When it was said that the dead had gone to Hades, all that was literally meant was that they had gone to the unseen place. […] Heracles had long meditated vengeance on Eurytus, who had refused to give him his daughter, Iole, after he had won her by shooting with the bow. […] All these animals had once been men, but had been changed by Circe’s enchantments into the forms of beasts. […] When Dido found that the Trojans had really departed, she ascended a funeral pyre which she had previously had constructed, and slew herself with the sword Æneas had left behind him. […] Each month and day had its own god.
