Scylla is transformed from beautiful nereid to monster by Circe’s drugs.<\/em><\/p>\n

inde manu magna Tyrrhena per aequora vectus
\nherbiferos adiit colles atque atria Glaucus
\nSole satae Circes, variarum plena ferarum.
\nquam simul adspexit, dicta acceptaque salute,
\n‘diva, dei miserere, precor! nam sola levare
\ntu potes hunc,’ dixit ‘videar modo dignus, amorem.
\nquanta sit herbarum, Titani, potentia, nulli
\nquam mihi cognitius, qui sum mutatus ab illis.
\nneve mei non nota tibi sit causa furoris:
\nlitore in Italico, Messenia moenia contra,
\nScylla mihi visa est. pudor est promissa precesque
\nblanditiasque meas contemptaque verba referre;
\nat tu, sive aliquid regni est in carmine, carmen
\nore move sacro, sive expugnacior herba est,
\nutere temptatis operosae viribus herbae
\nnec medeare mihi sanesque haec vulnera mando,
\nfine nihil opus est: partem ferat illa caloris.’
\nat Circe (neque enim flammis habet aptius ulla
\ntalibus ingenium, seu causa est huius in ipsa,
\nseu Venus indicio facit hoc offensa paterno,)
\ntalia verba refert: ‘melius sequerere volentem
\noptantemque eadem parilique cupidine captam.
\ndignus eras ultro (poteras certeque) rogari,
\net, si spem dederis, mihi crede, rogaberis ultro.
\nneu dubites absitque tuae fiducia formae,
\nen ego, cum dea sim, nitidi cum filia Solis,
\ncarmine cum tantum, tantum quoque gramine possim,
\nut tua sim, voveo. spernentem sperne, sequenti
\nredde vices, unoque duas ulciscere facto.’
\ntalia temptanti ‘prius’ inquit ‘in aequore frondes’
\nGlaucus ‘et in summis nascentur montibus algae,
\nSospite quam Scylla nostri mutentur amores.’
\nindignata dea est et laedere quatenus ipsum
\nnon poterat (nec vellet amans), irascitur illi,
\nquae sibi praelata est; venerisque offensa repulsa,
\nprotinus horrendis infamia pabula sucis
\nconterit et tritis Hecateia carmina miscet
\ncaerulaque induitur velamina perque ferarum
\nagmen adulantum media procedit ab aula
\noppositumque petens contra Zancleia saxa
\nRegion ingreditur ferventes aestibus undas,
\nin quibus ut solida ponit vestigia terra
\nsummaque decurrit pedibus super aequora siccis.
\nparvus erat gurges, curvos sinuatus in arcus,
\ngrata quies Scyllae: quo se referebat ab aestu
\net maris et caeli, medio cum plurimus orbe
\nsol erat et minimas a vertice fecerat umbras.
\nhunc dea praevitiat portentificisque venenis
\ninquinat; hic pressos latices radice nocenti
\nspargit et obscurum verborum ambage novorum
\nter noviens carmen magico demurmurat ore.
\nScylla venit mediaque tenus descenderat alvo,
\ncum sua foedari latrantibus inguina monstris
\nadspicit ac primo credens non corporis illas
\nesse sui partes, refugitque abigitque timetque
\nora proterva canum, sed quos fugit, attrahit una
\net corpus quaerens femorum crurumque pedumque
\nCerbereos rictus pro partibus invenit illis:
\nstatque canum rabie subiectaque terga ferarum
\ninguinibus truncis uteroque exstante coercet.
\nFlevit amans Glaucus nimiumque hostiliter usae
\nviribus herbarum fugit conubia Circes;
\nScylla loco mansit cumque est data copia, primum
\nin Circes odium sociis spoliavit Ulixem;
\nmox eadem Teucras fuerat mersura carinas,
\nni prius in scopulum, qui nunc quoque saxeus exstat,
\ntransformata foret: scopulum quoque navita vitat.<\/p>\n
