Book 3.388-402
Helenus continues. He speaks of the omen of a white sow with thirty suckling piglets. Here is Aeneas' city.
signa tibi dicam, tu condita mente teneto:
388
cum tibi sollicito secreti ad fluminis undam
389
litoreis ingens inventa sub ilicibus sus
390
triginta capitum fetus enixa iacebit.
391
alba, solo recubans, albi circum ubera nati,
392
is locus urbis erit, requies ea certa laborum.
393
Nec tu mensarum morsus horresce futuros:
394
fata viam invenient, aderitque vocatus Apollo.
395
Has autem terras, Italique hanc litoris oram,
396
proxuma quae nostri perfunditur aequoris aestu,
397
effuge; cuncta malis habitantur moenia Grais.
398
Hic et Narycii posuerunt moenia Locri,
399
et Sallentinos obsedit milite campos
400
Lyctius Idomeneus; hic illa ducis Meliboei
401
parva Philoctetae subnixa Petelia muro.
