^ P. 36. The famous Ideeas of Virgil on the storm are expressed in that 

 poet's inimitable description in the 1st Book of the ^neid. Virgil represents 

 Neptune as possessed of absolute power over all the waters below the firma- 

 ment, the iviperium pelagi, which authority had fallen to his share on the 

 death of Saturn. His elder brother Jupiter rided over all the powers of the 

 air, and ^olus, the ruler of the storm-clouds, was an inferior deity, whose 

 control of the winds was regulated by fixed meteorological laws {certo feedere), 

 and he lets loose the winds, by striking with his spear the volcanic Stromboli 

 only at the order of Juno, Joris et soror et conjux.
