P. Vergilius Maro, Aeneid 1.50-63

 

Tier 2

dea Iūnō putāvit dē hīs sēcum in pectore. illa habet flammātum cor atque venit in insulam Aeoliam. Aeolia erat patria nimbōrum. hīc rēx Aeolus, in magnā caveā, premit ventōs et tempestātēs. ille retinet illōs vinculīs.

 

ventī et tempestātēs fremunt cum magnō murmure circum claustra montis. Aeolus sedet in arce, tenēns scēptra, et mollit animōs et temperat īrās. nī faciat, quippe illī ventī ferant maria et terrās et caelum et verrant per aurās.

 

sed pater omnipotēns, Iuppiter, erat territus. abdidit illōs in ātrīs spēluncīs. ille imposuit montēs altōs super spēluncās. tunc Iuppiter dedit regnum Aeolō quod Aeolus scīvit quōmodo administrāret ventōs.
