Hyrcanian Quotes

Do ye not think ye are making war on Hyrcanian tigers or facing angry Libyan lions? (Statius)
Like a trembling hind pursued by a Hyrcanian tigress, or like a pigeon that checks her flight when she sees a hawk in the sky, or like a hare that dives into the thicket at sight of the eagle hovering with outstretched wings in the cloudless sky. View quote
