Additional quotes by Gaius Valerius Flaccus

At Iuno et summi virgo Iovis intima secum
consilia et varias sociabant pectore curas.

They ravage and sweep away my banquet, and befoul and upset the cups, there is a violent stench and a sorry battle arises, for the monsters are as famished as I.

Unda laborantes praeceps rotat.
