Quotation from Heroides by Ovid
“For the languor clings to me, for causes that do not appear; worn out, I find no help in the physician’s art.”
Heroides, Letter XXI (Cydippe to Acontius), trans. Grant Showerman (1914)
Cydippe writes from her sickbed, wasted by a fever that she half believes Diana has sent because of the oath on the apple.
