A beggar bears his fellow-beggar spite, 27. Likewise all singers. Perses, understand 28. My verse, don’t let the evil Strife invite 29. Your heart to shrink from work and make you gaze 30. And listen to the quarrels in the square - 31. No time for quarrels or to spend one’s day 32. In public life when in your granary there 33. Is not stored up a year’s stock of the grain 34. Demeter grants the earth. Get in that store, 35. Then you may wrangle, struggling to obtain 36. Other men’s goods – a chance shall come no more 37. To do this. Let’s set straight our wrangling 38. With Zeus’s laws, so excellent and fair. 39. We split our goods in two, but, capturing 40. The greater part, you carried it from there 41. And praised those kings, bribe-eaters, who adore
111. As well, in silence, for Zeus took away'
118. of gold, existing under Cronus’ reign 119. When he ruled Heaven. There was not a trace 120. of woe among them since they felt no pain; 121. There was no dread old age but, always rude 122. of health, away from grief, they took delight 123. In plenty, while in death they seemed subdued 124. By sleep. Life-giving earth, of its own right, 1
25. Would bring forth plenteous fruit. In harmony 126. They lived, with countless flocks of sheep, at ease 127. With all the gods. But when this progeny 128. Was buried underneath the earth – yet these 129. Live on, land-spirits, holy, pure and blessed, 130. Who guard mankind from evil, watching out 131. For all the laws and heinous deeds, while dressed 132. In misty vapour, roaming all about 133. The land, bestowing wealth, this kingly right 134. Being theirs – a second race the Olympians made, 135. A silver one, far worse, unlike, in sight 136. And mind, the golden, for a young child stayed, 137. A large bairn, in his mother’s custody, 138. Just playing inside for a hundred years. 139. But when they all reached their maturity, 140. They lived a vapid life, replete with tears, 141. Through foolishness, unable to forbear 142. To brawl, spurning the gods, refusing, too, 143. To sacrifice (a law kept everywhere). 144. Then Zeus, since they would not give gods their due, 145. In rage hid them, as did the earth – all men 146. Have called the race Gods Subterranean, 147. Second yet honoured still. A third race then 148. Zeus fashioned out of bronze, quite different than 149. The second, with ash spears, both dread and stout; 150. They liked fell warfare and audacity; 151. They ate no corn, encased about 152. With iron, full invincibility 153. In hands, limbs, shoulders, and the arms they plied 154. Were bronze, their houses, too, their tools; they knew 155. of no black iron. Later, when they died 156. It was self-slaughter – they descended to 157. Chill Hades’ mouldy house, without a name. 158. Yes, black death took them off, although they’d been 159. Impetuous, and they the sun’s bright flame 160. Would see no more, nor would this race be seen 161. Themselves, screened by the earth. Cronus’ son then 162. Fashioned upon the lavish land one more, 163. The fourth, more just and brave – of righteous men, 164. Called demigods. It was the race before 165. Our own upon the boundless earth. Foul war 166. And dreadful battles vanquished some of these, 167. While some in Cadmus’ Thebes, while looking for 168. The flocks of Oedipus, found death. The sea 169. Took others as they crossed to Troy fight 170. For fair-tressed Helen. They were screened as well 171. In death. Lord Zeus arranged it that they might 172. Live far from others. Thus they came to dwell, 173. Carefree, among the blessed isles, content 174. And affluent, by the deep-swirling sea. 175. Sweet grain, blooming three times a year, was sent 176. To them by the earth, that gives vitality 177. To all mankind, and Cronus was their lord, 178. Far from the other gods, for Zeus, who reign 179. Over gods and men, had cut away the cord 180. That bound him. Though the lowest race, its gain 181. Were fame and glory. A fifth progeny 182. All-seeing Zeus produced, who populated 183. The fecund earth. I wish I could not be 184. Among them, but instead that I’d been fated 185. To be born later or be in my grave 186. Already: for it is of iron made. 187. Each day in misery they ever slave, 188. And even in the night they do not fade 189. Away. The gods will give to them great woe 190. But mix good with the bad. Zeus will destroy 191. Them too when babies in their cribs shall grow 192. Grey hair. No bond a father with his boy 193. Shall share, nor guest with host, nor friend with friend – 194. No love of brothers as there was erstwhile, 195. Respect for aging parents at an end. 196. Their wretched children shall with words of bile 197. Find fault with them in their irreverence 198. And not repay their bringing up. We’ll find 199. Cities brought down. There’ll be no deference 200. That’s given to the honest, just and kind. 201. The evil and the proud will get acclaim, 202. Might will be right and shame shall cease to be, 203. The bad will harm the good whom they shall maim 204. With crooked words, swearing false oaths. We’ll see 205. Envy among the wretched, foul of face 206. And voice, adoring villainy, and then 207. Into Olympus from the endless space 208. Mankind inhabits, leaving mortal men, 209. Fair flesh veiled by white robes, shall Probity 210. And Shame depart, and there’ll be grievous pain 211. For men: against all evil there shall be 212. No safeguard. Now I’ll tell, for lords who know 213. What it purports, a fable: once, on high, 214. Clutched in its talon-grip, a bird of prey 215. Took off a speckled nightingale whose cry 216. Was “Pity me”, but, to this bird’s dismay, 217. He said disdainfully: “You silly thing, 218. Why do you cry? A stronger one by far 219. Now has you. Although you may sweetly sing, 220. You go where I decide. Perhaps you are 221. My dinner or perhaps I’ll let you go. 222. A fool assails a stronger, for he’ll be 223. The loser, suffering scorn as well as woe.” 224. Thus spoke the swift-winged bird. Listen to me, 2
25. Perses – heed justice and shun haughtiness; 226. It aids no common man: nobles can’t stay 227. It easily because it will oppre 228. Us all and bring disgrace. The better way 229. Is Justice, who will outstrip Pride at last. 230. Fools learn this by experience because 231. The God of Oaths, by running very fast, 232. Keeps pace with and requites all crooked laws. 233. When men who swallow bribes and crookedly 234. Pass sentences and drag Justice away, 235. There’s great turmoil, and then, in misery 236. Weeping and covered in a misty spray, 237. She comes back to the city, carrying
649. One who is nursing). You must take good care 650. of your sharp-toothed dog; do not scant his meat '. None |

Now will I tell the captains of the ships and the ships in their order.of the Boeotians Peneleos and Leïtus were captains, 2.495. and Arcesilaus and Prothoënor and Clonius; these were they that dwelt in Hyria and rocky Aulis and Schoenus and Scolus and Eteonus with its many ridges, Thespeia, Graea, and spacious Mycalessus; and that dwelt about Harma and Eilesium and Erythrae; 2.500. and that held Eleon and Hyle and Peteon, Ocalea and Medeon, the well-built citadel, Copae, Eutresis, and Thisbe, the haunt of doves; that dwelt in Coroneia and grassy Haliartus, and that held Plataea and dwelt in Glisas; 2.505. that held lower Thebe, the well-built citadel, and holy Onchestus, the bright grove of Poseidon; and that held Arne, rich in vines, and Mideia and sacred Nisa and Anthedon on the seaboard. of these there came fifty ships, and on board of each 2.510. /went young men of the Boeotians an hundred and twenty. 2.514. went young men of the Boeotians an hundred and twenty. And they that dwelt in Aspledon and Orchomenus of the Minyae were led by Ascalaphus and Ialmenus, sons of Ares, whom, in the palace of Actor, son of Azeus, Astyoche, the honoured maiden, conceived of mighty Ares, when she had entered into her upper chamber; 2.515. for he lay with her in secret. And with these were ranged thirty hollow ships.And of the Phocians Schedius and Epistrophus were captains, sons of great-souled Iphitus, son of Naubolus; these were they that held Cyparissus and rocky Pytho, 2.520. and sacred Crisa and Daulis and Panopeus; and that dwelt about Anemoreia and Hyampolis, and that lived beside the goodly river Cephisus, and that held Lilaea by the springs of Cephisus. With these followed forty black ships. 2.525. And their leaders busily marshalled the ranks of the Phocians, and made ready for battle hard by the Boeotians on the left.And the Loerians had as leader the swift son of Oïleus, Aias the less, in no wise as great as Telamonian Aias, but far less. Small of stature was he, with corselet of linen, 2.530. /but with the spear he far excelled the whole host of Hellenes and Achaeans. These were they that dwelt in Cynus and Opus and Calliarus and Bessa and Scarphe and lovely Augeiae and Tarphe and Thronium about the streams of Boagrius. With Aias followed forty black ships of 2.535. the Locrians that dwell over against sacred Euboea.And the Abantes, breathing fury, that held Euboea and Chalcis and Eretria and Histiaea, rich in vines, and Cerinthus, hard by the sea, and the steep citadel of Dios; and that held Carystus and dwelt in Styra,— 2.540. all these again had as leader Elephenor, scion of Ares, him that was son of Chalcodon and captain of the great-souled Abantes. And with him followed the swift Abantes, with hair long at the back, spearmen eager with outstretched ashen spears to rend the corselets about the breasts of the foemen. 2.545. /And with him there followed forty black ships. 2.549. And with him there followed forty black ships. And they that held Athens, the well-built citadel, the land of great-hearted Erechtheus, whom of old Athene, daughter of Zeus, fostered, when the earth, the giver of grain, had borne him; and she made him to dwell in Athens, in her own rich sanctuary, 2.550. and there the youths of the Athenians, as the years roll on in their courses, seek to win his favour with sacrifices of bulls and rams;—these again had as leader Menestheus, son of Peteos. Like unto him was none other man upon the face of the earth for the marshalling of chariots and of warriors that bear the shield. 2.555. Only Nestor could vie with him, for he was the elder. And with him there followed fifty black ships.And Aias led from Salamis twelve ships, and stationed them where the battalions of the Athenians stood.And they that held Argos and Tiryns, famed for its walls, 2.560. and Hermione and Asine, that enfold the deep gulf, Troezen and Eïonae and vine-clad Epidaurus, and the youths of the Achaeans that held Aegina and Mases,—these again had as leaders Diomedes, good at the war-cry, and Sthenelus, dear son of glorious Capaneus. 2.565. And with them came a third, Euryalus, a godlike warrior, son of king Mecisteus, son of Talaus; but leader over them all was Diomedes, good at the war-cry.

