[reverie-quotes]

Is it the gods who put this fire in our minds, or is it that each man's relentless longing becomes a god to him?

Gladiator II (2024) by Ridley Scott

Hanno recites some verses upon Caracalla's request of commenting the fight he's just won.

The original verses are from Book VI (126-129) of Aeneid: they're part of a prophecy Aeneas receives from the Cumaean Sybil, priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle at Cumae, near Naples

Facilis descensus Averno;

Noctes atque dies patet atri ianua Ditis;

Sed revocare

Gradum superasque evadere ad auras,

Hoc opus, hic labor est

The English translation is

Easy is the descent to Avernus;

Night and day the door of gloomy Dis stands open;

But to recall

One's steps and pass out to the upper air,

This is the task, this is the toil

Dante Alighieri took the concept of Dis (originally Pluto, the god presiding Avernus, the pagan afterlife) and used it as a synonym for Lucifer; as a matter of fact, the lowest part of hell in the Divina Commedia is called "città di Dite" (city of Dis), in opposition to "città di Dio", that is Heaven.

Do not relent before distress, but be far bolder than your fortune would permit.
