[1517] ὀφίων γένος: cf.

Cumque super Libycas victor (sc. Perseus) penderet arenas,
Gorgonei capitis guttae cecidere cruentae:
Quas humus exceptas varios animavit in angues;
Unde frequens illa est, infestaque terra colubris

; Milton P. L. x 526, "not so thick swarmed once the soil Bedropt with blood of Gorgon." Lucan gives an elaborate version, Phars. 9. 619-99.
