Context:
“And now Theseus, drawing close to his native land in a laurelled chariot after fierce battle with the people, is heralded by glad applause and the shouts of the people flung to the heavens and the merry trump of warfare that has reached its end.

“
yeah, that's a pretty good gloss for the phrase.
@oristarA,
"heavens" here means "sky" so "shouts of the people flung to the heavens" means "shouts yelled into the sky".
Thank you.
Does "the merry trump of warfare that has reached its end" mean "the sound of celebrating victory has been loudest"?
@oristarA,
The happy celebration of a war that is over.