They had neither knowledge of houses built of bricks and turned to face the sun nor yet of work in wood; but dwelt beneath the ground like swarming ants, in sunless caves. They had no sign either of winter 455. or of flowery spring or of fruitful summer, on which they could depend but managed everything without judgment, until I taught them to discern the risings of the stars and their settings, which are difficult to distinguish. Yes, and numbers, too, chiefest of sciences, 460. I invented for them, and the combining of letters, creative mother of the Muses’ arts, with which to hold all things in memory. I, too, first brought brute beasts beneath the yoke to be subject to the collar and the pack-saddle, so that they might bear in men’s stead their 465. heaviest burdens; and to the chariot I harnessed horses and made them obedient to the rein, to be an image of wealth and luxury.

None | 1.68. It was Lichas, one of these men, who found the tomb in Tegea by a combination of luck and skill. At that time there was free access to Tegea, so he went into a blacksmith's shop and watched iron being forged, standing there in amazement at what he saw done. ,The smith perceived that he was amazed, so he stopped what he was doing and said, “My Laconian guest, if you had seen what I saw, then you would really be amazed, since you marvel so at ironworking. ,I wanted to dig a well in the courtyard here, and in my digging I hit upon a coffin twelve feet long. I could not believe that there had ever been men taller than now, so I opened it and saw that the corpse was just as long as the coffin. I measured it and then reburied it.” So the smith told what he had seen, and Lichas thought about what was said and reckoned that this was Orestes, according to the oracle. ,In the smith's two bellows he found the winds, hammer and anvil were blow upon blow, and the forging of iron was woe upon woe, since he figured that iron was discovered as an evil for the human race. ,After reasoning this out, he went back to Sparta and told the Lacedaemonians everything. They made a pretence of bringing a charge against him and banishing him. Coming to Tegea, he explained his misfortune to the smith and tried to rent the courtyard, but the smith did not want to lease it. ,Finally he persuaded him and set up residence there. He dug up the grave and collected the bones, then hurried off to Sparta with them. Ever since then the Spartans were far superior to the Tegeans whenever they met each other in battle. By the time of Croesus' inquiry, the Spartans had subdued most of the Peloponnese . " '
1.146. For this reason, and for no other, the Ionians too made twelve cities; for it would be foolishness to say that these are more truly Ionian or better born than the other Ionians; since not the least part of them are Abantes from Euboea, who are not Ionians even in name, and there are mingled with them Minyans of Orchomenus, Cadmeans, Dryopians, Phocian renegades from their nation, Molossians, Pelasgian Arcadians, Dorians of Epidaurus, and many other tribes; ,and as for those who came from the very town-hall of Athens and think they are the best born of the Ionians, these did not bring wives with them to their settlements, but married Carian women whose parents they had put to death. ,For this slaughter, these women made a custom and bound themselves by oath (and enjoined it on their daughters) that no one would sit at table with her husband or call him by his name, because the men had married them after slaying their fathers and husbands and sons. This happened at Miletus . 1.147. And as kings, some of them chose Lycian descendants of Glaucus son of Hippolochus, and some Caucones of Pylus, descendants of Codrus son of Melanthus, and some both. Yet since they set more store by the name than the rest of the Ionians, let it be granted that those of pure birth are Ionians; ,and all are Ionians who are of Athenian descent and keep the feast 4.26. It is said to be the custom of the Issedones that, whenever a man's father dies, all the nearest of kin bring beasts of the flock and, having killed these and cut up the flesh, they also cut up the dead father of their host, and set out all the flesh mixed together for a feast. ,As for his head, they strip it bare and clean and gild it, and keep it for a sacred relic, to which they offer solemn sacrifice yearly. Every son does this for his father, just like the Greeks in their festivals in honor of the dead. In other respects, these are said to be a law-abiding people, too, and the women to have equal power with the men. "". None |

167. apart from all the rest, because I knew, first of all, how constant was your reverence for the power of the throne of Laius; how, again, you were reverent, when Oedipus was guiding our city; and lastly, how, when he was dead, you still maintained loyal thoughts towards his children.
182. but because of some fear keeps his lips locked, then, in my judgment, he is and has long been the most cowardly traitor. And if any man thinks a friend more important than his fatherland, that man, I say, is of no account. Zeus, god who sees all things always, be my witness—
189. I would not be silent if I saw ruin, instead of safety, marching upon the citizens. Nor would I ever make a man who is hostile to my country a friend to myself, because I know this, that our country is the ship that bears us safe, and that only when 190. we sail her on a straight course can we make true friends. Such are the rules by which I strengthen this city. Akin to these is the edict which I have now published to the citizenry concerning the sons of Oedipus: Eteocles, who fell fighting
454. Yes, since it was not Zeus that published me that edict, and since not of that kind are the laws which Justice who dwells with the gods below established among men. Nor did I think that your decrees were of such force, that a mortal could override the unwritten 455. and unfailing statutes given us by the gods. For their life is not of today or yesterday, but for all time, and no man knows when they were first put forth. Not for fear of any man’s pride was I about to owe a penalty to the gods for breaking these.
794. You seize the minds of just men and drag them to injustice, to their ruin. You it is who have incited this conflict of men whose flesh and blood are one.
800. For in all this divine Aphrodite plays her irresistible game. 801. But now, witnessing this, I too am carried beyond the bounds of loyalty. The power fails me to keep back my streaming tears any longer, when I see Antigone making her way to the chamber where all are laid to rest,

After the purifying sacrifice has been carried round“It was custom at Athens to purify the ecclesia, the theatres, and the gatherings of the people in general by the sacrifice of very small pigs, which they named kaqa/rsia.”—Harpocration and the herald has offered the traditional prayers, the presiding officers are commanded to declare to be next in order the discussion of matters pertaining to the national religion, the reception of heralds and ambassadors, and the discussion of secular matters.The above interpretation is confirmed by Aristot. Const. Ath. 43.1.29 f., where we find the same phraseology, evidently that of the law itself. Heralds, whose person was inviolate even in time of war, were often sent to carry messages from one state to another. They frequently prepared the way for negotiations to be conducted by ambassadors, appointed for the special occasion. The herald then asks, “Who of those above fifty years of age wishes to address the assembly?” When all these have spoken, he then invites any other Athenian to speak who wishes (provided such privileges belongs to him).That is, any citizen who is not disqualified by some loss of civic privilege inflicted as a penalty. Aeschines has in mind the fact that a man like Timarchus would not have the privilege. ''. None |

Moreover if we care to compare our national characteristics with those of foreign peoples, we shall find that, while in all other respects we are only the equals or even the inferiors of others, yet in the sense of religion, that is, in reverence for the gods, we are far superior.

