Examples
“… celsā sedet Aeolus arce”
[King] Aeolus sits in his high citadel, holding his scepter, and [he is] soothing the passions [of the winds] and tempering their angry spirits. (Figuratively, by holding his scepter the king is wielding his authority. Note the poetic plural [sceptra] used in place of the singular [sceptrum]. See Aeolus (son of Hippotes).)
