But whence each of the gods came to be, or whether all had always been, and how they appeared in form, they did not know until yesterday or the day before, so to speak; ,for I suppose Hesiod and Homer flourished not more than four hundred years earlier than I; and these are the ones who taught the Greeks the descent of the gods, and gave the gods their names, and determined their spheres and functions, and described their outward forms. ,But the poets who are said to have been earlier than these men were, in my opinion, later. The earlier part of all this is what the priestesses of Dodona tell; the later, that which concerns Hesiod and Homer, is what I myself say.
5.92. These were the words of the Lacedaemonians, but their words were ill-received by the greater part of their allies. The rest then keeping silence, Socles, a Corinthian, said, ,“In truth heaven will be beneath the earth and the earth aloft above the heaven, and men will dwell in the sea and fishes where men dwelt before, now that you, Lacedaemonians, are destroying the rule of equals and making ready to bring back tyranny into the cities, tyranny, a thing more unrighteous and bloodthirsty than anything else on this earth. ,If indeed it seems to you to be a good thing that the cities be ruled by tyrants, set up a tyrant among yourselves first and then seek to set up such for the rest. As it is, however, you, who have never made trial of tyrants and take the greatest precautions that none will arise at Sparta, deal wrongfully with your allies. If you had such experience of that thing as we have, you would be more prudent advisers concerning it than you are now.” ,The Corinthian state was ordered in such manner as I will show.There was an oligarchy, and this group of men, called the Bacchiadae, held sway in the city, marrying and giving in marriage among themselves. Now Amphion, one of these men, had a crippled daughter, whose name was Labda. Since none of the Bacchiadae would marry her, she was wedded to Eetion son of Echecrates, of the township of Petra, a Lapith by lineage and of the posterity of Caeneus. ,When no sons were born to him by this wife or any other, he set out to Delphi to enquire concerning the matter of acquiring offspring. As soon as he entered, the Pythian priestess spoke these verses to him:

None | 2.1.21. Aye, and Prodicus the wise expresses himself to the like effect concerning Virtue in the essay On Heracles that he recites to throngs of listeners. This, so far as I remember, is how he puts it: When Heracles was passing from boyhood to youth’s estate, wherein the young, now becoming their own masters, show whether they will approach life by the path of virtue or the path of vice, he went out into a quiet place, 2.1.22. and sat pondering which road to take. And there appeared two women of great stature making towards him. The one was fair to see and of high bearing; and her limbs were adorned with purity, her eyes with modesty; sober was her figure, and her robe was white. The other was plump and soft, with high feeding. Her face was made up to heighten its natural white and pink, her figure to exaggerate her height. Open-eyed was she; and dressed so as to disclose all her charms. Now she eyed herself; anon looked whether any noticed her; and often stole a glance at her own shadow. 2.1.23. When they drew nigh to Heracles, the first pursued the even tenor of her way: but the other, all eager to outdo her, ran to meet him, crying: Heracles, I see that you are in doubt which path to take towards life. Make me your friend; follow me, and I will lead you along the pleasantest and easiest road. You shall taste all the sweets of life; and hardship you shall never know. ''. None |

| 2.62. Those gods therefore who were the authors of various benefits owned their deification to the value of the benefits which they bestowed, and indeed the names that I just now enumerated express the various powers of the gods that bear them. "Human experience moreover and general custom have made it a practice to confer the deification of renown and gratitude upon of distinguished benefactors. This is the origin of Hercules, of Castor and Pollux, of Aesculapius, and also of Liber (I mean Liber the son of Semele, not the Liber whom our ancestors solemnly and devoutly consecrated with Ceres and Libera, the import of which joint consecration may be gathered from the mysteries; but Liber and Libera were so named as Ceres\' offspring, that being the meaning of our Latin word liberi — a use which has survived in the case of Libera but not of Liber) — and this is also the origin of Romulus, who is believed to be the same as Quirinus. And these benefactors were duly deemed divine, as being both supremely good and immortal, because their souls survived and enjoyed eternal life. ''. None |

Quocirca optimo quisque et splendidissimo ingenio longe illam vitam huic anteponit. Ex quo efficitur hominem naturae oboedientem homini nocere non posse.''. None | 3.25. \xa0In like manner it is more in accord with Nature to emulate the great Hercules and undergo the greatest toil and trouble for the sake of aiding or saving the world, if possible, than to live in seclusion, not only free from all care, but revelling in pleasures and abounding in wealth, while excelling others also in beauty and strength. Thus Hercules denied himself and underwent toil and tribulation for the world, and, out of gratitude for his services, popular belief has given him a place in the council of the gods. The better and more noble, therefore, the character with which a man is endowed, the more does he prefer the life of service to the life of pleasure. Whence it follows that man, if he is obedient to Nature, cannot do harm to his fellow-man. <''. None |

| 4.66. 1. \xa0As for The Seven against Thebes, such, then, was the outcome of their campaign. But their sons, who were known as Epigoni, being intent upon avenging the death of their fathers, decided to make common cause in a campaign against Thebes, having received an oracle from Apollo that they should make war upon this city, and with Alcmaeon, the son of Amphiaraüs, as their supreme commander.,2. \xa0Alcmaeon, after they had chosen him to be their commander, inquired of the god concerning the campaign against Thebes and also concerning the punishment of his mother Eriphylê.,3. \xa0And Apollo replied that he should perform both these deeds, not only because Eriphylê had accepted the golden necklace in return for working the destruction of his father, but also because she had received a robe as a reward for securing the death of her son. For Aphroditê, as we are told, in ancient times had given both the necklace and a robe as presents to Harmonia, the daughter of Cadmus, and Eriphylê had accepted both of them, receiving the necklace from Polyneices and the robe from Thersandrus, the son of Polyneices, who had given it to her in order to induce her to persuade her son to make the campaign against Thebes. Alcmaeon, accordingly, gathered soldiers, not only from Argos but from the neighbouring cities as well, and so had a notable army as he set out on the campaign against Thebes.,4. \xa0The Thebans drew themselves up against him and a mighty battle took place in which Alcmaeon and his allies were victorious; and the Thebans, since they had been worsted in the battle and had lost many of their citizens, found their hopes shattered. And since they were not strong enough to offer further resistance, they consulted the seer Teiresias, who advised them to flee from the city, for only in this way, he said, could they save their lives.,5. \xa0Consequently the Cadmeans left the city, as the seer had counselled them to do, and gathered for refuge by month in a place in Boeotia called Tilphossaeum. Thereupon the Epigoni took the city and sacked it, and capturing Daphnê, the daughter of Teiresias, they dedicated her, in accordance with a certain vow, to the service of the temple at Delphi as an offering to the god of the first-fruits of the booty.,6. \xa0This maiden possessed no less knowledge of prophecy than her father, and in the course of her stay at Delphi she developed her skill to a far greater degree; moreover, by virtue of the employment of a marvellous natural gift, she also wrote oracular responses of every sort, excelling in their composition; and indeed it was from her poetry, they say, that the poet Homer took many verses which he appropriated as his own and with them adorned his own poesy. And since she was often like one inspired when she delivered oracles, they say that she was also called Sibylla, for to be inspired in one's tongue is expressed by the word sibyllainein."". None |

