[203] Od. 15. 400, μετὰ γάρ τε καὶ ἄλγεσι τέρπεται ἀνήρ, Ὅστις δὴ μάλαπολλὰ πάθῃ καὶ πόλλ᾽ ἐπαληθῇ: ib. 12. 212, καί που τῶνδε μνήσεσθαι ὀΐω. Macrob. Sat. 7. 2, quotes from Eur. (fr. 131), ὡς ἡδύ τοι σωθέντα μεμνῆσθαι πόνων, which is translated by Cic. Fin. 2. 32. Contrast, 11. 280, “nec veterum memini laetorve malorum.” Two assertions are included in Virg.'s words: ‘we shall remember these things’ (i. e. we shall live to think of them as past, and recall them as we are now recalling previous perils, which is the meaning of Od. 12. 212), and ‘we shall remember them with pleasure.’
