(1) Vetus est haec opinio, iudices, quae constat ex antiquissimis Graecorum litteris ac monumentis, insulam Siciliam totam esse Cereri et Liberae consecratam. Hoc quum caeterae gentes sic arbitrantur, tum ipsis Siculis ita persuasum est, ut in animis eorum insitum atque innatum esse videatur. Nam et natas esse has in iis locis deas et fruges in ea terra primum repertas esse arbitrantur et raptam esse Liberam, quam eamdem Proserpinam vocant, ex Hennensium Hennensium nemore: qui locus, quod in media est insula situs, umbilicus Siciliae nominatur. quam quum investigare et conquirere Ceres vellet, dicitur inflammasse taedas iis ignibus, qui ex Aetnae vertice erumpunt: quas sibi quum ipsa praeferret, orbem omnem peragrasse terrarum. Henna autem, ubi ea, quae dico, gesta esse memorantur, est loco perexcelso atque edito, quo in summo est aequata agri planities et aquae perennes, tota vero ab omni aditu circumcisa atque directa est: quam circa lacus lucique sunt plurimi atque lactissimi flores omni tempore anni, locus ut ipse raptum illum virginis, quem iam a pueris accepimus, declarare videatur.

CIC. Verr. II. lib. iv. 48.

Aquila in sublimi quercu nidum fecerat;
Feles cavernam nacta in media pepererat ;
Sus nemoris cultrix fetum ad imam posuerat.
Tum fortuitum feles contubernium

Fraude et scelesta sic evertit malitia.

Ad nidum scandit volucris: Pernicies, ait,

Tibi paratur, forsan et miserae mihi;

Nam fodere terram quod vides quotidie

Aprum insidiosum, quercum vult evertere,

Ut nostram in plano facile progeniem opprimat.

Terrore offuso et perturbatis sensibus

Derepit ad cubile setosae suis:

Magno, inquit, in periclo sunt nati tui;

Nam, simul exieris pastum cum tenero grege,

Aquila est parata rapere porcellos tibi.

Hune quoque timore postquam complevit locum,
Dolosa tuto condidit sese cavo.

Inde evagata noctu suspenso pede,
Ubi esca se replevit et prolem suam,
Pavorem simulans prospicit toto die.
Ruinam metuens aquila ramis desidet;
Aper rapinam vitans non prodit foras.

Quid multa? Inedia sunt consumpti cum suis.

(1) Ibi usque ad hoc tempus Syracusani festos dies anniversarios agunt celeberrimo virorum mulierumque conventu. Propter huius opinionis vetustatem, quod horum in iis locis vestigia ac prope incunabula reperiuntur deorum, mira quaedam tota Sicilia privatim ac publice religio est Cereris Hennensis. Etenim multa saepe prodigia vim eius numenque declarant: multis saepe in difficillimis rebus praesens auxilium eius oblatum est, ut haec insula ab ea non solum diligi, sed etiam incoli custodirique videatur. Nec solum Siculi, verum etiam caeterae gentes nationesque Hennensem Cererem maxime colunt. Etenim si Atheniensium sacra summa cupiditate expetuntur, ad quos Ceres in illo errore venisse dicitur frugesque attulisse: quantam esse religionem convenit eorum, apud quos eam natam esse et fruges invenisse constat? Itaque apud patres nostros atroci ac difficili rei publicae tempore, quum Ti. Graccho occiso magnorum periculorum metus ex ostentis portenderetur, P. Mucio L. Calpurnio consulibus, aditum est ad libros Sibyllinos: ex quibus inventum est, Cererem antiquissimam placari oportere.

Cani perpasto macie confectus lupus
Forte occucurrit: dein salutatum invicem
Ut restiterunt: Unde sic, quaeso, nites?
Aut quo cibo fecisti tantum corporis?
Ego, qui sum longe fortior, pereo fame.
Canis simpliciter: Eadem est conditio tibi,
Praestare domino si par officium potes.
Quod? inquit ille. Custos ut sis liminis,
A furibus tuearis et noctu domum.
Ego vero sum paratus: nunc patior nives
Imbresque in silvis asperam vitam trahens:
Quanto est facilius mihi sub tecto vivere,
Et otiosum largo satiari cibo?

Veni ergo mecum. Dum procedunt, aspicit
Lupus a catena collum detritum cani.

CIC. Verr. II. lib. iv. 48.

Unde hoc, amice? Nihil est. Dic, quaeso, tamen.

Quia videor acer, alligant me interdiu,

Luce ut quiescam, et vigilem nox quum venerit :
Crepusculo solutus, qua visum est, vagor.

Adfertur ultro panis; de mensa sua
Dat ossa dominus; frusta jactant familia
Et, quod fastidit quisque, pulmentarium.
Sic sine labore venter impletur meus.
