non tamen ardentis Styri violentia cedit; hortatur socios media inter proelia divum: transferet ergo meas in quae volet oppida dotes Colchis? et Haemonius nobis succedet adulter? nec mihi tot magnos inter regesque procosque profuerit prona haud dubii sententia patris? an virtus praelata viri est et fortior ille quem sequitur? iungam igniferos sine carmine tauros, saevaque Echionii ferro sata persequar hydri.
Yet the red-hot fury of Styrus will not yield; in the midst of the battle of the gods he exhorts his men: Shall then the Colchian take my dowry to what towns she will? Shall a Haemonian adulterer supplant me? and amid so many kings and suitors shall the favouring judgment of her unhesitating sire have availed me naught? Or is his worth set above mine, and is he whom she follows the braver man? I would yoke fire-breathing bulls without enchantments, and pursue the savage offspring of the Echionian serpent with the sword.
