"And now that I am left alone, I see
the daughter of Tyndareos clinging
to Vesta's thresholds, crouching silently
within a secret corner of the shrine;
bright conflagrations give me light as I
wander and let my eyes read everything.
For she, in terror of the Trojans – set
against her for the fall of Pergamus –
and of the Danaan's vengeance and the anger
of her abandoned husband; she, the common
Fury of Troy and of her homeland, she
had hid herself; she crouched, a hated thing,
beside the altars."
– Aeneas discovers Helen in hiding, from Book II of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
