Overview

Excerpt from P. Vergili Maronis Opera, Vol. 2: Notes Hyolaeis, the bees of Hybla in Sicily were famous, and this is what is called the 'literary' use of epithets: wine is called 'massie' or 'falernian', marble is 'parian', the arrow is 'cydonian', the bow is 'parthian', &c. Not so much to specify the kind, as to remind the reader of the Greek poets who speak of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
