Fratres Helenae
All Resolutions
Description:
Decorative border made of leaves, flowers and fruit, inside which is written an excerpt of Horace’s Ode 1.3. The full stanza reads:
Sic te diva potens Cypri,
Sic fratres Helenae, lucida sidera,
Ventorumque regat pater
Obstrictis aliis praeter Iapyga
Which can be understood as:
Thus the powerful goddess of Cyprus,
Thus the brothers of Helen, bright stars,
And the father of winds guide you,
With others confined except for Iapyx