Now might one deem a bursting storm-cloud rolled, Now that a rock flew skyward, flung aloft By wind and storm, or whirling waterspout Rose from the clash of wave with warring wave; Save 'twere land-havoc wrought by ocean-flood, Or Triton's trident, heaving up the roots of cavernous vaults beneath the billowy sea, Hurled from the depth heaven-high a massy crag. At first he wonders what the unknown creature that he beholds may be. Then when he sees the warriors and hears the singing of the sailors, he goes on: the sportive dolphins swift Forge snorting through the foam — and so on and so on — Brings to my ears and hearing such a tune As old Silvanus piped.

| 4.41. 1. \xa0First of all, in the vicinity of Mount Pelion he built a ship which far surpassed in its size and in its equipment in general any vessel known in those days, since the men of that time put to sea on rafts or in very small boats. Consequently those who saw the ship at the time were greatly astonished, and when the report was noised about throughout Greece both of the exploit of the enterprise of building the ship, no small number of the youths of prominence were eager to take part in the expedition.,2. \xa0Jason, then, after he had launched the ship and fitted it out in brilliant fashion with everything which would astonish the mind, picked out the most renowned chieftains from those who were eager to share his plan, with the result that the whole number of those in his company amounted to fifty-four. of these the most famous were Castor and Polydeuces, Heracles and Telamon, Orpheus and Atalantê the daughter of Schoeneus, and the sons of Thespius, and the leader himself who was setting out on the voyage to Colchis.,3. \xa0The vessel was called Argo after Argus, as some writers of myths record, who was the master-builder of the ship and went along on the voyage in order to repair the parts of the vessel as they were strained from time to time, but, as some say, after its exceeding great swiftness, since the ancients called what is swift Argos. Now after the chieftains had gathered together they chose Heracles to be their general, preferring him because of his courage.
4.45. 1. \xa0Since it is the task of history to inquire into the reasons for this slaying of strangers, we must discuss these reasons briefly, especially since the digression on this subject will be appropriate in connection with the deeds of the Argonauts. We are told, that is, that Helius had two sons, Aeëtes and Perses, Aeëtes being king of Colchis and the other king of the Tauric Chersonese, and that both of them were exceedingly cruel.,2. \xa0And Perses had a daughter Hecatê, who surpassed her father in boldness and lawlessness; she was also fond of hunting, and with she had no luck she would turn her arrows upon human beings instead of the beasts.,3. \xa0Being likewise ingenious in the mixing of deadly poisons she discovered the drug called aconite and tried out the strength of each poison by mixing it in the food given to the strangers.,4. \xa0And since she possessed great experience in such matters she first of all poisoned her father and so succeeded to the throne, and then, founding a temple of Artemis and commanding that strangers who landed there should be sacrificed to the goddess, she became known far and wide for her cruelty.,5. \xa0After this she married Aeëtes and bore two daughters, Circê and Medea, and a son Aegialeus.,6. \xa0Although Circê also, it is said, devoted herself to the devising of all kinds of drugs and discovered roots of all manner of natures and potencies such as are difficult to credit, yet, notwithstanding that she was taught by her mother Hecatê about not a\xa0few drugs, she discovered by her own study a far greater number, so that she left to the other woman no superiority whatever in the matter of devising uses of drugs.,7. \xa0She was given in marriage to the king of the Sarmatians, whom some call Scythians, and first she poisoned her husband and after that, succeeding to the throne, she committed many cruel and violent acts against her subjects.,8. \xa0For this reason she was deposed from her throne and, according to some writers of myths, fled to the ocean, where she seized a desert island, and there established herself with the women who had fled with her, though according to some historians she left the Pontus and settled in Italy on a promontory which to this day bears after her the name Circaeum.'

Then my fierce horses turned their necks to face 15.765. the waters, and with ears erect they quaked 15.766. before the monster shape, they dashed in flight 15.767. along the rock strewn ground below the cliff. 15.768. I struggled, but with unavailing hand, 15.769. to use the reins now covered with white foam; 15.770. and throwing myself back, pulled on the thong 15.771. with weight and strength. Such effort might have checked 15.772. the madness of my steeds, had not a wheel, 15.773. triking the hub on a projecting stump, 15.774. been shattered and hurled in fragments from the axle.

My torn legs followed, but a part 15.780. remained behind me, caught by various snags. 15.781. The breaking bones gave out a crackling noise, 15.782. my tortured spirit soon had fled away, 15.783. no part of the torn body could be known— 15.784. all that was left was only one crushed wound— 15.785. how can, how dare you, nymph, compare your ill 15.786. to my disaster?

Life could not have been given again to me,' "15.791. but through the remedies Apollo's son" '15.792. applied to me. After my life returned— 15.793. by potent herbs and the Paeonian aid, 15.794. despite the will of Pluto—Cynthia then 15.795. threw heavy clouds around that I might not 15.796. be seen and cause men envy by new life: 15.797. and that she might be sure my life was safe 15.798. he made me seem an old man; and she changed 15.799. me so that I could not be recognized.

Delos and Crete abandoned, she then brought 15.803. me here, and at the same time ordered me 15.804. to lay aside my former name—one which 15.805. when mentioned would remind me of my steeds. 15.806. She said to me, ‘You were Hippolytus, 15.807. but now instead you shall be Virbius.’ 15.808. And from that time I have inhabited 15.809. this grove; and, as one of the lesser gods, 15.810.

Diana changed her body to a spring, 15.816. her limbs into a clear continual stream. 15.817. This wonderful event surprised the nymphs, 15.818. and filled Hippolytus with wonder, just 15.819. as great as when the Etrurian ploughman saw 15.820. a fate-revealing clod move of its own 15.821. accord among the fields, while not a hand 15.822. was touching it, till finally it took 15.823. a human form, without the quality 15.824. of clodded earth, and opened its new mouth 15.825. and spoke, revealing future destinies. 15.826. The natives called him Tages. He was the first 15.827. who taught Etrurians to foretell events.

Not as a spear 15.833. it then stood there, but as a rooted tree 15.834. with limber twigs for many to admire 15.835. while resting under that surprising shade.

Believing he had seen a falsity, 15.839. he often touched his forehead with his hand 15.840. and, so returning, touched the thing he saw. 15.841. Assured at last that he could trust his eyes, 15.842. he stood entranced, as if he had returned

None | 1.9.1. of the sons of Aeolus, Athamas ruled over Boeotia and begat a son Phrixus and a daughter Helle by Nephele. And he married a second wife, Ino, by whom he had Learchus and Melicertes. But Ino plotted against the children of Nephele and persuaded the women to parch the wheat; and having got the wheat they did so without the knowledge of the men. But the earth, being sown with parched wheat, did not yield its annual crops; so Athamas sent to Delphi to inquire how he might be delivered from the dearth. Now Ino persuaded the messengers to say it was foretold that the infertility would cease if Phrixus were sacrificed to Zeus. When Athamas heard that, he was forced by the inhabitants of the land to bring Phrixus to the altar. But Nephele caught him and her daughter up and gave them a ram with a golden fleece, which she had received from Hermes, and borne through the sky by the ram they crossed land and sea. But when they were over the sea which lies betwixt Sigeum and the Chersonese, Helle slipped into the deep and was drowned, and the sea was called Hellespont after her. But Phrixus came to the Colchians, whose king was Aeetes, son of the Sun and of Perseis, and brother of Circe and Pasiphae, whom Minos married. He received Phrixus and gave him one of his daughters, Chalciope. And Phrixus sacrificed the ram with the golden fleece to Zeus the god of Escape, and the fleece he gave to Aeetes, who nailed it to an oak in a grove of Ares. And Phrixus had children by Chalciope, to wit, Argus, Melas, Phrontis, and Cytisorus.
1.9.28. They went to Corinth, and lived there happily for ten years, till Creon, king of Corinth, betrothed his daughter Glauce to Jason, who married her and divorced Medea. But she invoked the gods by whom Jason had sworn, and after often upbraiding him with his ingratitude she sent the bride a robe steeped in poison, which when Glauce had put on, she was consumed with fierce fire along with her father, who went to her rescue. But Mermerus and Pheres, the children whom Medea had by Jason, she killed, and having got from the Sun a car drawn by winged dragons she fled on it to Athens . Another tradition is that on her flight she left behind her children, who were still infants, setting them as suppliants on the altar of Hera of the Height; but the Corinthians removed them and wounded them to death. Medea came to Athens, and being there married to Aegeus bore him a son Medus. Afterwards, however, plotting against Theseus, she was driven a fugitive from Athens with her son. But he conquered many barbarians and called the whole country under him Media, and marching against the Indians he met his death. And Medea came unknown to Colchis, and finding that Aeetes had been deposed by his brother Perses, she killed Perses and restored the kingdom to her father.''. None |

Some, however, say that whereas Remus truly saw his six, Romulus lied about his twelve, but that when Remus came to him, then he did see the twelve. Hence it is that at the present time also the Romans chiefly regard vultures when they take auguries from the flight of birds. Herodorus Ponticus relates that Hercules also was glad to see a vulture present itself when he was upon an exploit. 9.6. For it is the least harmful of all creatures, injures no grain, fruit-tree, or cattle, and lives on carrion. But it does not kill or maltreat anything that has life, and as for birds, it will not touch them even when they are dead, since they are of its own species.

When in the midst of the other adulations of those who congratulated and flattered him, he was hailed by the common herd as Nero, he made no sign of dissent; on the contrary, according to some writers, he even made use of that surname in his commissions and his first letters to some of the governors of the provinces. Certain it is that he suffered Nero's busts and statues to be set up again, and reinstated his procurators and freedmen in their former posts, while the first grant that he signed as emperor was one of fifty million sesterces for finishing the Golden House."".

