In one poem, this character asks another character to "Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry, / Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie."
In one poem, this character asks another character to "Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry, / Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie." In one epic, this figure provides the protagonists an island on which Tethys foretells of future conquests and acts near Melinde to calm a storm. This figure responds to Vasco da Gama's prayers in Canto IV of that epic, The Lusiads. In another work, she carries an assassinated leader's soul to heaven, upon which it turns into a comet; that leader is Julius Caesar in Ovid's Metamorphoses. In another epic, she appears before her son as a huntress, telling him to seek out a woman who fled Tyre and founded Carthage, named Dido. For 10 points, name this mother of Aeneas, a Roman goddess who inspires much love poetry.
