We scrambled up the high bank, in a miserable plight, to join in the general lamentation over the probable consequences of the accident.

He had the ship drawn up on the beach and he made sacrifices of thanksgiving to the gods. Then he sent messengers to the city to announce his return.

The mourning and the lamentation were for the death of the king, Theseus's father.
