— Euripides“A goddess not inglorious in the skies Is Venus... O sovereign, sea-born Venus... Never with wild ungovern'd sway Rush on my heart, and force it to obey: For not the light'ning's fire, Nor stars swift-darting through the sky, Equal the shafts sent by this son of Jove, When his hand gives them force to fly, Kindling the flames of love.”
