Ecce secat Zephyros ingentem fraxinus iram fortunamque ferens; teli non eminet auctor: Astacides Melanippus erat, nec prodidit ipse et vellet latuisse manum, sed gaudia turmae monstrabant trepidum; nam flexus in ilia Tydeus summissum latus et clipei laxaverat orbem.
See, an ashen spear cleaves the Zephyrs bearing mighty wrath and mighty fortune, but the weapons sender is not apparent. It was Melanippus, son of Astacus. He himself did not give away his handiwork and would fain that it stay hidden, but the joy of his troop revealed him as he trembled. For Tydeus had bent his sunken side over his groin and let his round shield slip.
