  1  Inspired by my study of invece in Trust, I am now tracking recurrences of the term vicis in the Metamorphoses. I’ll share, here, two instances in book 4: In line 40 (the myth of the Minyeides), “perque uices,” meaning “by turns,” and line 218 (the myth of Clytie and Leucothoe), “noxque uicem peragit,” meaning “and night takes a turn.” The first instance refers to the alternating trajectory storytelling; the second to the turning of time.

  2  “The Poems of Gaius Valerius Catullus,” translated by F. W. Cornish, (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1988).
