 		I recognize the latin from research I was just doing yesterday. The meaning is slightly different from what's already been posted.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is actually a quote from the Aneid by Virgil. It directly translates to "If I cannot bend Heaven, I shall move hell." It's a direct quote from book VII, Line 312 that can be found on this wikiquote page: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Virgil
If anyone's read it, provide insight on the context.


Edit:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeneid, summary of the poem in question. It seems to indicate that the object that fell from the sky may have been a kind of Trojan Horse type invasion.

I haven't read it in twenty years.

Did find this, though...

 		@ Carcharocles58:

You don't really need the spoiler tags in your last post BTW. It's not really a spoiler.
