thousand.' Thus 'one thousand cattle' would be
+_mílle bovés_.
+
+7. ingentís mágnitúdinis. See the note on _tantae audáciae_, 13, 23.
+
+8. neque enim umquam, 'for ... never.' See the note on _neque enim_, 7,
+12.
+
+11. multae operae. See the note on _mágní perículí_, 13, 8.
+
+12. duodévígintí pedum, i.e. in width.
+
+dúxit. This word is used with reference to the progress of work on a wall
+or ditch from one end of it to the other.
+
+15. opus. Compare this word with operae and labóre, line 12. _Labor_ is
+used of heavy or exhausting labor, _opera_ of voluntary exertion or
+effort, _opus_ of that upon which one labors or of the completed work.
+
+17. imperáverat. This verb takes an indirect object to express the person
+ordered (eí). The action commanded is expressed by the subjunctive in a
+clause introduced by _ut_ and used as the object of _imperó_ (ut
+necáret). Notice that this may be translated 'that he should kill' or 'to
+kill.' Compare now the construction with _iubeó_, 13, 22, with which the
+command is expressed by the accusative and infinitive (_Herculem
+referre_).
+
+19. carne. _Véscor_ is an intransitive verb and governs the ablative.
+
+22. appropinquandí. See the note on 12, 26.
+
+23. cónstitit, from _cónstó_. Compare 15, 10.
+
+pedibus, 'on foot,' literally 'by his feet.'
+
+25. consúmpsisset. The imperfect and pluperfect tenses of the subjunctive
+are used with cum, 'when,' to describe the circumstances of the action of
+the main verb. Compare 14, 20, and the note.
+
+26. hóc cónátú. See the note on 13, 11.
+
+27. peteret. The subjunctive is used with ut to express purpose. The best
+translation is usually the infinitive ('to ask'), but the Latin
+infinitive is not used in model prose to express purpose.
+
+17. 3. ávolárent. This is not subjunctive of purpose, but of result, as
+is indicated by tam.
+
+6. ex. Compare this with _ab_, 16, 21, and _dé_, 16, 13. We commonly
+translate all of these 'from,' but the real meanings are 'out of,' 'away
+from,' and 'down from' respectively.
+
+Crétá. See the note on 3, 12.
+
+7. esset. See the note on 14, 20.
+
+8. ínsulae, dative with the compound verb (_ad_ + _propinquó_).
+
+appropinquáret. See the note on 16, 25.
+
+9. tanta ... ut. Notice how frequently the clause of result is connected
+with a demonstrative word in the main clause.
+
+12. návigandí imperítus, 'ignorant of navigation,' 'inexperienced in
+sailing.' See the note on 12, 26.
+
+21. cum, the conjunction.
+
+ingentí labóre. See the note on _summá cum difficultáte_, 14, 13.
+
+25. ut redúceret. See the note on 16, 27.
+
+26. carne. See the note on 16, 19.
+
+véscébantur, imperfect of customary action.
+
+18. 3. ut tráderentur. Notice that _postuló_, like _imperó_, takes an
+object-clause introduced by _ut_ and having its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+sibi, the indirect reflexive. See the note on 13, 22.
+
+4. írá ... interfécit, 'became furiously angry and killed the king,'
+literally 'moved by wrath killed the king.' The participle is frequently
+best rendered by a finite verb.
+
+18. 4. cadáver. The subject of an infinitive stands in the accusative
+case. We might translate here 'and gave orders that his body should be
+thrown.' See the note on 16, 17.
+
+6. míra rérum commútátió. When a noun has both an adjective and a
+genitive modifier, this order of the words is common.
+
+7. cum cruciátú, ablative of manner.
+
+necáverat. See the note on _interfécit_, 13, 18.
+
+10. referébant. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+modo. This is the adverb, not a case of _modus_, the dative and ablative
+singular of which would be _modó_. Make a practice of carefully observing
+the quantity of vowels.
+
+11. órábant. Notice that this verb, like _imperó_ and _postuló_, takes
+_ut_ and the subjunctive.
+
+14. ad návigandum. See the note on _ad quiétem_, 14, 1.
+
+16. post, here an adverb of time.
+
+18. dícitur. Notice that the Latin construction is personal ('the nation
+is said to have consisted'), while English commonly has the impersonal
+construction ('it is said that the nation consisted').
+
+19. reí mílitáris, 'the art of war.'
+
+25. mandávit. See the note on 16, 17.
+
+26. Amázonibus, dative after the compound verb.
+
+19. 1. persuásit. Notice that this verb governs the same construction
+that we have already found used with _imperó_ and _mandó_.
+
+2. sécum. See the note on 12, 19.
+
+5. appulit. Supply _návem_.
+
+6. docéret. A clause of purpose is frequently introduced by a relative.
+Translate like the _ut_-clause of purpose, here 'to make known,'
+literally 'who was to make known.'
+
+14. mágnó interválló, ablative of degree of difference.
+
+16. nón mágna. The effect of the position of these words may be
+reproduced by translating 'but not a large one.'
+
+neutrí. The plural is used because the reference is to two parties, each
+composed of several individuals. 'Neither' of two individuals would be
+_neuter_.
+
+17. volébant, dedit. Consider the tenses. Each army waited for some time
+for the other to cross; finally Hercules gave the signal.
+
+22. occíderint. The perfect subjunctive is sometimes used in result
+clauses after a past tense in the principal clause. This is contrary to
+the general principle of the sequence of tenses, which requires the
+imperfect or pluperfect subjunctive after a past tense, the present or
+perfect subjunctive after a present or future tense.
+
+23. Virí. Compare this with _hominibus_, 12, 2.
+
+24. praestábant. Compare the tense with praestitérunt, line 21.
+
+27. neu. As _neque_ or _nec_ is used for 'and not,' so _néve_ or _neu_
+for 'and that not' in an object-clause or a clause of purpose.
+
+20. 1. quibus, 'and by these,' The relative is much used in Latin to
+connect a new sentence with the one preceding. When so used, it is
+generally best rendered by 'and' or 'but' and a demonstrative or personal
+pronoun.
