Exempla

“nudus Arboris Othrys erat nec habebat Pelion umbras”

Mount Othrys is devoid of trees; Mount Pelion does not have shade

“Umbra loco⟳ deerat: qua postquam parte resedit dis genitus vates et fila sonantia movit, umbra loco⟳ venit.”

There was no shade there; but, when the poet—born of the god—sat down and moved the strings of his lyre, shade came to that spot.

““… vel Pater omnipotēns adigat mē fulmine ad umbrās,”

“… or the Father almighty hurl me with his thunderbolt to the shades, the pallid shades and boundless night of Erebus ….” (That is, the Underworld, or land of the dead. The repetition is an example of epanalepsis.)

“in eo te umbram luxuriae reperturum putas?”

You think you shall find even a shadow of luxury in that man?
