Aenied Paragraph 6

Question 1

hic vasto rex Aelous antro
lunctantes ventos tempestatesque sonoras
imperio premit ac vinclis et carcere frenat

Answer 1

Here king Aeolus in a vast cave
holds down the brawling winds and the howling storms
with his power , and restrains them with chains in a prison

” vasto … antro “ enclosing word order , also Hyperbeton , physically splitting up large and carve , to show its a large cave.

Line 2 is spondaic, slow as only four words.

” imperio “ - enjambment

polysyndeton - “ vinclis “ and “ carcere “ - doubled up, not needed.

” premit “ and “ frenat “ - encasing the sentence - restraining

Question 1

talia flammato secum dea corde volutans
nimborum in patriam, loca feta furentibus Austris
Aeolium venit

Answer 1

As the goddess turned over such thoughts to herself in her inflamed heart
she came to the homeland of the clouds , a region teeming with raging storm winds
Aelioia

” flammato “ - link to earlier line 29 “ accenso” - still burning with anger

corde - links to earlier “ pectore “

Alliteration of “ feta furentibus “ - to create sound of wind