The consuls, however, not venturing to complete the senatorial decree in form, wrote to the emperor and stated the opinion of the meeting. He, after some vacillation between shame and anger, finally wrote back that "Antistius, unprovoked by any injury, had given utterance to the most intolerable insults upon the sovereign. For those insults retribution had been demanded from the Fathers; and it would have been reasonable to fix a penalty proportioned to the gravity of the offence. Still, as he had proposed to check undue severity in their sentence, he would not interfere with their moderation; they must decide as they pleased â\x80\x94 they had been given liberty even to acquit." These observations, and the like, were read aloud, and the imperial displeasure was evident. The consuls, however, did not change the motion on that account; Thrasea did not waive his proposal; nor did the remaining members desert the cause they had approved; one section, lest it should seem to have placed the emperor in an invidious position; a\xa0majority, because there was safety in their numbers; Thrasea, through his usual firmness of temper, and a desire not to let slip the credit he had earned. <' '.

| 3.55. \xa0Vitellius was like a man wakened from a deep sleep. He ordered Julius Priscus and Alfenus Avarus to block the passes of the Apennines with fourteen praetorian cohorts and all the cavalry. A\xa0legion of marines followed them later. These thousands of armed forces, consisting too of picked men and horses, were equal to taking the offensive if they had had another leader. The rest of the cohorts Vitellius gave to his brother Lucius for the defence of Rome, while he, abating in no degree his usual life of pleasure and urged on by his lack of confidence in the future, held the comitia before the usual time, and designated the consuls for many years to come. He granted special treaties to allies and bestowed Latin rights on foreigners with a generous hand; he reduced the tribute for some provincials, he relieved others from all obligations â\x80\x94 in short, with no regard for the future he crippled the empire. But the mob attended in delight on the great indulgences that he bestowed; the most foolish citizens bought them, while the wise regarded as worthless privileges which could neither be granted nor accepted if the state was to stand. Finally Vitellius listened to the demands of his army which had stopped at Mevania, and left Rome, accompanied by a long line of senators, many of whom were drawn in his train by their desire to secure his favour, most however by fear. So he came to camp with no clear purpose in mind, an easy prey to treacherous advice.
3.71. \xa0Martialis had hardly returned to the Capitol when the soldiers arrived in fury. They had no leader; each directed his own movements. Rushing through the Forum and past the temples that rise above it, they advanced in column up the hill, as far as the first gates of the Capitoline citadel. There were then some old colonnades on the right as you go up the slopes; the defenders came out on the roofs of these and showered stones and tiles on their assailants. The latter had no arms except their swords, and they thought that it would cost too much time to send for artillery and missiles; consequently they threw firebrands on a projecting colonnade, and then followed in the path of the flames; they actually burned the gates of the Capitol and would have forced their way through, if Sabinus had not torn down all the statues, memorials to the glory of our ancestors, and piled them up across the entrance as a barricade. Then the assailants tried different approaches to the Capitol, one by the grove of the asylum and another by the hundred steps that lead up to the Tarpeian Rock. Both attacks were unexpected; but the one by the asylum was closer and more threatening. Moreover, the defenders were unable to stop those who climbed through neighbouring houses, which, built high in time of peace, reached the level of the Capitol. It is a question here whether it was the besiegers or the besieged who threw fire on the roofs. The more common tradition says this was done by the latter in their attempts to repel their assailants, who were climbing up or had reached the top. From the houses the fire spread to the colonnades adjoining the temple; then the "eagles" which supported the roof, being of old wood, caught and fed the flames. So the Capitol burned with its doors closed; none defended it, none pillaged it.' "3.72. \xa0This was the saddest and most shameful crime that the Roman state had ever suffered since its foundation. Rome had no foreign foe; the gods were ready to be propitious if our characters had allowed; and yet the home of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, founded after due auspices by our ancestors as a pledge of empire, which neither Porsenna, when the city gave itself up to him, nor the Gauls when they captured it, could violate â\x80\x94 this was the shrine that the mad fury of emperors destroyed! The Capitol had indeed been burned before in civil war, but the crime was that of private individuals. Now it was openly besieged, openly burned â\x80\x94 and what were the causes that led to arms? What was the price paid for this great disaster? This temple stood intact so long as we fought for our country. King Tarquinius Priscus had vowed it in the war with the Sabines and had laid its foundations rather to match his hope of future greatness than in accordance with what the fortunes of the Roman people, still moderate, could supply. Later the building was begun by Servius Tullius with the enthusiastic help of Rome's allies, and afterwards carried on by Tarquinius Superbus with the spoils taken from the enemy at the capture of Suessa Pometia. But the glory of completing the work was reserved for liberty: after the expulsion of the kings, Horatius Pulvillus in his second consulship dedicated it; and its magnificence was such that the enormous wealth of the Roman people acquired thereafter adorned rather than increased its splendour. The temple was built again on the same spot when after an interval of four hundred and fifteen years it had been burned in the consulship of Lucius Scipio and Gaius Norbanus. The victorious Sulla undertook the work, but still he did not dedicate it; that was the only thing that his good fortune was refused. Amid all the great works built by the Caesars the name of Lutatius Catulus kept its place down to Vitellius's day. This was the temple that then was burned." "
4.1. \xa0The death of Vitellius was rather the end of war than the beginning of peace. The victors ranged through the city in arms, pursuing their defeated foes with implacable hatred: the streets were full of carnage, the fora and temples reeked with blood; they slew right and left everyone whom chance put in their way. Presently, as their licence increased, they began to hunt out and drag into the light those who had concealed themselves; did they espy anyone who was tall and young, they cut him down, regardless whether he was soldier or civilian. Their ferocity, which found satisfaction in bloodshed while their hatred was fresh, turned then afterwards to greed. They let no place remain secret or closed, pretending that Vitellians were in hiding. This led to the forcing of private houses or, if resistance was made, became an excuse for murder. Nor was there any lack of starvelings among the mob or of the vilest slaves ready to betray their rich masters; others were pointed out by their friends. Everywhere were lamentations, cries of anguish, and the misfortunes that befall a captured city; so that the citizens actually longed for the licence of Otho's and Vitellius's soldiers, which earlier they had detested. The generals of the Flavian party, who had been quick to start the conflagration of civil war, were unequal to the task of controlling their victory, for in times of violence and civil strife the worst men have the greatest power; peace and quiet call for honest arts." '
4.17. \xa0This victory was glorious for the enemy at the moment and useful for the future. They gained arms and boats which they needed, and were greatly extolled as liberators throughout the German and Gallic provinces. The Germans at once sent delegations offering assistance; the Gallic provinces Civilis tried to win to an alliance by craft and gifts, sending back the captured prefects to their own states and giving the soldiers of the cohorts permission to go or stay as they pleased. Those who stayed were given honourable service in the army, those who left were offered spoils taken from the Romans. At the same time in private conversation he reminded them of the miseries that they had endured so many years while they falsely called their wretched servitude a peace. "The Batavians," he said, "although free from tribute, have taken up arms against our common masters. In the very first engagement the Romans have been routed and defeated. What if the Gallic provinces should throw off the yoke? What forces are there left in Italy? It is by the blood of the provinces that provinces are won. Do not think of Vindex\'s battle. It was the Batavian cavalry that crushed the Aedui and Averni; among the auxiliary forces of Verginius were Belgians, and if you consider the matter aright you will see that Gaul owed its fall to its own forces. Now all belong to the same party, and we have gained besides all the strength that military training in Roman camps can give; I\xa0have with me veteran cohorts before which Otho\'s legions lately succumbed. Let Syria, Asia, and the East, which is accustomed to kings, play the slave; there are many still alive in Gaul who were born before tribute was known. Surely it was not long ago that slavery was driven from Germany by the killing of Quintilius Varus, and the emperor whom the Germans then challenged was not a Vitellius but a Caesar Augustus. Liberty is a gift which nature has granted even to dumb animals, but courage is the peculiar blessing of man. The gods favour the braver: on, therefore, carefree against the distressed, fresh against the weary. While some favour Vespasian and others Vitellius, the field is open against both." \xa0In this way Civilis, turning his attention eagerly toward the Germanies and the Gauls, was preparing, should his plans prove successful, to gain the kingship over the strongest and richest nations. But Hordeonius Flaccus furthered his enterprises at first by affecting to be unaware of them; when, however, terrified messengers brought word of the capture of camps, the destruction of cohorts, and the expulsion of the Roman name from the island of the Batavians, he ordered Munius Lupercus, who commanded the two legions in winter quarters, to take the field against the foe. Lupercus quickly transported to the island all the legionaries that he had, as well as the Ubii from the auxiliaries quartered close by and a body of Treviran cavalry which was not far away. He joined to these forces a squadron of Batavian cavalry, which, although already won over to the other side, still pretended to be faithful, that by betraying the Romans on the very field itself it might win a greater reward for its desertion. Civilis had the standards of the captured cohorts ranged about him that his own troops might have the evidence of their newly-won glory before their eyes and that the enemy might be terrified by the memory of their defeat; he ordered his own mother and his sisters, likewise the wives and little children of all his men, to take their stand behind his troops to encourage them to victory or to shame them if defeated. When the enemy\'s line re-echoed with the men\'s singing and the women\'s cries, the shout with which the legions and cohorts answered was far from equal. Our left had already been exposed by the desertion of the Batavian horse, which at once turned against us. Yet the legionary troops kept their arms and maintained their ranks in spite of the alarming situation. The auxiliary forces made up of the Ubii and Treveri fled disgracefully and wandered in disorder over the country. The Germans made them the object of their attack, and so the legions meanwhile were able to escape to the camp called Vetera. Claudius Labeo, who was in command of the Batavian horse, had been a rival of Civilis in some local matter, and was consequently now removed to the Frisii, that he might not, if killed, excite his fellow-tribesmen to anger, or, if kept with the forces, sow seeds of discord.
4.54. \xa0In the meantime the news of the death of Vitellius, spreading through the Gallic and German provinces, had started a second war; for Civilis, now dropping all pretence, openly attacked the Roman people, and the legions of Vitellius preferred to be subject even to foreign domination rather than to obey Vespasian as emperor. The Gauls had plucked up fresh courage, believing that all our armies were everywhere in the same case, for the rumour had spread that our winter quarters in Moesia and Pannonia were being besieged by the Sarmatae and Dacians; similar stories were invented about Britain. But nothing had encouraged them to believe that the end of our rule was at hand so much as the burning of the Capitol. "Once long ago Rome was captured by the Gauls, but since Jove\'s home was unharmed, the Roman power stood firm: now this fatal conflagration has given a proof from heaven of the divine wrath and presages the passage of the sovereignty of the world to the peoples beyond the Alps." Such were the vain and superstitious prophecies of the Druids. Moreover, the report had gone abroad that the Gallic chiefs, when sent by Otho to oppose Vitellius, had pledged themselves before their departure not to fail the cause of freedom in case an unbroken series of civil wars and internal troubles destroyed the power of the Roman people.
4.72. \xa0On the next day Cerialis entered the colony of the Treviri. His soldiers were eager to plunder the town and said "This is Classicus\'s native city, and Tutor\'s as well; they are the men whose treason has caused our legions to be besieged and massacred. What monstrous crime had Cremona committed? Yet Cremona was torn from the very bosom of Italy because she delayed the victors one single night. This colony stands on the boundaries of Germany, unharmed, and rejoices in the spoils taken from our armies and in the murder of our commanders. The booty may go to the imperial treasury: it is enough for us to set fire to this rebellious colony and to destroy it, for in that way we can compensate for the destruction of so many of our camps." Cerialis feared the disgrace that he would suffer if men were to believe that he imbued his troops with a spirit of licence and cruelty, and he therefore checked their passionate anger: and they obeyed him, for now that they had given up civil war, they were more moderate with reference to foreign foes. Their attention was then attracted by the sad aspect which the legions summoned from among the Mediomatrici presented. These troops stood there, downcast by the consciousness of their own guilt, their eyes fixed on the ground: when the armies met, there was no exchange of greetings; the soldiers made no answer to those who tried to console or to encourage them; they remained hidden in their tents and avoided the very light of day. It was not so much danger and fear as a sense of their shame and disgrace that paralyzed them, while even the victors were struck dumb. The latter did not dare to speak or make entreaty, but by their tears and silence they continued to ask forgiveness for their fellows, until Cerialis at last quieted them by saying that fate was responsible for all that had resulted from the differences between the soldiers and their commanders or from the treachery of their enemies. He urged them to consider this as the first day of their service and of their allegiance, and he declared that neither the emperor nor he remembered their former misdeeds. Then they were taken into the same camp\xa0with the rest, and a proclamation was read in each company forbidding any soldier in quarrel or dispute to taunt a comrade with treason or murder.' '.