None | 1.8. And when he came to Crete, Ariadne, daughter of Minos, being amorously disposed to him, offered to help him if he would agree to carry her away to Athens and have her to wife. Theseus having agreed on oath to do so, she besought Daedalus to disclose the way out of the labyrinth. ' "1.9. And at his suggestion she gave Theseus a clue when he went in; Theseus fastened it to the door, and, drawing it after him, entered in. Compare Scholiast on Hom. Od. xi.322, Scholiast on Hom. Il. xviii.590 ; Eustathius on Hom. Od. xi.320, p. 1688 ; Diod. 4.61.4 ; Plut. Thes. 19 ; Hyginus, Fab. 42 ; Serv. Verg. A. 6.14, and on Georg. i.222 ; Lactantius Placidus on Statius, Theb. xii.676 ; Scriptores rerum mythicarum Latini, ed. Bode, i. pp. 16, 116ff. (First Vatican Mythographer 43; Second Vatican Mythographer 124) . The clearest description of the clue, with which the amorous Ariadne furnished Theseus, is given by the Scholiasts and Eustathius on Homer l.c. . From them we learn that it was a ball of thread which Ariadne had begged of Daedalus for the use of her lover. He was to fasten one end of the thread to the lintel of the door on entering into the labyrinth, and holding the ball in his hand to unwind the skein while he penetrated deeper and deeper into the maze, till he found the Minotaur asleep in the inmost recess; then he was to catch the monster by the hair and sacrifice him to Poseidon; after which he was to retrace his steps, gathering up the thread behind him as he went. According to the Scholiast on the Odyssey (l.c.), the story was told by Pherecydes, whom later authors may have copied. And having found the Minotaur in the last part of the labyrinth, he killed him by smiting him with his fists; and drawing the clue after him made his way out again. And by night he arrived with Ariadne and the children That is, the boys and girls whom he had rescued from the Minotaur. at Naxos . There Dionysus fell in love with Ariadne and carried her off; Compare Diod. 4.61.5 ; Plut. Thes. 20 ; Paus. 1.20.3 ; Paus. 10.29.4 ; Scholiast on Ap. Rhod., Argon. iii.997 ; Scholiast on Theocritus ii.45 ; Catul. 64.116ff. ; Ovid, Her. x. ; Ovid, Ars Am. i.527ff. ; Ov. Met. 8.174ff. ; Hyginus, Fab. 43 ; Serv. Verg. G. 1.222 ; Scriptores rerum mythicarum Latini, ed. Bode, i. pp. 116ff. (Second Vatican Mythographer 124) . Homer's account of the fate of Ariadne is different. He says ( Hom. Od. 11.321-325 ) that when Theseus was carrying off Ariadne from Crete to Athens she was slain by Artemis in the island of Dia at the instigation of Dionysus. Later writers, such as Diodorus Siculus identified Dia with Naxos, but it is rather “the little island, now Standia, just off Heraclaion, on the north coast of Crete . Theseus would pass the island in sailing for Athens ” ( Merry on Hom. Od. xi.322 ). Apollodorus seems to be the only extant ancient author who mentions that Dionysus carried off Ariadne from Naxos to Lemnos and had intercourse with her there. and having brought her to Lemnos he enjoyed her, and begat Thoas, Staphylus, Oenopion, and Peparethus. Compare Scholiast on Ap. Rhod., Argon. iii.997 . Others said that Ariadne bore Staphylus and Oenopion to Theseus ( Plut. Thes. 20 ). " "
5.11. On hearing these things the Greeks caused the bones of Pelops to be fetched, and they sent Ulysses and Phoenix to Lycomedes at Scyros, and these two persuaded him to let Neoptolemus go. As to the fetching of Neoptolemus from Scyros, see Hom. Od. 11.506ff. ; the Little Iliad of Lesches, summarized by Proclus, in Epicorum Graecorum Fragmenta, ed. G. Kinkel, pp. 36ff. ; Pind. Pa. 6.98ff. ; Soph. Phil. 343-356 ; Philostratus Junior, Im. 2 ; Quintus Smyrnaeus, Posthomerica vi.57-113, vii.169- 430 ; Tzetzes, Posthomerica 523-534 . Apollodorus agrees with Sophocles in saying that the Greek envoys who fetched Neoptolemus from Scyros were Ulysses and Phoenix. According to Quintus Smyrnaeus, they were Ulysses and Diomedes. Ulysses is the only envoy mentioned by Homer, Lesches, and Tzetzes; and Phoenix is the only envoy mentioned by Philostratus. Pindar speaks vaguely of “messengers.” In this passage I have adopted Wagner's conjecture πείθουσι < αὐ> τὸν νεοπτόλεμον προέσθαι, “persuaded him to let Neoptolemus go.” If this conjecture is not accepted, we seem forced to translate the passage “persuaded Neoptolemus to venture.” But I cannot cite any exact parallel to such a use of the middle of προΐημι. When employed absolutely, the verb seems often to convey a bad meaning. Thus Demosthenes uses it in the sense of “throwing away a chance,” “neglecting an opportunity” ( Dem.19.150, 152, μὴ πρόεσθαι, οὐ προήσεσθαι ). Iphicrates employed it with the same significance (quoted by Aristot. Rh. 2.1397b διότι προεῖτο ). Aristotle applied the verb to a man who had “thrown away” his health ( Aristot. Nic. Eth. 3.1114a 15, τότε μὲν οὖν ἐξῆν αὐτῷ μὴ νοσεῖν, προεμένῳ δ’ οὐκέτι, ὥσπερ οὐδ’ ἀφέντι λίθον ἔτ’ αὐτὸν δυνατὸν ἀναλαβεῖν ). However, elsewhere Aristotle uses the word to describe the lavish liberality of generous men ( Aristot. Rh. 1.1366b, εἶτα ἡ ἐλευθεριότης: προΐενται γὰρ καὶ οὐκ ἀνταγωνίζονται περὶ τῶν χρημάτων, ὧν μάλιστα ἐφίενται ἄλλοι ). In the present passage of Apollodorus, if Wagner's emendation is not accepted, we might perhaps read <μὴ>πρόεσθαι and translate, “persuaded Neoptolemus not to throw away the chance.” But it is better to acquiesce in Wagner's simple and probable correction. On coming to the camp and receiving his father's arms from Ulysses, who willingly resigned them, Neoptolemus slew many of the Trojans."'. None |

| 37. Why do the people of Tanagra have before their city an Achilleum, that is, a place bearing this name? For it is related that Achilles actually had more enmity than friendship for the city, since he carried off Stratonicê, the mother of Poemander, and slew Acestor, the son of Ephippus. A grandson of Poemander. While the territory of Tanagra was still inhabited in village communities, Poemander, the father of Ephippus, had been besieged by the Achaeans in the place called Stephon, because of his unwillingness to join their expedition. Against Troy. But he abandoned that stronghold by night and fortified Poemandria. cf. Pausanias, ix. 20. 1. Polycrithus the master-builder, however, who was present, spoke slightingly of the fortifications and, in derision, leaped over the moat. Poemander was enraged and hastened to throw at him a great stone which had been hidden there from ancient days, set aside for use in the ritual of the Nyctelia. These rites resembled those of the rending and resurrection of Osiris; Cf. Moralia 367 f. This stone Poemander snatched up in his ignorance, and hurled. He missed Polycrithus, but slew his son Leucippus. According to the law, therefore, he had to depart from Boeotia and become a suppliant at a stranger’s hearth. But this was not easy, since the Achaeans had invaded the territory of Tanagra. Accordingly he sent his son Ephippus to appeal to Achilles. Ephippus, by his persuasive words, brought to his father Achilles, as well as Tlepolemus, the son of Heracles, and Peneleös, the son of Hippalcmas, all of them interrelated. Poemander was escorted by them to Chalcis, and there at the house of Elephenor he was purified of the murder. Therefore he honoured these heroes and set apart sacred precincts for them all, and of these the precinct of Achilles has still kept its name.''. None |

| 82.4. Do you ask who are my pacemakers? One is enough for me, – the slave Pharius, a pleasant fellow, as you know; but I shall exchange him for another. At my time of life I need one who is of still more tender years. Pharius, at any rate, says that he and I are at the same period of life; for we are both losing our teeth.3 Yet even now I can scarcely follow his pace as he runs, and within a very short time I shall not be able to follow him at all; so you see what profit we get from daily exercise. Very soon does a wide interval open between two persons who travel different ways. My slave is climbing up at the very moment when I am coming down, and you surely know how much quicker the latter is. Nay, I was wrong; for now my life is not coming down; it is falling outright.
82.4. What then is the advantage of retirement? As if the real causes of our anxieties did not follow us across the seas! What hiding-place is there, where the fear of death does not enter? What peaceful haunts are there, so fortified and so far withdrawn that pain does not fill them with fear? Wherever you hide yourself, human ills will make an uproar all around. There are many external things which compass us about, to deceive us or to weigh upon us; there are many things within which, even amid solitude, fret and ferment. 82.5. Do you ask, for all that, how our race resulted to-day? We raced to a tie,4– something which rarely happens in a running contest. After tiring myself out in this way (for I cannot call it exercise), I took a cold bath; this, at my house, means just short of hot. I, the former cold-water enthusiast, who used to celebrate the new year by taking a plunge into the canal, who, just as naturally as I would set out to do some reading or writing, or to compose a speech, used to inaugurate the first of the year with a plunge into the Virgo aqueduct,5 have changed my allegiance, first to the Tiber, and then to my favourite tank, which is warmed only by the sun, at times when I am most robust and when there is not a flaw in my bodily processes. I have very little energy left for bathing. '82.5. Therefore, gird yourself about with philosophy, an impregnable wall. Though it be assaulted by many engines, Fortune can find no passage into it. The soul stands on unassailable ground, if it has abandoned external things; it is independent in its own fortress; and every weapon that is hurled falls short of the mark. Fortune has not the long reach with which we credit her; she can seize none except him that clings to her. '. None |

| 11.24. When morning came, and that the solemnities were finished, I came forth sanctified with twelve robes and in a religious habit. I am not forbidden to speak of this since many persons saw me at that time. There I was commanded to stand upon a seat of wood which stood in the middle of the temple before the image of the goddess. My vestment was of fine linen, covered and embroidered with flowers. I had a precious cloak upon my shoulders hung down to the ground. On it were depicted beasts wrought of diverse colors: Indian dragons and Hyperborean griffins which the other world engenders in the form of birds. The priests commonly call such a habit a celestial robe. In my right hand I carried a lit torch. There was a garland of flowers upon my head with palm leaves sprouting out on every side. I was adorned like un the sun and made in fashion of an image such that all the people came up to behold me. Then they began to solemnize the feast of the nativity and the new procession, with sumptuous banquets and delicacies. The third day was likewise celebrated with like ceremonies with a religious dinner, and with all the consummation of the order. After I had stayed there a good space, I conceived a marvelous pleasure and consolation in beholding the image of the goddess. She at length urged me to depart homeward. I rendered my thanks which, although not sufficient, yet they were according to my power. However, I could not be persuaded to depart before I had fallen prostrate before the face of the goddess and wiped her steps with my face. Then I began greatly to weep and sigh (so uch so that my words were interrupted) and, as though devouring my prayer, I began to speak in this way:' '. None |

