[143, 144] Latinis for ‘Latinae’ Pal. (the last two letters in an erasure) and originally Gud. ‘Magnanimi Iovis,’ below v. 878, where, as here, it seems to be used in a bad or half-ironical sense. ‘Ingratum’ seems to represent Juno's own feeling, and also that which she supposes Juturna to entertain, as the union with Jove brought no happiness to those whom he honoured with his love. Comp. the language about Io in the Prometheus of Aesch.
