Translation of "Aprestada" in English

E já de Tênedos partia a armada grega / para o ataque, aprestada e protegida / pela cúmplice ausência do luar, / buscando praias mais que conhecidas. / Logo que a capitânia ergue o fanal, / Sínon, de iníquos deuses favorito, / furtivamente solta os dânaos alojados / no infausto ventre, abrindo o claustro de madeira.

Meanwhile from neighbouring Tenedos once more, / beneath the tranquil moonbeam's friendly care, / with ordered ships, along the deep sea-floor, / back came the Argive host, and sought the well-known shore. / Forth from the royal galley sprang the flame, / when Sinon, screened by partial Fate, withdrew / the bolts and barriers of the pinewood frame, / and from its inmost caverns, bared to view, / the fatal horse disgorged the Danaan crew.
