Quote

“Actaeon is sitting in the shrubbery at the source in a forest

Covertly contemplating bathing nude Diana […]

The light from Goddess illuminates dark thicket.

Though Diana is not happy about the sneaking stare […]

So she lets down dense curls on her wet body,

Her sorcery turns Actaeon into a horny deer

And she turns on him the pack of her dogs

Now it’s Diana who is contemplating the torture of the deer

And the dense thickets of the Ida mountains

Lament the death of Actaeon”. (pg. 32)
