Book 3.121-134
With the rumors swirling about Crete, the Trojans set sail. They land on Crete and Aeneas founds a new city, named Pergamum.
Fama volat pulsum regnis cessisse paternis
121
Idomenea ducem, desertaque litora Cretae
122
hoste vacare domos, sedesque adstare relictas.
123
Linquimus Ortygiae portus, pelagoque volamus,
124
bacchatamque iugis Naxon viridemque Donusam,
125
Olearon, niveamque Paron, sparsasque per aequor
126
Cycladas, et crebris legimus freta concita terris.
127
Nauticus exoritur vario certamine clamor;
128
hortantur socii: “Cretam proavosque petamus!”
129
Prosequitur surgens a puppi ventus euntis
130
et tandem antiquis Curetum adlabimur oris.
131
Ergo avidus muros optatae molior urbis,
132
Pergameamque voco, et laetam cognomine gentem
133
hortor amare focos arcemque attollere tectis.
