ibat letumque inferre parabat ense furens rapto; venienti Oeneius heros impiger obiecta proturbat pectora parma, ac simul infrendens: siste hunc, vesane, furorem, quisquis es! et pariter Capaneus acerque reducto affuit Hippomedon rectoque Erymanthius ense, ac iuvenem multo praestringunt lumine; at inde agrestum pro rege manus.
Snatching up a sword and advancing, he was about to deal death in his rage, when the hero son of Oeneus went into action, pushing back the others chest with blocking shield and gnashing his teeth: Stop this madness, lunatic, whoever you are. Capaneus likewise was on the spot and fierce Hippomedon and the Erymanthian (sword drawn back the one, levelled the other), dazzling the young man with many a flash. From the other side a band of peasants rally to their king.
