105 Is it, as Varro has remarked, that maidens are grieved over marrying, but older women are glad, and on a holiday one should do nothing in grief or by constraint?

105 Or is it rather because it is seemly that not a few should be present when maidens marry, but disgraceful that many should be present when widows marry? Now the first marriage is enviable: but the second is to be deprecated, for women are ashamed if they take a second husband while the first husband is still living, and they feel sad if they do so when he is dead. Wherefore they rejoice in a quiet wedding rather than in noise and processions. Holidays distract most people, so that they have no leisure for such matters.

105 Or, because they seized the maiden daughters of the Sabines at a holiday festival, and thereby became involved in war, did they come to regard it as ill-omened to marry maidens on holy days?

106 Why do the Romans reverence Fortuna Primigenia, Cf. 281 e, supra, 322 f, infra; Cicero, De Legibus, ii. 11; Livy, xxxiv. 53. or First-born, as one might translate it?

106 Is it because by Fortune, as they say, it befell Servius, born of a maidservant, to become a famous king of Rome? This is the assumption which the majority of Romans make.

106 Or is it rather because Fortune supplied the origin and birth of Rome? Cf. 320 b ff., infra.

106 Or does the matter have an explanation more natural and philosophic, which assumes that Fortune is the origin of everything, and Nature acquires its solid frame by the operation of Fortune, whenever order is created in any store of matter gathered together at haphazard.

107 Why do the Romans call the Dionysiac artists Cf.Moralia, 87 f. histriones Cf. Livy, vii. 2; closely followed by Valerius Maximus, ii. 4. 4.?
