They try to cut down a tree which starts spurting blood because it grew from spears used to murder Polydorus (Trojan king Priam’s son). • They have a funeral for Polydorus. • They sail to Delos. An oracle tells them to go to the Trojan’s original home. Anchises (Aeneas’s father) thinks this means Crete.

Queen of the Harpies curses them, but it does not affect them because they pray.

Helenus prophecies: keep away from Scylla and Charybdis, keep praying to Juno, consult Sibyl, a priestess and oracle, in Cumae, and when you see a giant white pig with 30 white piglets you know you’re there.