| 4.31. What says Varro himself, whom we grieve to have found, although not by his own judgment, placing the scenic plays among things divine? When in many passages he is exhorting, like a religious man, to the worship of the gods, does he not in doing so admit that he does not in his own judgment believe those things which he relates that the Roman state has instituted; so that he does not hesitate to affirm that if he were founding a new state, he could enumerate the gods and their names better by the rule of nature? But being born into a nation already ancient, he says that he finds himself bound to accept the traditional names and surnames of the gods, and the histories connected with them, and that his purpose in investigating and publishing these details is to incline the people to worship the gods, and not to despise them. By which words this most acute man sufficiently indicates that he does not publish all things, because they would not only have been contemptible to himself, but would have seemed despicable even to the rabble, unless they had been passed over in silence. I should be thought to conjecture these things, unless he himself, in another passage, had openly said, in speaking of religious rites, that many things are true which it is not only not useful for the common people to know, but that it is expedient that the people should think otherwise, even though falsely, and therefore the Greeks have shut up the religious ceremonies and mysteries in silence, and within walls. In this he no doubt expresses the policy of the so-called wise men by whom states and peoples are ruled. Yet by this crafty device the malign demons are wonderfully delighted, who possess alike the deceivers and the deceived, and from whose tyranny nothing sets free save the grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. The same most acute and learned author also says, that those alone seem to him to have perceived what God is, who have believed Him to be the soul of the world, governing it by design and reason. And by this, it appears, that although he did not attain to the truth - for the true God is not a soul, but the maker and author of the soul - yet if he could have been free to go against the prejudices of custom, he could have confessed and counselled others that the one God ought to be worshipped, who governs the world by design and reason; so that on this subject only this point would remain to be debated with him, that he had called Him a soul, and not rather the creator of the soul. He says, also, that the ancient Romans, for more than a hundred and seventy years, worshipped the gods without an image. And if this custom, he says, could have remained till now, the gods would have been more purely worshipped. In favor of this opinion, he cites as a witness among others the Jewish nation; nor does he hesitate to conclude that passage by saying of those who first consecrated images for the people, that they have both taken away religious fear from their fellow citizens, and increased error, wisely thinking that the gods easily fall into contempt when exhibited under the stolidity of images. But as he does not say they have transmitted error, but that they have increased it, he therefore wishes it to be understood that there was error already when there were no images. Wherefore, when he says they alone have perceived what God is who have believed Him to be the governing soul of the world, and thinks that the rites of religion would have been more purely observed without images, who fails to see how near he has come to the truth? For if he had been able to do anything against so inveterate an error, he would certainly have given it as his opinion both that the one God should be worshipped, and that He should be worshipped without an image; and having so nearly discovered the truth, perhaps he might easily have been put in mind of the mutability of the soul, and might thus have perceived that the true God is that immutable nature which made the soul itself. Since these things are so, whatever ridicule such men have poured in their writings against the plurality of the gods, they have done so rather as compelled by the secret will of God to confess them, than as trying to persuade others. If, therefore, any testimonies are adduced by us from these writings, they are adduced for the confutation of those who are unwilling to consider from how great and maligt a power of the demons the singular sacrifice of the shedding of the most holy blood, and the gift of the imparted Spirit, can set us free.

| 12.2.3. In this Antitaurus are deep and narrow valleys, in which are situated Comana and the sanctuary of Enyo, whom the people there call Ma. It is a considerable city; its inhabitants, however, consist mostly of the divinely inspired people and the temple-servants who live in it. Its inhabitants are Cataonians, who, though in a general way classed as subject to the king, are in most respects subject to the priest. The priest is master of the sanctuary, and also of the temple-servants, who on my sojourn there were more than six thousand in number, men and women together. Also, considerable territory belongs to the sanctuary, and the revenue is enjoyed by the priest. He is second in rank in Cappadocia after the king; and in general the priests belonged to the same family as the kings. It is thought that Orestes, with his sister Iphigeneia, brought these sacred rites here from the Tauric Scythia, the rites in honor of Artemis Tauropolus, and that here they also deposited the hair of mourning; whence the city's name. Now the Sarus River flows through this city and passes out through the gorges of the Taurus to the plains of the Cilicians and to the sea that lies below them." '
12.2.6. Neither the plain of the Cataonians nor the country Melitene has a city, but they have strongholds on the mountains, I mean Azamora and Dastarcum; and round the latter flows the Carmalas River. It contains also a sanctuary, that of the Cataonian Apollo, which is held in honor throughout the whole of Cappadocia, the Cappadocians having made it the model of sanctuaries of their own. Neither do the other prefectures, except two, contain cities; and of the remaining prefectures, Sargarausene contains a small town Herpa, and also the Carmalas River, this too emptying into the Cilician Sea. In the other prefectures are Argos, a lofty stronghold near the Taurus, and Nora, now called Neroassus, in which Eumenes held out against a siege for a long time. In my time it served as the treasury of Sisines, who made an attack upon the empire of the Cappadocians. To him belonged also Cadena, which had the royal palace and had the aspect of a city. Situated on the borders of Lycaonia is also a town called Garsauira. This too is said once to have been the metropolis of the country. In Morimene, at Venasa, is the sanctuary of the Venasian Zeus, which has a settlement of almost three thousand temple-servants and also a sacred territory that is very productive, affording the priest a yearly revenue of fifteen talents. He, too, is priest for life, as is the Priest at Comana, and is second in rank after him.'". None |

A commander in a civil war, even if he had done great things and very profitable to the commonwealth, was not permitted to have the title of imperator, neither were any supplications or thanksgivings decreed for him, nor was he permitted to triumph either in a chariot or in an ovation. For though such victories were necessary, yet they were full of calamity and sorrow, not obtained with foreign blood, but with the slaughter of their own countrymen. Mournful therefore were the victories of Nasica over Ti. Gracchus, and of Opimius over C. Gracchus. And therefore Catulus having vanquished his colleague Lepidus, with the rabble of all his followers, returned to the city, showing only a moderate joy. Gaius Antonius also, the conqueror of Catiline, brought back his army to their camp with their swords washed clean. Cinna and Marius greedily drank up civil blood, but did not then approach the altars and temples of the Gods. Sulla also, who made the greatest civil wars, and whose success was most cruel and inhumane, though he triumphed in the height of his power, yet as he carried many cities of Greece and Asia, so he showed not one town of Roman citizens.''.

