"He wastes no words, no time on useless questions –
but drawing heavy sighs from deep within,
'Ah, goddess-born, take flight,' he cries, 'and snatch
yourself out of these flames. The enemy
has gained the walls; Troy falls from her high peak.
Our home, our Priam – these have had their due:
could Pergamus be saved by any prowess,
then my hand would have served. But Troy entrusts
her holy things and household gods to you;
take them away as comrades of your fortunes,
seek out for them the great walls that at last,
once you have crossed the sea, you will establish.'
So Hector speaks: then from the inner altars
he carries out the garlands and great Vesta
and, in his hands, the fire that never dies."
– Aeneas is addressed by Hector's shade, from Book II of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
