Dilemma

Plautus, Casina 971 (tr. David Christenson):
Wolves on the left, dogs on the right!

hac lupi, hac canes.
Horace, Satires 2.2.64 (tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):
On the one side, as the saying is, a wolf attacks, on the other a dog.

hac urget lupus, hac canis, aiunt.
See Renzo Tosi, Dictionnaire des sentences latines et grecques, tr. Rebecca Lenoir (Grenoble: Jérôme Millon, 2010), #669, p. 522.
