Cic. Prov. 29 an … laurea illa … amittit … viriditatem? part a 13 7b–10 tuque o pelagi cui maior aperti fama, Caledonius postquam tua carbasa vexit Oceanus Phrygios prius indignatus Iulos, eripe me populis et habenti nubila terrae, The personal pronoun here is followed by a relative clause but not by a vocative, for sancte pater, whether it be read in 11 or in 13, is preceded by the imperative eripe and so cannot belong directly to the tu-clause.

It is indeed, as Langen states, not necessary to think exclusively of Hercules’ achievements. It would, however, be unwise to overlook the fact that in the case of Achelous it is explicitly stated that Hercules broke (fracta) his horn in their fight over Deianira (Ov. Met. ).

For repetition of the same word (whether or not used in the same sense) within a few lines see Austin’s note on V.
