Where, O king, destined to perish, are you directing your unavailing flight? Alas, lost one, you know not whom you flee; you are running from enemies, whilst you flee from your foe. You fall upon the rock Scylla desiring to avoid the whirlpool Charybdis. [Lat., Quo tendis inertem Rex periture, fugam? Nescis heu, perdite! nescis Quem fugias; hostes incurris, dum fugis hostem. Incidis in Scyllam cupiens vitare Charybdim.] - Alexandriad (bk. V, 298), source said to be Quintus Curtius [Danger]
