But even then the savage wife of Jove
was well embarked upon the air, returning
from Argos, city of Inachus; even
from Sicily's Pachynus, far away, 
across the sky she spied the glad Aeneas
and all his Dardan fleet. She sees them building 
their houses, settling on the land, deserting
their ships. Her grief is sharp; she cannot move.

– Juno abominates the sight of Aeneas in Italy, from Book VII of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
