===Poliziano's ''In Albieram Albitiam puellam formosissimam morientem'' (1473)=== Febris was included as a character in the Italian poet [[Angelo Poliziano]]'s [[Latin]] work ''In Albieram Albitiam puellam formosissimam morientem''. Poliziano's Febris is his own fictional depiction rather than an actual mythological depiction.<ref name="Perosa"> Perosa, Alessandro, et al. βFebris: A Poetic Myth Created by Poliziano.β Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, vol. 9, 1946, pp. 74β95. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/750310. Accessed 15 Nov. 2022. </ref> Febris appears to a dying young woman named Albiera degli Albizzi. Despite never being physically described previously, Poliziano depicted Febris holding a torch in one hand and a snowball in the other, in a chariot drawn by monster-like lions which was accompanied by a train of monsters. She was described as looking "gruesome", similar to [[Erinyes]], as opposed to the beauty of Albiera degli Albizzi. She gives a deadly poison to sick Albizzi after saying "those who live sweet, die sweet" and then flies away with the lions.<ref name="Perosa"/>
