I.12-33

There was an old city ( Tyrian colonists held it) // tenuere: tenuerunt //
 * //Aeneid// I.12-33**
 * Urbs antiqua fuit (Tyrii tenuere coloni) **

Carthage, facing in the distance Italy and the mouths of the Tiber , // anastrophe: contra Italiam (weird word order) // // tiberina: adj->like lavinia //
 * Karthago, Italiam contra Tiberinaque longe  **

wealthy in resources and very harsh with respect to its zeals // opum: gen. plural //
 * ostia, dives opum studiisque asperrima belli, **

Which alone Juno is said to have cherished more than all the lands with Samos esteemed less. // quam - acc sing // // fertur - (reported) passive // // coluisse - perfect active infinitive // // terris omnibus - ablative of comparison // // posthabita - perfect passive participle // // posthabita Samo - ablative absolute //
 * 15 quam Iuno fertur terris magis omnibus unam **** posthabita coluisse Samo. **

Here were her arms; here was her chariot // ellipses - fuit used twice as is illius // // illius - genitive //
 * hic illius arma, **** hic currus fuit; **

The goddess, then at that time, aims and cherishes this to be her kingdom for peoples, if the fates allow in any way.
 * hoc regnum dea gentibus esse,  **** si qua fata sinant, iam tum tenditque fovetque.  **

But indeed she had hear that a race was being derived form Trojan blood
 * Progeniem sed enim Troiano a sanguine duci  **

which would one day overturn the Tyrian (Carthaginian) citadels;
 * 20 audierat Tyrias olim quae verteret arces; **

from here, a people, widely ruling and proud in war, would come // still in the indirect statement //
 * hinc populum late regem belloque superbum **

for the destruction of Libyae (area Carthage is in) ; thus the Fates unrolled.
 * venturum excidio Libyae; sic volvere Parcas. **

Saturnia's daughter (Juno), fearing this and mindful of the old war (Trojan war), // Saturnia: adj->fem, nom, sing->Saturnian woman //
 * id metuens veterisque memor Saturnia belli,  **

which she had carried on as leader at Troy on behalf of her dear Argos (city in Greece dear to Juno representing Greece by metonomy)
 * prima quod ad Troiam pro caris gesserat Argis—  **

for not yet even had the reasons of her rage(s) and fierce pains
 * 25 necdum etiam causae irarum saevique dolores **

perished from her mind; the judgment of Paris stored up // can use singular verb with two singular subjects //
 * exciderant animo; manet alta mente repostum **

and the insult of her slighted beauty remain deep in her mind,
 * iudicium Paridis spretaeque iniuria formae,  **

and the hated race and the snatched up honors of Ganymede / the honors of snatched up Ganymede: // doesn't like troy because she likes Greece, Ganymede, Troy will later destroy Carthage, and Paris said she was ugly //
 * et genus invisum et rapti Ganymedis honores: **

angered over these things, she was keeping the Trojans, tossed about on the whole sea, // accensa: describing Juno, nom. sing. fem. //
 * his accensa super iactatos aequore toto  **

the remnants of the Greeks and of cruel Achilles, // Troas: acc. plural masc., Greek ending // // Danaum, immitis Achilli: both gen. //
 * 30 Troas, reliquias Danaum atque immitis Achilli, **

far away from Latium,
 * arcebat longe Latio, multosque per annos **

and they were wandering through many years, driven by fates around the all the seas. // maria omnia circum: anastrophe, reversed word order, prep. should be before object //
 * errabant acti fatis maria omnia circum.  **

To found the Roman race was of such a great difficulty.
 * tantae molis erat Romanam condere gentem. **
