To Rome

On the land horses could be seen clearly. “The horses are a sign of a battle,” says Anchises; “the horses bear war. We should not engage in battle.” They do not remain there, but hurry to the neighbouring Sicily. Aetna frightens them, and they hurry from Sicily.

Then Juno, queen of the gods, who the Trojans do not like, comes to Aoelus, who controls and rules the winds, and says:

“If the strong winds will blow on the ships of the Trojans, I will have great thanks, and give you a great treasure.”

Aeolus hastens to hurl the winds into the ships. The Trojans become frightened of the high waves. The arms of the men are in the waves. Then Neptune, the got of the waves, hears the winds and comes to the place where the ships are. The anger of Neptune is great; the winds flee far. A few of the Trojans are lost; the survivours come to the neighbouring land and are being protected. But in which land are they? They do not know, but did not hesitate to make camp.
