Pharsalia 9.619-99 (65 AD) Lucan provides a witty expansive description of the killing of Medusa, and the snakes of Libya. Cur Libycus tantis exundet pestibus aer Fertilis in mortes, aut quid secreta nocenti Miscuerit natura solo, non cura laborque Noster scire valet: nisi quod vulgata per orbem Fabula pro vera decepit saecula caussa. Finibus extremis Libyes, ubi fervida tellus Accipit Oceanum demisso sole calentem, Squalebant late Phorcynidos arva Medusae, Non nemorum protecta coma, non mollia sulco, Sed dominas vultu conspectis aspera saxis, Hoc primum natura nocens in corpore saevas Eduxit pestes: illis e faucibus angues Stridula fuderunt vibratis sibila linguis, Femineae qui more comae per terga soluti, Ipsa flagellabant gaudentis colla Medusae. Surgunt adverse subrectae fronte colubrae, Vipereumque fluit depexo crine venenum. Hoc habet infelix, cunctis impune, Medusa, Quod spectare licet Nam rictus oraque monstri Quis timuit? quem, qui recto se lumine vidit, Passa Medusa mori est. Rapuit dubitantia fata, Praevenitque metus: anima periere retenta Membra, nec emissae riguere sub ossibus umbrae. Eumenidum crines solos movere furores: Cerberus Orpheo lenivit sibila cantu: Amphitryoniades vidit, cum vinceret, Hydram; Hoc monstrum timuit genitor, numenque secundum Phorcus aquis, Cetoque parens, ipsaeque sorores Gorgones: hoc potuit coelo pelagoque minari Torporem insolitum, mundoque abducere terram. E coelo volucres subito cum pondere lapsae: In scopulis haesere ferae: vicina colentes Aethiopum totae riguerunt marmore gentes. Nullum animal visus patiens, ipsique retrorsum Effusi faciem vitabant Gorgonis angues. Illa sub Hesperiis stantem Titana columnis […]
