Now Oecles son remained in the lead and Admetus ceased to occupy the third position, when eventually returning from a broad range, the horse of the sea pushes ahead and surpasses both of them; though their happiness was short-lived. A clamor rises towards the heavens, the firmament shudders and every bench is exposed while the crowd springs to their feet.
