Wagn. once referred praecipiti
delata Noto to Allecto. But it is much
more natural to take it of Danae, who is
represented as having landed in Italy by
stress of weather (noto compulsus 1.
575). Virg. may have thought of Simonides'
celebrated lines about Danae on
the sea, though he apparently means her
to have companions like Dido. Some of
Pierius' MSS. read Ardua, so as to make
a difference between the original and subsequent
name of the city. But the point
of the passage is that Ardea retains her
ancient name but has lost her ancient
glory. The city was desolate in the time
of Virg., who is evidently speaking of his
own day in saying nunc. One legend
was that the name came from a heron
which flew out of the ashes when the town
was sacked (Ov. M. 14. 574 foll.), and
some have fancied that avis here means
a bird.
