A few months or a few days later Apollonius consented at the urging of Stranguillio and his wife, Dionysias, and in accordance with the demands of Fortune to sail to the city of Pentapolis in Cyrene so that he could go into hiding there. And so Apollonius was conducted to his ship with full honors, and he bade the people farewell as he boarded the ship. Within two hours of his departure by ship the reassuring calm of the sea was changed.
Reassurance gave way to uncertainty.
A violent storm made the universe blaze red.
Aeolus occupied the plain of the sea with rain-producing winds and squalls.
The South Wind was darkened by pitch-black mist,
and it splintered the sides of all the ships and churned the eddying waters.
The North Wind blew, and the sea could no longer withstand the East Wind.
Sand was stirred up and swirled about in the sea.
As the waves crested and subsided,
everything was thrown into a mass of confusion.
The sea beat against the heavenly stars.
The storm intensifies.
Clouds, hail, snow, west winds, floods, lightning and thunder all occur at the same time.
Flames fly on the wind. The disturbed sea bellows.
Here the South Wind, there the North Wind, here the bristling wind of Africa, all threaten.
Neptune scatters the sands with his trident.
Triton sounds his awesome horn over the waves.*
