Ovid Book Five

Perseus & Phineus
"What was a feast is now a bitter brawl: one might well liken it to tranquil seas that swell when winds--beserk--whip suddenly."

Minerva, the Muses, Pegasus
"She said the daughters of Mnemosyne, in what they did and where they lived , were blessed."

Arethusa & Alpheus
"Alpheus from his waters, called to me. 'where do you flee so quickly?'"

Triptolemus & Lyncus
"Once at Athena's town, on touching the ground, she gives her chariot as well as seeds of grain to young Triptolemus, and these she'd have him scatter wide in many lands."

The Pierides--Again
"You challendged us: for that alone you merit punishment. But now you dare to add abuse."
