With my comrades and son and the Penates, [and the?] great gods Explanation: This is Aeneid 3.12. Nato refers to Ascanius. The line before says "I leave the harbors and plains of Troy, borne an exile onto the sea...". Readers since Servius have disputed whether the Penates themselves are great gods, or the great gods are the Olympians. The rest of your quote is Horace, Ars Poetica 139 which does refer to Aesop's fable of The Mountain in Labor. |

Lorem ipsum (see explanation) Explanation: As Stephen explained, your quote mixes two different texts and that's because it's lorem ipsum (made-up Latin used as a place holder in typography and graphics) so it isn't supposed to make sense. See link below. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day19 hrs (2014-12-19 09:37:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @asker lorem ipsum is "dolorem ipsum" (= pain itself) cut short, from Cicero's De Finibus bonorum et malorum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum Reference: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum |
