Hereupon Juno and Pallas leap sheer down from the sky upon the rocks; this one the daughter of Jove, that one his spouse constrains.

— Valerius Flaccus

Hic Iuno praecepsque ex aethere Pallas
insiliunt pariter scopulos: hunc nata coercet,
hunc coniunx Iovis.

More quotes by Valerius Flaccus

The whole landscape flashes while the hero now wraps about his body the fleece with its starry tufts of hair, now shifts it to his neck, now folds it upon his left arm.

And giving men power to steer their path across the sea with heaven as their guide.

No love have they for the slain king; swiftly they hie them to the mountains and the forests.

At the same time welcome Night brings on the star-heralding shadows.

For oft have the common people kindlier feelings.
