EXAMPLE: Aeneid book I lines 9-11

Example question: Kinda confused on these lines and not really sure where to start. I think that “quidve” and “dolens”  and then “regina” and “deum” should be taken together and after that take “tot volvere casus” all together, but after that I don’t know what to do. Anyone with an idea of what I should do next please reply thanks.

Lines 9-12 Below:

‘quidve dolens, regina drum tot volvere casus insignem pietate virum, tot adire labores impulerit.’

  1. EXAMPLE REPLY: Hey I agree with what you said about what goes with what and then taking “tot volvere casus” as its own thing. After that I would look for a verb which happens to be on the next line “impulerit”. Also it’s important to recognize that “insignem” and “pietate” are describing “virum” so when you’re translating just make sure those words do that. Additionally I think that like “tot volvere casus” , “tot adire labores” is also its own thing.

    word order could be: impulerit–>virum–>insignem–>pietate–>[tot adire labores]