+
+ita ... ut. See the note on 17, 9.
+
+2. essent, most easily explained as the subjunctive of attraction. By
+this is meant that the verb is attracted into the mood of the clause upon
+which it depends.
+
+4. púgnátum est, 'the battle raged' or 'they fought,' literally 'it was
+fought,' Intransitive verbs are often thus used impersonally in the
+passive, with the subject implied in the verb itself, as púgnátum
+est = _púgna púgnáta est_.
+
+11. aestátis, partitive genitive. Notice that multum is used as a noun.
+
+13. nactus. The perfect active participle is wanting in Latin, but the
+perfect participle of deponent verbs is active in meaning.
+
+24. specié horribilí. See the note on 4, 14.
+
+26. timóre perterrití. See the note on 14, 11.
+
+continébantur, 'kept themselves shut up.' This is the so-called reflexive
+use of the passive, in which the subject is represented as acting upon
+itself.
+
+pecora. This word is used of herds of cattle, pecudés (line 25) of single
+animals, especially sheep.
+
+28. commótus cónsuluit. See the note on 18, 4.
+
+21. 3. líberáret. See the note on 16, 27.
+
+óráculó. Notice that párére is intransitive and has the dative of
+indirect object, while 'obey' is transitive. It may help to understand
+the Latin construction if you translate such verbs as _páreó_ by
+intransitives, here 'to submit to.'
+
+4. sacrifició. See the note on 10, 11.
+
+5. ipsó temporis punctó quó, 'at the very moment when.'
+
+8. égressus. See the note on 20, 13.
+
+dé rébus ... factus est, 'was informed of the state of things,' literally
+'was made more certain about the things which were being done.' In what
+gender, number, person, and case is quae? Give a reason for each.
+
+11. posset. The subjunctive is used because the words of the king are
+quoted indirectly. He said _sí potes_, 'if you can.'
+
+19. Ipse. Notice the use of this word in contrasts, frequently, as here,
+of a person with that which belongs to him or with his subordinates.
+
+20. inter sé, 'to one another.'
+
+22. esset, subjunctive in an indirect question. The direct form would be
+_Quantum perículum est_? ('How great is the danger?'). multás terrás,
+just as we say 'many lands,'
+
+23. Európae. Compare _Thébánís_, 10, 21.
+
+24. in utróque lítore, 'on each shore,' 'on both shores.'
+
+25. columnás. The ancients believed that the Rock of Gibraltar was the
+pillar set up by Hercules on the European side.
+
+22. 4. tantum, an adverb.
+
+5. dederit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+9. quó in locó. See the note on 11, 25. essent. See the note on 21, 22.
+
+10. sibi, the indirect reflexive.
+
+12. et ... et, 'both ... and.'
+
+18. prógredí, 'from proceeding.'
+
+19. prohibébant, 'attempted to prevent,' imperfect of attempted action.
+Notice that the use of the imperfect to express customary, repeated, or
+attempted action follows naturally from its use to denote action going on
+in past time. The present, the tense which denotes action going on in
+present time, has the same special uses.
+
+20. barbarí. This word was used by the Greeks of all other peoples; by
+the Romans it was used of all but the Greeks and themselves.
+
+24. cecidérunt. Let the quantity of the _i_ tell you whether this comes
+from _cadó_ or _caedó_. Is occíderint a compound of _cadó_ or _caedó_?
+
+25. in tálibus rébus, _i.e_. when a god intervenes in behalf of his
+favorite.
+
+26. nihil incommodí, 'no harm,' literally 'nothing of harm'; incommodí is
+partitive genitive.
+
+23. 2. quam celerrimé, 'as rapidly as possible.' _Quam_ with the
+superlative expresses the highest possible degree.
+
+3. Necesse, predicate adjective with erat, the subject being hás
+tránsíre.
+
+5. citerióre. The Romans called upper Italy _Gallia Citerior_, 'Hither
+Gaul,' because it was occupied by Gallic tribes.
+
+6. perenní. Learn the derivation of this word. The meaning of a word may
+often be seen most easily and remembered most surely by noticing its
+derivation,
+
+téctí, used as predicate adjective.
+
+9. cópiam. Notice carefully the meaning of this word. In what sense have
+we found the plural _cópiae_ used?
+
+10. rébus, 'preparations.' See the note on _rés_, 13, 8.
+
+cónsúmpserat. See the note on 14, 3.
+
+11. omnium opíniónem. Hitherto we have had _opíniónem omnium_, but here
+_omnium_ is made emphatic by being placed first.
+
+15. itinere, ablative of cause.
+
+fessus, 'since he was weary.' Notice that a Latin adjective or participle
+must often be expanded into a clause in the translation.
+
+16. Haud = _nón_. It modifies a single word, usually an adjective or
+adverb.
+
+19. modo. See the note on 18, 10.
+
+ingentí mágnitúdine. Compare _ingentis mágnitúdinis_, 16, 7.
+
+23. boum. Learn the declension of this word from the vocabulary.
+
+24. né. A negative clause of purpose is introduced by _né_.
+
+24. 2. omnibus locís. _Locus_ modified by an adjective is often used
+without _in_ in the ablative of place.
+
+3. núsquam. We say 'could not find anywhere,' but Latin prefers to
+combine the negative with another word.
+
+6. reliquís. See the note on _reliquós centaurós_, 14, 26.
+
+7. é bóbus. Compare _boum_, 23, 23. With únus the ablative with _ex_ or
+_dé_ is commonly used instead of the partitive genitive.
+
+16. neque quicquam. See the note on 10, 4.
+
+21. móre suó, 'according to his custom.'
+
+turbátus, 'was confused ... and.' See the note on _íra ... interfécit_,
+18, 4.
+
+22. in. See the note on _in átrium_, 7, 3.
+
+25. respírandí. See the note on 12, 26.
+
+25. 2. quam quós, for _quam eós quós_.
+
+11. cui. See the note on _cui erant_, 13, 5.
+
+12. Herculí imperáverat, 'had enjoined upon Hercules.'