1.12.1. οὕτω Πύρρος ἐστὶν ὁ πρῶτος ἐκ τῆς Ἑλλάδος τῆς πέραν Ἰονίου διαβὰς ἐπὶ Ῥωμαίους· διέβη δὲ καὶ οὗτος ἐπαγαγομένων Ταραντίνων. τούτοις γὰρ πρότερον ἔτι πρὸς Ῥωμαίους συνειστήκει πόλεμος· ἀδύνατοι δὲ κατὰ σφᾶς ὄντες ἀντισχεῖν, προϋπαρχούσης μὲν ἐς αὐτὸν εὐεργεσίας, ὅτι οἱ πολεμοῦντι τὸν πρὸς Κόρκυραν πόλεμον ναυσὶ συνήραντο, μάλιστα δὲ οἱ πρέσβεις τῶν Ταραντίνων ἀνέπεισαν τὸν Πύρρον, τήν τε Ἰταλίαν διδάσκοντες ὡς εὐδαιμονίας ἕνεκα ἀντὶ πάσης εἴη τῆς Ἑλλάδος καὶ ὡς οὐχ ὅσιον αὐτῷ παραπέμψαι σφᾶς φίλους τε καὶ ἱκέτας ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἥκοντας. ταῦτα λεγόντων τῶν πρέσβεων μνήμη τὸν Πύρρον τῆς ἁλώσεως ἐσῆλθε τῆς Ἰλίου, καί οἱ κατὰ ταὐτὰ ἤλπιζε χωρήσειν πολεμοῦντι· στρατεύειν γὰρ ἐπὶ Τρώων ἀποίκους Ἀχιλλέως ὢν ἀπόγονος.

None | 1.4.4. So they tried to save Greece in the way described, but the Gauls, now south of the Gates, cared not at all to capture the other towns, but were very eager to sack Delphi and the treasures of the god. They were opposed by the Delphians themselves and the Phocians of the cities around Parnassus ; a force of Aetolians also joined the defenders, for the Aetolians at this time were pre-eminent for their vigorous activity. When the forces engaged, not only were thunderbolts and rocks broken off from Parnassus hurled against the Gauls, but terrible shapes as armed warriors haunted the foreigners. They say that two of them, Hyperochus and Amadocus, came from the Hyperboreans, and that the third was Pyrrhus son of Achilles. Because of this help in battle the Delphians sacrifice to Pyrrhus as to a hero, although formerly they held even his tomb in dishonor, as being that of an enemy.
1.12.1. So Pyrrhus was the first to cross the Ionian Sea from Greece to attack the Romans. 280 B.C. And even he crossed on the invitation of the Tarentines. For they were already involved in a war with the Romans, but were no match for them unaided. Pyrrhus was already in their debt, because they had sent a fleet to help him in his war with Corcyra, but the most cogent arguments of the Tarentine envoys were their accounts of Italy, how its prosperity was equal to that of the whole of Greece, and their plea that it was wicked to dismiss them when they had come as friends and suppliants in their hour of need. When the envoys urged these considerations, Pyrrhus remembered the capture of Troy, which he took to be an omen of his success in the war, as he was a descendant of Achilles making war upon a colony of Trojans.
3.20.8. On the road from Sparta to Arcadia there stands in the open an image of Athena surnamed Pareia, and after it is a sanctuary of Achilles. This it is not customary to open, but all the youths who are going to take part in the contest in Plane-tree Grove are wont to sacrifice to Achilles before the fight. The Spartans say that the sanctuary was made for them by Prax, a grandson of Pergamus the son of Neoptolemus. 3.20.9. Further on is what is called the Tomb of Horse. For Tyndareus, having sacrificed a horse here, administered an oath to the suitors of Helen, making them stand upon the pieces of the horse. The oath was to defend Helen and him who might be chosen to marry her if ever they should be wronged. When he had sworn the suitors he buried the horse here. Seven pillars, which are not far from this tomb ... in the ancient manner, I believe, which they say are images of the planets. On the road is a precinct of Cranius surnamed Stemmatias, and a sanctuary of Mysian Artemis.
8.14.9. As you go down from the acropolis of Pheneus you come to a stadium, and on a hill stands a tomb of Iphicles, the brother of Heracles and the father of Iolaus. Iolaus, according to the Greek account, shared most of the labours of Heracles, but his father Iphicles, in the first battle fought by Heracles against the Eleans and Augeas, was wounded by the sons of Actor, who were called after their mother Moline. In a fainting condition he was carried by his relatives to Pheneus, where he was carefully nursed by Buphagus, a citizen of Pheneus, and by his wife Promne, who also buried him when he died of his wound. 8.14.10. They still sacrifice to Iphicles as to a hero, and of the gods the people of Pheneus worship most Hermes, in whose honor they celebrate the games called Hermaea; they have also a temple of Hermes, and a stone image, made by an Athenian, Eucheir the son of Eubulides. Behind the temple is the grave of Myrtilus. The Greeks say that he was the son of Hermes, and that he served as charioteer to Oenomaus. Whenever a man arrived to woo the daughter of Oenomaus, Myrtilus craftily drove on the mares, while Oenomaus on the course shot down the wooer when he came near.''. None |

