 MARCO VALERIO CORVO
Corvo, in latino Marcus Valerius Corvus, è stato un importante esponente della Gens Valeria, attivo nel quarto secolo.
Uomo politico e generale romano, Marco Valerio fu nel 349 AC compagno di Lucio Furio Camillo nella guerra contro i Galli ed in questa occasione acquisì il cognomen di Corvus a causa di un duello contro un Gallo gigantesco che vinse con l'aiuto di un corvo.
Il corvo mantenne la sua posizione e "quando iniziò il cambattimento, levatosi sulle ali si gettò con il rostro e gli artigli contro gli occhi del nemico".

Corvo and a small cadre of other Americans were convinced that it was much more desirable for this country to develop its own in­telligence system and indeed Italy was to become a testing ground for the OSS.
That Corvo possessed vital knowledge was reflected in a de­tailed topographical map of Sicily he constructed that entailed the location of German troop concentrations and strategic facili­ties in such detail that it surpassed anything then in the posses­sion of OSS.
Corvo met with Luigi Antonini, head of Local 89 of the Interna­tional Ladies Garment Workers Union, whose anti-Fascist lead­ership commended him to many in the Italian-American commu­nity who could be useful for intelligence purposes.

Corvo's Syndrome - a quasi-delusional state in which an individual sees himself, not the incumbent, as the Pope of Rome - is now rampant, in and out of the Catholic Church.
And West's dismissive tone is surely indicative of Corvo's Syndrome: 'Kiril, who in the early years of his reign had been seen as an innovator and passionate reformer, had become latterly a compulsive traveller, totally immersed in his public role as Universal Pastor, rattling the Keys of Peter wherever he was permitted to make landfall.
Arguably Corvo's Syndrome is reinforced by a variant of the ancient heresy, Pelagianism, taught by the British-born Pelagius (355-425), a monk, lawyer, rhetorician and theologian.
