Tu quoque, i. e. besides Misenus
and Palinurus. Cerda comp. the opening
of G. 3, Te quoque, magna Pales.
Heyne (Excursus 1) remarks that the
nurse was a personage of great consequence
in an ancient family, as appears in the
tragedians. Comp. 5. 645. The town
and promontory of Caieta were on the
confines of Latium and Campania, near
Formiae; and at Formiae, according to
Livy 40. 2, there was a temple of Apollo
and Caieta. For the legend and etymology
of the name see Heyne, Exc. 1,
Lewis vol. 1. pp. 326 foll. Litoribus
nostris is a vague or exaggerated expression.
Caieta may be said to have
conferred fame on a single spot on the
Italian coast: the coast itself rather conferred
fame on her. The poet speaks
in his own person, as in 9. 446, though
the feeling here is more national than
personal. Aeneia nutrix like Aeneia
puppis 10. 156, Aeneia hospitia ib.
494, Tithonia coniunx 8. 384. So the
Homeric bi/h *(hraklhei/h.

A new part of my subject

The Tyrrhene force is naturally
enumerated among the subjects of this
part of the poem, as the strife between
Mezentius and his subjects had an important
influence on the struggle. Tyrrhenamque
manum is not to be taken with
coactam, any more than acies v. 42 with
actos. Totam Hesperiam is of course
not strictly true, but it probably refers to
Tyrrhenam manum and expresses that
the war involved other states besides
Latium. Sub arma coactam, called
out together to war. Sub arma = sub
armis, the regular phrase for in arms
(5. 440 &c.), with an additional notion of
motion.

Latinus, king of Latium,
had a daughter, Lavinia, whose hand was
sought by Turnus, a Rutulian prince: but
various portents indicated that she was
destined to have a foreign husband, and
at last her father received a distinct oracular
intimation to that effect.

In 8. 314 the Fauns and Nymphs
are the indigenous race that inhabited
Italy when Saturn came down to civilize
it. Laurens is properly the name of
that territory and tribe whose capital was
Laurentum: but Virg. uses it as a synonym
of Latinus. Thus Turnus the
Rutulian is called Laurens below v. 650.
Latium in its latest and widest signification
would include Minturnae on the
Liris.

Fidi includes fidelity to Aeneas
and his race (3. 156) as well as the truth
of their prediction that he should find a
settlement in Latium (ib. 163). With the
latter we may comp. Romeo's O true
apothecary!

Hoc Latio restare = hoc Latium
manere. Such is the destiny of
Latium. See 10. 29. Latinus partially
repeats the words of the oracle, vv.
97—99. Canunt, sortes et monstra.
Canunt is strictly applicable only to the
former, but it is used in the general sense
of predicting. The coming of Aeneas had
been predicted by portents as well as by
the oracle, v. 68.

entrance into the territory. Esto 4.

Polluta pace seems to refer to
the breach of the peace by Turnus, not, as
some have thought, to the breach of covenant
charged by Turnus on Latinus.
Turnus in fact invades Latium with an
army, intending to make war on Latins
and Trojans both (v. 470), though, as it
happens, he finds the Latins willing to
join him. Polluta: see on 3. 61.
