A term of Ovid, stories from the Metamorphoses for study and sight reading . crines: the foliage of the hunc fertilitatis honorem: is this the reward for (objective gen.) my fertileness? Mark the emphatic position of hunc. 598. exerceor: with the double meaning of worked and worried or vexed. 599. alimenta mitia: as compared with frondes, the food of the lower animals. 600. vobis: Jupiter and the other gods, as com- pared with humano frater: Neptunus. ill! tradita: when Saturnus allotted to him therule of the sea, the heavens to Jupiter, andthe infernal regions to Pluto. 604. mea: equivalent to an objective gen. like fra- tris, = in me, in fratrem. 605. caelitui: gen. with Atlas ipse: who supported the heavens on his shoulders. This is really an anachronism, as Atlas had not yet been transformed into a mountain. See Selection X, and read the story in some book of mythology. 610. in chaos antiquum: as existing before the creation. 611. rerum summae: the general welfare, the whole ipsum: Atlas (Naples Museum) P. 48] NOTES 131 617. summam arcem: the very highest part of heaven, as in Aeneid, I, 225 :Sic vertice caeli : posset: a relative clause of purpose. 622. ab aure: drawing back the bolt in order to hurl it with his fullstrength. 624. expulit: a double use quite common in Latin authors: he deprived him of life and hurled him from the chariot.
