'''"{{lang|it|Mentre dormi amor fomenti}}"''' is an aria sung by the character Licidas (Italian: {{lang|it|Licida}})(German: {{lang|de|Lycidas (1733)}}) in [[Antonio Caldara]]'s ''[[L'olimpiade (Caldara)]]''. The libretto was created by [[Pietro Metastasio]]; Caldara's opera was the first time that ''[[L'olimpiade (Metastasio)|L'olimpiade]]'' was set to music.

The booklet <ref name="booklet"/> states that the Role of Licidas was sung by the famous castrato [[Gaetano Orsini]]. However, the title page of the score in Vienna has Gaetano (Orsini) as King Clisthenes and (Pietro?) [[Pietro Cassati|Cassati]] as Licidas.<ref name="IMSLP"/> This could not be immediately corroborated and would merit additional research.
