[533] Ferant seems to combine the notions of announcing and actually bringing. ‘Ego’ emphatic. Serv. speaks of two punctuations, after ‘poscor’ and after ‘Olympo,’ The former has been revived by Peerlkamp, Ladewig, and Haupt: but the rhythm is strongly against it. Aeneas might well say that he was called by Olympus, after the sign of the divine will just given. Comp. “sonitus Olympi” 6. 586. There is a general resemblance between Aeneas' position here with regard to Evander and Oedipus' relation to Theseus when the thunder comes announcing his end. Perhaps we may comp. with this passage Soph. O. C. 1654, where Theseus is described by the messenger after the death of oedipus as γῆν τε προσκυνοῦνθ᾽ ἅμα Καὶ τὸν θεῶν Ὄλυμπον ἐν ταὐτῶ λόγω.
