Take Home Test 64

Line 1-more than 24
Once pine trees sprung from Pelion's vortex
They say that they float through the clear, surging waves of Neptune
Through Phasidos river and the country Aeeteos,
When the chosen youth, the strongest of the adult population,
They choose the golden Colchis turn away skin
When the chosen young man, the strongest of Argive adult population,
Desiring to go away from the Colchis golden fleece
They dared to sail swiftly over salt seas with ships
One the flat, blue salt water with wooden oars
For the goddess who holds the fortresses of the city tops
She made a light wind for the flying chariot
Binding the bent wood into the framework
TheAmphitriten's first rough voyage
she sailed with her beak over the windy sea
and the waves were tortured by the oars and grew white with foam
they looked up from the foaming whirlpool of waves
and the Nereids admired the strange thing
the mortal eyes saw by no other light than the sea
with their eyes the naked nymphs
Then Pelius is said to have caught the fire of love with Thetis
Thetis did not look down upon human marriage
then the father himself knew that pelius must be married to thetis
oh heroes, you were born in the happiest of ages
of your good mothers, hail!
you, i often address you in song
and you are greatly blessed with a lucky marriage (pine) torch
and Oceanus, who circles the world with sea?
now when the awaited day was fulfilled

Lines 60-85
Who away from the weedy, gloomy darling of Minos,
like a marble figure of a bacchanical, look forward, alas
she looks forward and the waves of torment swell
nor does she keep the delicate yellow hair restrained with a headpiece
nor veiling her breast with a cloack
nor concealing her milky- white bosom with a girdle
all of whom slipped off with the turbulence of the sea
before her very feet the salty waves crashed
but neither her headpiece nor flowing cloak
cared not, but on thee, Theseus, with all her thoughts
with all of her spirit, with all of her mind was hanging
miserable, the persistence which grief maddens
joining together the difficult desires
That storm, wild from the occasion that Theseus
setting forth from the wild shores of Piraei
reached the Gortian palace of the lawless king
for they tell of old, driven by a cruel pestilence
to pay a penalty for the slaughter of Androgenoneae
Was to show the chosen youth for the slaughter
Cecropia wanted to give as a feast to the Minotaur
now when his narrow walls are troubled by these problems
Theseus chose to offer himself for his dear Athens
in front of the living corpses so that they could not be taken to Crete
