Now day had left the sky; and gracious Phoebe,
in her night-wandering chariot, was trampling
through mid-Olympus. At the helm Aeneas
himself both steers and tends the sails; his cares
have stripped his limbs of calm and rest. Then – look! –
across the middle of the seaway came
a band of his own squadron; for the nymphs,
whom Cybele had made sea goddesses
when she changed them from ships to nymphs, swam on
together, cutting through the waves, as many
as once were brazen prows along the coast.
They recognize Aeneas from far off
and, dancing, circle him: Cymodoce,
most skilled at speaking, follows in his wake
and grips the stern with her right hand, lifting
her back above the surface; with her left
she rows across the soundless waves below.
And then she turns to the astonished king –
– news of Trojan perils divinely brought to Aeneas, from Book X of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
