BOOK III.

ARGUMENT.

IN the winter after the overthrow of Troy, Aeneas builds a fleet (1-8). He sails with a number of fellow-exiles in the spring or summer of the second year, and spends the winter in Thrace, where he begins to found a city; but the shade of Polydōrus warns him to avoid the cursed land (8-68). In the third year, he goes to Delos, and consults the oracle, but, misinterpreting the response, steers for Crete instead of Italy (73– 120). Ill omens and a plague retard the building of his rising city; but, warned by the gods, in the fifth year he directs his course to Italy (121-191). He is wafted in a storm to the Strophades, thence to Actium, where he celebrates games in honor of Apollo (192-290). In the sixth year, he lands in Epirus, and finds it ruled over by Helēnus, one of the sons of Priam, to whom, after the death of Pyrrhus, the kingdom had fallen, and along with it Andromache, formerly the wife of Hector. He is received with great kindness, and instructed by Helenus in all the labors and dangers that yet await him on his voyage (291-505). Crossing to the Italian shore, he coasts southward, approaches the district of Sicily near to Aetna, escapes the Cyclōpes, and again stands out to sea (506-683). Avoiding Scylla and Charybdis, he reaches Drepanum, where his father Anchises dies; thence setting sail, he is driven to Carthage, where he arrives in the summer of the seventh year, probably as winter is drawing on (684-718).
