(GCSE) Nisus and Euryalus - Section 3 (Secondary) Flashcards
nec minor Euryali caedes; incensus et ipse
No less was the slaughter of Euryalus; he himself also on fire
perfunit ac multam in medio sine nomine plebem,
raged in frenzy and in the middle of the great crowd without a name
Fadumque Herbesumque subit Rhoetumque Abarimque
he went for Fadus and Herbesus, and Rhoetus and Abaris,
ignaros; Rhoetum vigilantem et cuncta videntem,
most of whom were unaware; except Rhoetus who was awake and saw everything,
sed magnum metuens se post cratera tegebat
but he hid himself behind a large bowl in fear.
pectore in adverso totum cui comminus ensem
Euryalus close up buried his whole sword in the enemy’s chest
condidit adsurgenti et multa morte recepit
just as he was getting up, and withdrew it thick with death.
purpuream vomit ille animam et cum sanguine mixta
That man Rhoetus threw up his life in deep red,
vina refert moriens, hic furta feruidus instat.
dying he brought up wines with blood mixed in, while Euryalus pressed on enthusiastically but secretly.
