Book 10.399-412
Rhoetus is killed as he flees in his chariot. The united courage of the Arcadians is like small brush fires joining together to ravage a forest.
Tum Pallas biiugis fugientem Rhoetea praeter
399
traicit. Hoc spatium tantumque morae fuit Ilo;
400
Ilo namque procul validam direxerat hastam,
401
quam medius Rhoeteus intercipit, optime Teuthra,
402
te fugiens fratremque Tyren, curruque volutus
403
caedit semianimis Rutulorum calcibus arva.
404
Ac velut optato ventis aestate coortis
405
dispersa immittit silvis incendia pastor,
406
correptis subito mediis extenditur una
407
horrida per latos acies Volcania campos;
408
ille sedens victor flammas despectat ovantis:
409
non aliter socium virtus coit omnis in unum
410
teque iuvat, Palla. Sed bellis acer Halaesus
411
tendit in adversos seque in sua conligit arma.
