- "She herself hurled the swift lightning bolt of Jupiter from the clouds, scattered the boats, and overturned the seas with the winds; she snatched him in a whirlwind while he was breathing out flames from his pierced chest, and impaled him on a sharp rock."
- "She, hurling Jove's winged lightning, stirred the deep / and strewed the ships. Him, from his riven breast / the flames outgasping, with a whirlwind's sweep / she caught and fixed upon a rock's sharp crest."
"O raio rápido de Júpiter das nuvens / disparando, os navios dispersou, / os mares agitou com vendavais, / com turbilhão furioso arrebatou / aquele réu, de cujo peito traspassado / jorravam chamas; num rochedo pontiagudo / foi deixá-lo cravado. Isso ela fez!"
