They next entered the fields where roam the heroes who have fallen in battle. Here they saw many shades of Grecian and Trojan warriors59. The Trojans thronged60 around him, and could not be satisfied with the sight. They asked the cause of his coming, and plied29 him with innumerable questions. But the Greeks, at the sight of his armor glittering through the murky61 atmosphere, recognized the hero, and filled with terror turned their backs and fled, as they used to do on the plains of Troy.
?neas would have lingered long with his Trojan friends, but the Sibyl hurried him away. They next came to a place where the road divided, the one leading to Elysium, the other to the regions of the condemned62. ?neas beheld on one side the walls of a mighty63 city, around which Phlegethon rolled its fiery64 waters. Before him was the gate of adamant65 that neither gods nor men can break through. An iron tower stood by the gate, on which Tisiphone, the avenging Fury, kept guard. From the city were heard groans66, and the sound of the scourge67, the creaking of iron, and the clanking of chains. ?neas, horror-struck, inquired of his guide what crimes were those whose punishments produced the sounds he heard? The Sibyl answered, “Here is the judgment68 hall of Rhadamanthus, who brings to light crimes done in life, which the perpetrator vainly thought impenetrably hid. Tisiphone applies her whip of scorpions69, and delivers the offender70 over to her sister Furies.” At this moment with horrid71 clang the brazen72 gates unfolded, and ?neas saw within a Hydra22 with fifty heads guarding the entrance. The Sibyl told him that the gulf73 of Tartarus descended deep, so that its recesses74 were as far beneath their feet as heaven was high above their heads. In the bottom of this pit, the Titan race, who warred against the gods, lie prostrate75; Salmoneus, also, who presumed to vie with Jupiter, and built a bridge of brass76 over which he drove his chariot that the sound might resemble thunder, launching flaming brands at his people in imitation of lightning, till Jupiter struck him with a real thunderbolt, and taught him the difference between mortal weapons and divine. Here, also, is Tityus, the giant, whose form is so immense that as he lies he stretches over nine acres, while a vulture preys77 upon his liver, which as fast as it is devoured grows again, so that his punishment will have no end.
?neas saw groups seated at tables loaded with dainties, while near by stood a Fury who snatched away the viands78 from their lips as fast as they prepared to taste them. Others beheld suspended over their heads huge rocks, threatening to fall, keeping them in a state of constant alarm. These were they who had hated their brothers, or struck their parents, or defrauded79 the friends who trusted them, or who, having grown rich, kept their money to themselves, and gave no share to others; the last being the most numerous class. Here also were those who had violated the marriage vow80, or fought in a bad cause, or failed in fidelity81 to their employers. Here was one who had sold his country for gold, another who perverted82 the laws, making them say one thing to-day and another to-morrow.
Ixion was there, fastened to the circumference83 of a wheel ceaselessly revolving84; and Sisyphus, whose task was to roll a huge stone up to a hill-top, but when the steep was well-nigh gained, the rock, repulsed85 by some sudden force, rushed again headlong down to the plain. Again he toiled86 at it, while the sweat bathed all his weary limbs, but all to no effect. There was Tantalus, who stood in a pool, his chin level with the water, yet he was parched87 with thirst, and found nothing to assuage88 it; for when he bowed his hoary89 head, eager to quaff90, the water fled away, leaving the ground at his feet all dry. Tall trees laden91 with fruit stooped their heads to him, pears, pomegranates, apples, and luscious92 figs93; but when with a sudden grasp he tried to seize them winds whirled them high above his reach.
The Sibyl now warned ?neas that it was time to turn from these melancholy regions and seek the city of the blessed. They passed through a middle tract94 of darkness, and came upon the Elysian fields, the groves where the happy reside. They breathed a freer air, and saw all objects clothed in a purple light. The region has a sun and stars of its own. The inhabitants were enjoying themselves in various ways, some in sports on the grassy95 turf, in games of strength or skill, others dancing or singing. Orpheus struck the chords of his lyre, and called forth96 ravishing sounds. Here ?neas saw the founders97 of the Trojan state, magnanimous heroes who lived in happier times. He gazed with admiration98 on the war chariots and glittering arms now reposing99 in disuse. Spears stood fixed in the ground, and the horses, unharnessed, roamed over the plain. The same pride in splendid armor and generous steeds which the old heroes felt in life, accompanied them here. He saw another group feasting and listening to the strains of music. They were in a laurel grove49, whence the great river Po has its origin, and flows out among men. Here dwelt those who fell by wounds received in their country’s cause, holy priests also, and poets who have uttered thoughts worthy100 of Apollo, and others who have contributed to cheer and adorn101 life by their discoveries in the useful arts, and have made their memory blessed by rendering102 service to mankind. They wore snow-white fillets about their brows. The Sibyl addressed a group of these, and inquired where Anchises was to be found. They were directed where to seek him, and soon found him in a verdant103 valley, where he was contemplating104 the ranks of his posterity105, their destinies and worthy deeds to be achieved in coming times. When he recognized ?neas approaching, he stretched out both hands to him, while tears flowed freely. “Have you come at last,” said he, “long expected, and do I behold106 you after such perils107 past? O my son, how have I trembled for you as I have watched your career!” To which ?neas replied, “O father! your image was always before me to guide and guard me.” Then he endeavored to enfold his father in his embrace, but his arms enclosed only an unsubstantial image.
