200. PERSEUS AND ANDROMEDA (Concluded)
First learn the special vocabulary, p. 290. Read the whole story.
Perseus semper proelio studebat[3] et respondit,[3] “Verba tua sunt maxime grata,” et laetus arma sua magica paravit.[3] Subito monstrum videtur; celeriter per aquam properat et Andromedae adpropinquat. Eius amici longe absunt et misera puella est sola. Perseus autem sine mora super aquam volavit.[3] Subito descendit[3] et duro gladio saevum monstrum graviter vulneravit.[3] Diu pugnatur,[4] diu proelium est dubium. Denique autem Perseus monstrum interfecit[3] et victoriam reportavit.[3] Tum ad saxum venit[3] et Andromedam liberavit[3] et eam ad Cepheum duxit.[3] Is, nuper miser, nunc laetus, ita dixit[3]: “Tuo auxilio, mi amice, cara filia mea est libera; tua est Andromeda.” Diu Perseus cum Andromeda ibi habitabat[3] et magnopere a toto populo amabatur.[3]
[Footnote 3: See if you
can explain the use of the perfects and
imperfects in this passage.]
[Footnote 4: The verb pugnatur means, literally, it is fought; translate freely, the battle is fought, or the contest rages. The verb pugno in Latin is intransitive, and so does not have a personal subject in the passive. A verb with an indeterminate subject, designated in English by it, is called impersonal.]

THE PASSIVE PERFECTS OF THE INDICATIVE
THE PERFECT PASSIVE AND FUTURE ACTIVE INFINITIVE