1.8. Musa, mihi causas memora, quo numine laeso,
1.159. Est in secessu longo locus: insula portum
1.160. efficit obiectu laterum, quibus omnis ab alto
1.161. frangitur inque sinus scindit sese unda reductos.
1.162. Hinc atque hinc vastae rupes geminique mitur
1.163. in caelum scopuli, quorum sub vertice late
1.165. desuper horrentique atrum nemus imminet umbra.
1.166. Fronte sub adversa scopulis pendentibus antrum,
1.167. intus aquae dulces vivoque sedilia saxo,
1.168. nympharum domus: hic fessas non vincula navis
1.207. Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis.
1.263. bellum ingens geret Italia, populosque feroces
1.264. contundet, moresque viris et moenia ponet,
1.266. ternaque transierint Rutulis hiberna subactis.
1.267. At puer Ascanius, cui nunc cognomen Iulo
1.268. additur,—Ilus erat, dum res stetit Ilia regno,—
1.269. triginta magnos volvendis mensibus orbis
1.270. imperio explebit, regnumque ab sede Lavini
1.271. transferet, et longam multa vi muniet Albam.
1.272. Hic iam ter centum totos regnabitur annos
1.273. gente sub Hectorea, donec regina sacerdos,
1.274. Marte gravis, geminam partu dabit Ilia prolem.
1.275. Inde lupae fulvo nutricis tegmine laetus
1.276. Romulus excipiet gentem, et Mavortia condet
1.277. moenia, Romanosque suo de nomine dicet.
1.279. imperium sine fine dedi. Quin aspera Iuno,
1.280. quae mare nunc terrasque metu caelumque fatigat,
1.281. consilia in melius referet, mecumque fovebit
1.282. Romanos rerum dominos gentemque togatam:
1.283. sic placitum. Veniet lustris labentibus aetas,
1.284. cum domus Assaraci Phthiam clarasque Mycenas
1.285. servitio premet, ac victis dominabitur Argis.
1.286. Nascetur pulchra Troianus origine Caesar,
1.287. imperium oceano, famam qui terminet astris,—
1.288. Iulius, a magno demissum nomen Iulo.
1.289. Hunc tu olim caelo, spoliis Orientis onustum,
1.290. accipies secura; vocabitur hic quoque votis.
1.349. impius ante aras, atque auri caecus amore,
1.360. His commota fugam Dido sociosque parabat:
1.361. conveniunt, quibus aut odium crudele tyranni
1.362. aut metus acer erat; navis, quae forte paratae,
1.363. corripiunt, onerantque auro: portantur avari
1.364. Pygmalionis opes pelago; dux femina facti.
4.300. Saevit inops animi, totamque incensa per urbem
4.670. Karthago aut antiqua Tyros, flammaeque furentes
5.522. Hic oculis subito obicitur magnoque futurum
5.523. augurio monstrum; docuit post exitus ingens,
5.524. seraque terrifici cecinerunt omina vates.
5.525. Namque volans liquidis in nubibus arsit harundo,
5.526. signavitque viam flammis, tenuisque recessit
5.527. consumpta in ventos, caelo ceu saepe refixa
5.528. transcurrunt crinemque volantia sidera ducunt.
5.750. Transcribunt urbi matres, populumque volentem
5.755. Interea Aeneas urbem designat aratro
5.756. sortiturque domos; hoc Ilium et haec loca Troiam
5.757. esse iubet. Gaudet regno Troianus Acestes,
6.384. Ergo iter inceptum peragunt fluvioque propinquant.
6.386. per tacitum nemus ire pedemque advertere ripae,
6.387. sic prior adgreditur dictis, atque increpat ultro:
6.388. Quisquis es, armatus qui nostra ad flumina tendis,
6.389. fare age, quid venias, iam istinc, et comprime gressum.
6.390. Umbrarum hic locus est, somni noctisque soporae;
6.391. corpora viva nefas Stygia vectare carina.
6.392. Nec vero Alciden me sum laetatus euntem
6.393. accepisse lacu, nec Thesea Pirithoumque,
6.394. dis quamquam geniti atque invicti viribus essent.
6.395. Tartareum ille manu custodem in vincla petivit,
6.396. ipsius a solio regis, traxitque trementem;
6.397. hi dominam Ditis thalamo deducere adorti.
6.851. tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento;
6.852. hae tibi erunt artes; pacisque imponere morem,
6.853. parcere subiectis, et debellare superbos.
6.878. Heu pietas, heu prisca fides, invictaque bello
6.879. dextera! Non illi se quisquam impune tulisset
7.41. tu vatem, tu, diva, mone. Dicam horrida bella,
7.341. Exin Gorgoneis Allecto infecta venenis
7.342. principio Latium et Laurentis tecta tyranni
7.343. celsa petit tacitumque obsedit limen Amatae,
7.344. quam super adventu Teucrum Turnique hymenaeis
7.345. femineae ardentem curaeque iraeque coquebant.
7.346. Huic dea caeruleis unum de crinibus anguem
7.347. conicit inque sinum praecordia ad intuma subdit,
7.348. quo furibunda domum monstro permisceat omnem.
7.349. Ille inter vestes et levia pectora lapsus
7.350. volvitur attactu nullo fallitque furentem,
7.351. vipeream inspirans animam: fit tortile collo
7.352. aurum ingens coluber, fit longae taenia vittae
7.353. innectitque comas, et membris lubricus errat.
7.354. Ac dum prima lues udo sublapsa veneno
7.355. pertemptat sensus atque ossibus implicat ignem
7.356. necdum animus toto percepit pectore flammam,
7.357. mollius et solito matrum de more locuta est,
7.358. multa super nata lacrimans Phrygiisque hymenaeis:
7.359. Exsulibusne datur ducenda Lavinia Teucris,
7.360. O genitor, nec te miseret gnataeque tuique ?
7.361. Nec matris miseret, quam primo aquilone relinquet
7.362. perfidus alta petens abducta virgine praedo?
7.363. An non sic Phrygius penetrat Lacedaemona pastor
7.364. Ledaeamque Helenam Troianas vexit ad urbes ?
7.365. Quid tua sancta fides, quid cura antiqua tuorum
7.367. Si gener externa petitur de gente Latinis
7.368. idque sedet Faunique premunt te iussa parentis,
7.369. omnem equidem sceptris terram quae libera nostris
7.370. dissidet, externam reor et sic dicere divos.
7.371. Et Turno, si prima domus repetatur origo,
7.372. Inachus Acrisiusque patres mediaeque Mycenae.
7.373. His ubi nequiquam dictis experta Latinum
7.374. contra stare videt penitusque in viscera lapsum
7.375. serpentis furiale malum totamque pererrat,
7.376. tum vero infelix, ingentibus excita monstris,
7.377. immensam sine more furit lymphata per urbem.
7.378. Ceu quondam torto volitans sub verbere turbo,
7.379. quem pueri magno in gyro vacua atria circum
7.380. intenti ludo exercent; ille actus habena
7.381. curvatis fertur spatiis; stupet inscia supra
7.382. inpubesque manus, mirata volubile buxum;
7.383. dant animos plagae: non cursu segnior illo
7.384. per medias urbes agitur populosque feroces.
7.385. Quin etiam in silvas, simulato numine Bacchi,
7.386. maius adorta nefas maioremque orsa furorem
7.387. evolat et natam frondosis montibus abdit,
7.388. quo thalamum eripiat Teucris taedasque moretur,
7.389. Euhoe Bacche, fremens, solum te virgine dignum
7.390. vociferans, etenim mollis tibi sumere thyrsos,
7.391. te lustrare choro, sacrum tibi pascere crinem.
7.392. Fama volat, furiisque accensas pectore matres
7.393. idem omnis simul ardor agit nova quaerere tecta:
7.394. deseruere domos, ventis dant colla comasque,
7.395. ast aliae tremulis ululatibus aethera complent,
7.396. pampineasque gerunt incinctae pellibus hastas;
7.397. ipsa inter medias flagrantem fervida pinum
7.398. sustinet ac natae Turnique canit hymenaeos,
7.399. sanguineam torquens aciem, torvumque repente
7.400. clamat: Io matres, audite, ubi quaeque, Latinae:' '
7.404. Talem inter silvas, inter deserta ferarum,
7.405. reginam Allecto stimulis agit undique Bacchi.
7.406. Postquam visa satis primos acuisse furores
7.407. consiliumque omnemque domum vertisse Latini,
8.113. ignotas temptare vias, quo tenditis? inquit.
8.219. Hic vero Alcidae furiis exarserat atro
8.220. felle dolor: rapit arma manu nodisque gravatum
8.221. robur et aerii cursu petit ardua montis.
8.222. Tum primum nostri Cacum videre timentem
8.223. turbatumque oculis: fugit ilicet ocior Euro
8.224. speluncamque petit, pedibus timor addidit alas.
8.225. Ut sese inclusit ruptisque immane catenis
8.226. deiecit saxum, ferro quod et arte paterna
8.227. pendebat, fultosque emuniit obice postis,
8.228. ecce furens animis aderat Tirynthius omnemque
8.229. accessum lustrans huc ora ferebat et illuc,
8.230. dentibus infrendens. Ter totum fervidus ira
8.231. lustrat Aventini montem, ter saxea temptat
8.232. limina nequiquam, ter fessus valle resedit.
