 * //Aeneid// I.469-493**



Not far away form here he, crying, recognizes the tents of Rhesus with their white cloths, //ecphrasis->story inside a story (looking at image and story comes out of image//
 * nec procul hinc Rhesi niveis tentoria velis  **

which (antecedent is tentoria), having been betrayed in his first sleep,
 * 470 agnoscit lacrimans, primo quae prodita somno **

the Cruel son of Tydides (Diomedes) was ravaging with much destruction,
 * Tydides multa vastabat caede cruentus, **

and he turned away the burning (not on fire) horses into the camps before
 * ardentesque avertit equos in castra prius quam  **

they had tasted the pastures of Troy and had drunk the Xanthus. //troy wouldn't have been destroyed if the trojans had let them do these because oracle said if they did troy wouldnt be//
 * pabula gustassent Troiae Xanthumque bibissent.  **

In another part, Troilus, fleeing, with his arms having been lost,
 * parte alia fugiens amissis Troilus armis, **

unlucky and unequal boy having met Achilles,
 * 475 infelix puer atque impar congressus Achilli, **

is carried by the horses and he clings to the empty chariot on his back,
 * fertur equis curruque haeret resupinus inani,  **

nevertheless holding the reins; his neck and hair are dragged along the ground
 * lora tenens tamen; huic (// dat. of reference //) cervixque comaeque trahuntur  **

and the dust is marked with a turned spear.
 * per terram, et versa pulvis inscribitur hasta.  **

Meanwhile the Trojan women were going to the temple of not impartial Pallas (Minerva) //litotes// //minerva pissed at trojans because part of judgement of paris//
 * interea ad templum non aequae Palladis ibant  **

with their disheveled hair, and were carrying a robe humbly,
 * 480 crinibus Iliades passis peplumque ferebant **

sad and (having been) beaten with respect to their chests by means of their hands; perfect passive participle is middle or //pectora is acc of respect//
 * suppliciter, tristes et tunsae pectora palmis;  **

the goddess, having turned away, was holding her eyes fixed on the ground.
 * diva solo fixos oculos aversa tenebat.  **

Achilles had dragged hector around the trojan walls thrice
 * ter circum Iliacos raptaverat Hectora muros **

and was selling the lifeless body for gold. //subject far away is emphatic//
 * exanimumque auro corpus vendebat Achilles.  **

Then indeed, he gives a huge groan from the bottom of his heart as he noticed
 * 485 tum vero ingentem gemitum dat pectore ab imo, **

the plunders, the chariots, and the body itself of his friend //tricolon: ut//
 * ut spolia, ut currus, utque ipsum corpus amici **

and (he noticed) Priam extending his unarmed hands.
 * tendentemque manus Priamum conspexit inermes.  **

He also recognized himself mixed with the Greek leaders
 * se quoque principibus permixtum agnovit Achivis,  **

//so awesome that you are in the pictures//

and the Eastern armies and the arms of black Memnon.
 * Eoasque acies et nigri Memnonis arma.  **

Penthesilea, raging, leads the battle lines of the amazons with crescent shaped shields //Penthesilea was crazy good warrior (like other amazons was missing one breast for bow and arrow)//
 * 490 ducit Amazonidum lunatis agmina peltis **

and she burns (//like with passion)// in the middle of thousands,
 * Penthesilea furens mediisque in milibus ardet, **

a warrior fastening the gold belts under the exposed breast,
 * aurea subnectens exsertae cingula mammae **

and the virgin dares to fight among men.
 * bellatrix, audetque viris concurrere virgo. **
