Ovid Book Six

Arachne
"why not accept my challenge?' Pallas answered: 'She Has Come!"

Niobe
"Yet Niobe refused to learn just what her countrywoman's fate might well have taught: do not compete with the gods, and do not boast."


Marsayas
"Why do you tear me from myself? Oh, I repent! A flute is not worth such a price."

Tereus, Procne, Philomela
"Preciesly when he weves his plot, he seems a man most dutiful; he wins much praise for what is wickedness."

Boreas & Orithyia
"I pleaded with Erectheus--hoped he'd be my father-in-law--but I should, with deeds, have made him such."
