Pallasne exurere classem Argivum atque ipsos potuit submergere ponto unius ob noxam et furias Aiacis Oilei? ipsa Iovis rapidum iaculata e nubibus ignem disiecitque rates evertitque aequora ventis; illum exspirantem transfixo pectore flammas turbine corripuit scopuloque infixit acuto;
Had Pallas power to burn up the Argive fleet and sink the sailors in the deep, because of one single mans guilt, and the frenzy of Ajax, son of Oileus? Her own hand hurled from the clouds Joves swift flame, scattered their ships, and upheaved the sea in tempest; but him, as with pierced breast he breathed forth flame, she caught in a whirlwind and impaled on a spiky crag.
