Mons erat audaci seductus in aethera dorso (nomine Lernaei memorant Aphesanta coloni) gentibus Argolicis olim sacer; inde ferebant nubila suspenso celerem temerasse volatu Persea, cum raptos pueri perterrita mater prospexit de rupe gradus ac paene secuta est.
A mountain there was whose bold ridge drew away into the ether (the husbandmen of Lerna call it by the name of Aphesas), long time sacred to the Argive folk. They used to say that from it swift Perseus violated the clouds as he hovered in flight,  while his terrified mother saw from the crag her boys rapt steps and almost followed.
