Nick, I think you must be absolutely right that the likeliest source for this is a Latin original. I'm surprised that's not been suggested before. Or am I? Personally, I pledge never again to make casual references to Diog. Laert. 2.32. As for ἓν οἶδα, it must be a translation of the...

Bingo, Carolyn!

When you check your post on the other forum, hector, you'll find I've already replied, referring you to Menander fr. 572 etc. But certainly the Roman poets, and especially Vergil, Aeneid 10.284 (audentes fortuna iuvat) were closer to your thought. By the way, "Hellenic Greek" means "Greek...

In any case, the correct reference should be to a Virgo Patria (nominative case), not Virgini Patriae (dative). And you're right, there's no mention of such a personage in either De B. G. 5 (Carnutes) or 6 (Druid customs). Nor can patria virgo be a proper name: at most, it would mean...
