AFTER the destruction of Troy, Æneas, having collected the remains of his fellow-countrymen who had escaped the slaughter and the flames, and having prepared a fleet of twenty ships, lands first in Thrace. While he is here laying the foundations of a future city, he becomes alarmed at the warnings of the shade of Polydorus, the son of Priam, who had been slain by Polymnestor. He leaves Thrace, steers south, and reaches Delos, where he is most generously welcomed by Anius, king of the island. Here also, having consulted the oracle of Apollo, he is told to seek the land of his ancestors, but by an erroneous interpretation of the oracle put upon it by Anchises, he leaves Delos, and in a short time arrives on the shores of Crete. Here also, having founded a city, which he called "Pergama," and being afflicted with a sudden plague, he is warned in a vision to leave Crete and proceed to Italy. In this passage a mighty storm arises, by which he is driven to the islands Strophades, in the Ionian Sea. Leaving these islands, he lands at Actium, and celebrates games in honour of Apollo. He next passes Corcyra, and arrives at Epirus, a country then held by Helenus, son of Priam, into whose hands Andromache had fallen after the death of Pyrrhus. Helenus receives Æneas with great distinction, and at his departure loads him with presents. From Epirus Æneas steers to Tarentum, and approaches the district of Sicily adjacent to mount Etna. The precepts of Helenus now enable him to avoid the dangers of Scylla and Charybdis; he sails round the coast of Sicily, and at length reaches Drepanum, where Anchises dies, worn out with old age and the fatigues of so long a voyage. Thence he attempts to make for Italy, but a sudden storm raised by Æolus casts him on the shores of Africa, as the poet has already described in Book First. The events recorded in this book embrace a period of more than six years. POSTQUAM res Asiæ Priamique evertere gentem 5 3. In what case and gender is humo?
