Daphne Et Apollo Test Flashcards
Dixit et, ēliso percussīs āere pennīs, impiger umbrosa Parnasī constitit arce, ēque sagittiferā prōmpsit duo tēla pharetrā diversōrum operum. Fugat hoc, facit illud amōrem; quod facit, auratum est et cuspide fulget acūta , quod fugat, obtūsum est et habet sub harundine plumbum. Hoc deus in nympha Peneide fixit, at illo laesit Apollineas traiecta per ossa medullas.
He spoke, and after the air was shattered by his beaten wings, swiftly he stood firm on the shady summit of Mt. Parnassus, and out of his arrow bearing quiver he brought forth two weapons of different functions. This dispels love, that makes love; that which makes love is golden and shines with a sharp point, that which dispels love is blunt and has lead at the tip of the shaft. This one the god fixed into the nymph, child of Peneus, but with that he wounded the marrow of Apollo through pierced bones.
