Additional quotes by Gaius Valerius Flaccus

Phoebeius Idmon, ... cui genitor tribuit monitu praenoscere divum
omina, seu flammas seu lubrica comminus exta
seu plenum certis interroget aera pinnis.

Spumanti qualis in alto
Pliade capta ratis, trepidi quam sola magistri
cura tenet, rapidum ventis certantibus aequor
intemerata secat, Pollux sic providus ictus
servat.

Et, qua sibi fida magis vis
nulla, Prometheae florem de sanguine fibrae
promit nutritaque gramina monti,
quae sacer ille nives inter tristesque pruinas
durat alitque cruor.
