- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.52–54:
- [...] Hic vastō rēx Aeolus antrō
luctantēs ventōs tempestātēsque sonōrās
imperiō premit ac vinclīs et carcere frēnat.- Here in a vast cave, King Aeolus –
struggling stormwinds! and resounding tempests! –
by [his] command represses, both with chains and a prison [he] restrains.
(Through evocative word-sounds the poet repeats the consonants “s” and “t” to portray fantastical noises caused by trapped stormwinds. See literary consonance; Aeolus (son of Hippotes).)
- Here in a vast cave, King Aeolus –
- [...] Hic vastō rēx Aeolus antrō
- (figuratively) commotion, disturbance; calamity, misfortune
