quin fugitis, dum tuta via est, Lernamque reversae nomina, quod superest, vacuis datis orba sepulcris absentesque animas ad inania busta vocatis, aut vos Cecropiam (prope namque et Thesea fama est Thermodontiaco laetum remeare triumpho) imploratis opem?.
Why not flee while the way is safe and return to Lerna and give orphaned names'all that remains'to the empty sepulchres and summon the absent spirits to the vacant tombs? Or why not implore Cecropian aid'for it is close by and tis rumoured that Theseus is joyfully returning from victory by Thermidon?
