Additional quotes by Silius Italicus

Quantis armati caelum petiere Gigantes
anguibus, aut quantus Lernae lassavit in undis
Amphitryoniaden serpens, qualisque comantis
auro servauit ramos Junonius anguis.

Nec tam fugisse cauendo
aduersa egregium, quam perdomuisse ferendo.

[Virtutis] dispar habitus: frons hirta nec umquam
composita mutata coma, stans vultus, et ore
incessuque viro propior laetique pudoris
celsa umeros niveae fulgebat stamine pallae.

Explorant adversa viros, perque aspera duro nititur ad laudem virtus interrita clivo. - Silius Italicus
