s; and the
Chaonian bays, where the sons of the Molossian king escaped the
unavailing flames, with wings attached {to them}.

[Footnote 57: _Antandros._--Ver. 628. This was a city of Phrygia,
at the foot of Mount Ida, where the fleet of AEneas was built.]

[Footnote 58: _Trees once grasped._--Ver. 635. These were a palm
and an olive tree, which were pointed out by the people of Delos,
as having been held by Latona, when in the pangs of labour.]

[Footnote 59: _Of slain oxen._--Ver. 637. This, however, was

here employed as the plural of a female name 'Corona;' in Greek
+Koronis+.]

[Footnote 63: _Of that place._--Ver. 707. AEneas and his followers

raged there, and a continued drought, combined with the density of
the atmosphere, obliged them to leave the island.]

[Footnote 64: _The Strophades._--Ver. 709. These were two islands
in the Ionian Sea, on the western side of Peloponnesus. They
received their name from the Greek work +strophe+, 'a return,'
because Calais and Zethes pursued the Harpies, which persecuted
Phineus so far, and then returned home by the command of Jupiter.]

[Footnote 65: _Same._--Ver. 711. This island was also called
Cephalenia. It was in the Ionian Sea, and formed part of the
kingdom of Ulysses.]

[Footnote 66: _Ambracia._--Ver. 714. This was a famous city of
Epirus, which gave its name to the gulf of Ambracia.]

[Footnote 67: _Actian Apollo._--Ver. 715. Augustus built a temple
to Apollo, at Actium, in Epirus, near which he had defeated the
fleet of Antony and Cleopatra. He also instituted games, to be
celebrated there every fifth year in honour of his victory.]