+
+17. Eurystheó. See the note on _óráculó_, 21, 3.
+
+19. quaesíverat. With this verb the person of whom the question is asked
+is expressed in the ablative with _ab, dé_, or _ex_.
+
+23. orbis terrárum, 'of the world,' literally 'of the circle of lands.'
+
+26. umerís suís, ablative of means, but we say 'on his shoulders.'
+
+né. See the note on 23, 24.
+
+décideret. Notice the force of the prefix _dé_.
+
+27. mírátus, 'wondering at.' The perfect participle of deponent verbs is
+often best rendered into English by a present participle.
+
+26. 3. Herculí, dative with pródesse.
+
+ille. See the note on _Perseus_, 4, 4.
+
+4. certó, the adverb.
+
+6. vénisset. What would the form be in the direct question?
+
+inquit. See the note on 14, 28.
+
+7. fíliábus. To avoid confusion with the corresponding forms of
+_deus_ and _fílius_, the dative and ablative plural of _dea_ and _fília_
+sometimes end in _ábus_.
+
+sponte. This noun is practically confined to the ablative singular, in
+prose usually with _meá, tuá_, or _suá_, 'of my, your, his own accord.'
+
+9. posset, subjunctive because indirect. The thought of Hercules was _sí
+potest_.
+
+11. abesset. This also is indirect, quoting _absum_.
+
+12. umerís. See the note on 25, 26.
+
+17. pauca mília. Extent of space, like duration of time, is expressed by
+the accusative,
+
+passuum. See the note on 16, 6.
+
+21. ita ut, 'as'
+
+accépissent. Hitherto we have found the indicative in causal clauses
+introduced by quod. The subjunctive indicates that the reason is quoted;
+the Hesperides said _quod accépimus_.
+
+28. grátiás égit. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+27. 2. é labóribus. See the note on 24, 7.
+
+3. Herculí praecéperat = _Herculí imperáverat_, 25, 12.
+
+5. posset, subjunctive because it quotes the thought of Eurystheus,
+_poterit_.
+
+6. ut ... traheret. This clause is not itself the object of dedit, but in
+apposition with the object (Negótium).
+
+7. omnium, partitive genitive.
+
+11. nárrámus. The present is sometimes used with antequam to express
+future action, as in English with 'before.' See the note on 15, 1.
+
+aliénum, predicate adjective, the subject of vidétur being pauca ...
+própónere. In the passive _videó_ may mean 'be seen,' but it usually
+means 'seem.'
+
+13. qui ídem, 'which also,' literally 'which the same.'
+
+14. Ut, 'when.'
+
+15. dédúcébantur, customary action.
+
+19. Stygis flúminis. We say 'river Styx,' but 'Mississippi River.'
+
+quó, ablative of means.
+
+20. necesse. See the note on 23, 3.
+
+possent. The subjunctive is used with antequam to denote that the action
+is expected or intended.
+
+21. in. We say 'over.'
+
+25. prius. Notice that Latin is here more exact than English, using the
+comparative because only two actions are spoken of.
+
+dedisset, subjunctive because indirect. Charon said _nisi dederis_
+(future perfect), _nón tránsveham_, 'unless you first give (shall have
+given), I will not carry you across.'
+
+28. 1. mortuí, used as a noun, 'of the dead man.'
+
+eó cónsilió, 'with this purpose,' 'to this end.' The clause ut ... posset
+is in apposition with cónsilió.
+
+6. Ut. Compare 27, 14.
+
+8. quod cum fécissent, 'and when they had done this.' See the note on
+_quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+13. Stábant, 'there stood.' What is its subject?
+
+15. mortuís, dative of indirect object.
+
+et. Notice that ambiguity is avoided by a change of conjunctions, et
+connecting the clauses and -que connecting praemia and poenás. Of these
+connectives, _et_ connects two ideas that are independent of each other
+and of equal importance; _-que_ denotes a close connection, often of two
+words that together express a single idea; while _ac_ or _atque_ (see
+line 18) adds something of greater importance.
+
+18. et. _Multí_ is often joined by _et_ to another adjective modifying
+the same noun.
+
+24. ex. Compare 25, 18.
+
+27. sé sociós, direct object and predicate accusative respectively.
+
+29. 3. né. After verbs of fearing _né_ must be rendered 'that,' _ut_,
+'that not.' Notice, however, that the negative idea is as clearly present
+here as in the other clauses introduced by _né_ that we have met, for
+Charon wishes that the thing may not happen.
+
+13. fécisset, indirect for _féceris_.
+
+18. refúgerit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+23. quae cum ita essent, 'and this being the case,' 'and so,' literally
+'since which things were so.'
+
+24. líberátus. See the note on _írá ... interfécit_, 18, 4.
+
+25. quae, object of perscríbere, which is the subject of est; longum is
+predicate adjective.
+
+26. est. We say 'would be.'
+
+aetáte, ablative of specification. Translate 'when he was now advanced in
+age' (_i.e_. 'late in life'), and see the note on _fessus_, 23, 15.
+
+30. 1. accidit. This is one of several impersonal verbs which take for
+their subject a clause of result (ut ... occíderit).
+
+3. ut ... íret, a clause of result; used as the subject of esset, mós
+being predicate.
+
+quis. After _sí, nisi, né_, and _num_, this is not the interrogative, but
+an indefinite pronoun ('any one'),
+
+occídisset, indirect for _occíderit_, which would be the form used in the
+laws; or it may be explained as subjunctive by attraction to íret.
+
+7. tránseant, not 'they are crossing,' but 'they are to cross.' The
+direct form would be _tránseámus ('How in the world are we to get
+across?'), subjunctive because the question expresses doubt. This is
+called the deliberative subjunctive.
+
+10. prógressus, 'after advancing.'
+
+11. revertébátur. This verb is deponent in the present, imperfect, and
+future.
+
+16. humí, locative, 'on the ground.'
+
+né. See the note on 23, 24.
