Flebilis interea vacuis comitatus ab Argis (Fama trahit miseras) orbae viduaeque ruebant Inachides ceu capta manus; sua vulnera cuique, par habitus cunctis, deiecti in pectora crines accinctique sinus; manant lacera ora cruentis unguibus, et molles planctu crevere lacerti.
Meanwhile from empty Argos comes hastening a tearful company (Rumour brings the poor souls), the bereaved and widowed daughters of Inachus, like a band of captives. Each has her own wounds, all a like guise: their hair hangs down upon their bosoms, their gowns are girt up, their torn faces stream from bloody nails, their soft arms are swollen with blows.
