Met. 13.705Inde recordātī Teucrōs ā sanguine Teucrī
dūcere prīncipium, Crētam tenuēre locīque
ferre diū nequiēre Iovem, centumque relictīs
urbibus Ausoniōs optant contingere portūs:
saevit hiems iactatque virōs, Strophadumque receptōs
710portubus īnfīdīs exterruit āles Aellō.Then, remembering that the Teucrians took their origin from the blood of Teucer, they reached Crete, and could not long bear the climate of the place, and, leaving its hundred cities behind, they long to reach the Ausonian harbours: a storm rages and tosses the men, and when they had been received in the treacherous harbours of the Strophades, the winged Aello terrified them. Met. 13.711Et iam Dūlichiōs portūs Ithacamque Samonque
Nēritiāsque domus, regnum fallācis Ulixis,
praeter erant vectī: certātam līte deōrum
Ambraciam versīque vident sub imāgine saxum
715iūdicis, Actiacō quae nunc ab Apolline nota est,
vōcālemque suā terram Dōdōnida quercū
Chaoniōsque sinūs, ubi nātī rēge Molossō
inpia subiectīs fūgēre incendia pennīs.And now they had sailed past the Dulichian harbours and Ithaca and Samos and the homes of Neritos, the kingdom of deceitful Ulysses: they see Ambracia, fought over in a dispute of gods, and the rock in the likeness of the transformed judge, now famous for Actian Apollo, and the land of Dodona, vocal with its oak, and the Chaonian bays, where the sons of the Molossian king escaped impious fires on wings set beneath them.
Met. 13.719Proxima Phaeācum fēlīcibus obsita pōmīs
720rūra petunt, Ēpīros ab hīs regnātaque vātī
Būthrōtos Phrygiō simulātaque Troia tenētur.They make for the nearby fields of the Phaeacians, planted with fruitful orchards; next Epirus, and Buthrotos, ruled by the Phrygian seer, and a counterfeit Troy are reached. Met. 13.722Inde futūrōrum certī, quae cūncta fidēlī
Priamidēs Helenus monitū praedīxerat, intrant
Sīcaniam: tribus haec excurrit in aequora pinnīs,
725ē quibus imbriferōs est versa Pachynos ad austrōs,
mollibus expositum zephyrīs Lilybaeon, ad arctōs
aequoris expertēs spectat boreamque Pelōros.Then, certain of the future, all of which Priam's son Helenus had foretold with faithful advice, they enter Sicania: it runs out into the sea in three points, of which Pachynos is turned towards the rainy south winds, Lilybaeum lies exposed to the soft west winds, and Pelorus looks towards the Bears that never touch the sea and towards the north wind. Met. 13.728Hāc subeunt Teucrī, et remīs aestūque secundō
sub noctem potītur Zanclaea classis harēnā.Here the Teucrians come in, and with oars and favouring tide at nightfall the fleet reaches the sand of Zancle.
Met. 13.730Scylla latus dextrum, laevum inrequiēta Charybdis
īnfestat: vorat haec raptās revomitque carīnās,
illa ferīs ātram canibus succingitur alvum,
virginis ōra gerēns, et, sī nōn omnia vātēs
ficta relīquērunt aliquō quoque tempore virgō.Scylla infests the right side, restless Charybdis the left: the one swallows ships she has seized and vomits them back, the other has her black belly girdled with savage dogs, bearing a maiden's face, and, if the poets have not left us everything invented, she was at one time also a maiden. Met. 13.735Hanc multī petiēre procī;Many suitors sought her; Met. 13.735quibus illa repulsīs
ad pelagī nymphās, pelagī grātissima nymphīs,
ībat et ēlūsōs iuvenum narrābat amōrēs.she, rejecting them, used to go to the nymphs of the sea, most dear to the sea-nymphs, and tell them of the young men's love she had eluded. Met. 13.738Quam, dum pectendōs praebet Galatēa capillōs,
tālibus adloquitur, referēns suspīria, dictīs:
740"Tē tamen, ō virgō, genus haud inmīte virōrum
expetit, utque facis, potes hīs impūne negāre;While Galatea offers her hair to her to be combed, she addresses her with such words, sighing: 'You, at least, maiden, are wooed by no ungentle race of men, and you can refuse them, as you do, with impunity; Met. 13.742At mihi, cui pater est Nēreus, quam caerula Dōris
ēnīxa est, quae sum turbā quoque tūta sorōrum,
nōn nisi per lūctūs licuit Cyclōpis amōrem
745effugere," — et lacrimae vōcem impediēre loquentis.but I, whose father is Nereus, whom sea-blue Doris bore, who am kept safe also by a crowd of sisters, could not escape the love of the Cyclops except through grief' — and tears stopped the voice of the speaker.
Met. 13.746Quās ubi marmoreō dētersit pollice virgō
et sōlāta deam est, "refer, ō cārissima," dīxit.When the maiden had wiped them away with her marble-white thumb and comforted the goddess, she said, 'Tell me, dearest one. Met. 13.748"nēve tuī causam tege (sīc sum fīda) dolōris!"And do not hide the cause of your grief (so trustworthy am I)!' Met. 13.749Nērēis hīs contrā resecūta Crataeide nātam est:The Nereid answered the daughter of Crataeis in turn with these words:
