- 8 CE, Ovid, Metamorphoses 2.234:
- Tum vero Phaethon cunctis e partibus orbem
adspicit accensum nec tantos sustinet aestus
ferventisque auras velut e fornace profunda
ore trahit currusque suos candescere sentit;
et neque iam cineres eiectatamque favillam
ferre potest calidoque involvitur undique fumo,
quoque eat aut ubi sit, picea caligine tectus
nescit et arbitrio volucrum raptatur equorum.
- Tum vero Phaethon cunctis e partibus orbem
- 8 CE, Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.245:
- Dissipat hunc radiis Hyperione natus iterque
dat tibi, qua possis defossos promere vultus;
nec tu iam poteras enectum pondere terrae
tollere, nympha, caput corpusque exsangue iacebas:
nil illo fertur volucrum moderator equorum
post Phaethonteos vidisse dolentius ignes.
- Dissipat hunc radiis Hyperione natus iterque
- c. 45 CE – 96 CE, Statius, Thebaid 10.228:
- Vertice sic Pholoes volucrum nutritor equorum,
cum fetura gregem pecoroso vere novauit,
laetatur cernens hos montis in ardua niti,
hos innare vadis, certare parentibus illos;
tunc vacuo sub corde movet, qui molle domandi
ferre iugum, qui terga boni, quis in arma tubasque
natus, ad Eleas melior quis surgere palmas:
talis erat turmae ductor longaeuus Achivae.
- Vertice sic Pholoes volucrum nutritor equorum,
