Aen. 5.461Tum pater Aenēās prōcēdere longius īrās
et saevīre animīs Entellum haud passus acerbīs;Then father Aeneas did not allow the anger to go further, nor Entellus to rage with bitter spirit; Aen. 5.463sed fīnem imposuit pugnae, fessumque Darēta
ēripuit mulcēns dictīs, ac tālia fātur:
465Īnfēlīx, quae tanta animum dēmentia cēpit?but he put an end to the fight, and rescued the exhausted Dares, soothing him with words, and speaks thus: 'Unhappy man, what great madness has seized your mind? Aen. 5.466Nōn vīrēs aliās conversaque nūmina sentīs?Do you not feel that the strength is another's and the powers of heaven have turned? Aen. 5.467Cēde deō.Yield to the god.' Aen. 5.467Dīxitque et proelia vōce dirēmit.He spoke, and with his voice parted the fight. Aen. 5.468Ast illum fīdī aequālēs, genua aegra trahentem,
iactantemque utrōque caput, crassumque cruōrem
470ōre ēiectantem mīxtōsque in sanguine dentēs,
dūcunt ad nāvēs;But his loyal friends lead Dares to the ships, dragging his weak knees, tossing his head from side to side, and spitting from his mouth thick gore and teeth mixed with blood; Aen. 5.471galeamque ēnsemque vocātī
accipiunt;summoned, they receive the helmet and sword; Aen. 5.472palmam Entellō taurumque relinquunt.the palm and the bull they leave to Entellus.
Aen. 5.473Hic victor, superāns animīs taurōque superbus:
Nāte dea, vōsque haec inquit cognōscite, Teucrī,
475et mihi quae fuerint iuvenālī in corpore vīrēs,
et quā servētis revocātum ā morte Darēta.At this the victor, exultant in spirit and proud of the bull, said: 'Goddess-born, and you Trojans, learn this: both what strength was in my body in youth, and from what death you are saving Dares, called back.' Aen. 5.477Dīxit, et adversī contrā stetit ōra iuvencī,
quī dōnum adstābat pugnae, dūrōsque reductā
lībrāvit dextrā media inter cornua caestūs,
480arduus, effrāctōque inlīsit in ossa cerebrō.He spoke, and stood facing the bullock that stood by as the prize of the fight, and drawing back his right hand, rising high, swung the hard gauntlets between its horns, and smashed them into the bones, shattering the brain. Aen. 5.481sternitur exanimisque tremēns prōcumbit humī bōs.The ox is felled and, trembling and lifeless, falls to the ground. Aen. 5.482Ille super tālēs effundit pectore vōcēs:
Hanc tibi, Eryx, meliōrem animam prō morte Darētis
persolvō;Over it he pours such words from his breast: 'This better life I pay to you, Eryx, in place of Dares' death; Aen. 5.484hic victor caestūs artemque repōnō.here, victorious, I lay down the gauntlets and my art.'
