Domum; house; for race, or nation, as in 284.- Ambiguam, bilingues; unreliable, treacherous; these terms express the national prejudice of Virgil and the Romans, which had rendered the term Punica fides a synonyme for bad faith. 662.

The anxiety of Venus about Aeneas had been relieved by the promises of Jupiter, (see 257, et seq.;) but now as the banquet hour approaches at nightfall, sub noctem, she thinks of the enmity of Juno, and of the new perils of the Trojans, and her fear returns. 663. Affatur. Gr. § 183, 6; Z. § 220.-664. Meae-temnis; my strength, my great power, who alone dost set at naught the Typhoian missiles of the supreme father. Gr. § 204, R. 3. The thunderbolts of Jupiter slew the giant Typhocus; G. i. 279; hence Typhoia. The power of love was a favorite theme with ancient, as it is with modern artists. Ancient painters sometimes represented Cupid as breaking in mockery the thunderbolts of Jupiter. Thorwaldsen, among the modern sculptors, has symbolized the triumph of Love over the universe, in the four beautiful bas-reliefs of "the four elements." In one of these the god is mounted on the back of the eagle of Jupiter, and wields his thunderbolt. — 666. Tua numina; thy divine powers or influences. - 667. Frater. See 618.

Comp. 4 and 251, ob iram. 669. Nota, for notum. Gr. § 205, R. 8, (b). This accords with the Greek idiom; see Kühner's Greek Gr. 241, 3. Wunderlich quotes as an example in prose Pliny's Panegyric, c. 54: An prona parvaque sunt, quod nemo incolumitatem turpitudine rependit? Junonia. This term implies the cause of her fear. Hospitalities which are extended by the people of Juno, (above, 15,) and which are subject to her influences, cannot be safe for the Trojans. Quo se vertant; what direction they may take. - 672. Tanto cessabit; at such an important crisis she will not be inactive. Cardine is here an ablative of time.-673. Ante; beforehand.-Flamma; with burning love.-674, 675.

The association of ideas is aided by the juxtaposition of the words; comp. v. 569, x. 734. See Arnold's L. P. C., Introduction, 15; Gr. § 279, 4; Z. § 798.-685. Gremio ; to her bosom; dative, for in gremium. 686. Laticem Lyaeum, the liquid of Bacchus, for vinum.

695-756. Cupid, having thus entered the palace disguised as the child Ascanius, exercises his pow over the mind of the queen, in obedience to the wishes of his mother, to make her forget Sychaeus, her deceased husband, and love Aeneas. She protracts the banquet by making many inquiries of Aeneas about the Trojan war, and the heroes engaged in it, and finally begs him to give an account of the sack of Troy, and of his own subsequent adventures.

696. Tyriis; for ad Tyrios. See on urbem, 677. - Duce laetus Achate, for libenter ducem habens Achaten. For the ablative after laetus see above, on 275.-697. Venit.

Jam conveniunt; are already assembling ; i. e. when Ascanius, or rather Cupid, arrives.—700. Discumbitur; they recline; literally, it is

the historical present, věnit; when he comes the queen has already assumea her position and placed herself in the midst. Mediam is for in medio, as in 348.

An ordinary dining-room, or triclinium, would not, of course, be used on the present occasion. With Famulae, supply sunt. Gr. § 209, R. 4; Z. § 776; comp. note on 157.

To prevent confusion at such an entertainment all the articles of food must be properly set out in the inner room by the servants, (famulae,) so that the waiters (ministri and ministrae) might promptly perform their duty of carrying the dishes into the banqueting hall, and changing the courses. Wagner and Ladewig adopt the reading longam penum.. Gr. § 88.704. Struere ; to arrange; i. e. before they are carried to the guests. - Flammis adolere ; to worship the household gods with incense. Comp. E. viii. 65, G. iv. 379. The altar of the penates is in the penetralia, intus, and the servants stationed there are required to burn incense before them, as a necessary accompaniment of the rites of hospitality. In Overbeck's Pompeii, page 200, there is a representation of the house altar and private worship of the Penates. Others understand by it, not keeping the altar fire burning, but preparing food with fire on the hearth.-706. Qui. Gr. § 205, R. 2, (1). The relative pronoun referring to two or more nouns denoting living beings, and of different gen der, is in the masculine.

Toris pictis; on the pictured couches; referring to the embroidered coverings, aulaeis, men-tioned above, 697.-Jussi; according to Wagner this is for et jussi sunt : and have been invited.

Inscia insideat; not knowing what a powerful divinity rests upon her. For the dative, see Gr. § 224; Z. § 415. The question insideat depends on inscia. Gr. § 265; Z. § 552.

Quies; subject of fuit understood; literally, when the first rest was to the feast. Translate: when the feasting was first suspended; referring to the courses of food. For the tense to be supplied, see on 216.- Mensae remotae; the courses were removed; the dishes of food which had formed the first part of the entertainment. Mensae as in 216.-724. Vina coronant; they wreathe the wine cups. Comp. iii. 525, G. ii. 528. Vina is equivalent to pocula.

In the Homeric language, to crown the wine is to fill the goblet to the brim. 725. Fit strepitus tectis; the noise (of festivity) arises in the palace.
