Ovid Book Fifteen

Myscelus
“Be up, you are to seek the distant Aesar, gravel-laden stream.’ To this he added many fearful threats”

Pythagoras
“He was the first to speak against the use of animals as human food, a practice he denounced with learned but unheeded lips.”



Numa
“he ruled the Latin state. There with the nymph Egeria, the wife he’d wedded happily,”

Egeria & Hippolytus
“But others’ anguish did not help assuage the sorrow of Egeria. She lay prostrate, along a mountian’s base and wept,”

Cipus
“For I would rather end my days in exile than be crowned king upon the Capitol.”
