Petronius Satyricon 98

In You, dearest Father, in Your hands do we place our safekeeping. …

Plautus Captivi 909-910

May Jupiter and the Gods destroy you, and your stomach, and all the parasites that dwell in it, and all those who shall encourage them henceforth

Virgil Aeneid II.689-91)

Jupiter Almighty, if any prayers bend You, look upon us. This only, and, if our piety deserves, then grant us Your assistance, Father, and confirm all these portents .

Seneca Hercules Furens 205

Almighty Ruler from Olympus on high, Judge of All the World, set now a limit to my cares that have been for too long, and put an end to my disasters.

Plautus Captivi 768-775

Great Jupiter supreme, you who are my patron god, it is you who makes me rich and givest to me wealth in sumptuous abundance, honor and gains, and games and play and festivals, and trains of servants bringing meat and drink, fullness and joy! It is certain now that I do not need to beg of any man. Nay, for now I can do a good turn for a friend, or ruin a foe. The pleasure of my days is brought to such sweet delight, with an ample heritage to pass on with all attachments worn away .

Plautus Amphitryon 933-4

If in that I should fail, then, mighty Jupiter, I pray that you will forever let your anger fall on (me).
