1 Some quote in illustration of this line Plin. N.H. XVIII. 361, praesagiunt … delphini tranquillo mari lasciuientes flatum, Which seems to show that, according to pliny, even the ordinary gambols of the dolphin are ominous if they take place in a calm sea. Whether Lucan believed this or not does not matter, for in v. 551 he plainly tells us that the sea was not calm.
