Achates Aeneas Silvius Aeneid Anchises Ascanius Creüsa Dido Enea Silvio Piccolomini fidus Achates ilia oracle Pius II Purcell Roman mythology sibyl Turnus Virgil Virgilian | This is how he tells of the way in which Aeneas saved his old father by carrying him on his shoulders out of the burning town of Troy when "The crackling flame was heard throughout the walls, and more and more the burning heat drew near. At first, no result at all crowned my efforts, though I 'divided my swift mind,' now hither, now thither, in a way that I felt sure would have made AEneas green with envy: but the dimly-seen oval remained as provokingly blank as ever--a mere Ellipse, as if in some mathematical diagram, without even the Foci that might be made to do duty as a nose and a mouth.
