FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Celaeno even called Italy the New Troy. Helenus, the son of king Priam was living at Actium. I might be wrong, but best as I could get. Weird phrases though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 It looks like something from Virgil's Aeneid but I'm not that intimately familiar with it. And stop shouting at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) "Helenus was an augur and Vestra said this land is Ausonia. But you must sail first around Sicilia and then procede to Cumae. On this land you will have found a swine and thirty white piglets." Whoever is emailing you is a huge loser...note Ausonia is just another old latin term for Italy.

Q Valerius Scerio Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's not Vergil - Vergil was a poet. And he didn't make it up, either. It's from somewhere, probably a textbook, perhaps. A google search has it showing up in translation pages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, it sounds like someone is using creative ways to have their assignments done for them. I believe I've taken care of it for the future.
