[27] amores: not of Thetis herself (cf. Catul. 6.16n.), but of the passion of Zeus for her,—‘in whose favor the father of the gods himself resigned his passion.’ With the plural cf. Catul. 38.6; Catul. 64.334, Catul. 64.372; Catul. 68.69; Catul. 96.3; Pl. Merc. 2 “et argumentum et meos amores eloquar” ; Hor. Carm. 2.9.10 “ nec tibi Vespero surgente decedunt amores” ; Verg. Ecl. 9.56 “nostros in longum ducis amores.”
