Lucan, Civil War (Bellum civile (Pharsalia))
The peoples of the East with Pompey: the Ganges flowing against the sun, the Indus that does not feel the Hydaspes, Indians who sip sweet juice from reeds and those who mount the pyre alive (3.229–40); the Ganges stained with Indian blood by Alexander (10.33); Indian tortoise-shell and Seric silk at Cleopatra's feast (10.120–42).
