Meanwhile Aurora rose; she left the Ocean.
Aeneas – anxious though he is to give
his comrades rapid burial, and though
his comrades rapid burial, and though
his mind is much distressed by Pallas' death –
first pays the gods a victor's vows beneath
the morning star. He hacks the branches off
a massive oak, around all sides, then plants it
upon a mound of earth; this tree he dresses
in glittering arms, the spoils of chief Mezentius –
a trophy meant for you, great God of War.
To this Aeneas fastens helmet crests
dripping with blood, the warrior's shattered shafts,
the breastplate smashed and pierced through twice-six times;
upon the left he ties the shield of brass
and hangs the ivory scabbard from the neck.
– Aeneas performs a barbarous ritual, from Book XI of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