Therest of the company also besought him to tell them all about it, and as they were in a mood to listen to him, he said: Well, it was not by digging a ditch like Odysseus, nor by tempting souls with the blood of sheep, that I obtained a conversation with Achilles; but I offered up the prayer which the Indians say they use in approaching their heroes. “O Achilles,' I said, “most of mankind declare that you are dead, but I cannot agree with them, nor can Pythagoras, my spiritual ancestor. If then we hold the truth, show to us your own form; for you would profit not a little by showing yourself to my eyes, if you should be able to use them to attest your existence.” Thereupon a slight earthquake shook the neighborhood of the barrow, and a youth issued forth five cubits high, wearing a cloak ofThessalian fashion; but in appearance he was by no means the braggart figure which some imagine Achilles to have been. Though he was stern to look upon, he had never lost his bright look; and it seems to me that his beauty has never received its meed of praise, even though Homer dwelt at length upon it; for it was really beyond the power of words, and it is easier for the singer to ruin his fame in this respect than to praise him as he deserved. At first sight he was of the size which I have mentioned, but he grew bigger, till he was twice as large and even more than that; at any rate he appeared to me to be twelve cubits high just at that moment when he reached his complete stature, and his beauty grew apace with his length. He told me then that he had never at any time shorn off his hair, bit preserved it to inviolate for the river Spercheus, for this was the river of his first intimacy; but on his cheeks you saw the first down.And he addressed me and said: “I am pleased to have met you, since I have long wanted a man like yourself. For the Thessalians for a long time past have failed to present their offerings to my tomb, and I do not yet wish to show my wrath against them; for if I did so, they would perish more thoroughly than ever the Hellenes did on this spot; accordingly I resort to gentle advice, and would warn them not to violate ancient custom, nor to prove themselves worse men than the Trojans here, who though they were robbed of so many of their heroes by myself, yet sacrifice publicly to me, and also give me the tithes of their fruits of season, and olive branch in hand ask for a truce from my hostility. But this I will not grant, for the perjuries which they committed against me will not suffer Ilium ever to resume its pristine beauty, nor to regain the prosperity which yet has favored many a city that was destroyed of old; nay, if they rebuild it, things shall go as hard with them as if their city had been captured only yesterday. In order then to save me from bringing the Thessalian polity then to the same condition, you must go as my envoy to their council in behalf of the object I have mentioned.” “I will be your envoy,” I replied, “for the object of my embassy were to save them from ruin. But, O Achilles, I would ask something of you.” “I understand,” said he, “for it is plain you are going to ask about the Trojan war. So ask me five questions about whatever you like, and that the Fates approve of.” I accordingly asked him firstly, if he had obtained burial in accordance with the story of the poets. “I lie here,” he answered, “as was most delightful to myself and Patroclus; for you know we met in mere youth, and a single golden jar holds the remains of both of us, as if we were one. But as for the dirges of the Muses and Nereids, which they say are sung over me, the Muses, I may tell you, never once came here at all, though the Nereids still resort to the spot.” Next I asked him, if Polyxena was really slaughtered over his tomb; and he replied that this was true, but that she was not slain by the Achaeans, but that she came of her own free will to the sepulcher, and that so high was the value she set on her passion for him and she for her, that she threw herself upon an upright sword. The third questions was this: “Did Helen, O Achilles, really come to Troy or was it Homer that was pleased to make up the story?' “For a long time,” he replied, “we were deceived and tricked into sending envoys to the Trojans and fighting battles in her behalf, in the belief that she was in Ilium, whereas she really was living in Egypt and in the house of Proteus, whither she had been snatched away by Paris. But when we became convinced thereof, we continued to fight to win Troy itself, so as not to disgrace ourselves by retreat.” The fourth question which I ventured upon was this: “I wonder,” I said, “that Greece ever produced at any one time so many and such distinguished heroes as Homer says were gathered against Troy.' But Achilles answered: “Why even the barbarians did not fall far short of us, so abundantly then did excellence flourish all over the earth.” And my fifth question was this: “Why was it that Homer knew nothing about Palamedes, or if he knew him, then kept him out of your story?' “If Palamedes,' he answered, “never came to Troy, then Troy never existed either. But since this wisest and most warlike hero fell in obedience to Odysseus' whim, Homer does not introduce him into his poems, lest he should have to record the shame of Odysseus in his song.” And withal Achilles raised a wail over him as over one who was the greatest and most beautiful of men, the youngest and also the most warlike, one who in sobriety surpassed all others, and had often foregathered with the Muses. “But you,” he added, “O Apollonius, since sages have a tender regard for one another, you must care for his tomb and restore the image of Palamedes that has been so contemptuously cast aside; and it lies in Aeolis close to Methymna in Lesbos.' Wit these words and with the closing remarks concerning the youth from Paros, Achilles vanished with a flash of summer lightning, for indeed the cocks were already beginning their chant." '
5.14. Next they came to Catana, where is Mount Etna; and they say that they heard from the inhabitants of the city a story about Typho being bound on the spot and about fire rising from him, and this fire sends up the smoke of Etna; but they themselves came to more plausible conclusions and more in keeping with philosophy. And they say that Apollonius began the discussion by asking his companions: Is there such a thing as mythology? Yes, by Zeus, answered Menippus, and I mean by it that which furnishes poets with their themes. What then do you think of Aesop? He is a mythologist and writer of fables and no more. And which set of myths show any wisdom? Those of the poets, he answered, because they are represented in the poems as having taken place. And what then do you think of the stories of Aesop? Frogs, he answered, and donkeys and nonsense only fit to be swallowed by old women and children. And yet for my own part, said Apollonius, I find them more conducive to wisdom than the others. For those others, of which all poetry is so fond, and which deal with heroes, positively destroy the souls of their hearers, because the poet relates stories of outlandish passion and of incestuous marriages, and repeats calumnies against the gods, of how they ate their own children, and committed crimes of meanness, and quarreled with one another; and the affectation and pretense of reality leads passionate and jealous people and miserlike and ambitious persons to imitate the stories. Aesop on the other hand had in the first place the wisdom never to identify himself with those who put such stories into verse, but took a line of his own; and in the second, like those who dine well off the plainest dishes, he made use of humble incidents to teach great truths, and after serving up a story he adds to it the advice to do a thing or not to do it. Then, too, he was really more attached to truth than the poets are; for the latter do violence to their own stories in order to make them probable; but he by announcing a story which everyone knows not to be true, told the truth by the very fact that he did not claim to be relating real events. And the poet, after telling his story, leaves a healthy-minded reader cudgeling his brains to know whether it really happened; whereas one who, like Aesop, tells a story which is false and does not pretend to be anything else, merely investing it with a good moral, shows that he has made use of the falsehood merely for its utility to his audience. And there is another charm about him, namely, that he puts animals in a pleasing light and makes them interesting to mankind. For after being brought up from childhood with these stories, and after being as it were nursed by them from babyhood, we acquire certain opinions of the several animals and think of some of them as royal animals, of others as silly, of others as witty, and others as innocent. And whereas the poet, after telling us that there are “many forms of heavenly visitation” 1 or something of the kind, dismisses his chorus and departs, Aesop adds an oracle to his story, and dismisses his hearers just as they reach the conclusion he wished to lead the up to.' "5.15. And as for myself, O Menippus, my mother taught me a story about the wisdom of Aesop when I was a mere child, and told me that he was once a shepherd, and was tending his flocks hard by a temple of Hermes, and that he was a passionate lover of wisdom and prayed to Hermes that he might receive it. Many other people, she said, also resorted to the temple of Hermes asking for the same gift, and one of them would hang on the altar gold, another silver, another a herald's wand of ivory, and others other rich presents of the kind. Now Aesop, she said, was not in a position to own any of these things; but he saved up what he had, and poured a libation of as much milk as a sheep would give at one milking in honor of Hermes, and brought a honeycomb and laid it on the altar, big enough to fill the hand, and he thought too of regaling the god with myrtle berries, or perhaps by laying just a few roses or violets at the altar. “For,” said he, “would you, O Hermes, have me weave crowns for you and neglect my sheep?' Now when on the appointed day they arrived for the distribution of the gifts of wisdom, Hermes as the god of wisdom and eloquence and also of gain and profit, said to him who, as you may well suppose, had made the biggest offering: “Here is philosophy for you'; and to him who had made the next handsomest present, he said: “Do you take your place among the orators'; and to others he said: “You shall have the gift of astronomy or you shall be a musician, or you shall be an epic poet and write in heroic metre, or you shall be a writer of iambics.” Now although he was a most wise and accomplished god he exhausted, not meaning to do so, all the various departments of wisdom, and then found that he had quite forgotten Aesop. Thereupon he remembered the Hours, by whom he himself had been nurtured on the peaks of Olympus, and bethought him of how once, when he was still in swaddling clothes, they had told him a story about the cow, which had a conversation with the man about herself and about the earth, and so set him aflame for the cows of Apollo. Accordingly he forthwith bestowed upon Aesop the art of fable called mythology, for that was all that was left in the house of wisdom, and said: Do you keep what was the first thing I learnt myself. Aesop then acquired the various forms of his art from that source, and the issue was such as we have seen in the matter of mythology."". None |

| 9.17.3. To Genitor. I have received your letter in which you complain how offensive to you a really magnificent banquet was, owing to the fact that there were buffoons, dancers, and jesters going round from table to table. Ah ! will you never relax that severe frown of yours even a little ? For my own part, I do not provide any such entertainments like those, but I can put up with those who do. Why then do I not provide them myself? For this reason, that if any dancer makes a lewd movement, if a buffoon is impudent, or a jester makes a senseless fool of himself, it does not amuse me a whit, for I see no novelty or fun in it. I am not giving you a high moral reason, but am only telling you my individual taste. Yet think how many people there are who would regard with disfavour, as partly insipid and partly wearisome, the entertainments which charm and attract you and me. When a reader, or a musician, or a comic actor enters the banqueting-room, how many there are who call for their shoes or lie back on their couches just as completely bored as you were, when you endured what you describe as those monstrosities ! Let us then make allowances for what pleases other people, so that we may induce others to make allowances for us ! Farewell. ''. None |

