the notions of haunting (G. 4. 459),
guarding (6. 575), observing and preserving
in memory. Perhaps the last is the

Proxuma after leaving Caieta.
Raduntur by the ships in passing, 3.
700. Circaeae terrae, Circeii; which,
being on the mainland, is identified with
Homer's island of Circe (Od. 10. 135 foll.)
by supposing that the island had become
joined to the mainland, by alluvial deposits
or, as Varro ap. Serv. says, by the
draining of marshes. Comp. Theophrast.
Hist. Plant. 5. 9, Pliny 3. 5. 9 (quoted
by Heyne). Virg. himself calls it Aeaeae
insula Circae, 3. 386, where Helenus
predicts that Aeneas should v the shore, where
the flat land of the marshes sinks below
the horizon. For the legends which connected
Ulysses with this part of Italy see
Lewis pp. 327 foll. Telegonus, son of
Ulysses and Circe, is the mythical founder
of Tusculum. The very name Caieta was
said by some to have been originally *ai)h/th
(comp. Caulon, Aulon, note on 3. 553), a
name associated by Lycophron, v. 1273,
with the mooring of the Argo there, but
more probably having to do with the Aeaean
Circe, the sister of Aeetes of Co
Two gates the silent house of Sleep adorn;
Of polish'd ivory this, that of transparent horn:
True visions thro' transparent horn arise;
Thro' polish'd ivory pass deluding lies.
Of various things discoursing as he pass'd,
Anchises hither bends his steps at last.
Then, thro' the gate of iv'ry, he dismiss'd
His valiant offspring and divining guest.
Straight to the ships Aeneas his way,
Embark'd his men, and skimm'd along the sea,
Still coasting, till he gain'd Caieta's bay.
At length on oozy ground his galleys moor;
Their heads are turn'd to sea, their sterns to shore.
Now Sleep has portals twain, whereof the one
Is horn, they say, and easy exit gives
To visions true; the other, gleaming white
With polished ivory, the.dead employ
To people night with unsubstantial dreams.
Here now Anchises bids his son farewell;
And with Sibylla, his companion sage,
Up through that ivory portal lets him rise.
Back to his fleet and his dear comrades all
Aeneas hastes.Then hold they their straight course
Into Caieta's bay. An anchor holds
Each lofty prow; the sterns stand firm on shore.
One more immortal name thy death bequeathed,
Nurse of Aeneas, to Italian shores,
Caieta; there thy honor hath a home;
Thy bones a name: and on Hesperia's breast
Their proper glory.
P. Ovidius Naso, Metamorphoses (ed. Arthur Golding), Book 14, line 441 (search)
This was the end of Macars tale. And ere long tyme was gone,
Aenaeas Nurce was buryed in a tumb of marble stone,
And this short verse was set theron: In this same verry place
My Nurcechyld whom the world dooth know to bee a chyld of grace
Delivering mee, Caieta, quicke from burning by the Grayes,
Hathe burnt mee dead with such a fyre as justly winnes him prayse.
Theyr Cables from the grassye strond were loosde, and by and by
From Circes slaunderous house and from her treasons farre they fly.
And making to the thickgrowen groves where through the yellow dust
The shady Tyber into sea his gusshing streame dooth thrust,
Aenaeas got the Realme of king Latinus, Fawnus sonne,
And eeke his daughter, whom in feyght by force of armes he wonne.
He enterprysed warre ageinst a Nation feerce and strong.
And Turne was wrothe for holding of his wyfe away by wrong.
Ageinst the Shyre of Latium met all Tyrrhene, and long
With busye care hawlt victorie by force of armes was sought.
