Deliver me from these ills, unconquered one


Virgil with the Eneide between Clio and Melpomene (National Museum of Bardo, Tunis)

The Latin spelling Eripe me his, invisited, malis, literally translated, means to tear me, or invoke, from these sufferings. (Virgilio, Eneide, VI, 365).

It is the prayer that Palinuro addresses to Aeneas by meeting him in Hades, where he had fallen with the Sibyl, to remove him from eternal penis and bring him back to the world of the living. According to Eutropius (Breviarium ab Urbe condita, 9.13.2) and Aurelio Vittore (35.4), was the quotation by which Tetrico, Emperor of the Gauls, asked Aureliano, Roman emperor and his adversary, to allow him to abandon his own army on the eve of the Battle of Chalons.
