Exempla

““Incute vim ventīs submersāsque obrue puppēs,”

“Strike force against [them] with [your] winds, sink and overwhelm [the Trojan] ship-decks, and otherwise drive [their fleet] in divergent [directions] and dislocate [the sailors’] bodies in the deepest sea.” (Juno wants Aeolus (son of Hippotes), King of the Winds, to destroy the Trojan fleet now sailing to Italy. Note: The phrases “submersasque obrue” and “diversos et disice” both exemplify prolepsis, a reversal of the normal order of events.)
