Pausanias Description of Greece 10.29.3:

Tityos too is in the picture; he is no longer being punished, but has been reduced to nothing by continuous torture, an indistinct and mutilated phantom. Going on to the next part of the picture, you see very near to the man who is twisting the rope a painting of Ariadne. Seated on a rock she is looking at her sister Phaedra, who is on a swing grasping in either hand the rope on each side. The attitude, though quite gracefully drawn, makes us infer the manner of Phaedra’s death (original Greek).

For desire comes not upon men alone, or even women, but it also stirs up the spirits of the gods and goes upon the sea. Not even all-powerful Zeus has the strength to ward it off but yields and willingly gives way [to it]… (translated by Aaron J. Ivey)