| 6.1.1. Leucania: After the mouth of the Silaris one comes to Leucania, and to the sanctuary of the Argoan Hera, built by Jason, and near by, within fifty stadia, to Poseidonia. Thence, sailing out past the gulf, one comes to Leucosia, an island, from which it is only a short voyage across to the continent. The island is named after one of the Sirens, who was cast ashore here after the Sirens had flung themselves, as the myth has it, into the depths of the sea. In front of the island lies that promontory which is opposite the Sirenussae and with them forms the Poseidonian Gulf. On doubling this promontory one comes immediately to another gulf, in which there is a city which was called Hyele by the Phocaeans who founded it, and by others Ele, after a certain spring, but is called by the men of today Elea. This is the native city of Parmenides and Zeno, the Pythagorean philosophers. It is my opinion that not only through the influence of these men but also in still earlier times the city was well governed; and it was because of this good government that the people not only held their own against the Leucani and the Poseidoniatae, but even returned victorious, although they were inferior to them both in extent of territory and in population. At any rate, they are compelled, on account of the poverty of their soil, to busy themselves mostly with the sea and to establish factories for the salting of fish, and other such industries. According to Antiochus, after the capture of Phocaea by Harpagus, the general of Cyrus, all the Phocaeans who could do so embarked with their entire families on their light boats and, under the leadership of Creontiades, sailed first to Cyrnus and Massalia, but when they were beaten off from those places founded Elea. Some, however, say that the city took its name from the River Elees. It is about two hundred stadia distant from Poseidonia. After Elea comes the promontory of Palinurus. off the territory of Elea are two islands, the Oinotrides, which have anchoring-places. After Palinurus comes Pyxus — a cape, harbor, and river, for all three have the same name. Pyxus was peopled with new settlers by Micythus, the ruler of the Messene in Sicily, but all the settlers except a few sailed away again. After Pyxus comes another gulf, and also Laus — a river and city; it is the last of the Leucanian cities, lying only a short distance above the sea, is a colony of the Sybaritae, and the distance thither from Elea is four hundred stadia. The whole voyage along the coast of Leucania is six hundred and fifty stadia. Near Laus is the hero-sanctuary of Draco, one of the companions of Odysseus, in regard to which the following oracle was given out to the Italiotes: Much people will one day perish about Laian Draco. 6 And the oracle came true, for, deceived by it, the peoples who made campaigns against Laus, that is, the Greek inhabitants of Italy, met disaster at the hands of the Leucani.
6.1.15. Next in order comes Metapontium, which is one hundred and forty stadia from the naval station of Heracleia. It is said to have been founded by the Pylians who sailed from Troy with Nestor; and they so prospered from farming, it is said, that they dedicated a golden harvest at Delphi. And writers produce as a sign of its having been founded by the Pylians the sacrifice to the shades of the sons of Neleus. However, the city was wiped out by the Samnitae. According to Antiochus: Certain of the Achaeans were sent for by the Achaeans in Sybaris and resettled the place, then forsaken, but they were summoned only because of a hatred which the Achaeans who had been banished from Laconia had for the Tarantini, in order that the neighboring Tarantini might not pounce upon the place; there were two cities, but since, of the two, Metapontium was nearer to Taras, the newcomers were persuaded by the Sybarites to take Metapontium and hold it, for, if they held this, they would also hold the territory of Siris, whereas, if they turned to the territory of Siris, they would add Metapontium to the territory of the Tarantini, which latter was on the very flank of Metapontium; and when, later on, the Metapontians were at war with the Tarantini and the Oinotrians of the interior, a reconciliation was effected in regard to a portion of the land — that portion, indeed, which marked the boundary between the Italy of that time and Iapygia. Here, too, the fabulous accounts place Metapontus, and also Melanippe the prisoner and her son Boeotus. In the opinion of Antiochus, the city Metapontium was first called Metabum and later on its name was slightly altered, and further, Melanippe was brought, not to Metabus, but to Dius, as is proved by a hero-sanctuary of Metabus, and also by Asius the poet, when he says that Boeotus was brought forth in the halls of Dius by shapely Melanippe, meaning that Melanippe was brought to Dius, not to Metabus. But, as Ephorus says, the colonizer of Metapontium was Daulius, the tyrant of the Crisa which is near Delphi. And there is this further account, that the man who was sent by the Achaeans to help colonize it was Leucippus, and that after procuring the use of the place from the Tarantini for only a day and night he would not give it back, replying by day to those who asked it back that he had asked and taken it for the next night also, and by night that he had taken and asked it also for the next day. Next in order comes Taras and Iapygia; but before discussing them I shall, in accordance with my original purpose, give a general description of the islands that lie in front of Italy; for as from time to time I have named also the islands which neighbor upon the several tribes, so now, since I have traversed Oinotria from beginning to end, which alone the people of earlier times called Italy, it is right that I should preserve the same order in traversing Sicily and the islands round about it.' "
13.1.27. Also the Ilium of today was a kind of village-city when the Romans first set foot on Asia and expelled Antiochus the Great from the country this side of Taurus. At any rate, Demetrius of Scepsis says that, when as a lad he visited the city about that time, he found the settlement so neglected that the buildings did not so much as have tiled roofs. And Hegesianax says that when the Galatae crossed over from Europe they needed a stronghold and went up into the city for that reason, but left it at once because of its lack of walls. But later it was greatly improved. And then it was ruined again by the Romans under Fimbria, who took it by siege in the course of the Mithridatic war. Fimbria had been sent as quaestor with Valerius Flaccus the consul when the latter was appointed to the command against Mithridates; but Fimbria raised a mutiny and slew the consul in the neighborhood of Bithynia, and was himself set up as lord of the army; and when he advanced to Ilium, the Ilians would not admit him, as being a brigand, and therefore he applied force and captured the place on the eleventh day. And when he boasted that he himself had overpowered on the eleventh day the city which Agamemnon had only with difficulty captured in the tenth year, although the latter had with him on his expedition the fleet of a thousand vessels and the whole of Greece, one of the Ilians said: Yes, for the city's champion was no Hector. Now Sulla came over and overthrew Fimbria, and on terms of agreement sent Mithridates away to his homeland, but he also consoled the Ilians by numerous improvements. In my time, however, the deified Caesar was far more thoughtful of them, at the same time also emulating the example of Alexander; for Alexander set out to provide for them on the basis of a renewal of ancient kinship, and also because at the same time he was fond of Homer; at any rate, we are told of a recension of the poetry of Homer, the Recension of the Casket, as it is called, which Alexander, along with Callisthenes and Anaxarchus, perused and to a certain extent annotated, and then deposited in a richly wrought casket which he had found amongst the Persian treasures. Accordingly, it was due both to his zeal for the poet and to his descent from the Aeacidae who reigned as kings of the Molossians — where, as we are also told, Andromache, who had been the wife of Hector, reigned as queen — that Alexander was kindly disposed towards the Ilians. But Caesar, not only being fond of Alexander, but also having better known evidences of kinship with the Ilians, felt encouraged to bestow kindness upon them with all the zest of youth: better known evidences, first, because he was a Roman, and because the Romans believe Aeneias to have been their original founder; and secondly, because the name Iulius was derived from that of a certain Iulus who was one of his ancestors, and this Iulus got his appellation from the Iulus who was one of the descendants of Aeneas. Caesar therefore allotted territory to them end also helped them to preserve their freedom and their immunity from taxation; and to this day they remain in possession of these favors. But that this is not the site of the ancient Ilium, if one considers the matter in accordance with Homer's account, is inferred from the following considerations. But first I must give a general description of the region in question, beginning at that point on the coast where I left off."'. None |

1.488. Se quoque principibus permixtum adgnovit Achivis, 1.489. Eoasque acies et nigri Memnonis arma. 1.490. Ducit Amazonidum lunatis agmina peltis 1.491. Penthesilea furens, mediisque in milibus ardet, 1.492. aurea subnectens exsertae cingula mammae, 1.493. bellatrix, audetque viris concurrere virgo.

Nec non et vario noctem sermone trahebat 1.749. infelix Dido, longumque bibebat amorem, 1.750. multa super Priamo rogitans, super Hectore multa; 1.751. nunc quibus Aurorae venisset filius armis, 1.752. nunc quales Diomedis equi, nunc quantus Achilles. 1.753. Immo age, et a prima dic, hospes, origine nobis 1.754. insidias, inquit, Danaum, casusque tuorum, 1.755. erroresque tuos; nam te iam septima portat 1.756. omnibus errantem terris et fluctibus aestas.2.6. et quorum pars magna fui.

2.274. Ei mihi, qualis erat, quantum mutatus ab illo 2.275. Hectore, qui redit exuvias indutus Achilli,
2.501. vidi Hecubam centumque nurus, Priamumque per aras 2.502. sanguine foedantem, quos ipse sacraverat, ignis.
2.533. Hic Priamus, quamquam in media iam morte tenetur, 2.534. non tamen abstinuit, nec voci iraeque pepercit: 2.536. di, si qua est caelo pietas, quae talia curet, 2.537. persolvant grates dignas et praemia reddant 2.538. debita, qui nati coram me cernere letum 2.539. fecisti et patrios foedasti funere voltus. 2.540. At non ille, satum quo te mentiris, Achilles 2.541. talis in hoste fuit Priamo; sed iura fidemque 2.542. supplicis erubuit, corpusque exsangue sepulchro 2.543. reddidit Hectoreum, meque in mea regna remisit. 2.544. Sic fatus senior, telumque imbelle sine ictu 2.545. coniecit, rauco quod protinus aere repulsum 2.546. e summo clipei nequiquam umbone pependit. 2.547. Cui Pyrrhus: Referes ergo haec et nuntius ibis 2.548. Pelidae genitori; illi mea tristia facta 2.549. degeneremque Neoptolemum narrare memento. 2.550. Nunc morere. Hoc dicens altaria ad ipsa trementem 2.551. traxit et in multo lapsantem sanguine nati, 2.552. implicuitque comam laeva, dextraque coruscum 2.553. extulit, ac lateri capulo tenus abdidit ensem. 2.554. Haec finis Priami fatorum; hic exitus illum 2.555. sorte tulit, Troiam incensam et prolapsa videntem 2.556. Pergama, tot quondam populis terrisque superbum 2.557. regnatorem Asiae.

