According to Ovid, one day, Zeus noticed the maiden and lusted after her.

Ovid begins by noting that the first day of the month is dedicated to Carna.

As Ovid writes in his Fasti, June 1 was the festival day of Carna, besides being the kalendary festival of the month of Juno and the festival of Juno Moneta.

The flamen recited a prayer that Ovid quotes at length in the Fasti, his six-book calendar poem on Roman holidays which provides the most extended, though problematic, description of the day.

: Enough hath been the fortune of this day :" ( Ovid )

According to Apollonius of Rhodes and Ovid, amber originated from the tears of the Heliades, encased in poplars as dryads, shed when their brother, Phaeton, died and fell from the sky, struck by Zeus ' thunderbolt, and tumbled into the Eridanos, where " to this very day the marsh exhales a heavy vapour which rises from his smouldering wound ; no bird can stretch out its fragile wings to fly over that water, but in mid-flight it falls dead in the flames ;" " along the green banks of the river Eridanos ," Cygnus mourned him — Ovid told — and was transformed into a swan.

Both Varro and Festus state that the Quinquatrus was celebrated for only one day, but Ovid says that it was celebrated for five days, hence the name: on the first day no blood was shed, but that on the last four there were contests of gladiators.

Ovid says that this festival was celebrated in commemoration of the birthday of Minerva ; but according to Festus it was sacred to Minerva because her temple on the Aventine was consecrated on that day.

On the fifth day of the festival, according to Ovid, the trumpets used in sacred rites were purified ; but this seems to have been originally a separate festival called Tubilustrium, which ancient calendars place on 23 March.

As concerns public rites nothing of them survives, however on this day as described by Ovid, an old drunken woman ( anus ebria ) sits in a circle with other girls performing rites in the name of the Mute Goddess ( Tacita ) who is identified with the nymph Lara or Larunda.

In his Fasti, a long-form poem covering Roman holidays from January to June, Ovid presents a unique look at Roman antiquarian lore, popular customs, and religious practice that is by turns imaginative, entertaining, high-minded, and scurrilous ; not a priestly account, despite the speaker's pose as a vates or inspired poet-prophet, but a work of description, imagination and poetic etymology that reflects the broad humor and burlesque spirit of such venerable festivals as the Saturnalia, Consualia, and feast of Anna Perenna on the Ides of March, where Ovid treats the assassination of the newly deified Julius Caesar as utterly incidental to the festivities among the Roman people.

Mirroring his mythological namesake, Daedalus ( or Daidalos in the Greek pronunciation and transliteration ), whom Ovid described in the Metamorphoses ( VIII: 183-235 ) as being shut up in a tower to prevent his knowledge of the labyrinth from spreading to the public, Stephen is introduced taking breakfast in the Sandycove Martello tower in Dublin on the morning of 16 June 1904.

Amores I. 1 begins with the same word as the Aeneid, " Arma " ( an intentional comparison to the epic genre, which Ovid later mocks ), as the poet describes his original intention: to write an epic poem in dactylic hexameter, " with material suiting the meter " ( line 2 ), that is, war.

Ovid returns to the theme of war several times throughout the Amores, especially in poem nine of Book I, an extended metaphor comparing soldiers and lovers ( Militat omnis amans, " every lover is a soldier " I. 9 ln 1 ).
