Deiecit maestos extemplo Ismenius heros in terram vultus, taciteque ad Tydea laevum obliquare oculos; tum longa silentia movit: non super hos divum tibi sum quaerendus honores, unde genus, quae terra mihi, quis defluat ordo sanguinis antiqui: piget inter sacra fateri.
Forthwith the Ismenian hero cast sad eyes down to earth and silently looked askance at Tydeus on his left. Then he broke a lengthy silence: Not at this divine worship should you ask whence my breed, what my country, what line of ancient blood flows down. It irks me to confess it amid the ritual.