+
+suí ulcíscendí, 'of avenging himself.' This is called the gerundive
+construction. It is regularly used instead of the gerund when the gerund
+would have an accusative object (_sé ulcíscendí_). Notice that the gerund
+is a verbal noun; the gerundive a verbal adjective, agreeing with its
+noun like any other adjective.
+
+17. morientis, 'of a dying man.' Compare _mortuí_, 28, 1.
+
+18. vís, from _voló_.
+
+20. sí ... vénerit, 'if you ever suspect him.' What is the literal
+meaning? Notice that we use the present, while Latin by the use of the
+future perfect indicates that the action is to precede that of the main
+clause.
+
+21. inficiés. The future indicative is sometimes used, as in English, for
+the imperative.
+
+22. nihil malí. See the note on 22, 26.
+
+suspicáta. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+25. Iolén, fíliam, captívam, direct object, appositive, and predicate
+accusative respectively.
+
+26. domum. See the note on _ad domum_, 3, 15.
+
+31. 1. referret. See the note on 19, 6.
+
+2. facerent, subjunctive by attraction. The verb of a clause dependent
+upon an infinitive is put in the subjunctive when the two clauses are
+closely connected in thought. We have already met this construction in
+the case of dependence upon a subjunctive; see the note on 20, 2.
+
+gerere. Compare 30, 3. Such phrases as _mós est_ may have as subject
+either an infinitive or a clause of result.
+
+3. verita. This participle is regularly rendered as present,
+
+né. See the note on 29, 3.
+
+4. vestem. Notice that the position of this word helps to make it clear
+that it is the object of ínfécit as well as of dedit.
+
+5. suspicáns. This does not differ appreciably in force from _suspicáta_,
+30, 22.
+
+8. exanimátus, 'beside himself.'
+
+14. succenderent. Notice the force of the prefix _sub_ in this word and
+in subdidit below.
+
+15. inductus, 'moved.'
+
+
+THE ARGONAUTS
+
+33. 1. alter ... alter, 'one ... the other.' Remember that this word is
+used to denote one of two given persons or things. We have in this
+passage an instance of the chiastic order, in which variety and emphasis
+are gained by reversing the position of the words in the second of two
+similar expressions. Here the two names are brought together by this
+device.
+
+3. régní, objective genitive, _i.e_. a genitive used to denote the object
+of the feeling cupiditáte.
+
+6. ex amícís. Quídam, like _únus_, commonly has _ex_ or _dé_ and the
+ablative, instead of the partitive genitive.
+
+10. puerum mortuum esse, 'that the boy was dead,' literally 'the boy to
+be dead.' This is indirect for _Puer mortuus est_, 'The boy is dead.'
+Notice carefully what changes Latin makes in quoting such a statement
+indirectly, and what the changes are in English. We have already met two
+constructions of indirect discourse, the subjunctive in indirect
+questions, and the subjunctive in informal indirect discourse. By the
+latter is meant a subordinate clause which, though not forming part of a
+formal quotation, has the subjunctive to show that not the speaker or
+writer but some other person is responsible for the idea it expresses
+(see the notes on _dedisset_, 27, 25, and _occídisset_. 30, 3). In
+indirect discourse, then, a statement depending upon a verb of saying,
+thinking, knowing, perceiving, or the like has its verb in the infinitive
+with the subject in the accusative; a command or question has its verb in
+the subjunctive; and any clause modifying such a statement, command, or
+question has its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+33. 13. intellegerent. See the note on 14, 20.
+
+14. nesció quam fábulam, 'some story or other.' Notice that _nesció_ with
+the interrogative pronoun is equivalent to an indefinite pronoun.
+
+19. óráculum. Read again the description beginning at the bottom of
+page 11.
+
+21. quis. See the note on 30, 3.
+
+Post paucís annís, 'a few years later,' literally 'later by a few years.'
+Post is here an adverb, and paucís annís ablative of degree of
+difference. The expression is equivalent to _post paucós annós_.
+
+22. accidit. See the note on 30, 1.
+
+factúrus, 'intending to make.' The future participle with a form of _sum_
+is used to express an intended or future action. This is called the
+active periphrastic conjugation.
+
+23. certam. See the note on 5, 13.
+
+24. Dié cónstitútá, ablative of time.
+
+26. á pueritiá. Compare _á pueró_, 9, 20.
+
+34. 2. tránseundó flúmine. See the note on _suí ulcíscendí_, 30, 16.
+
+nesció quó. See the note on 33. 14.
+
+4. únó pede núdó, 'with one foot bare,' the ablative absolute. This
+construction consists of two parts, a noun, or pronoun corresponding to
+the subject of a clause, and a participle corresponding to the verb of a
+clause. A predicate noun or adjective may take the place of the
+participle. In the latter case the use of the participle 'being' will
+show the two parts in the relation of subject and predicate, 'one foot
+being bare.'
+
+34.6. démónstrávisset, subjunctive because subordinate in indirect
+discourse. See the note on 33, 10. Pelias thought, _Híc est homó quem
+óráculum démónstrávit_.
+
+9. vellus aureum. Phrixus and his sister Helle were about to be put to
+death, when they were rescued by a ram with fleece of gold, who carried
+them off through the air. Helle fell from the ram's back into the strait
+that separates Europe and Asia, called after her the Hellespont, 'Helle's
+sea,' and known to us as the Dardanelles. Phrixus came safely to Colchis,
+and here he sacrificed the ram and gave the fleece to Aeetes. Read Mr.
+D.O.S. Lowell's _Jason's Quest_.
+
+11. ut ... potírétur. See the note on 27, 6.
+
+hóc vellere. _Potior_ takes the same construction as _véscor_, for which
+see the note on 16, 19.
+
+16. iter, accusative of extent.
+
+20. úsuí, dative of purpose. We say 'of use' or 'useful.'
+
+24. operí dative after the compound with _prae_. Notice that not all
+verbs compounded with prepositions govern the dative. Many compounds of
+_ad, ante, com_ (for _cum_), _in, inter, ob, post, prae, pró, sub_, and
+_super_ do have the dative, and some compounds of _circum_. You will find
+it profitable to keep a list of all such compound verbs governing the
+dative that you meet in your reading.
