necessitas tamen aditum luctui dedit: cum enim ingentis magnitudinis aper Olympi montis culta crebra cum agrestium strage vastaret, inusitatoque malo regium imploratum esset auxilium, filius a patre extorsit ut ad eum opprimendum mitteretur, eo quidem facilius quod non dentis sed ferri saevitia in metu reponebatur.

For when a boar of enormous size was wasting the cultivated areas of Mount Olympus with much slaughter of peasantry and in this unheard-of distress the royal succour was invoked, the son wrung from his father that he be sent to destroy the animal, and with the less difficulty because the fear lay in the cruelty of steel, not tusk.
