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 .

Interim Thebis sterilitas frugum et penuria incidit ob Oedipodis scelera , interrogatusque Tiresias , quid ita Thebae vexarentur , respondit , si quis ex draconteo genere superesset et pro patria interiisset , pestilentia liberaturum . Tum Menoeceus Iocastae pater se de muris praecipitavit . Dum haec Thebis geruntur , Corintho Polybus decedit , quo audito Oedipus moleste ferre coepit aestimans patrem suum obisse ; cui Periboea de eius suppositione palam fecit ; item Menoetes senex , qui eum exposuerat , ex pedum cicatricibus et talorum agnovit Lai filium esse . Oedipus re audita postquam vidit se tot scelera nefaria fecisse , ex veste matris fibulas detraxit et se luminibus privavit , regnumque filiis suis alternis annis tradidit et a Thebis Antigona filia duce profugit .

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 . "

With this fight having been fought , he set out for Rome with no one resisting . He has been delayed in the mountains close to the city . When he had held camp there for so many days and had turned back to Capua , Quintus Fabius Maximus , the Roman dictator , threw himself against him in the Falerian field . He , having been closed off by the narrowness of the terrain , freed himself at night without any harm of his army , and he tricked Fabius , the cleverest commander . For , with night having been led in , he lit on fire the sticks , having been tied on the horns of cattle , and sent down a great multitude of each kind having wandered around . With this sudden sight having been thrown in , he threw in such great terror to the army of the Romans with the result that no one dared to go outside of the intrenchment . After this thing having been done , in not so many days , he routed Marcus Minucius Rufus , the Master of the Horse with equal power to the dictator , having been led into a battle by a trick . He , being absent in Lucania , destroyed Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus , consul a second time , having been led into traps . He killed Marcus Claudius Marcellus , consul for the fifth time , at Venusia in a similar way . It would take a long time to count all his battles . For this reason , this alone will be enough to be said , from which it is able to be known how great he was : as long as he was in Italy , no one resisted him in the battle lines , no one set up camps in the battlefield against him after the Battle of Cannae .

After a year , Caesar , having returned to Rome , made himself consul a fourth time and immediately has set out to Spain , where the sons of Pompey , Gnaeus Pompey and Sextus Pompey , had prepared a huge war . There were many battles , the last at the city of Munda , in which Caesar nearly has been conquered so much that , with his men fleeing , he wanted to kill himself , so that , having been born 56 years , after such great glory of military affairs , would not come into the power of youths . From there , with his men having been renewed , he conquered . Out of the sons of Pompey , the older has been killed , the younger fled .