8.233. Stabat acuta silex, praecisis undique saxis
8.234. speluncae dorso insurgens, altissima visu,
8.235. dirarum nidis domus opportuna volucrum.
8.236. Hanc, ut prona iugo laevum incumbebat in amnem,
8.237. dexter in adversum nitens concussit et imis
8.239. inpulit, inpulsu quo maximus intonat aether
8.240. dissultant ripae refluitque exterritus amnis.
8.241. At specus et Caci detecta apparuit ingens
8.242. regia, et umbrosae penitus patuere cavernae:
8.243. non secus ac siqua penitus vi terra dehiscens
8.244. infernas reseret sedes et regna recludat
8.245. pallida, dis invisa, superque immane barathrum
8.246. cernatur, trepident inmisso lumine manes.
8.247. Ergo insperata deprensum luce repente
8.248. inclusumque cavo saxo atque insueta rudentem
8.250. advocat et ramis vastisque molaribus instat.
8.251. Ille autem, neque enim fuga iam super ulla pericli,
8.252. faucibus ingentem fumum (mirabile dictu)
8.253. evomit involvitque domum caligine caeca,
8.254. prospectum eripiens oculis, glomeratque sub antro
8.255. fumiferam noctem commixtis igne tenebris.
8.256. Non tulit Alcides animis seque ipse per ignem
8.257. praecipiti iecit saltu, qua plurimus undam
8.258. fumus agit nebulaque ingens specus aestuat atra.
8.259. Hic Cacum in tenebris incendia vana vomentem
8.260. corripit in nodum complexus et angit inhaerens
8.261. elisos oculos et siccum sanguine guttur.
8.262. Panditur extemplo foribus domus atra revolsis,
8.263. abstractaeque boves abiurataeque rapinae
8.264. caelo ostenduntur, pedibusque informe cadaver
8.265. protrahitur. Nequeunt expleri corda tuendo
8.266. terribilis oculos, voltum villosaque saetis
8.267. pectora semiferi atque extinctos faucibus ignis.
8.319. Primus ab aetherio venit Saturnus Olympo,
8.320. arma Iovis fugiens et regnis exsul ademptis.
8.321. Is genus indocile ac dispersum montibus altis
8.322. composuit legesque dedit Latiumque vocari
8.323. maluit, his quoniam latuisset tutis in oris.
8.324. Aurea quae perhibent illo sub rege fuere
8.325. saecula. Sic placida populos in pace regebat,
8.326. deterior donec paulatim ac decolor aetas
8.327. et belli rabies et amor successit habendi.
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.
9.598. Non pudet obsidione iterum valloque teneri,
9.599. bis capti Phryges, et morti praetendere muros?
9.600. En qui nostra sibi bello conubia poscunt!
9.601. Quis deus Italiam, quae vos dementia adegit
9.602. Non hic Atridae nec fandi fictor Ulixes:
9.603. durum a stirpe genus natos ad flumina primum
9.604. deferimus saevoque gelu duramus et undis,
9.605. venatu invigilant pueri silvasque fatigant,
9.606. flectere ludus equos et spicula tendere cornu.
9.607. At patiens operum parvoque adsueta iuventus
9.608. aut rastris terram domat aut quatit oppida bello.
9.609. Omne aevum ferro teritur, versaque iuvencum
9.610. terga fatigamus hasta; nec tarda senectus
9.611. debilitat vires animi mutatque vigorem:
9.612. canitiem galea premimus, semperque recentis
9.613. comportare iuvat praedas et vivere rapto.
9.615. desidiae cordi, iuvat indulgere choreis,
9.616. et tunicae manicas et habent redimicula mitrae.
9.617. O vere Phrygiae, neque enim Phryges, ite per alta
9.618. Dindyma ubi adsuetis biforem dat tibia cantum!
9.619. Tympana vos buxusque vocat Berecyntia Matris
9.620. Idaeae sinite arma viris et cedite ferro.'
10.758. Di Iovis in tectis iram miserantur iem
10.759. amborum et tantos mortalibus esse labores:
11.232. Fatalem Aenean manifesto numine ferri
11.233. admonet ira deum tumulique ante ora recentes.
11.477. Nec non ad templum summasque ad Palladis arces
11.478. subvehitur magna matrum regina caterva
11.479. dona ferens, iuxtaque comes Lavinia virgo,
11.480. causa mali tanti, oculos deiecta decoros.
11.481. Succedunt matres et templum ture vaporant
12.435. Disce, puer, virtutem ex me verumque laborem,
12.436. fortunam ex aliis. Nunc te mea dextera bello '. None | 1.8. the city, and bring o'er his fathers' gods " "
1.159. weapons of war, spars, planks, and treasures rare, ' "
1.160. once Ilium 's boast, all mingled with the storm. " "
1.161. Now o'er Achates and Ilioneus, " "
1.162. now o'er the ship of Abas or Aletes, " '
1.163. bursts the tempestuous shock; their loosened seams
1.165. Meanwhile how all his smitten ocean moaned, ' "
1.166. and how the tempest's turbulent assault " '
1.167. had vexed the stillness of his deepest cave,
1.168. great Neptune knew; and with indigt mien ' "
1.207. with clear and soothing speech the people's will. " '
1.263. had stored in jars, and prince-like sent away
1.264. with his Ioved guest;—this too Aeneas gave;
1.266. “Companions mine, we have not failed to feel
1.267. calamity till now. O, ye have borne
1.268. far heavier sorrow: Jove will make an end
1.269. also of this. Ye sailed a course hard by ' "
1.270. infuriate Scylla's howling cliffs and caves. " "
1.271. Ye knew the Cyclops' crags. Lift up your hearts! " '
1.272. No more complaint and fear! It well may be
1.273. ome happier hour will find this memory fair.
1.274. Through chance and change and hazard without end,
1.275. our goal is Latium ; where our destinies
1.276. beckon to blest abodes, and have ordained
1.277. that Troy shall rise new-born! Have patience all!
1.279. Such was his word, but vexed with grief and care,
1.280. feigned hopes upon his forehead firm he wore, ' "
1.281. and locked within his heart a hero's pain. " '
1.282. Now round the welcome trophies of his chase
1.283. they gather for a feast. Some flay the ribs
1.284. and bare the flesh below; some slice with knives,
1.285. and on keen prongs the quivering strips impale,
1.286. place cauldrons on the shore, and fan the fires.
1.287. Then, stretched at ease on couch of simple green,
1.288. they rally their lost powers, and feast them well
1.289. on seasoned wine and succulent haunch of game.
1.290. But hunger banished and the banquet done,
1.349. “Let Cytherea cast her fears away!
1.360. and, quell its nations wild; his city-wall
1.361. and sacred laws shall be a mighty bond
1.362. about his gathered people. Summers three
1.363. hall Latium call him king; and three times pass ' "
1.364. the winter o'er Rutulia's vanquished hills. " "
4.300. hoot forth blind fire to terrify the soul
4.670. lifts on his shoulder the wide wheel of heaven,
5.522. O, if I had what yonder ruffian boasts—
5.523. my own proud youth once more! I would not ask
5.524. the fair bull for a prize, nor to the lists
5.525. in search of gifts come forth.” So saying, he threw
5.526. into the mid-arena a vast pair
5.527. of ponderous gauntlets, which in former days
5.528. fierce Eryx for his fights was wont to bind
5.750. wheel at a word and thrust their lances forth
5.755. they flee with backs defenceless to the foe;
5.756. then rally, lance in rest—or, mingling all,
5.757. make common front, one legion strong and fair.
6.384. These were but shapes and shadows sweeping by,
6.386. Hence the way leads to that Tartarean stream
6.387. of Acheron, whose torrent fierce and foul
6.388. Disgorges in Cocytus all its sands.
6.389. A ferryman of gruesome guise keeps ward
6.390. Upon these waters,—Charon, foully garbed,
6.391. With unkempt, thick gray beard upon his chin,
6.392. And staring eyes of flame; a mantle coarse,
6.393. All stained and knotted, from his shoulder falls,
6.394. As with a pole he guides his craft, tends sail, ' "
6.395. And in the black boat ferries o'er his dead;— " "
6.396. Old, but a god's old age looks fresh and strong. " '
6.397. To those dim shores the multitude streams on—
6.851. Eridanus, through forests rolling free.
6.852. Here dwell the brave who for their native land
6.853. Fell wounded on the field; here holy priests
6.878. Father Anchises in a pleasant vale
6.879. Stood pondering, while his eyes and thought surveyed ' "
7.41. hore-haunting birds of varied voice and plume
7.341. to clasp your monarch's hand. Bear back, I pray, " '
7.342. this answer to your King: my dwelling holds
