[323] Juno follows her complaint, as in Book 1., by appealing for aid to one of the inferior powers; but her appeal to the powers of hell is of course the last resort and shows that destiny is about to be accomplished. ‘Ubi’ is constructed, like “postquam,” with the perf. in some cases where we should use the pluperf. See Madv. § 338 b. ‘Horrenda’ apparently = “torva,” as in 11. 507.