4.260. Aenean fundantem arces ac tecta novantem 4.261. conspicit; atque illi stellatus iaspide fulva 4.262. ensis erat, Tyrioque ardebat murice laena 4.263. demissa ex umeris, dives quae munera Dido 4.264. fecerat, et tenui telas discreverat auro. 4.265. Continuo invadit: Tu nunc Karthaginis altae 4.266. fundamenta locas, pulchramque uxorius urbem 4.267. exstruis, heu regni rerumque oblite tuarum?
5.407. magimusque Anchisiades et pondus et ipsa

6.18. Redditus his primum terris, tibi, Phoebe, sacravit 6.20. In foribus letum Androgeo: tum pendere poenas 6.21. Cecropidae iussi—miserum!—septena quotannis 6.22. corpora natorum; stat ductis sortibus urna. 6.23. Contra elata mari respondet Gnosia tellus: 6.24. hic crudelis amor tauri, suppostaque furto 6.25. Pasiphaë, mixtumque genus prolesque biformis 6.26. Minotaurus inest, Veneris monumenta nefandae; 6.27. hic labor ille domus et inextricabilis error; 6.28. magnum reginae sed enim miseratus amorem 6.29. Daedalus ipse dolos tecti ambagesque resolvit, 6.30. caeca regens filo vestigia. Tu quoque magnam 6.31. partem opere in tanto, sineret dolor, Icare, haberes. 6.32. Bis conatus erat casus effingere in auro; 6.33. bis patriae cecidere manus. Quin protinus omnia
6.126. Tros Anchisiade, facilis descensus Averno;
6.469. Illa solo fixos oculos aversa tenebat,
6.489. At Danaum proceres Agamemnoniaeque phalanges 6.490. ut videre virum fulgentiaque arma per umbras, 6.491. ingenti trepidare metu; pars vertere terga, 6.492. ceu quondam petiere rates; pars tollere vocem 6.493. exiguam, inceptus clamor frustratur hiantes.
6.756. Nunc age, Dardaniam prolem quae deinde sequatur 6.757. gloria, qui maneant Itala de gente nepotes, 6.758. inlustris animas nostrumque in nomen ituras, 6.759. expediam dictis, et te tua fata docebo.
6.806. Et dubitamus adhuc virtute extendere vires,
6.836. Ille triumphata Capitolia ad alta Corintho 6.837. victor aget currum, caesis insignis Achivis. 6.838. Eruet ille Argos Agamemnoniasque Mycenas, 6.839. ipsumque Aeaciden, genus armipotentis Achilli, 6.840. ultus avos Troiae, templa et temerata Minervae.
6.860. Atque hic Aeneas; una namque ire videbat 6.861. egregium forma iuvenem et fulgentibus armis, 6.862. sed frons laeta parum, et deiecto lumina voltu: 6.863. Quis, pater, ille, virum qui sic comitatur euntem? 6.864. Filius, anne aliquis magna de stirpe nepotum? 6.865. Quis strepitus circa comitum! Quantum instar in ipso! 6.866. Sed nox atra caput tristi circumvolat umbra. 6.867. Tum pater Anchises, lacrimis ingressus obortis: 6.868. O gnate, ingentem luctum ne quaere tuorum; 6.869. ostendent terris hunc tantum fata, neque ultra
7.651. Lausus, equum domitor debellatorque ferarum,
7.783. Ipse inter primos praestanti corpore Turnus 7.784. vertitur arma tenens et toto vertice supra est. 7.785. Cui triplici crinita iuba galea alta Chimaeram 7.786. sustinet, Aetnaeos efflantem faucibus ignis: 7.787. tam magis illa fremens et tristibus effera flammis, 7.788. quam magis effuso crudescunt sanguine pugnae. 7.789. At levem clipeum sublatis cornibus Io 7.790. auro insignibat, iam saetis obsita, iam bos 7.791. (argumentum ingens), et custos virginis Argus 7.792. caelataque amnem fundens pater Inachus urna.
8.196. caede tepebat humus, foribusque adfixa superbis 8.197. ora virum tristi pendebant pallida tabo.
8.301. Salve, vera Iovis proles, decus addite divis,
8.521. Aeneas Anchisiades et fidus Achates
8.685. Hinc ope barbarica variisque Antonius armis, 8.686. victor ab Aurorae populis et litore rubro, 8.687. Aegyptum viresque Orientis et ultima secum 8.688. Bactra vehit, sequiturque (nefas) Aegyptia coniunx. 8.689. Una omnes ruere, ac totum spumare reductis 8.690. convolsum remis rostrisque tridentibus aequor. 8.691. alta petunt: pelago credas innare revolsas 8.692. Cycladas aut montis concurrere montibus altos, 8.693. tanta mole viri turritis puppibus instant. 8.694. stuppea flamma manu telisque volatile ferrum 8.695. spargitur, arva nova Neptunia caede rubescunt. 8.696. Regina in mediis patrio vocat agmina sistro 8.697. necdum etiam geminos a tergo respicit anguis. 8.698. omnigenumque deum monstra et latrator Anubis 8.699. contra Neptunum et Venerem contraque Minervam 8.700. tela tenent. Saevit medio in certamine Mavors 8.701. caelatus ferro tristesque ex aethere Dirae, 8.702. et scissa gaudens vadit Discordia palla, 8.703. quam cum sanguineo sequitur Bellona flagello. 8.704. Actius haec cernens arcum tendebat Apollo 8.705. desuper: omnis eo terrore Aegyptus et Indi, 8.706. omnis Arabs, omnes vertebant terga Sabaei. 8.707. Ipsa videbatur ventis regina vocatis 8.708. vela dare et laxos iam iamque inmittere funis. 8.709. Illam inter caedes pallentem morte futura 8.710. fecerat Ignipotens undis et Iapyge ferri, 8.711. contra autem magno maerentem corpore Nilum 8.712. pandentemque sinus et tota veste vocantem 8.713. caeruleum in gremium latebrosaque flumina victos.
9.59. Ac veluti pleno lupus insidiatus ovili 9.60. cum fremit ad caulas, ventos perpessus et imbris, 9.61. nocte super media; tuti sub matribus agni 9.62. balatum exercent, ille asper et improbus ira 9.63. saevit in absentis, collecta fatigat edendi 9.64. ex longo rabies et siccae sanguine fauces:
9.307. exuvias; galeam fidus permutat Aletes.
9.359. Euryalus phaleras Rhamnetis et aurea bullis 9.360. cingula, Tiburti Remulo ditissimus olim 9.361. quae mittit dona hospitio cum iungeret absens 9.362. Caedicus, ille suo moriens dat habere nepoti, 9.363. 9.446. Fortunati ambo! Siquid mea carmina possunt, 9.447. nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo, 9.448. dum domus Aeneae Capitoli immobile saxum 9.449. accolet imperiumque pater Romanus habebit.
9.481. Hunc ego te, Euryale, aspicio? Tune illa senectae 9.482. sera meae requies, potuisti linquere solam, 9.483. crudelis? Nec te, sub tanta pericula missum, 9.484. adfari extremum miserae data copia matri? 9.485. Heu, terra ignota canibus data praeda Latinis 9.486. alitibusque iaces, nec te, tua funera mater 9.487. produxi pressive oculos aut volnera lavi, 9.488. veste tegens, tibi quam noctes festina diesque 9.489. urgebam et tela curas solabar anilis. 9.490. Quo sequar, aut quae nunc artus avolsaque membra 9.491. et funus lacerum tellus habet? Hoc mihi de te, 9.492. nate, refers? Hoc sum terraque marique secuta? 9.493. Figite me, siqua est pietas, in me omnia tela 9.494. conicite, o Rutuli, me primam absumite ferro: 9.495. aut tu, magne pater divom, miserere tuoque 9.496. invisum hoc detrude caput sub Tartara telo, 9.497. quando aliter nequeo crudelem abrumpere vitam.
9.717. Hic Mars armipotens animum viresque Latinis 9.718. addidit et stimulos acris sub pectore vertit 9.719. immisitque Fugam Teucris atrumque Timorem. 9.720. Undique conveniunt, quoniam data copia pugnae 9.721. bellatorque animo deus incidit. 9.723. et quo sit fortuna loco, qui casus agat res, 9.724. portam vi magna converso cardine torquet, 9.725. obnixus latis umeris, multosque suorum 9.726. moenibus exclusos duro in certamine linquit;
9.728. demens, qui Rutulum in medio non agmine regem 9.729. viderit inrumpentem ultroque incluserit urbi, 9.730. immanem veluti pecora inter inertia tigrim. 9.731. Continuo nova lux oculis effulsit, et arma 9.732. horrendum sonuere; tremunt in vertice cristae 9.733. sanguineae, clipeoque micantia fulmina mittit: 9.734. agnoscunt faciem invisam atque immania membra 9.735. turbati subito Aeneadae. Tum Pandarus ingens 9.736. emicat et mortis fraternae fervidus ira 9.737. effatur: Non haec dotalis regia Amatae,' '9.740. Olli subridens sedato pectore Turnus: 9.741. Incipe, siqua animo virtus, et consere dextram: 9.743. Dixerat. Ille rudem nodis et cortice crudo 9.744. intorquet summis adnixus viribus hastam: 9.745. excepere aurae volnus; Saturnia Iuno 9.746. detorsit veniens, portaeque infigitur hasta. 9.747. At non hoc telum, mea quod vi dextera versat, 9.749. Sic ait et sublatum alte consurgit in ensem 9.750. et mediam ferro gemina inter tempora frontem 9.751. dividit inpubesque immani volnere malas. 9.752. Fit sonus, ingenti concussa est pondere tellus: 9.753. conlapsos artus atque arma cruenta cerebro 9.754. sternit humi moriens, atque illi partibus aequis 9.755. huc caput atque illuc umero ex utroque pependit. 9.756. Diffugiunt versi trepida formidine Troes: 9.757. et si continuo victorem ea cura subisset, 9.758. rumpere claustra manu sociosque immittere portis, 9.759. ultimus ille dies bello gentique fuisset; 9.760. sed furor ardentem caedisque insana cupido 9.761. egit in adversos. 9.762. Principio Phalerim et succiso poplite Gygen 9.763. excipit; hinc raptas fugientibus ingerit hastas 9.764. in tergum, Iuno vires animumque ministrat; 9.765. addit Halym comitem et confixa Phegea parma, 9.766. ignaros deinde in muris Martemque cientis 9.767. Alcandrumque Haliumque Noemonaque Prytanimque. 9.768. Lyncea tendentem contra sociosque vocantem 9.769. vibranti gladio conixus ab aggere dexter 9.770. occupat; huic uno desectum comminus ictu 9.771. cum galea longe iacuit caput. Inde ferarum 9.772. vastatorem Amycum, quo non felicior alter 9.773. ungere tela manu ferrumque armare veneno, 9.774. et Clytium Aeoliden et amicum Crethea Musis, 9.775. Crethea Musarum comitem, cui carmina semper 9.776. et citharae cordi numerosque intendere nervis.
10.260. Iamque in conspectu Teucros habet et sua castra, 10.261. stans celsa in puppi; clipeum cum deinde sinistra 10.262. extulit ardentem. Clamorem ad sidera tollunt
10.271. funditur et vastos umbo vomit aureus ignes: 10.272. non secus ac liquida siquando nocte cometae 10.273. sanguinei lugubre rubent aut Sirius ardor, 10.274. ille sitim morbosque ferens mortalibus aegris, 10.275. nascitur et laevo contristat lumine caelum.
10.557. Istic nunc, metuende, iace. Non te optima mater 10.558. condet humi patrioque onerabit membra sepulchro: 10.559. alitibus linquere feris aut gurgite mersum 10.560. unda feret piscesque impasti volnera lambent.
11.80. Addit equos et tela, quibus spoliaverat hostem.
11.89. Post bellator equus positis insignibus Aethon 11.90. it lacrimans guttisque umectat grandibus ora.
11.492. qualis ubi abruptis fugit praesaepia vinclis 11.493. tandem liber equus campoque potitus aperto 11.494. aut ille in pastus armentaque tendit equarum 1

