"Incipit Legenda Didonis Martiris, Cartaginis Regine.
Glory and honour,
Virgil Mantuan,
Be to thy name! and I shal, as I can,
Folow thy lantern, as thou gost biforn,
How Eneas to Dido was forsworn".
Geoffrey Chaucer
THE LEGEND OF DIDO, QUEEN OF CARTHAGE (LGW, III - 1/4)
This noble queen that was named Dido,
That used to be the wife of Sychaeus,
That was fairer than the bright sun,
This noble town of Carthage had begun.
In which she reigned in such great honor
That she was held of all queens the flower
Of gentleness, of freedom, of beauty,
So that well was he who might see her once;
She was so desired by kings and lords
That her beauty had set all the world afire,
She stood so well in everyone's grace.
(modernized by James M. Hunter)

PUBLIUS VERGILIUS MARO
(born in 70 B.C.; murdered in 19

There
was a grove in the centre of the city, delightful
with shade, where the wave and storm-tossed Phoenicians
first uncovered the head of
a fierce horse, that regal Juno
showed them: so the race would be noted in war,
and rich in substance throughout the ages.
Here Sidonian
Dido was establishing a great temple
to Juno, rich with gifts and divine presence,
with bronze entrances rising from stairways, and beams
jointed with bronze, and hinges creaking on bronze doors.
V. (I, 441-449, Kline)
