124-184

124 Meanwhile Neptune senses that the sea is stirred up with a great roar and a winter storm has been sent out and still waters are poured out from the deepest depths, and looking out over the deep he lifted his peaceful head out of the top of a wave.

128 He sees the fleet of Aeneas scattered over the whole ocean, the Trojans oppressed by waves and the downfall of the heavens.

130 Nor did the tricks and the angers of Juno evade [her] brother.

131 He calls Eurus and Zephyr to him, then he speaks such things: Does the so great faith of your family hold you? Now winds, you dare to stir up the sky and land without my consent (nod) and to raise up such burdens?

135 I...you! But it is better to compose the stirred waves. After(wards) you atone to me for the crimes with no similar punishment.

137 Speed [your] flight and say this to your king: The rule over the sea and the savage trident was given not to that [guy] but by destiny to me. He holds the immense rocks Eurus, your homes; Let Aeolus vaunt himself in that palace and rule in that closed prison of the winds.

142 He speaks thus and more quickly than it having been said, he calmed the swollen sea. He puts to flight the collected clouds and brings back the sun.

144 At the same time Cymothoe and Triton dislodge the ships leaning against a sharp rock. Himself (Neptune) raises [them] with the trident and he opens the vast sand bars and tempers the ocean and he also glides over the highest waves with light wheels.

148 And just as when sedition had arisen in a great people and the ignoble crowd rages in their minds (hearts), And now rocks and torches fly, rage supplies weapons.

151 Then they behold if by chance some man grave with piety and in merit, they are silent and stand with raised ears. He rules minds with words and calms chests (hearts).

154 Thus the whole crash of the sea subsides, afterwards the father looking out over the seas and having been carried in the open sky, he turns the horses and flying he gives reins to the favorable chariot.

157 The exhausted followers of Aeneas hurried to head for the nearest beaches with speed, and they are turned toward the shores of Libya

159 There is a place in a deep inlet: an island forms a port with a barrier of sides, by which every [wave] from the deep is broken and in the curved back bays the wave cuts itself.

162 On this side and on this (that) side vast rocks and twin reefs tower (threaten) into the sky, beneath the top of which, the safe seas are silent; then above, the scene with quivering forests and a grove overhangs with shuddering black[ness].

166 Beneath the face opposite the hanging reefs [there is] a cave, sweet waters within, and seats in the natural rock, homes of nymphs. Here not any chains held the exhausted ships, no anchor holds with curved bite.

170 Here Aeneas goes under with seven ships collected from the whole number; and with a great love of land the Trojans win the desired sands and they place limbs soaked with salt on the shore.

174 And Achates strikes out a first spark from flint (Dative of separation) and he receives fire from the leaves and he gives dry fuel(s) around [the fire] and he snatches up a flame in tinder.

177 Then tired of things they bring out spoiled Ceres (grain) and the tools of Ceres (bread making) and recovered fruits and the prepare to roast [bread] and to break (crush) [grain] with a rock.

180 Meanwhile Aeneas climbs the reef and seeks a view if he might see (what of) Antheus thrown by the wind and the Phrygian galleys or Capys or the arms of Caicus in the towering sterns.

184 He sees no ship in view, three deer wandering on the shore. Whole herds follow these from the back, and a long line grazes through the valley.

102 - 123

102 For him uttering such things a raoring gust from the North wind strikes the sail head on, and lifts waves to the stars. The oars are shattered, then the prow gives its side to the waves, a towering mountain of water follows in a pile. They hang on the top of a wave, a splitting wave discloses to them land among the waves, the tide rages with the sands. The South wind (Notus) twists three (ships) onto lurking rocks (The Italians call the rocks which are in the middle of the waves, "The Altars," a huge spine at the surface of the sea), the East wind (Eurus) drove the three from the deep into the shallows and onto a reef, piteous to behold (Pharr), and dashed [them] into the shoals and surrounded them in a mound of sand. One [ship], which was carrying faithful Orontes and the Lycians, a huge sea struck into the stern from high above before his (himself's) very eyes: and the captain is struck headlong and rolls onto his head; but a wave twists her (the ship) thrice in the same place driving [it] around and a swift whirlpool devours [it] from the sea. Scattered swimmers appear in a vast abyss, weapons of men, and planks and the treasures of Troy through the waves. The winter storm conquers now the strong ship of Illioneus, now brave Achates and [the one] by which Abas was carried, and by which old Aletes [was carried]; All take on unfriendly water with the sides opened and fissures open.

88-101

88 Suddenly clouds snatch away the heavens and the day from the eyes of the Trojans; black night lays upon the sea. The skies thundered and the high air flashes with frequent fires (lightning) and all things threaten present death [to] the men. Immediately the limbs of Aeneas were loosened with cold [fear]; he groans and stretching both hands to the stars he says such things with a voice: "O thrice and four times blessed [is] who[ever] it befalls to encounter (death) before the faces of their fathers below the high walls of Troy! O Diomedes, bravest of the race of Danaeans! Could I not have been able to fall at the Trojan fields and to pour out this spirit by your right hand, where fierce Hector lay by the weapon of Achilles, where huge Sarpedon [lies], where the Simois rolls so many shields and helmets and strong bodies of men snatched under its waves."

