Pasiphae , Solis filia , uxor Minois , sacra deae Veneris per aliquot annos non fecerat . Ob id , Venus amorem infandum illi obiecit , ut taurum amaret . In hoc Daedalus exsul cum venisset , petiit ab eo auxilium . Is ei vaccam ligneam fecit et verae vaccae corium induxit , in qua illa cum tauro concubuit ; ex quo compressu Minotaurum peperit capite bubulo parte inferiore humana . Tunc Daedalus Minotauro labyrinthum inextricabili exitu fecit , in quo est conclusus .

Inde ad Cyclopem Polyphemum Neptuni filium . Huic responsum erat ab augure Telemo Eurymi filio , ut caveret , ne ab Ulixe excaecaretur . Hic media fronte unum oculum habebat et carnem humanam epulabatur . Qui postquam pecus in speluncam redegerat , molem saxeam ingentem ad ianuam opponebat . Qui Ulixem cum sociis inclusit sociosque eius consumere coepit . Ulixes cum videret eius immanitati atque feritati resistere se non posse , vino , quod a Marone acceperat , eum inebriavit seque " Utin " vocari dixit . Itaque cum oculum eius trunco ardenti exureret , ille clamore suo ceteros Cyclopas convocavit eisque spelunca praeclusa dixit : " Utis me excaecat . " Illi credentes eum deridendi gratia dicere neglexerunt . At Ulixes socios suos ad pecora alligavit et ipse se ad arietem et ita exierunt .

Haec ut audivi , operire oculos amplius non potui , sed luce clara Gai nostri domum fugi tanquam copo compilatus ; et postquam veni in illum locum , in quo lapidea vestimenta erant facta , nihil inveni nisi sanguinem . Ut vero domum veni , iacebat miles meus in lecto tanquam bovis , et collum illius medicus curabat . Intellexi illum versipellem esse , nec postea cum illo panem gustare potui , non si me occidisses . Viderint quid de hoc alii exopinissent ; ego si mentior , genios vestros iratos habeam . "

He said " My father , Hamilcar , with me being a young boy , not having been born older than 9 years , setting out as the commander into Spain from Carthage , sacrificed offerings to Jupiter the Best and Greatest . While this divine thing was being done , he asked me if I wanted to proceed into the military camps with him . When I had accepted this gladly and began to ask from him that he not doubt to lead me , then he said " I will do it , if you give the oath , which I ask , to me . " At the same time , he led me to the altar , on which he had set up the sacrifice , and ordered me holding it , with all the others having been removed , to swear that I would never be in friendship with Rome . I preserved the sworn oath having been given to my father up until this age .

Hac pugna pugnata Romam profectus est nullo resistente . In propinquis urbi montibus moratus est . Cum aliquot ibi dies castra habuisset et Capuam reverteretur , Q . Fabius Maximus , dictator Romanus , in agro Falerno ei se obiecit . Hic clausus locorum angustiis noctu sine ullo detrimento exercitus se expedivit ; Fabioque , callidissimo imperatori , dedit verba . Namque obducta nocte sarmenta in cornibus iuvencorum deligata incendit et multitudinem magnam dispalatam immisit . Quo repentino obiecto visu tantum terrorem iniecit exercitui Romanorum , ut egredi extra vallum nemo sit ausus . Hanc post rem gestam non ita multis diebus M . Minucium Rufum , magistrum equitum pari dictatorem imperio , dolo productum in proelium fugavit . M . Claudium Marcellum , V consulem , apud Venusiam pari modo interfecit . Longum est omnia enumerare proelia . Quare hoc unum satis erit dictum , ex quo intellegi possit , quantus ille fuerit : quamdiu in Italia fuit , nemo ei in acie restitit , nemo adversus eum post Cannensem pugnam in campo castra posuit .
