A Storm At Sea + Trigger Words Flashcards
haec
When he had spoken these words, having swung round his spear, he struck the hollow mountain on the side; and the winds, drawn up like an army, rushed out by the passage which he had made and blew over the earth in a whirlwind
Incubere
They swooped down on the sea and both the East and South wind, with the wind from Africa, full of hurricanes, rushed out altogether from their dwellings and rolled immense waves to shore.
insequitur
The shouting of men and creaking of rigging followed. Suddenly, the clouds snatched the sky and daylight away from the Trojans’ eyes: black night settled on the sea.
intonuere
The poles resounded with thunder and the heavens flashed with frequent lightening, and all these things threatened men with death before their eyes.
extemplo
Immediately, Aeneas’s limbs became numb with a chill; he groaned and stretching out both his hands towards the stars, he cried out these words: “Oh, you who are blessed three or four times over, whose fate it was to die in front of their fathers’ eyes under Troy’s high walls!
O Danaum
“Oh Diomedes, bravest of the Greeks! Could I not have fallen in the fields of Troy and, at your right hand, poured out my life where savage Hector lay beneath Achilles’s spear, where mighty Sarpedon was too, where the rive Simois swept away and rolled away in its waves, so many shields, helmets and brave bodies of men!”
talia
Whilst he was hurling out words like these, a screaming blast from the North wind struck the sail head on and raised the waves up to the stars:
fraguntur
the oars were shattered: then the prow swung round and exposed its hull to the waves: a steep mountain of water pressed on in a mass.
hi summo
Some ships were poised on the crest of the wave; for others, the wave, opening up, laid bare the sea bed between the waves and the swell seethed with sand.
tres Notus
The South wind carried off three ships and flung them onto hidden rocks (rocks in the middle of the sea which the Italians call the Altars, a dangerous ridge breaking the surface of the sea).
tres Eurus
The East wind drove three ships from the open sea into the shallows and the Syrtes, what a miserable sight to see, and it dashed them against the shallows and surrounded them with a mound of sand.
unam
The huge sea, from a great height, struck the stern of one ship, which was carrying the Lycrians and loyal Orontes, before the eyes of Aeneas himself.
excutitur
The helmsman fell overboard and was hurled headlong, face down, the sea spun his ship around three times, driving her round in the same place, then the swift whirlpool swallowed her into the deep sea.
apparent
Men, swimming, appeared here and there in the vast whirlpool, men’s weapons, planks and Trojan treasure were amongst the waves.
iam validam
Now the storm overcame Ilioneus’s sturdy ship, now brave Achates’s ship, sailed; since the joints in their sides were weakened, all the ships let in the hostile water and gaped open with cracks.
