‘ipsa Iovis rapidum iaculata e nubibus ignem
disiecitque rates evertitque aequora ventis,
illum exspirantem transfixo pectore flammas
turbine corripuit scopuloque infixit acuto.’
Translation:
‘She herself, having hurled Jupiter’s swift lightning from the clouds, both scattered the
boats and churned up the seas with winds; as for Ajax, as he breathed out flames from his
pierced chest, she snatched him up in a whirlwind and impaled him on a pointed rock.’
Virgil, Aeneid 1, lines 42–45
How does Virgil, by his style of writing, emphasise the power of Pallas Athena?
Make two points, each referring to the Latin.
