Sustinet, doubtless on the top
of the helmet, galea alta. In the colossal
statue of Athene in the Parthenon
at Athens she bore a sphinx on the top of
her helmet and a griffin on each side.

The facies are taken to be those
which Hercules saw in Tartarus, including
Typhoeus. But Typhoeus thrust down
to Tartarus or buried under Aetna can
hardly be called arduus arma tenens.
There must be an allusion to some conflict
between Hercules and Typhoeus not elsewhere
mentioned, or a different view of
the state of Typhoeus in Tartarus. Possibly
Virg. means to represent Hercules as
having taken part in the combat of the gods
and the giants: comp. Eur. H. F. 178, toi=si
gh=s blasth/masi *gi/gasi pleuroi=s pth/n'
e)narmo/sas be/lh *to\n kalli/nikon meta\ *qew=n
e)kw/mase. (See Preller, Griechische Mythologie
1, p. 58 foll.) He may have
thought of Horace's hymn to Bacchus,
2 Od. 19, where Bacchus' influence over
Cerberus is mentioned just after his
prowess against the giants: comp. the
word disiectae quoted on v. 290. Serv.
accepts the reference to the combat with
the giants, but, being perplexed by the
anachronism, interprets terruit as i. q.
terreret or terruisset. Arduus is
adverbi

Virg. supposes a submarine connexion
between Sicily and Hiera. Forb. condemns
this interpretation, without saying
why, and prefers to take Aetnaea qualia
sunt Aetnae. The difficulty was recognized
by Serv., one of whose views is that
the noise in Hiera is so great as to be
echoed by Aetna.

Torrens is applied to a violent
river from the connexion of the notions of
heat and vehement motion (comp. aestus).
Here advantage is taken of the
double meaning of the word to apply it to
the infernal river, which is described in
language taken partly from Acheron (6.
296), which is a violent muddy stream,
partly from Phlegethon (6. 550), which is
a river of fire. Comp. Plato Phaedo
p. 111, where the mixture of fire and mud
is illustrated from the eruptions of Aetna.
