ille in mediis sic orsus Achivis: nec ferus Aeetes, ut fama, nec aurea nobis terga negat; bello interea sed pressus iniquo auxilium petit; armatos dux protinus omnes adcelerare iubet; longo nam tuta recessu puppis et adposita fluvius defenditur urbe.
And thus began he in the midst of the Achaeans: Aeetes is no savage, as rumour has it, nor does he deny us the golden fleece: but meantime under pressure of adverse war he seeks our aid; our chief bids arm and straightway hasten; for the ship is safe in her distant hiding-place, and the nearness of the city assures the rivers safety.
