| Context | Description of Clodia (as 'Our Lady of the Ox-Eyes'). |
| Comments | Greek name Βοῶπις (Ox-Eyes) is a standard Homeric epithet for Hera; relevant a) because of appearance of Clodia's eyes, b) because Hera was the wife of her brother Zeus and Cicero accuses Clodia of incest with her brother Clodius (Shackleton Bailey). Also used II.12.2 (30), II.9.1 (29), II.14.1 (34) |
