[687] Anchises was supposed to have received the gift of divination from Venus, according to Enn. A. 1, fr. 17, “Doctusque Anchisa, Venus quem pulcherrima dium Fata docet fari, divinum ut pectus haberet” (as corrected by Fleckeisen and Bernays). So Naevius Bell. P. 1, fr. 2, “Postquam aves aspexit in templo Anchisa.” He exercises it again 3. 539.
