Book 10.762-768
Mezentius proceeds like the giant Orion walking through the ocean or coming down from a mountain.
At vero ingentem quatiens Mezentius hastam
762
turbidus ingreditur campo. Quam magnus Orion,
763
cum pedes incedit medii per maxima Nerei
764
stagna viam scindens, umero supereminet undas
765
aut summis referens annosam montibus ornum
766
ingrediturque solo et caput inter nubila condit:
767
talis se vastis infert Mezentius armis.
