  3. Translation 183DaedalusintereāCrētēnlongumqueperōsus184exiliumtactusquelocīnātālisamōre185claususeratpelagō. “terrās licet” inquit “et undās186obstruat: et caelumcertēpatet; ībimusillāc:187omniapossideat: nōnpossidetāëraMīnos.” Meanwhile Daedalus, who was hating his long exile on Crete and was touched by a love of (for) (his) birth place, had been closed in by the sea. “Although he may barricade the lands and seas: still surely the sky lies open,” he said, “we will travel that way: he might possess everything: (but) Minos does not possess (control) the skies.”

For he placed wings in order having been begun (beginning) from the smallest , with the shorter (one) following the long(er), so that you might think that (they) grew on a slope.

At the same time the boy Icarus was standing (by) and, unaware that he was bringing about his own dangers (downfall), he was now grasping at the feathers, which the wandering air had moved, with a smiling face, now softening the yellow wax with (his) thumb, and hindering the wonderful work of (his) father with his own game.

I order you not to watch Booten nor Helicen and (nor) the sword of Orion (which) had been drawn/having been drawn 206 209 seize (follow) the (middle) path, with me (as) your leader! Equally* he gives the instructions of flying and he fits the unknown (unfamiliar/new/untested) wings to (on his) shoulders *pariter= “equally”, as in “at the same time as he…., he….”

Translation • inter opus monitūsquegenaemaduēre** senīlēs, • et patriaetremuēre** manūs; deditosculanātō • nōniterumrepetenda*** suōpennīsquelevātus • ante volatcomitīquetimet, between (his) work and (his) warnings, the cheeks of the old man grew wet, and (his) fatherly hands trembled; he gave kisses to his son (which) would never again be repeated and after he has been lifted (up) by the wings, he flies before (ahead of) (his son) and fears for (his) companion

  20. ‘Boōten’ (line 206) • Booten = Bootes • The constellation of the ‘Ox-Driver’ or ‘Plowman’ • Possibly the son of Demeter who ‘drove oxen’ into the constellation Ursa Major • The Big Dipper is the ‘plough with oxen’

  21. Helicen(line 207) • Helicen = Helice • The constellation Ursa Major (The Greater Bear) • The bear is Callisto, conquest of Jupiter turned into a bear by Juno. • Callisto’s son Arcas nearly shoots his bear- mother but Jupiter turns them both into constellations in order to avoid the murder

  22. strictumqueŌrīonisensem (line 207) • The constellation of Orion represents the mythic hunter Orion, son of Neptune • Orion claimed he would kill every animal on the planet, so Gaia (Terra) sent a giant Scorpion to slay him • Orion’s ‘sword’ (sometimes also thought of as a club) was the weapon used for hunting

And now Juno’s Samos was on the left part (left-hand side) (both Delos and Paros had been left behind (passed over))

The closeness of the fierce sun softens the sweet smelling wax chains of (his) wings; the wax had begun to melt:

That (boy) shakes (his) bare (upper) arms 227 • 228 • 229 • 230 and because he is lacking (flapping of) wings, he doesn’t seize/catch hold of any winds (breeze) and (his) lips shouting the name of (his) father are removed (overpowered) by the blue sea which pulled (got) (its) name from that (boy).

  31. Annotation and Mapping(21 annotations and 9 clauses) 231 at paterīnfēlix, neciampater, ‘Icare,’ dīxit, 232 ‘Icare,’ dīxit, ‘ubies? quātēregiōnerequīram?’ 233 ‘Icare’ dīcēbat: pennāsaspexit in undīs, 234 dēvōvitvesuāsartēs, corpusquesepulcrō 235 condidit, et tellūsānōmine dicta* sepultī. *dicta = dicta est

  32. R6 Class Translation 231 at paterīnfēlix, neciampater, ‘Icare,’ dīxit,232 ‘Icare,’ dīxit, ‘ubies? quātēregiōnerequīram?’233 ‘Icare’ dīcēbat: pennāsaspexit in undīs,234 dēvōvituesuāsartēs, corpusquesepulcrō235 condidit, et tellūsānōmine dicta* sepultī. 231 232 233 234 235 But the unhappy father, (who was) no longer a father, said ‘Icarus’ ‘Icarus’, he said, ‘where are you? In what region (place) should I look for you?’ ‘Icarus,’ he was saying: he looked at the feathers in the waves and settled the body in a tomb or cursed his own crafts/arts, and the land was called by the name of the sunken (boy).

  33. Cogitāte… • How do the following words have double meanings? Consider how Ovid uses the following words to create nuance in meaning by implying two different definitions for each word • artēs(line 235) • Daedalus curse his ‘crafts’ or creations (i.e. the wings), but also his (false) confidence in his own ‘skills’ which prompted him to go through with this plan that caused his son’s death • condidit(line 235) • Daedalus ‘settles’ Icarus’s body in a tomb and the tomb ‘establishes’ or ‘founds’ the new name for the land • tellūs(line 235) • The ‘land’ is the greater location in which Icarus is buried and which takes his name, but also the dirt ‘ground’ in which his body is interred • sepultī(line 235) • Icarus’ body is ‘buried’ in the earth but also has been killed by being ‘sunk’ or ‘immersed’ in water

  34. EXPLICĀTIO Question Types • There are five types of questions that make up explicatiōnēs: • Translation: Translate into clear, idiomatic English. There are high expectations since you have already seen and translated the text. • Annotation: Annotate to prove an understanding of the text’s grammar. • Summary: Paraphrase and include relevant details to prove understanding beyond translation. • Provide Context: Demonstrate knowledge of the whole text and/ or Roman culture by interpreting the narrative, actions, or concepts. • Analyze Language: Demonstrate an understanding of why the author has chosen certain words or expressions, the relationship between one word and the entire narrative, and poetic devices.

  35. THEMES in Ovid’s myth of Daedalus and Icarus • Temptation • Defiance • Responsibility • Risk and reward • Desire • Disobedience • Rebellion • Ambition • Desperation
