Metamorphoses
Book 7, Line 22 by Henry T. Riley (English)
This, by the contrivance of his wife, the father Ægeus himself presented to his son, as though to an enemy. Theseus had received the presented cup with unsuspecting right hand, when his father perceived upon the ivory hilt of his sword the tokens of his race, and struck the guilty draught from his mouth. She escaped death, having raised clouds by her enchantments.