+
+25. né ... quidem, 'not ... even.' The word emphasized must stand between
+_né_ and _quidem_.
+
+ad labórem. See the note on _ad quiétem_, 14, 1.
+
+26. Ad multitúdinem tránsportandam, used like _ad labórem_. The gerundive
+in this use is very common.
+
+27. quibus. The antecedent _eae_ is not expressed. Notice that _útor_
+governs the same case as _véscor_ and _potior_. Two other deponent verbs,
+not found in this book, take this construction, namely _fruor_, 'enjoy,'
+and _fungor_, 'perform.'
+
+nostró marí, _i.e_. the Mediterranean.
+
+cónsuévimus. See the note on _cónsuéverat_, 10, 9.
+
+35. 8. citharoedum. It was said that Orpheus made such sweet music on his
+golden harp that wild beasts, trees, and rocks followed him as he moved.
+By his playing he even prevailed upon Pluto to give back his dead wife
+Eurydice.
+
+Théseum, a mythical hero, whose exploits resemble and rival those of
+Hercules. The most famous of them was the killing of the Minotaur.
+Theseus was the national hero of Athens.
+
+Castorem, the famous tamer of horses and brother of Pollux, the boxer.
+Read Macaulay's _Lays of Ancient Rome, The Battle of the Lake Regillus_.
+
+10. quós, the subject of esse. Its antecedent is eós, line 11. The
+relative frequently precedes in Latin, but the antecedent must be
+translated first.
+
+16. Argonautae. Notice the composition of this word.
+
+24. déicerentur, part of the result clause.
+
+26. arbitrátí. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+égredí. See the note on 22, 18.
+
+27. púgnátum est. See the note on 20 4.
+
+36. 5. Postrídié éius diéí, 'the next day,' more literally 'on the day
+following that day.' This idea may be expressed by _postrídié_ alone, and
+the fuller expression is simply more formal.
+
+9. in ancorís, 'at anchor.'
+
+10. habérent. See the note on 34, 6.
+
+11. ex Argonautís. See the note on 33, 6.
+
+13. Quí, 'he.' See the note on _quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+dum quaerit, 'while looking for.' The present indicative with _dum_ is
+often to be translated by a present participle.
+
+15. vídissent. We say 'saw,' but Latin makes it plain that the seeing
+(and falling in love) came before the attempt to persuade.
+
+eí. Keep a list of all intransitive verbs which are used with the dative.
+
+16. negáret. This verb is commonly used instead of _dícó_ when a negative
+statement follows; when thus used, it should be translated by 'say' with
+the appropriate negative, here 'said that he would not.'
+
+37. 1. praebuisset, subjunctive in a subordinate clause of indirect
+discourse.
+
+2. supplicí. See the note on 7, 8.
+
+6. accubuerat. The Romans reclined at table, supporting themselves on the
+left arm and taking the food with the right hand. They naturally
+represented others as eating in the same way.
+
+appositum, 'that had been placed before him.' See the note on
+_exanimátum_, 14, 4.
+
+7. Quó ... morerétur, 'and so it came to pass that Phineus was nearly
+dying of starvation,' literally 'that not much was wanting but that
+Phineus would die.' Ut ... abesset is a clause of result, the subject of
+factum est; quin ... morerétur is a form of subordinate clause with
+subjunctive verb used after certain negative expressions; famé is
+ablative of cause. Notice that _famés_ has a fifth-declension ablative,
+but is otherwise of the third declension.
+
+9. Rés male sé habébat, 'the situation was desperate.' What is the
+literal meaning?
+
+12. opíniónem virtútis, 'reputation for bravery.'
+
+13. quín ferrent. Negative expressions of doubt are regularly followed by
+_quín_ and the subjunctive.
+
+16. quantó in perículó. See the note on 11, 25.
+
+suae rés, 'his affairs.' See the note on _rés_, 13, 8.
+
+17. repperissent. Phineus used the future perfect indicative.
+
+22. nihil, used adverbially.
+
+23. áera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+27. Hóc factó, 'when this had been accomplished.' See the note on 34, 4.
+The ablative absolute is often used instead of a subordinate clause of
+time, cause, condition, or the like.
+
+38. 1. referret. See the note on 6, 16.
+
+3. eó cónsilió. See the note on 28, 1.
+
+4. né quis, 'that no one.' 'Negative clauses of purpose and negative
+clauses of result may be distinguished by the negative: _né, né quís_,
+etc., for purpose; _ut nón, ut némó_, etc., for result.
+
+parvó interválló, 'a short distance apart,' ablative absolute. See the
+note on 34, 1.
+
+5. in medium spatium, 'between them.'
+
+7. quid faciendum esset, 'what was to be done.' The gerundive is used
+with _sum_ to denote necessary action. This is called the passive
+periphrastic conjugation.
+
+8. sublátís ... solvit, 'weighed anchor and put to sea.' What is the
+literal translation? The ablative absolute is often best translated by a
+coördinate verb, and this requires a change of voice, for the lack of a
+perfect active participle in Latin is the reason for the use of the
+ablative absolute in such cases. If there were a perfect active
+participle, it would stand in the nominative, modifying the subject, as
+we have found the perfect participle of deponent verbs doing.
+
+11. réctá ... spatium, 'straight between them.'
+
+12. caudá tantum ámissá, 'having lost only its tail-feathers.' Notice
+that we change the voice, as in line 8, and that the use of the ablative
+absolute is resorted to here for the same reason as in that passage. Make
+sure at this point that you know three ways in which the ablative
+absolute may be translated, as in this passage, as in line 8, and as
+suggested in the note on 37, 27.
+
+14. concurrerent, 'could rush together.' See the note on _possent_, 27,
+20.
+
+intellegentés, equivalent to _cum intellegerent_.
+
+17. dís, the usual form of the dative and ablative plural of _deus_, as
+_dí_ of the nominative plural.
+
+quórum, equivalent to _cum eórum_. A relative clause of cause, like a
+_cum_-clause of cause, has its verb in the subjunctive.
