P. Vergilius Maro, Aeneid 1.124-141

 

Tier 2

intereā Neptūnus sēnsit esse magnam tempestātem in marī. erat iratissimus. Neptūnus spectat mare, tollit placidum caput ex undā. videt classem Aenēae, quae disiecta est in tōtō marī. quoque videt nāvēs quae oppressae sunt flūctibus.

 

Neptūnus intellexit quid accideret -- erat ob dolum et īram Iūnōnis sorōris. vocat Eurum Zephyrumque ad sē et dīxit haec verba: “nōnne scitis tuum locum? vōs nōn habētis meum mandatum ūtī tempestātibus. necesse est mihi placāre flūctūs.

 

“mox dabitis poenās mihi. fugite et dīcite haec verba vestrō rēgī: Aeolus nōn habet imperium pelāgī tridentemque. datum est mihi. ille tenet immānia saxa, vestrās domōs. Aeolus debet sē iacere in illā aulā et regere in clausō carcere ventōrum.”
