Greetings,
From Quo Vadis:
A oto już ledwie pół tarczy zza wzgórz wygląda - odpowiedział stary wojownik. - Bogdaj to słodki klimat Sycylii, gdzie wieczorami lud zbiera się na rynkach, aby chóralnym śpiewem żegnać zachodzącego Feba.
Is "Feb" a Polish word? I can find no trace of it in any language. Any ideas, please?
Thank you,
Simon
