A Poem for Angitia

A POEM FOR ANGITIA: a paraphrased of Silius Italicus (c26-191 CE) Angitia the Daughter of Eeta the Sun And the Sea-nymph Persa Was first to use herbs In magic and wellness. She is Mistress of Venoms. She murmurs by the stream To draw down the Moon. By her command the river is held back. The mountains and the forests become still.