Behold, 1.753. we few swam hither, waifs upon your shore! 1.754. What race of mortals this? What barbarous land, 1.755. that with inhospitable laws ye thrust 1.756. a stranger from your coasts, and fly to arms, ' "

2.501. thus, all unchallenged, hailed us as his own : 2.502. “Haste, heroes! Are ye laggards at this hour?
2.533. eeking their safe ships and the friendly shore. 2.534. Some cowards foul went clambering back again 2.536. But woe is me! If gods their help withhold, ' "2.537. 't is impious to be brave. That very hour " '2.538. the fair Cassandra passed us, bound in chains, ' "2.539. King Priam's virgin daughter, from the shrine " '2.540. and altars of Minerva; her loose hair 2.541. had lost its fillet; her impassioned eyes 2.542. were lifted in vain prayer,—her eyes alone! 2.543. For chains of steel her frail, soft hands confined. ' "2.544. Coroebus' eyes this horror not endured, " '2.545. and, sorrow-crazed, he plunged him headlong in 2.546. the midmost fray, self-offered to be slain, 2.547. while in close mass our troop behind him poured. 2.548. But, at this point, the overwhelming spears 2.549. of our own kinsmen rained resistless down 2.550. from a high temple-tower; and carnage wild 2.551. ensued, because of the Greek arms we bore 2.552. and our false crests. The howling Grecian band, ' "2.553. crazed by Cassandra's rescue, charged at us " '2.554. from every side; Ajax of savage soul, 2.555. the sons of Atreus, and that whole wild horde 2.556. Achilles from Dolopian deserts drew. ' "2.557. 'T was like the bursting storm, when gales contend, " '2.558. west wind and South, and jocund wind of morn
2.590. The Greek besiegers to the roof-tops fled; 2.762. I stood there sole surviving; when, behold,
3.462. I, the slave-wife, to Helenus was given,
3.497. while favoring breezes beckoned us to sea, 3.498. and swelled the waiting canvas as they blew.

