Meanwhile Neptune sensed that the sea was being upset with a great murmur and the storm having been sent out, and that the still waters had been churned up, and having been seriously inflamed, he lifted up from the depths his calm head onto the flat sea. He sees the scattered fleet across the whole sea, and the Trojans having been oppressed by the waves and the crashing sky; and neither the tricks nor the anger of Juno were concealed from her brother. He calls the east wind and the south wind to himself then he says such things:

     "Does such trust of your family hold you all? Do you winds still dare to mix up the sky and the earth, without my divine will, and lift up such a great massive upheaval? What I - but first it is necessary to compose the waves having been moved. After this you will pay to me for your misdeeds with no like punishment. Hasten your flight and say these things to your king. Not to that one (him) has been given by chance rule over the sea and the savage trident, but given to me. He holds the huge rocks of the winds, your home, Eurus; let Aeolus lie there in that palace, let him rule in the closed prision of the winds."

     Thus he spoke, and with a word he more quickly calmed the swollen sea and dispelled the clouds having been gathered and restored the sun. At the same time, Cymothoe and Triton, having made an effort, pushed away the ships from the sharp rock; he (Neptune) himself lifted the trident and opened the vast sand bars and restrained the sea and glided over the greatest waves with light wheels.

     Just as often a rebellion rose up among a huge crowd and the mob rages in their hearts and yet rocks and torches fly through the air, frenzy provides weapons;  then, if they catch sight of a man revered because of his devotion to duty and services, they grow slilent, and stand still with attentive ears; the man rules minds with his speakeing and calms hearts - thus the whole crashing of the sea subsided, after the father looking out over the sea drove out under the open sky and turned his horses, and flying gave free reign to his rushing chariot.
