Sea monsters in history discussed in Latin | Learn Latin | #53

Antiquis temporibus apud Graecos et

Romanos sub aqua multa

et mira latebant Sane

vobis noti sunt illi dei

Neptunus, Triton

et illa monstra

sirenes

et hydra illa quam interfecit

Hercules

Sed haud scio an omnium notissima sint illa

monstra Scylla et Charybdis

Fortasse putatis Scyllam et Charybdim

in mari medio esse

et ideo vexare Romanos et Graecos tantum

Di boni, ut erratis!

Nam Scylla et Charybdis

non in illo mari

sed extra oram maritimam Norvegicam

inveniuntur

Saeculo sexto decimo, Olaus ille magnus

archiepiscopus

idemque optimus scriptor et

rerum gestarum

investigator, dicamus

curavit edendam tabulam geographicam

quae vocatur 'charta marina'

Hac charta geographica vel tabula geographica

depingitur non modo Suetia sed

ceterae terrae quae ad

septentriones vergunt

Et

in hac charta marina inveniuntur

plurima

plurima monstra et beluae quae

sane terreant quemlibet nautam.

Idem scripsit opus maximum quod

inscribitur 'De gentibus

septentrionalibus historia'

et

cum alia tum caput scripsit

de piscibus et de piscibus maximis

de horrendis monstris

Sed qualia sunt?

"Horribilis etenim formae sunt,

capitibus quadratis,

undique spinosis et acutis

ac longis cornibus circumdatis,

instar radicis arboris

exstirpatae.

Decem aut duodecim cubitorum longitudine,

colore nigerrimo, praegrandibus

oculis, quorum ambitus octo

vel decem cubitos excedit.

Pupilla vero

unius cubiti

rubeum et flammeum colorem referens,

qui a longe in tenebrosis temporibus

inter undas veluti ignis

accensus piscantibus apparet.

Una harum

beluarum plures naves et grandes

fortissimis nautis confertas

facillime subvertit aut mergit."

Maxime vexabantur Norvegi

Maxime

Tantopere vexabantur Norvegi, vel fortasse

nautae Norvegorum

tantopere vexabantur ut

archiepiscopus Nidrosiensis

litteras ad papam scripserit

Cum litteris misit etiam caput

misit caput abscisum et sale

conditum

unius ex illis beluis

ut quodammodo haberet

documentum

huius

difficultatis qua laborabant miseri Norvegi

Ecce bestia!

Monstra autem marina non modo secundum

oras Norvegicas

non modo secundum oras Sueticas

sed etiam in lacibus

inveniuntur

In Suetia, est lacus qui vocatur

'lacus magnus'

qui est in Iämptlandiā

est pars Suetiae quae ad

septentriones fere

vergit

Et hoc monstrum est

quodammodo nostrum

Nessie: nonne Scoti

habent suum monstrum

iocundum, quod

quotannis sane vident

et nos quoque habemus nostrum

Et hoc vocatur 'Storsjöodjuret'

id est

'belua magni lacus'

Sed hoc monstrum per multa saecula

conspicitur

Et his annis

hoc monstrum, haec belua nefanda

ducenties et sexagies

conspecta est ab hominibus

et

anno milesimo nongentesimo octogesimo

sexto

lex, vel, ita, quodammodo lex

in Suetia lata est a re publica

ne liceret hoc monstrum

turbare, eius progeniem

tangere, eius nidum tangere

neve scilicet ipsum monstrum

interficere

Et

sed haec lex, non vera lex, sed haec lex

sublata est

anno bis milesimo quinto

Ergo nunc licet

nunc licet hoc monstrum

venari

Quo ruimus?

Sed unde traxerit originem

haec belva quae vocatur

belua magni lacus

quaeritis, nonne?

Anno milesimo sesgentesimo tricesimo

quinto

Mogen Pedersen

memoriae prodidit fabulam qua

tota res aperitur

Fuerunt duo daemones

silvestres, Suetice vocamus

'troll', sed dicamus daemones

silvestres,

Iata et Cata.

Et coquunt

per longum tempus potiones

varias

in aeno vel in cortina

maxima

Per multos annos hoc faciunt

Neque sciunt quid hac potione

futurum sit

Omnino nesciunt,

sed tum

subito

haec cortina, hoc aenum

edit sonum, strepitum

maximum

et evertitur

Et ex ipso

receptaculo erepit

monstrum

cum capite felino

et hoc monstrum, repens

ad lacum illum magnum

descendit.

