DAED’ALUS AND IC’ARUS (Concluded)

284. Puer Icarus una[2] stabat et mirum patris opus videbat.  Postquam manus ultima[3] alis imposita est, Daedalus eas temptavit et similis avi in auras volavit.  Tum alas umeris fili adligavit et docuit eum volare et dixit, “Te veto, mi fili, adpropinquare aut soli aut mari.  Si fluctibus adpropinquaveris,[4] aqua alis tuis nocebit, et si soli adpropinquaveris,[4] ignis eas cremabit.”  Tum pater et filius iter difficile incipiunt.  Alas movent et aurae sese committunt.  Sed stultus puer verbis patris non paret.  Soli adpropinquat.  Alae cremantur et Icarus in mare decidit et vitam amittit.  Daedalus autem sine ullo periculo trans fluctus ad insulam Siciliam volavit.

285. Ipse\ means _-self_ (_him-self, her-self_, etc.) or is translated by _even_ or _very_.  It is used to emphasize a noun or pronoun, expressed or understood, with which it agrees like an adjective.

    a. Ipse\ must be carefully distinguished from the reflexive
    sui\.  The latter is always used as a pronoun, while ipse\ is
    regularly adjective.  Compare

      Homo se videt, the man sees himself (reflexive)
      Homo ipse periculum videt,
        the man himself (intensive) sees the danger
      Homo ipsum periculum videt,
        the man sees the danger itself (intensive)
