"No one hurls thunderbolts."

Translation: Nemo fulmina contorquet.

[FaizalZahid]

...sed Iuppiter

~Vir pius sacrificat~

[AJ72T]

Contorquere... what a great verb. I used 'iacit' and was wrong, but now I understand 'hurl' and 'throw' are different in meaning...

[candyslam]

I was under the impression that "contorqueo" has the implication of saying something harshly, like an insult, and not actually physically throwing anything? The usage of that there is a little misleading, since thunderbolts are a physical thing (and especially considering Romans, and Latin students, would think about Jupiter actually throwing them).

[pliaa2]

Fulmina here supposed to be in accusative form, no?

[-Copernicus-]

Yes, it's accusative. "Fulmina" is the plural form of "fulmen" and, like any neuter noun, is the same in the nominative and accusative. So "fulmina" is the plural accusative form as well.
