Iupĭter, cum in thalămos uenit, Alcmenae retŭlit res gestas quas in Oechalia gessit. Ea, credens Iouem coniŭgem esse, cum eo concubŭit. Deus tam delectatus cum ea concubŭit ut unum diem usurparet, duas noctes congeminaret. Ita Alcmena tam longam noctem admirata est. Postea cum uerus uenit maritus ad domum, minĭme eum curauit Alcmena, quod iam putabat se coniŭgem suum uidisse. Amphitryon in regĭam intrauit et eam uidit securam. Tunc mirari coepit et queri, quia uxor eum comĭter non excepit. Marito Alcmena respondit: “Iam pridem uenisti et mecum concubuisti et mihi narrasti res gestas in Oechalia tuas”. Alcmena omnes res domi factas dixit. Tunc factum sensit dolum maritus: deus alĭqui fuit pro se4. Ex qua die cum ea non concubŭit5. Alcmena, ex Ioue compressa, pepĕrit Herculem.

Jupiter, when he came into the chamber, reported the matter to Alcmene the exploits which he performed in Oechalia. She, believing Jupiter to be her husband to be, she slept with him. God was so pleased that he slept with her that he might use one day, and spend two nights together. Yes Alcmena was surprised at such a long night. Later, when the real husband came to the house, I saw him Alcmena took care of him, because he already thought that she was his spouse to have seen Amphitryon entered the kingdom and saw it secure. Then he began to wonder and complain because his wife did not accompany him received Alcmena answered her husband: "You have come a long time ago and You slept with me and told me what had happened in Oechalia yours". Alcmena said all things were done at home. Then he felt done a deceitful husband: someone was a god for himself4. Since that day he has not been with her he slept5. Alcmene, pressed by Jupiter, gave birth to Hercules.
