Fratres Helenae
All Resolutions
Description:
Decorative border made of leaves, flowers and fruit, inside which is written an excerpt of Horace’s Ode 1.3. The full stanza reads:
Sic te diva potens Cypri,
Sic fratres Helenae, lucida sidera,
Ventorumque regat pater
Obstrictis aliis praeter Iapyga.
Which can be understood as:
May the goddess who rules over Cyprus, and Helen’s brothers, those bright stars, and the lord of the winds, tying up all the others except Zephyr, guide you.
