Ovid Book Twelve

Iphigenia
"kingship overcomes a father's love; Iphigenia stands before the alter, among the attendants all in tears."

Rumor
"the false reports--in thousands--babble,wandering about"

Achilles & Cycnus
"the Trojan was not wounded yet, although he took no steps to shield his flesh"

Caenis/Caenus
"a thing that will prevent my ever suffering such injury again. If you but grant that i'll not be a woman anymore,"



Cyllarus
"she cast herself upon the very shaft that had pierced him; and as she died, she clasped her husband in close embrace."