76-87

76 Aeolus [said] these things in reply: "O Queen, it is your work to explore what you desire; it is right for me to perform commands. You give to me whatever of a kingdom this is, you win over the scepter(s) and Jove, you allow [me] to recline at the feasts of the gods, and you make [me] powerful of clouds and storms."

81 When these things were said, he struck the hollow mountain in the side with a turned spear: and the winds, as with a battle line having been formed where a door was given, they rush and blow over land with a storm. They lay upon the seas and they rushed the whole [sea] from the deepest places together the East wind (Eurus) and the South wind (Notus) and the Southwest wind (Africus) and crowded with gusts and they roll vast waves to the shores. Both the clamor of men and the creaking or ropes follow.

Lines 1-75

1           I sing of arms and a man, who first from the boundaries of Troy, exiled by fate, came to Italy and the Lavinian shores – he was tossed much both on land and on sea, by the power of the gods, on account of the mindful anger of savage Juno, he having suffered many (things) and also from war, until he could found a city, and was bringing in the gods to Latium, from whence [came] the race of Latins, and Alban fathers, and of the high city walls of Rome.

8            Muse, recall the causes to me, by what damaged nod, or grieving what, the queen of the gods compelled  a man marked by piety to undergo so many misfortunes, to come to so many labors. Can there be such great anger in the minds of the gods?

12            There was an ancient city, ((which) Tyrian colonists held) Carthage, long opposite Italy and the mouths of the Tiber, rich in resources and most fierce in the pursuits of war; Juno is said to have cherished this one city more than all lands with Samus having been esteemed less; here were her arms, here was her chariot; if in any way the fates would allow it, the goddess both hoped and cherished this (city) to be a seat of power for the nations. But indeed she had heard that the offspring derived from Trojan blood, which, one day, would overturn the Tyrian castles. From whence was going to come a nation, ruling far and wide and proud in war for the destruction of Libya: Thus the Fates unfolded. Saturn’s daughter, fearing this and remembering the Old War, which she foremost had waged for her dear Greeks (nor yet even then had the causes of anger and cruel pain perished from her mind; Judgment of Paris remains repositive in her deep mind and the injury to her rejected beauty, and the hated race, and the honors of the seduced Ganymede – Further inflamed by these (things), she was keeping a long way from Latium the Trojans having been thrown on the whole ocean, the leavings of the Greeks and of fierce Achilles, and they were wandering through [or for] many years, having been driven by the Fates around all the oceans. So great was the burden to found the Roman nation.

34          Scarcely out of sight of the land of Sicily, the happy (Trojans) were giving sails to the deep, they were rushing the froth of salt with bronze, when Juno, holding the eternal would deep in her heart, (said) “Must I, defeated, desist from my undertaking and not be able to turn aside the King of Troy from Italy? Truly I am forbidden by the Fates. Surely Pallas was able to burn up the Argive fleet and submerge (themselves) under the sea on account of the crime of one [Ajax] and the madness of Ajax (son of) Oilius? She herself, having thrown the rapid fire of Jove [Jupiter] from the clouds, she both scattered the ships, and she overturned the oceans with winds, with winds she snatched him, spewing fire from his transfixed chest, and impaled him on a sharp rock; But I, queen of the gods who strides and (is) both Jove’s sister and wife, waged war for many [ten] years with one nation [the Trojans]. **The Pharr** Can anyone longer respect me, if I show myself such a weakling? **Literal** And whoever would worship the power of Juno, or who would place honor on the [my] altars as a suppliant?

50           The goddess, pondering these things with herself, with her heart inflamed, came to the fatherland of storms, a place teeming with raging South (winds), came to Aeolus. Here King Aeolus, in a vast cave, controlled the struggling winds and howling storms and restrained them both with chains and in prison. They, angry, roar with a great shout around the enclosures of the mountain; Aeolus sits in his lofty fortress, holding his scepter(s), and tames the minds (of the winds) and tempers the angers; lest he should, the swift (winds) indeed would carry off the seas and the lands and the skies and would sweep them through the air(s). But, fearing this, the all-powerful father [Jupiter] hid (these winds) in black caverns and piled upon them a mass and moreover high mountains and he gave a king who would know (how to control with a sure condition and having been ordered to give loose reins. To him then Juno as a suppliant used these words:

65            “Aeolus, truly the father of the gods and king of man has granted to you to soothe the waves and to raise (them) with wind, a race hateful to me sails the Tyrrian Sea, carrying Troy and the conquered Penantes [house-hold gods] into Italy and strike force with winds and overwhelm the sunken ships, or drive the scattered (Trojans) and scatter their corpses in the sea. There are for me fourteen nymphs of surpassing body, Deiopea, which of whom the most beautiful in form, I will join in stable marriage, and I will proclaim her your own so that, for such favors, she might pass all the years with you and make you a parent with beautiful offspring.”
