Aeneid 1 Flashcards
opera omnia rumpit laetitia exsultans horrendumque intonat armis:
he breaks off all tasks, exalting with joy, and he thunders, dreadful in arms:
at pater Aeneas audito nomine Turni deserit et muros et summas deserit arces praecipitatque moras omnes,
But father Aeneas, having heard the name of Turnus, both abandons the walls and abandons the lofty towers, and throws aside all delays;
quantus Athos aut quantus Eryx aut ipse coruscis cum fremit ilicibus quantus gaudetque nivali vertice se attollens pater Appenninus ad auras.
as great as Athos, or as great as Eryx, or as great as father Appeninus himself, when he roars with waving oaks and rejoices, uplifting himself with his snowy top to the winds.
