ALU DICUNT ab hac am lovem raptum et ad latebras Cre- tenses perlatum, cum a Saturno ubique quacreretur. Ipsam etiam Iovi cum adversus Titanas bellum gereret, obvolasse in augurium ac statim victoriam consecutam, et ideo inter sidera collocatam. Thus in a very careful and exhaustive manner does our author narrate the various and, to a certain degree, conflicting interpre- tations of the fact that the eagle was under the protection of luppiter. As luppiter represents the light in its victory ove...r darkness, the growth of the sway of reason and law over brute force, we are not Surprised to find that he retained his throne only after terrible conflicts with giants and Titans, who symbolize those wild and un- regulated forces of nature before their control by the principles of law and order. Of these struggles Servius has -little to say ; though he seems to assert that the Titans fought not against lup- piter but against Cronus (VI 580), and that it was the giants who were in conflict with Zeus (III 578).
