As the battle nears, Diana calls her nymph Opis and tells her the story of Camilla. Her father Metabus, hated for his tyranny, was driven out of Privernum and fled with his baby daughter in his arms. At the river Amasenus, swollen with rain, the enemy close behind, he tied the child to his great spear of seasoned oak.
Then, praying to Diana, he hurled the spear across the roaring water, swam after it and found his daughter safe on the far bank. He raised her among the shepherds on the milk of a wild mare, and she grew up a huntress with a bow and a sling. Solve seven puzzles from Book 11, and the last word is what he vowed her to be.
Crossword — Metabus' flight, the river and the girl brought up in the wild.
Anagrams — unscramble seven words from Diana's story.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — the imperfect, perfect and pluperfect of fugiō, ligō and iaciō.
Picture Count — reassemble the riverbank, then count what you see.
Odd One Out — find the word that doesn't belong in each row to build the story, then answer questions about it.
Final Rebus — one clue from every lock. Their first letters spell the final word.
Every answer box checks itself. Spelling and capitals are forgiving, and macrons are never needed.
Eighteen words from Diana's story. Every clue gives the English meaning; you supply the Latin. Fill the grid — every crossing letter must agree both ways. Seven cells are marked in red: once the grid is solved, their letters unscramble into one more word.
The grid is correct. Unscramble the seven red letters:
Seven words from Diana's story of Camilla. Unscramble each one.

Tibi hanc, nemorum cultrix, Lātōnia virgō, ipse pater famulam voveō: to you, guardian of the woods, maiden daughter of Latona, I, her father, vow her as your handmaid. And Diana kept her, until the war.
