Quis deus attonitae fraudes astumque parenti contulit? indocilem quae mens detraxit Achillem? Palladi litoreae celebrabat Scyros honorum forte diem, placidoque satae Lycomede sorores luce sacra patriis, quae rara licentia, muris exierant dare veris opes divaeque severas fronde ligare comas et spargere floribus hastam.
What deity bestowed artful trickery on the baffled mother? What mood  diverted stubborn Achilles. It fell out that Scyros was celebrating a day in honour of Pallas of the Beach. The sisterhood, daughters of mild Lycomedes, had left their native walls on the holy morning (a rare licence) to give springs riches to the goddess and bind her austere tresses with foliage and scatter flowers upon her spear.
