                    "Come now, goddess-born,
arise and, as the stars first set, be sure
to offer fitting prayers to Juno; let
your humble gifts defeat her threats and anger.
And when you are a victor, honor me.
I am the one you see touching the banks
with floods, dividing fat and well-tilled fields.
I am the blue-green Tiber, river most
beloved of the heavens. My great home
is here, and here the source of splendid cities."

– the river god Tiberinus reassures Aeneas in a dream, from Book VIII of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
