Translated by Lein
Target language: English

This is where the Simois flowed, here is the Sigeian land, here stood the high kingdom of old king Priamus.
Remarks about the translation
et should be ‘est’.

This is a quote from Ovid's Heroides. It also appears in Shakespeare’s The taming of the shrew’ where it is used completely out of context and with a bogus translation, giving a funny effect for those familiar with the original.

Simois: a Trojan river
sigeia tellus: Sigeum, where Achilles and Patroclus lived