+
+27. negábat. See the note on 36, 16.
+
+39. 1. tráditúrum. In infinitives formed with participles _esse_ is often
+omitted,
+
+prius. See the note on 27, 25.
+
+3. Prímum. See the note on 12, 16.
+
+4. iungendí erant. See the note on 38, 7.
+
+8. reí bene gerendae, 'of accomplishing his mission.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+10. rem aegré ferébat, 'she was greatly distressed.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+12. Quae ... essent. See the note on 29, 23.
+
+13. medicínae, objective genitive.
+
+14. Mediá nocte. See the note on 9, 5.
+
+ínsciente patre, 'without the knowledge of her father,' ablative
+absolute.
+
+15. vénit. See the note on 3, 13.
+
+17. quod ... cónfírmáret, a relative clause of purpose.
+
+19. essent, subjunctive in informal indirect discourse, or by attraction
+to oblineret.
+
+20. hominibus. See the note on 34, 24.
+
+21. mágnitúdine et víribus, ablative of specification.
+
+40. 2. nihil valére, 'prevailed not.'
+
+5. quá in ré. See the note on 11, 25.
+
+6. cónfécerit. See the note on 19, 22.
+
+8. quós. See the note on _quíbus_, 20, 1.
+
+9. autem. See the note on 5, 8.
+
+10. essent, subjunctive by attraction.
+
+11. quódam, 'some.'
+
+16. gígnerentur, 'should be born.' With dum, 'until,' the subjunctive is
+used of action anticipated, as with _antequam_ (see the note on
+_possent_, 27, 20).
+
+19. omnibus agrí partibus. See the note on 18, 6.
+
+20. mírum in modum = _míró modó_.
+
+25. nesció cúr, 'for some reason.' See the note on 33, 14.
+
+28. núlló negótió, 'with no trouble,' 'without difficulty.'
+
+41. 3. quín tulisset. See the note on 37, 13.
+
+15. quam prímum, 'as soon as possible.' See the note on 23, 2.
+
+16. ávectúrum. See the note on _tráditúrum_, 39, 1.
+
+17. Postrídié éius diéí. See the note on 36, 5.
+
+19. locó. The antecedent is frequently thus repeated in the relative
+clause.
+
+21. quí ... essent, 'to guard the ship.' See the note on 13, 16.
+
+22. ipse. See the note on 21, 19.
+
+27. quídam. This word may sometimes be rendered by the indefinite
+article.
+
+28. démónstrávimus. See the note on _nárrávimus_, 14, 17.
+
+42. 5. dormit. See the note on _fugit_, 4, 25.
+
+12. aliquí. Learn from the vocabulary the difference between _aliquís_
+and _aliquí_.
+
+mátúrandum sibi, 'they ought to hasten,' more literally 'haste ought to
+be made by them'; mátúrandum (_esse_) is the impersonal passive, and sibi
+the so-called dative of the agent. With the gerundive the person who has
+the thing to do is regularly expressed in the dative.
+
+16. mírátí. See the note on 25, 27.
+
+20. dís. See the note on 38, 17.
+
+21. événisset. See the note on _accépissent_, 26, 21.
+
+23. vigiliá. The Romans divided the day from sunrise to sunset into
+twelve hours (_hórae_), the night from sunset to sunrise into four
+watches (_vigiliae_).
+
+24. neque enim. See the note on 7, 12.
+
+25. inimícó animó, ablative of description.
+
+43. 2. hóc dolóre, 'this anger,' _i.e_. 'anger at this.'
+
+Návem longam, 'war-galley,' 'man-of-war.' The adjective contrasts the
+shape of the man-of-war with that of the merchantman.
+
+4. fugientís, used as a noun, 'the fugitives.'
+
+6. quá, ablative of means.
+
+7. quá, 'as,' but in the same construction as eádem celeritáte.
+
+8. Quo ... caperentur. See the note on 37, 7.
+
+9. neque ... posset, 'for the distance between them was not greater than
+a javelin could be thrown.' What is the literal translation? The clause
+quó ... posset denotes result; the distance was not _so great that_ a
+javelin could not be thrown from one ship to the other.
+
+11. vídisset. See the note on 36, 15.
+
+15. fugiéns, 'when she fled.' See the note on _fessus_, 23, 15.
+
+18. fílí. See the note on 7, 8.
+
+19. Neque ... fefellit, 'and Medea was not mistaken.' What is the literal
+meaning?
+
+20. ubi prímum, 'as soon as,' literally 'when first.'
+
+24. prius, not to be rendered until quam is reached. The two words
+together mean 'before,' more literally 'earlier than,' 'sooner than,'
+They are sometimes written together (_priusquam_).
+
+25. nihil ... esse, 'that it would be of no advantage to him.'
+
+44. 5. pollicitus erat. Verbs of promising do not usually take in Latin
+the simple present infinitive, as in English, but the construction of
+indirect discourse.
+
+10. mihi. The dative of reference is often used in Latin where we should
+use a possessive in English. Translate here as if the word were _meus_,
+modifying diés.
+
+11. Liceat mihi, 'permit me,' literally 'let it be permitted to me.'
+Commands and entreaties in the third person are regularly expressed in
+the subjunctive.
+
+dum vívam, 'so long as I live.' The verb with _dum_ 'so long as' is not
+restricted to the present, as with _dum_ 'while,' but any tense of the
+indicative may be used. We have here the future indicative, or the
+present subjunctive by attraction.
+
+12. tú. The nominative of the personal pronouns is commonly expressed
+only when emphatic. Here the use of the pronoun makes the promise more
+positive.
+
+15. rem aegré tulit, 'was vexed.' Compare 39, 10.
+
+20. Vultisne, the verb _vultis_ and the enclitic _-ne_, which is used to
+introduce a question, and is incapable of translation. Num (line 21)
+introduces a question to which a negative answer is expected, and is
+likewise not to be translated, except in so far as its effect is
+reproduced by the form of the question or the tone of incredulity with
+which the words are spoken.
+
+28. effervésceret. See the note on 40, 16.
