Note 5 — BOOK II.

Rowland Smith translation

Oἶoν ἄρχει βρέφος ὀυρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, καὶ θαλάττης. Achilles Tatius.

"At his sight the sun hath turned; Neptune on the waters burned; Hell hath felt a greater heat; Jove himself forsook his seat; From the centre to the sky Are his trophies reared high." Ben Jonson, Hue and Cry after Cupid.

See also the fine chorus in the Antigone, 781-790.
