LSP - 10 : Juno does not love Hercules

Hercules is only a small infant sleeping with his bother in a shield, but Juno sends a snake to kill him. The little story below will tell you a little of what happened on that night. I will tell you now that snake in the Casus Nominativus is written serpens and it is written serpentem in the Casus Accusativus. You will need to look the up the meanings of the Verbs in the ‘dictionary’ bellow. nota bene : in cunīs means in a cradle.

Herculēs in Graeciā habitat. Hercules nōn in cūnīs cubat. Herculēs et Īphiclēs in scūtō dormiunt. Iūnō in Olympō habitat. Iūnō Herculem nōn amat. Iūnō serpentem mittit. serpens appropinquat. serpens scutum movet. Herculēs et Īphiclēs serpentem vident. Īphiclēs exclamat. Herculēs nōn exclamat. Herculēs serpentem prehendit et comprimit. serpentem interfecit. Herculēs ridet.