+
+45. 3. stupentés, 'in amazement.'
+
+5. Vós. See the note on 44, 12. Vós and ego in the next sentence are
+contrasted.
+
+7. Quod ubi. See the note on 28, 8.
+
+10. necávérunt. See the note on _interfécit_, 13, 18.
+
+13. quíbus. For the case see the note on _quíbus_, 34, 27.
+
+15. ré vérá, 'really.'
+
+18. aegré tulérunt, 'were indignant at.' Compare 39, 10, and 44, 15.
+
+23. Creontí. See the note on _cui erant_, 13, 5.
+
+25. núntium, 'a notice of divorce.'
+
+26. dúceret. See the note on _dúxit_, 6, 18.
+
+28. ultúram. See the note on 39, 1.
+
+46. 1. Vestem. Compare the story of the death of Hercules, pp. 30, 31.
+
+3. quis. See the note on 30, 3.
+
+induisset, subjunctive by attraction.
+
+5. nihil malí. See the note on 22, 26.
+
+16. itaque, not the adverb _itaque_, but the adverb _ita_ and the
+enclitic conjunction _-que_.
+
+áera. See the note on 4, 11.
+
+21. in eam partem, 'to that side.'
+
+
+ULYSSES
+
+49. 4. ínsidiás. This refers to the story of the wooden horse.
+
+9. quem, subject of excógitásse. The English idiom is 'who, some say,
+devised.' Notice that excógitásse is contracted from _excógitávisse_.
+
+10. quó, ablative of means.
+
+19. aliae ... partís, 'some in one direction and some in another,' but
+Latin compresses this into the one clause 'others in other directions.'
+
+20. quá. See the note on 43, 6.
+
+26. quibusdam, dative with obviam factí, 'having fallen in with,' 'having
+met.'
+
+27. Accidit. See the note on 30, 1.
+
+50. 2. gustássent, contracted from _gustávissent_.
+
+patriae et sociórum. Verbs of remembering and forgetting take the
+genitive or the accusative, but _oblívíscor_ prefers the former.
+
+4. cibó. See the note on 16, 19.
+
+5. hórá septimá. See the note on 42, 23.
+
+11. docuérunt. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+51. 6. tantum, the adverb.
+
+23. sé, 'they,' _i.e_. himself and his companions.
+
+praedandí causá, 'to steal.' Purpose is frequently thus expressed by
+_causá_ with the genitive of the gerund or gerundive. What other ways of
+expressing purpose have you met in your reading?
+
+24. á Tróiá. The preposition is sometimes used with names of towns, with
+the meaning 'from the direction of' or 'from the neighborhood of.'
+
+25. esse. It will help you to understand indirect discourse if you will
+try to discover what words would be used to express the idea in the
+direct form. Here, for instance, the exact words of Ulysses would have
+been in Latin: _Neque mercátórés sumus neque praedandí causá vénimus; sed
+á Tróiá redeuntés ví tempestátum á réctó cursú dépulsí sumus_.
+
+27. ubi ... essent. The question of Polyphemus was _Ubi est návis quá
+vectí estis_?
+
+sibi ... esse, 'that he must be exceedingly careful.' See the note on
+_mátúrandum sibi_, 42, 12.
+
+29. in ... esse, 'had been driven on the rocks and entirely dashed to
+pieces.' See the note on _írá ... interfécit_, 18, 4.
+
+52. 1. membrís eórum dívulsís, 'tearing them limb from limb.'
+
+4. né ... quidem. See the note on 34, 25.
+
+6. tam. Notice that the force of a second demonstrative word is lost in
+the English rendering. So _híc tantus vir_, 'this great man,' etc.
+
+7. humí. See the note on 30, 16.
+
+próstrátus, 'throwing himself down.' See the note on _continébantur_,
+20, 26.
+
+8. reí gerendae, 'for action.' Compare 39, 8.
+
+9. in eó ... tránsfígeret, 'was on the point of transfixing.' The clause
+of result ut ... tránsfígeret is explanatory of in eó.
+
+13. nihil sibi prófutúrum. See the note on 43, 25.
+
+17. hóc cónátú. See the note on 13, 11.
+
+18. núllá ... oblátá, 'since no hope of safety presented itself.' See the
+note on _continébantur_, 20, 26.
+
+21. et. See the note on 28, 18.
+
+23. látúri essent, 'would bring,' more literally 'were going to bring.'
+Notice that in subjunctive constructions the periphrastic form is
+necessary to express future action clearly, since the subjunctive has no
+future.
+
+25. quod, object of the implied _fécerat_.
+
+53. 14. quó. See the note on 43, 7.
+
+15. id ... salútí, 'and this was his salvation,' literally 'that which
+was for safety to him.' For the datives see the note on 13, 16.
+
+20. tertium, the adverb.
+
+22. Néminem. Why is the accusative used?
+
+27. inquit. See the note on 14, 28.
+
+28. quam facultátem, for _facultátem quam_. The antecedent is often thus
+attracted into the relative clause,
+
+né omittámus, 'let us not neglect,' the hortatory subjunctive.
+
+29. reí gerendae. See the note on 52, 8.
+
+54. 1. extrémum pálum, 'the end of the stake.' Other adjectives denoting
+a part of the object named by the noun they modify are _medius_, 'the
+middle of'; _céterus_, 'the rest of'; _reliquus_, 'the rest of';
+_prímus_, 'the first of'; _summus_, 'the top of'; _ímus_, 'the bottom
+of.'
+
+5. dum errat, 'wandering.'
+
+23. pecus. Is this _pecus, pecoris_, or _pecus, pecudis_? See the note on
+_pecora_, 20, 26.
+
+24. vénerat. We say 'came,' but the Latin by the use of the pluperfect
+denotes that this action preceded that of tráctábat.
+
+55. 1. quás. See the note on _quibus_, 20, 1.
+
+inter sé. Compare 21, 20.
+
+5. fore, 'would happen.'
+
+15. aliquod. Compare 42, 12, and the note.
+
+16. id ... erat, 'as was indeed the case.'