She can cling
5.407. bright-tipped with burnished steel, and battle-axe
5.613. the helmet and the sword—but left behind ' "5.614. Entellus' prize of victory, the bull. " '5.615. He, then, elate and glorying, spoke forth:
6.18. Prophetic gifts, unfolding things to come. 6.20. Here Daedalus, the ancient story tells, ' "6.21. Escaping Minos' power, and having made " '6.22. Hazard of heaven on far-mounting wings, 6.23. Floated to northward, a cold, trackless way, ' "6.24. And lightly poised, at last, o'er Cumae 's towers. " '6.25. Here first to earth come down, he gave to thee 6.26. His gear of wings, Apollo! and ordained 6.27. Vast temples to thy name and altars fair. ' "6.28. On huge bronze doors Androgeos' death was done; " "6.29. And Cecrops' children paid their debt of woe, " '6.30. Where, seven and seven,—0 pitiable sight!— 6.31. The youths and maidens wait the annual doom, 6.32. Drawn out by lot from yonder marble urn. 6.33. Beyond, above a sea, lay carven Crete :—
6.126. Through Italy ; the cause of so much ill ' "
6.469. So blind they were!—a wrecker's prize and spoil. " '
6.489. But heed my words, and in thy memory 6.490. Cherish and keep, to cheer this evil time. 6.491. Lo, far and wide, led on by signs from Heaven, 6.492. Thy countrymen from many a templed town 6.493. Shall consecrate thy dust, and build thy tomb, ' "
6.756. And Jove's own fire. In chariot of four steeds, " '6.757. Brandishing torches, he triumphant rode ' "6.758. Through throngs of Greeks, o'er Elis ' sacred way, " '6.759. Demanding worship as a god. 0 fool!
6.806. Not with a hundred mouths, a hundred tongues,
6.836. Or smites with ivory point his golden lyre. 6.837. Here Trojans be of eldest, noblest race, 6.838. Great-hearted heroes, born in happier times, 6.839. Ilus, Assaracus, and Dardanus, 6.840. Illustrious builders of the Trojan town.
6.860. And each bright brow a snow-white fillet wears. 6.861. Unto this host the Sibyl turned, and hailed 6.862. Musaeus, midmost of a numerous throng, ' "6.863. Who towered o'er his peers a shoulder higher: " '6.864. “0 spirits blest! 0 venerable bard! 6.865. Declare what dwelling or what region holds 6.866. Anchises, for whose sake we twain essayed 6.867. Yon passage over the wide streams of hell.” 6.868. And briefly thus the hero made reply: 6.869. “No fixed abode is ours. In shadowy groves ' "
7.651. Ascanius, eager for a hunter's praise, " "
7.783. and on th' unheeding air: “Alas,” said he, " '7.784. “My doom is shipwreck, and the tempest bears 7.785. my bark away! O wretches, your own blood 7.786. hall pay the forfeit for your impious crime. 7.787. O Turnus! O abominable deed! 7.788. Avenging woes pursue thee; to deaf gods 7.789. thy late and unavailing prayer shall rise. 7.790. Now was my time to rest. But as I come ' "7.791. close to my journey's end, thou spoilest me " '7.792. of comfort in my death.” With this the King
8.196. no envoys have I sent, nor tried thy mind 8.197. with artful first approaches, but myself,
8.301. the cavern door, and broken the big chains,
8.521. wift as the glittering shaft of thunder cleaves
8.685. Therefore go forth, O bravest chief and King 8.686. of Troy and Italy ! To thee I give 8.687. the hope and consolation of our throne, 8.688. pallas, my son, and bid him find in thee 8.689. a master and example, while he learns ' "8.690. the soldier's arduous toil. With thy brave deeds " '8.691. let him familiar grow, and reverence thee 8.692. with youthful love and honor. In his train 8.693. two hundred horsemen of Arcadia, 8.694. our choicest men-at-arms, shall ride; and he 8.695. in his own name an equal band shall bring 8.696. to follow only thee.” Such the discourse. 8.697. With meditative brows and downcast eyes 8.698. Aeneas and Achates, sad at heart, 8.699. mused on unnumbered perils yet to come. ' "8.700. But out of cloudless sky Cythera's Queen " "8.701. gave sudden signal: from th' ethereal dome " '8.702. a thunder-peal and flash of quivering fire 8.703. tumultuous broke, as if the world would fall, 8.704. and bellowing Tuscan trumpets shook the air. 8.705. All eyes look up. Again and yet again 8.706. crashed the terrible din, and where the sky 8.707. looked clearest hung a visionary cloud, 8.708. whence through the brightness blazed resounding arms. ' "8.709. All hearts stood still. But Troy 's heroic son " '8.710. knew that his mother in the skies redeemed 8.711. her pledge in sound of thunder: so he cried, 8.712. “Seek not, my friend, seek not thyself to read ' "8.713. the meaning of the omen. 'T is to me " '
9.59. his laggard host, and, leading in his train 9.60. a score of chosen knights, dashed into view 9.61. hard by the walls. A barb of Thracian breed 9.62. dappled with white he rode; a crimson plume 9.63. flamed over his golden helmet. “Who,” he cries, 9.64. “Is foremost at the foe? Who follows me?
9.307. a neighboring watch, who, bringing prompt relief,
9.359. by great Assaracus, and every shrine 9.360. of venerable Vesta, I confide 9.361. my hopes, my fortunes, and all future weal 9.362. to your heroic hearts. O, bring me back 9.363. my father! Set him in these eyes once more! 9.364. That day will tears be dry; and I will give ' "9.365. two silver wine-cups graven and o'erlaid " '9.366. with clear-cut figures, which my father chose
9.446. that no man smite behind us. I myself 9.447. will mow the mighty fieid, and lead thee on 9.448. in a wide swath of slaughter.” With this word 9.449. he shut his lips; and hurled him with his sword
9.481. the youth thrust home his sword, then drew it back 9.482. death-dripping, while the bursting purple stream 9.483. of life outflowed, with mingling blood and wine. 9.484. Then, flushed with stealthy slaughter, he crept near 9.485. the followers of Messapus, where he saw 9.486. their camp-fire dying down, and tethered steeds 9.487. upon the meadow feeding. Nisus then 9.488. knew the hot lust of slaughter had swept on 9.489. too far, and cried, “Hold off! For, lo, 9.490. the monitory dawn is nigh. Revenge 9.491. has fed us to the full. We have achieved 9.492. clean passage through the foe.” Full many a prize 9.493. was left untaken: princely suits of mail 9.494. enwrought with silver pure, huge drinking-bowls, 9.495. and broideries fair. Yet grasped Euryalus ' "9.496. the blazonry at Rhamnes' corselet hung, " '9.497. and belt adorned with gold: which were a gift
9.717. Here grim Mezentius, terrible to see, 9.718. waved an Etrurian pine, and made his war 9.719. with smoking firebrands; there, in equal rage, ' "9.720. Messapus, the steed-tamer, Neptune's son, " '9.721. ripped down the palisade, and at the breach 9.723. Aid, O Calliope, the martial song! 9.724. Tell me what carnage and how many deaths 9.725. the sword of Turnus wrought: what peer in arms 9.726. each hero to the world of ghosts sent down.
9.728. A tower was there, well-placed and looming large, 9.729. with many a lofty bridge, which desperately ' "9.730. th' Italians strove to storm, and strangely plied " '9.731. besieging enginery to cast it down: 9.732. the Trojans hurled back stones, or, standing close, 9.733. flung through the loopholes a swift shower of spears. 9.734. But Turnus launched a firebrand, and pierced 9.735. the wooden wall with flame, which in the wind 9.736. leaped larger, and devoured from floor to floor, 9.737. burning each beam away. The trembling guards 9.738. ought flight in vain; and while they crowded close 9.739. into the side unkindled yet, the tower 9.740. bowed its whole weight and fell, with sudden crash 9.741. that thundered through the sky. Along the ground 9.742. half dead the warriors fell (the crushing mass 9.743. piled over them) by their own pointed spears 9.744. pierced to the heart, or wounded mortally 9.745. by cruel splinters of the wreck. Two men, 9.746. Helenor one, and Lyeus at his side, 9.747. alone get free. Helenor of the twain 9.748. was a mere youth; the slave Lycymnia 9.749. bore him in secret to the Lydian King, 9.750. and, arming him by stealth, had sent away 9.751. to serve the Trojan cause. One naked sword 9.752. for arms had he, and on his virgin shield 9.753. no blazon of renown; but when he saw 9.754. the hosts of Turnus front him, and the lines 9.755. this way and that of Latins closing round, — 9.756. as a fierce, forest-creature, brought to bay 9.757. in circling pack of huntsmen, shows its teeth 9.758. against the naked spears, and scorning death 9.759. leaps upward on the javelins,—even so, 9.760. not loth to die, the youthful soldier flew 9.761. traight at the centre of his foes, and where 9.762. the shining swords looked thickest, there he sprung. 9.763. But Lyeus, swifter-footed, forced his way 9.764. past the opposing spears and made escape 9.765. far as the ciity-wall, where he would fain 9.766. clutch at the coping and climb up to clasp 9.767. ome friend above: but Turnus, spear in hand, 9.768. had hotly followed, and exulting loud 9.769. thus taunted him, “Hadst thou the hope, rash fool, 9.770. beyond this grasp to fly?” So, as he clung, 9.771. he tore him down; and with him broke and fell 9.772. a huge piece of the wall: not otherwise 9.773. a frail hare, or a swan of snow-white wing, 9.774. is clutched in eagle-talons, when the bird 9.775. of Jove soars skyward with his prey; or tender lamb 9.776. from bleating mother and the broken fold 9.777. is stolen by the wolf of Mars. Wild shouts
10.260. Nor thy renown may I forget, brave chief 10.261. of the Ligurians, Cinyrus; nor thine, 10.262. Cupavo, with few followers, thy crest
10.271. on high, and sped in music through the stars. 10.272. His son with bands of youthful peers urged on 10.273. a galley with a Centaur for its prow, ' "10.274. which loomed high o'er the waves, and seemed to hurl " '10.275. a huge stone at the water, as the keel
10.557. But the fierce warrior Halaesus next 10.558. led on the charge, behind his skilful shield 10.559. close-crouching. Ladon and Demodocus 10.560. and Pheres he struck down; his glittering blade ' "
11.80. father's tears:—poor solace and too small " '
11.89. of color still undimmed and leaf unmarred; 11.90. but from the breast of mother-earth no more
11.492. and front thy own brave bosom to the foe. 11.493. for, lo, that Turnus on his wedding day 11.494. may win a princess, our cheap, common lives— 1
1.495. we the mere mob, unwept, unsepulchred— 11.496. must be spilled forth in battle! Thou, I say, 11.497. if there be mettle in thee and some drops
11.901. he smote Amastrus, son of Hippotas;
12.4. gaze all his way, fierce rage implacable 12.5. wells his high heart. As when on Libyan plain 1
2.6. a lion, gashed along his tawny breast ' "12.7. by the huntsman's grievous thrust, awakens him " '12.8. unto his last grim fight, and gloriously
1
2.64. who even now thy absence daily mourns 1
2.65. in Ardea, his native land and thine.” ' "1
2.66. But to this pleading Turnus' frenzied soul " '1
2.67. yields not at all, but rather blazes forth 1
2.68. more wildly, and his fever fiercer burns ' "1
2.69. beneath the healer's hand. In answer he, " '
12.82. from these new terms of duel, wept aloud,
12.327. those Trojan sons of Heaven making league ' "12.878. Scarce had he said, when through the foeman's line " '
12.931. o through the scattered legions Turnus ran 12.932. traight to the city walls, where all the ground 12.933. was drenched with blood, and every passing air ' "12.941. But Sire Aeneas, hearing Turnus' name, " '12.942. down the steep rampart from the citadel 12.943. unlingering tried, all lesser task laid by, 12.944. with joy exultant and dread-thundering arms. ' "12.945. Like Athos ' crest he loomed, or soaring top " '12.946. of Eryx, when the nodding oaks resound, 12.947. or sovereign Apennine that lifts in air 12.948. his forehead of triumphant snow. All eyes 12.949. of Troy, Rutulia, and Italy 12.950. were fixed his way; and all who kept a guard 12.951. on lofty rampart, or in siege below ' '. None |
