    • (Can we date this quote?) Propertius. In: Propertius with an English translation by H. E. Butler, 1916, pp. 144f., 154f., 162f:
      Io versa caput primos mugiverat annos:
      So Io wore a strange guise and lowed all her earlier years;
      illic aspicis scopulis haerere Sorores
      et canere antiqui dulcia furta Iovis,
      ut Semela est combustus, ut est deperditus Io,
      [...]
      There shalt thou see the Sisters clinging to the crags, while they chant the sweet loves of Jove in olden time, how he was consumed with fire for Semele, how madly he loved Io, [...]
      tu certe Iovis occultis in amoribus, Io,
      sensisti multas quid sit inire vias,
      [...]
      Yet, Io, in truth thou didst learn in thy secret loves with Jove what it is to tread many paths of wandering, [...]
    • (Can we date this quote?) Publius Ovidius Naso, Ars amandi / Ars amatoria, liber I. In: Publius Ovidius Naso: Liebeskunst. Lateinisch-deutsch, 1980, p. 28 – translation from The Love Books of Ovid, p. 121:
      Et modo se Europen fieri, modo postulat Io,
      Altera quod bos est, altera vecta bove.
      Now she would be Europa; now she would be Io; the one because she was a heifer, the other because a bull bore her on his back.

      Why, Argus, who had eyes all over him and was set to guarding Io once by Juno, couldn't ever keep watch on those fellows, not if he tried.
