Chapter 10 Test part 2

Nisus and Euryalus
Aeneas was leading the Trojans against the Rutulians. While it was night and the troops were sleeping, the leaders of the Trojans of the camps were having a planning session. Nisus and Euryalus, Trojan youth, dared to come. "Oh great men", says Nisus, "if you send Euryalus with me to the Rutulian camp, not only will we kill many men, but we will also snatch much loot out of that; for sleep has them." I praise the spirit and the courage of these rough youth!' called out Ilius, the son of Aneas. "Good-bye!"

Now Nis and Euryalus come into the camp of the Rutulians. They kill one, then many others. Euryalus antches a decoration, the other helmet. With that loot they flee. But Volcens, the leader of the Rutulians, sees those Trojans and calls the other Rutulians. The splendor of that helmet leads them to Euryalus. Nisus sees this danger and dares to protect his friend. He kills Volcen, but before that he kills Euryalus. Then they overcome the other Nisus; that body falls on top of the body of Euryalus.

Vergilius writes this whole story and these Trojans get perpetual fame.

Aurora and Tithonus
the goddess Aurora was loving Tithonus, a handsome hero. Therefore, she goes to Jupiter: "Oh king of hte gods", she says, "hear me!" My Tithonus is not a god; after a few years he will come to old age. If you will give that man perpetual life, I will always praise you." Foolish Aurora! You do not see the great danger of that gift. Jupiter gives Tithonus immortality, but that man, as long as he lives, he grows old. Time flies: Aurora is beutiful, Tithonus is not handsome. The body is no longer well,it is wrinkled and bent; his wisdom in spirit does not remain. What will Aurora do? Will she be able to restore the form of Tithonus? She thinks and takes consultation: Oh Tithouns, my love! You will change into a cricket; then you are able to bable wihtout blame. You live in that cage, I always love you."
