"Aeneas, goddess-born – since you must surely
have crossed the seas beneath high auspices –
so does the king of gods allot the fates,
revolving every happening, this is
the circling order; few things out of many
I shall unfold in words, that you may find
the waters friendly and the crossing tranquil
and reach the harbor of Ausonia.
The Fates will not let Helenus know more;
Saturnian Juno will not let me speak.
But first, the Italy you now think close –
preparing, in your ignorance, to rush
into its nearby harbors – is far off . . . "
– the Trojan seer Helenus advises Aeneas, from Book III of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
