“The ladies are full of passion now, men are overcome with weakness,

Their heads and knees are scorched by Sirius’ heat”*

Alcaeus –

“It won’t let me go, till Barberry blooms in the groves,

The rise of Sirius weakens the male,

And fills the female with passion…

[…]

And the “Obolus”, which you will bring to Charon, clutching in your teeth” (pg. 30)