7.343. a daughter, whom with husband of her blood ' "
7.344. great signs in heaven and from my father's tomb " '
7.345. forbid to wed. A son from alien shores ' "
7.346. they prophesy for Latium 's heir, whose seed " '
7.347. hall lift our glory to the stars divine.
7.348. I am persuaded this is none but he,
7.349. that man of destiny; and if my heart
7.350. be no false prophet, I desire it so.”
7.351. Thus having said, the sire took chosen steeds
7.352. from his full herd, whereof, well-groomed and fair,
7.353. three hundred stood within his ample pale.
7.354. of these to every Teucrian guest he gave
7.355. a courser swift and strong, in purple clad
7.356. and broidered housings gay; on every breast
7.357. hung chains of gold; in golden robes arrayed,
7.358. they champed the red gold curb their teeth between.
7.359. For offering to Aeneas, he bade send
7.360. a chariot, with chargers twain of seed
7.361. ethereal, their nostrils breathing fire:
7.362. the famous kind which guileful Circe bred, ' "
7.363. cheating her sire, and mixed the sun-god's team " '
7.364. with brood-mares earthly born. The sons of Troy,
7.365. uch gifts and greetings from Latinus bearing,
7.367. But lo! from Argos on her voyage of air
7.368. rides the dread spouse of Jove. She, sky-enthroned
7.369. above the far Sicilian promontory, ' "
7.370. pachynus, sees Dardania's rescued fleet, " "
7.371. and all Aeneas' joy. The prospect shows " '
7.372. houses a-building, lands of safe abode,
7.373. and the abandoned ships. With bitter grief
7.374. he stands at gaze: then with storm-shaken brows,
7.375. thus from her heart lets loose the wrathful word:
7.376. “O hated race! O Phrygian destinies —
7.377. to mine forevermore (unhappy me!)
7.378. a scandal and offense! Did no one die ' "
7.379. on Troy 's embattled plain? Could captured slaves " "
7.380. not be enslaved again? Was Ilium's flame " "
7.381. no warrior's funeral pyre? Did they walk safe " '
7.382. through serried swords and congregated fires?
7.383. At last, methought, my godhead might repose,
7.384. and my full-fed revenge in slumber lie.
7.385. But nay! Though flung forth from their native land, ' "
7.386. I o'er the waves, with enmity unstayed, " '
7.387. dared give them chase, and on that exiled few
7.388. hurled the whole sea. I smote the sons of Troy ' "
7.389. with ocean's power and heaven's. But what availed " "
7.390. Syrtes, or Scylla, or Charybdis' waves? " '
7.391. The Trojans are in Tiber ; and abide
7.392. within their prayed-for land delectable,
7.393. afe from the seas and me! Mars once had power
7.394. the monstrous Lapithae to slay; and Jove ' "
7.395. to Dian's honor and revenge gave o'er " '
7.396. the land of Calydon. What crime so foul
7.397. was wrought by Lapithae or Calydon? ' "
7.398. But I, Jove's wife and Queen, who in my woes " '
7.399. have ventured each bold stroke my power could find,
7.400. and every shift essayed,—behold me now
7.401. outdone by this Aeneas! If so weak
7.402. my own prerogative of godhead be,
7.403. let me seek strength in war, come whence it will!
7.404. If Heaven I may not move, on Hell I call.
7.405. To bar him from his Latin throne exceeds
7.406. my fated power. So be it! Fate has given
7.407. Lavinia for his bride. But long delays
8.113. white gleaming through the grove, with all her brood
8.219. and with a wide-eyed wonder I did view ' "
8.220. those Teucrian lords, Laomedon's great heir, " '
8.221. and, towering highest in their goodly throng,
8.222. Anchises, whom my warm young heart desired
8.223. to speak with and to clasp his hand in mine.
8.224. So I approached, and joyful led him home ' "
8.225. to Pheneus' olden wall. He gave me gifts " '
8.226. the day he bade adieu; a quiver rare
8.227. filled with good Lycian arrows, a rich cloak
8.228. inwove with thread of gold, and bridle reins
8.229. all golden, now to youthful Pallas given.
8.230. Therefore thy plea is granted, and my hand
8.231. here clasps in loyal amity with thine.
8.232. To-morrow at the sunrise thou shalt have
8.233. my tribute for the war, and go thy way
8.234. my glad ally. But now this festival, ' "
8.235. whose solemn rite 't were impious to delay, " '
8.236. I pray thee celebrate, and bring with thee
8.237. well-omened looks and words. Allies we are!
8.239. So saying, he bade his followers renew ' "
8.240. th' abandoned feast and wine; and placed each guest " '
8.241. on turf-built couch of green, most honoring
8.242. Aeneas by a throne of maple fair ' "
8.243. decked with a lion's pelt and flowing mane. " "
8.244. Then high-born pages, with the altar's priest, " '
8.245. bring on the roasted beeves and load the board
8.246. with baskets of fine bread; and wine they bring —
8.247. of Ceres and of Bacchus gift and toil.
8.248. While good Aeneas and his Trojans share
8.250. When hunger and its eager edge were gone,
8.251. Evander spoke: “This votive holiday,
8.252. yon tables spread and altar so divine,
8.253. are not some superstition dark and vain,
8.254. that knows not the old gods, O Trojan King!
8.255. But as men saved from danger and great fear
8.256. this thankful sacrifice we pay. Behold,
8.257. yon huge rock, beetling from the mountain wall,
8.258. hung from the cliff above. How lone and bare
8.259. the hollowed mountain looks! How crag on crag
8.260. tumbled and tossed in huge confusion lie!
8.261. A cavern once it was, which ran deep down ' "
8.262. into the darkness. There th' half-human shape " '
8.263. of Cacus made its hideous den, concealed
8.264. from sunlight and the day. The ground was wet
8.265. at all times with fresh gore; the portal grim
8.266. was hung about with heads of slaughtered men,
8.267. bloody and pale—a fearsome sight to see. ' "
8.319. filled all the arching sky, the river's banks " '
8.320. asunder leaped, and Tiber in alarm ' "
8.321. reversed his flowing wave. So Cacus' lair " '
8.322. lay shelterless, and naked to the day
8.323. the gloomy caverns of his vast abode
8.324. tood open, deeply yawning, just as if
8.325. the riven earth should crack, and open wide ' "
8.326. th' infernal world and fearful kingdoms pale, " '
8.327. which gods abhor; and to the realms on high
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 " '
9.598. the bosom white as snow. Euryalus
9.599. ank prone in death; upon his goodly limbs
9.600. the life-blood ran unstopped, and low inclined
9.601. the drooping head; as when some purpled flower,
9.602. cut by the ploughshare, dies, or poppies proud
9.603. with stem forlorn their ruined beauty bow
9.604. before the pelting storm. Then Nisus flew
9.605. traight at his foes; but in their throng would find
9.606. Volscens alone, for none but Volscens stayed:
9.607. they gathered thickly round and grappled him
9.608. in shock of steel with steel. But on he plunged,
9.609. winging in ceaseless circles round his head
9.610. his lightning-sword, and thrust it through the face
9.611. of shrieking Volscens, with his own last breath
9.612. triking his foeman down; then cast himself ' "
9.613. upon his fallen comrade's breast; and there, " '
9.615. Heroic pair and blest! If aught I sing
9.616. have lasting music, no remotest age ' "
9.617. hall blot your names from honor's storied scroll: " "
9.618. not while the altars of Aeneas' line " "
9.619. hall crown the Capitol's unshaken hill, " "
9.620. nor while the Roman Father's hand sustains "
10.758. though all in Turnus' van; and Numa bold " '
10.759. and Camers tawny-tressed, the son and heir
11.232. ince I but linger out a life I loathe,
11.233. without my Pallas, nothing but thy sword ' "
11.477. fling thy poor countrymen in danger's way, " "
11.478. O chief and fountain of all Latium 's pain? " '
11.479. War will not save us. Not a voice but sues
11.480. for peace, O Turnus! and, not less than peace,
11.481. its one inviolable pledge. Behold,
12.435. this frantic stir, this quarrel rashly bold?
12.436. Recall your martial rage! The pledge is given '. None |
