Mulciber in Troiam, pro Troia stabat Apollo; aequa Venus Teucris, Pallas iniqua fuit. oderat Aenean propior Saturnia Turno; ille tamen Veneris numine tutus erat. saepe ferox cautum petiit Neptunus Ulixem; eripuit patruo saepe Minerva suo. et nobis aliquod, quamvis distamus ab illis, quis vetat irato numen adesse deo?
Mulciber was opposed to Troy, but in Troys defence stood Apollo; Venus favoured the Teucrians, Pallas favoured them not. There was hate for Aeneas on the part of Saturnia who stood closely by Turnus; yet that hero was safe through Venus power. Ofttimes unruly Neptune assailed the wily Ulysses; ofttimes Minerva saved him from her own uncle. And different though I am from them, who forbids a divine power from being of some avail to me against the angry god?
