But then Aeneas' pain, unmerited,
distresses Venus; with a mother's care
she plucks – from Cretan Ida – dittany,
a stalk with leaves luxuriant and shaggy
and purple flowers, a plant not unfamiliar
to wild goats when they are wounded by winged arrows.
This, Venus, with black mist to hide her face,
now carries down; with this she medicates
in secret, waters poured in gleaming vats;
she steeps the plant and sprinkles healing juices
of scented panacea and ambrosia.
And old Iapyx, unaware of this,
then bathes Aeneas' wound with that same liquid.
And suddenly all pain fled from his body,
and all the blood held fast in that deep wound;
and following Iapyx' hand, the arrow,
unforced, fell out; fresh strength returned to him.
– Venus magically heals Aeneas, from Book XII of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
