128. LUCIUS CORNELIUS SULLA, born B.C. 138, was afterwards the great rival of Marius in a bloody civil war. Marius was merely a soldier; but Sulla was also a statesman and a man of letters, one of the greatest men whom Rome produced, but stained with licentiousness, avarice, and cold-blooded cruelty. The office of Quæstor was that of treasurer in the city, paymaster in the army. (Hb. § 135.)

OVID.

PUBLIUS OVIDIUS NASO was born in Sulmo, a town of the Peligni, B.C. 43. He was a highly endowed and voluminous poet, and for a long time enjoyed favor at the court of Augustus, but was suddenly banished by him, from some unknown cause, to the northern coast of the Euxine Sea, where he died, A.D. 17. His principal work is the Metamorphoses, a collection of mythical fables, told in hexameter

verse.

Phaethon was son of Phoebus and Clymene. His mates having refused to credit his being the son of a god, he goes to his father to ask for a certain proof.
