dative that you meet in your reading. 25. ne ... quidem, 'not ... even.' The word emphasized must stand between _ne_ and _quidem_. ad laborem. See the note on _ad quietem_, 14, 1. 26. Ad multitudinem transportandam, used like _ad laborem_. The gerundive in this use is very common. 27. quibus. The antecedent _eae_ is not expressed. Notice that _utor_ governs the same case as _vescor_ and _potior_. Two other deponent verbs, not found in this book, take this construction, namely _fruor_, 'enjoy,' and _fungor_, 'perform.' nostro mari, _i.e_. the Mediterranean. consuevimus. See the note on _consueverat_, 10, 9. 35. 8. citharoedum. It was said that Orpheus made such sweet music on his golden harp that wild beasts, trees, and rocks followed him as he moved. By his playing he even prevailed upon Pluto to give back his dead wife Eurydice. Theseum, a mythical hero, whose exploits resemble and rival those of Hercules. The most famous of them was the killing of the Minotaur. Theseus was the national hero of Athens. Castorem, the famous tamer of horses and brother of Pollux, the boxer. |