Descendit in aquas, et sub aqua

ei bene est

Ergo crescit mirum in modum

crescit in miram magnitudinem

Magus quidam, nomine Kettil

Runske

ligat, vel vincit hoc monstrum

ad fundum

ne exire e lacu

ne suis finibus exire vel excedere posset et

homines prope habitantes

devoraret

Et hic magus

qui peritissimus erat

runarum magicarum

condidit lapidem

cum runis magicis

et hoc monstrum

dicitur tam diu

his magicis runis

vinctum esse

quam diu nemo intelleget

Ergo vehementer, summopere cavendum est

ne quis discat quid hae runae

significent: sane sunt homines

sunt homines qui putent se iam intellexisse

sed hoc falsum est, quia si intellexissent vere

quid scriptum esset, hoc monstrum

elapsum esset, et legeremus

ubique de

caedibus

quae fierent

Ergo, nolite discere has runas intellegere

Monstrum omnium maximum et horrendum

sine ulla dubitatione

est ille serpens Midgardensis

Hoc enim monstro non modo vexantur illae

terrae quae ad septentriones vergunt

sed totus orbis terrarum

Hic serpens filius est Loche

et Angerbodae gigantis

Idem est frater lupi illius

Feneris

Mox dei illi Asgardienses

intellexerunt quantum periculum

hic serpens Midgardensis esset

et eum

in altum mare deturbaverunt

deiecerunt

Tamen

crevit in maximam magnitudinem

ut totum orbem terrarum

comprehenderet corpore suo

In fabulis vetustioribus septentrionalibus

multa narrantur de deo Thoro

Olim ivit piscatum

una cum

gigante nomine Hymer

Sed Thor non piscabatur, non

petebat pisces solitos

sed ingentem illum

serpentem

Ergo esca usus est

capite

capite taurino

et deinde

dum in navicula sunt

Thor et Hymer subito

capiunt

hunc anguem, hunc serpentem

Sed Hymer perterritus statim

incidit vel abscidit linum

quo hamus fixus erat

et in hamo, sane, erat illud caput

Et sic elabitur serpens

e manibus

Thoro

Multo postea Thor, sive Thorus

et serpens ille

in singulare certamen venerunt

et alter alterum interfecerunt

Et fuit illud tempus ultimum extremum

quod vocatur 'Ragnarök'

Sed fortasse dixerit quispiam esse triste

sic hanc fabulam finire

Sed non est triste

quia Thorus vicit

illum serpentem

Et

oportet caveatis nunc bestias maritimas

et bestias etiam in lacibus

et omnino mihi videtur

videtur aqua cavenda, ne forte

lateat quaedam bestia quae vos

devoret

Bene valete

tantum'st

Ergo vehementer, summopere cavendum est Therefore, we must be very, very careful

ne quis discat quid hae runae let no one learn what these runes are

significent: sane sunt homines they mean: of course they are human beings

sunt homines qui putent se iam intellexisse there are people who think they have already understood

sed hoc falsum est, quia si intellexissent vere but this is false, because if they had really understood

quid scriptum esset, hoc monstrum what was written, this monster

elapsum esset, et legeremus it would have passed, and we would read

ubique de everywhere about

caedibus

quae fierent what would happen

Monstrum omnium maximum et horrendum The greatest and most terrible monster of all

sine ulla dubitatione without any doubt

est ille serpens Midgardensis He is the serpent of Midgard

gigante nomine Hymer a giant named Hymer

Sed Thor non piscabatur, non But Thor was not fishing, no

petebat pisces solitos he asked for the usual fish

Sed Hymer perterritus statim But Hymer was immediately frightened

incidit vel abscidit linum cut or cut off the thread

quo hamus fixus erat to which the hook was fixed

quia Thorus vicit because Thorus won

illum serpentem that snake

Et And

oportet caveatis nunc bestias maritimas you must now beware of the sea beasts

et bestias etiam in lacibus and the beasts also in the lakes

et omnino mihi videtur and it seems entirely to me

videtur aqua cavenda, ne forte it seems that water should be avoided, lest by chance

lateat quaedam bestia quae vos a certain beast that you

devoret will devour

Bene valete Good health

tantum'st so much
