circumvagus

Updated: May 27, 2025

Horace in his 16th Epode is probably alluding to these islands when he is speaking of the Civil Wars and of flying from their horrors in those beautiful lines: Nos manet Oceanus circumvagus; arva beata Petamus arva divites et insulas, &c. Strabo in another passage expresses an opinion that the Elysian fields were in the southern parts of Spain.
