Fascinating. There's a Latin passage on the page labeled Rover that comes
from Ovid Metamophoses, book 3 - referring to the dragon slain by Cadmus in
Ovid's story:
quique halitus
exit ore niger Stygio,
vitiatas inficit auras
"A black breath, as if from the mouth of the Styx, fouls the tainted air."
