Is it a meme?

It's a literary translation

>>24947047
I prefer A.D. Melville's, but both are good. Her word choices are a bit pedestrian and the lack of indication of the original lines is annoying for cross-referencing.

I know Latin. I don't need a translation.

he lines are numbered

It doesn't seem like pedestrian word choice to me

>She breaths dark, toxic venom through her bones
>and scatters poison deep inside her lungs.
>To give her jealousy a focal point,
>she makes her see her sister, and her sister’s
>auspicious marriage, and the god, depicted
>gorgeously. She makes everything look grand.
>Goaded by this, Aglauros is consumed
>by hidden grief. She groans with anguish day
>and night, and melts away most wretchedly
>in slow decay, like ice in broken sunlight.
