The winged Arcadian [Hermes] is the messenger of supreme Jove; Juno hath power over the rain-bringing Thaumantian [Iris the rainbow]; Triton, swift to obey, stands ready at Neptunus’ bidding.
Statius, Silvae 3.3.80
A sea tossed by the winds, on which you are none the less making ready to sail, despite the threatening floods...Look you, how Eurus [the East Wind] tosses the rolling waters!...Soon the winds will fall, and o’er the smooth-spread waves will Triton course with cerulean steeds.
Ovid, Heroides 7.41
