Aen. 5.244Tum satus Anchīsā, cūnctīs ex mōre vocātīs,
245victōrem magnā praecōnis vōce Cloanthum
dēclārat viridīque advēlat tempora laurō,
mūneraque in nāvēs ternōs optāre iuvencōs,
vīnaque et argentī magnum dat ferre talentum.Then the son of Anchises, summoning all according to custom, proclaims Cloanthus victor by the loud voice of a herald and veils his temples with green laurel, and gives as gifts for the ships three bullocks of their choice, and wine, and a great talent of silver to carry off. Aen. 5.249Ipsīs praecipuōs ductōribus addit honōrēs:
250victōrī chlamydem aurātam, quam plūrima circum
purpura maeandrō duplicī Meliboea cucurrit,
intextusque puer frondōsā rēgius Īdā
vēlōcēs iaculō cervōs cursūque fatīgat,
ācer, anhēlantī similis, quem praepes ab Īdā
255sublīmem pedibus rapuit Iovis armiger uncīs;For the captains themselves he adds special honours: for the victor a cloak embroidered with gold, round which ran a broad border of Meliboean purple in a double meander, and woven into it the royal boy on leafy Ida tires swift stags with javelin and running, eager, like one panting; him Jupiter's swift armour-bearer has snatched aloft from Ida in his hooked talons; Aen. 5.256longaevī palmās nēquīquam ad sīdera tendunt
custōdēs, saevitque canum lātrātus in aurās.his aged guardians stretch their palms in vain towards the stars, and the barking of dogs rages into the air.
Aen. 5.258At quī deinde locum tenuit virtūte secundum,
levibus huic hāmīs cōnsertam aurōque trilīcem
260lōrīcam, quam Dēmoleō dētrāxerat ipse
victor apud rapidum Simoenta sub Īliō altō,
dōnat habēre virō, decus et tūtāmen in armīs.But to the man who then held second place by his prowess he gives, to keep, a corselet linked with smooth hooks and triple-woven with gold, which he himself as victor had stripped from Demoleos beside swift Simois under lofty Ilium, an ornament and protection in battle. Aen. 5.263Vix illam famulī Phēgeus Sagarisque ferēbant
multiplicem, cōnīxī umerīs;The attendants Phegeus and Sagaris could barely carry its many layers, straining with their shoulders; Aen. 5.264indūtus at ōlim
265Dēmoleos cursū pālantēs Trōas agēbat.yet wearing it, Demoleos once used to drive the scattered Trojans before him at a run. Aen. 5.266Tertia dōna facit geminōs ex aere lebētas,
cymbiaque argentō perfecta atque aspera signīs.For the third gifts he makes twin cauldrons of bronze, and bowls wrought in silver and rough with reliefs. Aen. 5.268Iamque adeō dōnātī omnēs opibusque superbī
pūniceīs ībant ēvīnctī tempora taenīs,
270cum saevō ē scopulō multā vix arte revolsus,
āmissīs remīs atque ōrdine dēbilis ūnō,
inrīsam sine honōre ratem Sergestus agēbat.And now all had received their gifts and were going proudly in their riches, their temples bound with crimson ribbons, when Sergestus, barely torn free from the cruel rock with much skill, his oars lost and crippled in one tier, was bringing in his ship, mocked and without honour.
Aen. 5.273Quālis saepe viae dēprēnsus in aggere serpēns,
aerea quem oblīquum rota trānsiit, aut gravis ictū
275sēminecem līquit saxō lacerumque viātor;As often a snake caught on the raised roadway, which a bronze wheel has run over aslant, or which a traveller has left half-dead and mangled with a heavy blow of a stone; Aen. 5.276nēquīquam longōs fugiēns dat corpore tortus,
parte ferōx, ārdēnsque oculīs, et sībila colla
arduus attollēns, pars volnere clauda retentat
nexantem nōdīs sēque in sua membra plicantem:
280tālī rēmigiō nāvis sē tarda movēbat;trying in vain to flee, it makes long writhings with its body, in part fierce, its eyes blazing, lifting high its hissing neck; part, crippled by the wound, holds it back as it twists in knots and folds itself upon its own limbs: with such oarage the ship moved slowly; Aen. 5.281vēla facit tamen, et vēlīs subit ōstia plēnīs.yet she makes sail, and enters the harbour mouth with sails full. Aen. 5.282Sergestum Aenēās prōmissō mūnere dōnat,
servātam ob nāvem laetus sociōsque reductōs.Aeneas presents Sergestus with the promised gift, glad that the ship was saved and his comrades brought back.
Aen. 5.284Ollī serva datur, operum haud ignāra Minervae,
285Cressa genus, Pholoë, geminīque sub ūbere nātī.He is given a slave woman, not unskilled in the works of Minerva, Cretan by birth, Pholoe, with twin sons at her breast.