+
+17. auxiliandí causá. See the note on 51, 23.
+
+26. correptum coniécit, 'seized and threw.'
+
+27. nón ... submergerentur. See the note on 37, 7.
+
+56. 4-6. These verses and those on p. 57 and p. 59 are quoted from
+Vergil's Aeneid.
+
+6. vinclís, for _vinculís_.
+
+8. vírís. Let the quantity of the first _i_ tell you from what nominative
+this word comes.
+
+11. sibi proficíscendum. See the note on _mátúrandum sibi_, 42, 12.
+
+13. iam profectúró, 'as he was now about to set out.'
+
+16. návigantí, 'to one sailing.'
+
+25. mírábantur, 'had been wondering.' With iam dúdum and similar
+expressions the imperfect denotes action begun some time before and still
+going on at the given past time. This is similar to the use of the
+present already commented on (see the note on _es_, 4, 1).
+
+28. céláta, plural because of the plural expression aurum et argentum.
+
+57. 1. ventí, subject of ruunt and perflant.
+
+2. velut ágmine factó, 'as if formed in column.'
+
+3. data. _Est_ is omitted.
+
+10. próiécissent. See the note on _accépissent_, 26, 21.
+
+13. in terram égrediendum esse, 'that a landing must be made.'
+
+18. quam, an adverb modifying crúdélí.
+
+19. essent, informal indirect discourse or subjunctive by attraction.
+
+20. vellet, subjunctive of characteristic. This name is given to the
+subjunctive when used in relative clauses to define or restrict an
+indefinite or general antecedent. So here it is not 'no one was found,'
+but 'no one willing to undertake this task was found.'
+
+21. déducta est, 'came.'
+
+23. praeesset, subjunctive of purpose.
+
+25. événit. This verb takes the same construction as _accidit_, 30, 1.
+
+58. 1. nihil. See the note on 37, 22.
+
+2. mortí. Compare 49, 26.
+
+5. aliquantum itineris, 'some distance on the journey.' The two words are
+accusative of extent of space and partitive genitive respectively.
+
+11. sibi, 'for them,' dative of reference.
+
+12. forís. This is translated like forás above, but the former was
+originally locative and is therefore used with verbs of rest; the latter,
+accusative of place whither and therefore used with verbs of motion.
+
+15. accubuérunt. See the note on 37, 6.
+
+25. perturbátus, used as a predicate adjective, 'agitated.'
+
+27. correptó. See the note on 38, 8.
+
+59. 1. quid. See the note on _quis_, 30, 3.
+
+gravius, 'serious.'
+
+eí. The direct form of these two speeches would be: _Sí quid gravius tibi
+acciderit, omnium salús in summó discrímine erit_; and _Néminem invítum
+mécum addúcam; tibi licet, sí mávís, in náví manére; ego ipse sine úlló
+praesidió rem suscipiam_. Notice that _ego_ is not used to represent _sé_
+of line 2, but is used for _sé_ of line 4 for the sake of the contrast
+with _tibi_.
+
+6. núlló. Instead of the genitive and ablative of _némó_, _núllíus_ and
+_núlló_ are regularly used.
+
+7. Alíquantum itinerís. See the note on 58, 5.
+
+10. in eó ... intráret. See the note on 52, 9.
+
+11. eí. Compare 49, 26, and 58, 2.
+
+14. Circés, a Greek form of the genitive.
+
+16. Num. See the note on 44, 20. Nónne (line 14) is used to introduce a
+question to which an affirmative answer is expected.
+
+18. núllís. See the note on 24, 3.
+
+22. tetigerit. See the note on 30, 20.
+
+tú ... faciás, 'see that you draw your sword and make an attack upon
+her.'
+
+24. vísús, 'sight,' The use of the plural is poetic.
+
+25. tenuem ... auram. The order of the words here is poetic.
+
+60. 1. atque, 'as.' After adjectives and adverbs denoting likeness and
+unlikeness, this use of _atque_ is regular.
+
+3. dépulsa est. See the note on 4, 26.
+
+4. sibi. See the note on 58, 11.
+
+11. ut ... erat, 'as he had been instructed,' more literally 'as had been
+enjoined upon him.' An intransitive verb must be used impersonally in the
+passive, for it is the direct object of the active voice that becomes the
+subject of the passive. If the intransitive verb takes a dative in the
+active, this dative is kept in the passive. Notice that the corresponding
+English verbs are transitive, and that the dative may therefore be
+rendered as the object in the active construction and as the subject in
+the passive.
+
+13. sénsisset. See the note on _vídissent_, 36, 15.
+
+14. sibi vítam adimeret, 'take her life.' The dative of reference is thus
+used after some compound verbs to name the person from whom a thing is
+taken. This construction is sometimes called the dative of separation.
+
+15. timóre perterritam. See the note on 14, 11.
+
+20. eí pedés, 'his feet.' See the note on 44, 10.
+
+21. imperásset, contracted from _imperávisset_.
+
+22. in átrium. See the note on 7, 3.
+
+26. sunt, goes with reductí.
+
+29. reliquís Graecís, indirect object of díceret.
+
+30. Circaeam. Notice that this use of the adjective instead of the
+genitive often cannot be imitated in the English rendering, but must be
+translated by the possessive case or a prepositional phrase.
+
+61. 8. eí persuásum sit, 'he was persuaded.' See the note on 60, 11. The
+clause ut ... manéret is the subject of persuásum sit; if the latter were
+active, the clause would be its object. For the tense of persuásum sit
+see the note on 19, 22.
+
+10. cónsúmpserat. See the note on 14, 3.
+
+patriae, objective genitive, to be rendered, as often, with 'for.'
+
+15. úsuí. See the note on 34, 20.
+
+23. antequam perveníret. We say 'before he could come.' See the note on
+_possent_, 27, 20.
+
+24. hóc locó. See the note on 24, 2.
+
+longum est. We say '_would_ be tedious' or '_would_ take too long.'

+This file should be named 8flrd10.txt or 8flrd10.zip

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+ways.

+you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.
+

+eBook, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright

+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,

+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
