nondum illi Thebarum claustra subibant, et iam Argiva cohors nocturno freta triumpho prosilit in campos; per et arma et membra iacentum taetraque congerie sola semianimumque cruorem cornipedes ipsique ruunt: gravis exterit artus ungula, sanguineus lavat imber et impedit axes.
They were not yet at the barriers of Thebes when the Argive cohort, confident in the nights triumph, bounds into the field. Through the arms and members of the fallen and ground foul with heaps and blood of the half-alive the chargers and riders rush. The heavy hoof crushes limbs, a sanguinary rain washes and clogs the chariot wheels.
