Aen. 9.717Hīc Mārs armipotēns animum vīrēsque Latīnīs
addidit et stimulōs ācrīs sub pectore vertit
immīsitque Fugam Teucrīs ātrumque Timōrem.Here Mars, mighty in arms, added courage and strength to the Latins, turned sharp goads in their breasts, and sent Flight and black Fear among the Teucrians. Aen. 9.720Undique conveniunt, quoniam data cōpia pugnae
bellātorque animō deus incidit.They gather from all sides, since the chance of fighting is given, and the warrior god comes into their hearts. Aen. 9.722Pandarus ut fūsō germānum corpore cernit
et quō sit fortūna locō, quī cāsus agat rēs,
portam vī magnā conversō cardine torquet,
725obnīxus lātīs umerīs, multōsque suōrum
moenibus exclūsōs dūrō in certāmine linquit;Pandarus, when he sees his brother's body laid out, and in what state fortune stands, what chance governs affairs, swings the gate on its turned hinge with great force, pushing with his broad shoulders, and leaves many of his own men shut out from the walls in the hard struggle; Aen. 9.727ast aliōs sēcum inclūdit recipitque ruentīs,
dēmēns, quī Rutulum in mediō nōn agmine rēgem
vīderit inrumpentem ultrōque inclūserit urbī,
730immānem velutī pecora inter inertia tigrim.but others he shuts in with himself and receives as they rush in, madman, not to have seen the Rutulian king bursting in in the middle of the column, and to have shut him into the city of his own accord, like a monstrous tiger among helpless cattle.
Aen. 9.731Continuō nova lūx oculīs effulsit, et arma
horrendum sonuēre;At once a new light flashed from his eyes, and his armour rang dreadfully; Aen. 9.732tremunt in vertice cristae
sanguineae, clipeōque micantia fulmina mittit:
agnōscunt faciem invīsam atque immānia membra
735turbātī subitō Aeneadae.the blood-red crests tremble on his head, and he sends glittering lightnings from his shield: the Aeneadae, suddenly thrown into confusion, recognise that hated face and those huge limbs. Aen. 9.735Tum Pandarus ingēns
ēmicat et mortis frāternae fervidus īrā
effātur: Nōn haec dōtālis rēgia Amātae,
nec mūrīs cohibet patriīs media Ardea Turnum.Then huge Pandarus leaps forward and, burning with anger at his brother's death, speaks out: 'This is not the palace of Amata, your dowry, nor does Ardea in its midst hold Turnus within his native walls. Aen. 9.739Castra inimīca vidēs;You see a hostile camp; Aen. 9.739nūlla hinc exīre potestās.there is no power to get out of here.' Aen. 9.740Ollī subrīdēns sēdātō pectore Turnus:
Incipe, Sīqua animō virtūs, et cōnsere dextram:
hīc etiam inventum Priamō narrābis Achillem.Smiling at him with a calm heart, Turnus says: 'Begin, if there is any courage in your heart, and join hands with me: you will tell Priam that here too an Achilles has been found.' Aen. 9.743Dīxerat.He had spoken.
Aen. 9.743Ille rudem nōdīs et cortice crūdō
intorquet summīs adnīxus vīribus hastam:
745excēpēre aurae volnus;The other, straining with all his strength, hurls his spear, rough with knots and raw bark: the winds received the wound; Aen. 9.745Sāturnia Iūnō
dētorsit veniēns, portaeque īnfīgitur hasta.Juno, Saturn's daughter, turned it aside as it came, and the spear sticks fast in the gate. Aen. 9.747At nōn hoc tēlum, mea quod vī dextera versat,
effugiēs;'But this weapon, which my right hand wields with force, you shall not escape; Aen. 9.748neque enim is tēlī nec volneris auctor.for not such is the author of this weapon and wound.' Aen. 9.749Sīc ait et sublātum altē cōnsurgit in ēnsem
750et mediam ferrō gemina inter tempora frontem
dīvidit inpūbēsque immānī volnere malās.So he speaks, and rises high to the uplifted sword, and with the steel cleaves the forehead in the middle between the two temples, and the beardless cheeks with a monstrous wound. Aen. 9.752Fit sonus, ingentī concussa est pondere tellūs:
conlapsōs artūs atque arma cruenta cerebrō
sternit humī moriēns, atque illī partibus aequīs
755hūc caput atque illūc umerō ex utrōque pependit.There is a crash; the earth is shaken by the huge weight: dying, he stretches on the ground his collapsed limbs and armour bloody with brains, and in equal halves his head hung this way and that from either shoulder.
