Question 1

et iam Iūnōnia lævā
parte Samōs (fuerant Dēlosque Parōsque relictae)
dextra Lebinthos erat fēcundaque melle Calymnē,
cum puer audācī cœpit gaudēre volātū
deseruitque ducem cælīque cupīdine tractus
altius ēgit iter

Answer 1

And now Juno’s Samos was on the left
side (for Delos and Paros had been left behind)
and on the right was Lebynthos and Kalymnos rich in honey,
when the boy began to rejoice in his bold flight
and deserted his leader, and attracted by a desire for the sky
he took his path higher.

Question 2

rapidī vīcīnia sōlis
mollit odōrātās, pennārum vincula, cērās;
tabuerant cēræ: nūdōs quatit ille lacertōs,
remigiōque carēns non ullās percipit aurās,
oraque cæruleā patrium clāmantia nōmen
excipiuntur aquā, quae nōmen traxit ab illō.

Answer 2

The vicinity of the sun
softens the fragrant wax, the chains of the feathers;
the waxes had melted: he shakes his bare arms
and lacking oarage he takes up no air,
and his face shouting his father’s name
is swept up in the blue sea, which takes its name from him.

Question 3

at pater infēlix, nec iam pater, “Īcare,” dīxit,
“Īcare,” dīxit “ubi es? quā tē regiōne requīram?”
“Īcare” dīcēbat:

Answer 3

But the unlucky father, no longer a father, said “Icarus!”
“Icarus!” “where are you? In what region shall I seek you?”
“Icarus!” he kept saying:

Question 4

pennās aspexit in undīs
devōvitque suās artēs corpusque sepulcrō
condidit, et tellūs ā nōmine dicta sepultī.

Answer 4

he caught sight of feathers in the waves
and cursed his own arts and buried the body in a tomb,
and the land is called Icaria the name of the one buried there
