The council of Sibyl

I arrived at Sibyl’s cave and I prayed to Apollo, asking him to let the Trojans rest in Italy. To build our city and in it I would place him a marble temple; and a sacred shrine for Sibyl too. Sibyl prophesised that The Trojans would reach Lavinium’s realm but we will rue our arrival. War, horrendous wars. Again a stranger bride. Our path to safety will open firs from where we least expect it - a city built by the Greeks! 

I am aware of the magnitude of my tasks. No trial can loom before me in any surprising form. I asked about my journey to the underworld, where and how to get there. I must find the golden brough and expiate the death of one of you companions whose body pollutes the entire fleet.
We prepare funeral rites for Misenus, all his shipmates gathered around. 

 I was led then by doves to the golden brough. When I returned Misenus funeral rites were performed, his shipmates gathered around. I am anxious to enter the underoworld but excited to see my father once again.
