Felices, mediis que sedare fluctibus ausi
nec tantas timuere vias talemque secuti
huc qui deinde verum; sed sic quoque talis abito.
Happy, they who braved the intervening seas,
nor feared so long a voyage, but straightaway
followed so valiant a hero to this land; for
all that, valiant though he be, let him begone.
Argonautica, Book VII, 18-20
Gaius Valerius Flaccus