?neas perceived before him a spacious108 valley, with trees gently waving to the wind, a tranquil109 landscape, through which the river Lethe flowed. Along the banks of the stream wandered a countless110 multitude, numerous as insects in the summer air. ?neas, with surprise, inquired who were these. Anchises answered, “They are souls to which bodies are to be given in due time. Meanwhile they dwell on Lethe’s bank, and drink oblivion of their former lives.” “O father!” said ?neas, “is it possible that any can be so in love with life as to wish to leave these tranquil seats for the upper world?” Anchises replied by explaining the plan of creation. The Creator, he told him, originally made the material of which souls are composed of the four elements, fire, air, earth, and water, all which when united took the form of the most excellent part, fire, and became flame. This material was scattered111 like seed among the heavenly bodies, the sun, moon, and stars. Of this seed the inferior gods created man and all other animals, mingling112 it with various proportions of earth, by which its purity was alloyed and reduced. Thus, the more earth predominates in the composition the less pure is the individual; and we see men and women with their full-grown bodies have not the purity of childhood. So in proportion to the time which the union of body and soul has lasted is the impurity113 contracted by the spiritual part. This impurity must be purged114 away after death, which is done by ventilating the souls in the current of winds, or merging115 them in water, or burning out their impurities116 by fire. Some few, of whom Anchises intimates that he is one, are admitted at once to Elysium, there to remain. But the rest, after the impurities of earth are purged away, are sent back to life endowed with new bodies, having had the remembrance of their former lives effectually washed away by the waters of Lethe. Some, however, there still are, so thoroughly117 corrupted118, that they are not fit to be intrusted with human bodies, and these are made into brute119 animals, lions, tigers, cats, dogs, monkeys, etc. This is what the ancients called Metempsychosis, or the transmigration of souls; a doctrine2 which is still held by the natives of India, who scruple120 to destroy the life even of the most insignificant121 animal, not knowing but it may be one of their relations in an altered form.
Anchises, having explained so much, proceeded to point out to ?neas individuals of his race, who were hereafter to be born, and to relate to him the exploits they should perform in the world. After this he reverted122 to the present, and told his son of the events that remained to him to be accomplished123 before the complete establishment of himself and his followers124 in Italy. Wars were to be waged, battles fought, a bride to be won, and in the result a Trojan state founded, from which should rise the Roman power, to be in time the sovereign of the world.
?neas and the Sibyl then took leave of Anchises, and returned by some short cut, which the poet does not explain, to the upper world.
ELYSIUM
Virgil, we have seen, places his Elysium under the earth, and assigns it for a residence to the spirits of the blessed. But in Homer Elysium forms no part of the realms of the dead. He places it on the west of the earth, near Ocean, and describes it as a happy land, where there is neither snow, nor cold, nor rain, and always fanned by the delightful126 breezes of Zephyrus. Hither favored heroes pass without dying and live happy under the rule of Rhadamanthus. The Elysium of Hesiod and Pindar is in the Isles127 of the Blessed, or Fortunate Islands, in the Western Ocean. From these sprang the legend of the happy island Atlantis. This blissful region may have been wholly imaginary, but possibly may have sprung from the reports of some storm-driven mariners129 who had caught a glimpse of the coast of America.
J. R. Lowell, in one of his shorter poems, claims for the present age some of the privileges of that happy realm. Addressing the Past, he says:
“Whatever of true life there was in thee,
Leaps in our age’s veins130.
. . . . . . .
Here, ’mid the bleak131 waves of our strife132 and care,
Float the green ‘Fortunate Isles,’
Where all thy hero-spirits dwell and share
Our martyrdoms and toils133.
The present moves attended
With all of brave and excellent and fair
That made the old time splendid.”
Milton also alludes134 to the same fable135 in “Paradise Lost,” Book III., 1. 568:
“Like those Hesperian gardens famed of old,
Fortunate fields and groves and flowery vales,
Thrice happy isles.”
And in Book II. he characterizes the rivers of Erebus according to the meaning of their names in the Greek language:
“Abhorred Styx, the flood of deadly hate,
Sad Acheron of sorrow black and deep;
Cocytus named of lamentation136 loud
Heard on the rueful stream; fierce Phlegethon
Whose waves of torrent137 fire inflame138 with rage.
Far off from these a slow and silent stream,
Lethe, the river of oblivion, rolls
Her watery139 labyrinth140, whereof who drinks
Forthwith his former state and being forgets,
Forgets both joy and grief, pleasure and pain.”
THE SIBYL
As ?neas and the Sibyl pursued their way back to earth, he said to her, “Whether thou be a goddess or a mortal beloved of the gods, by me thou shalt always be held in reverence141. When I reach the upper air I will cause a temple to be built to thy honor, and will myself bring offerings.” “I am no goddess,” said the Sibyl; “I have no claim to sacrifice or offering. I am mortal; yet if I could have accepted the love of Apollo I might have been immortal142. He promised me the fulfilment of my wish, if I would consent to be his. I took a handful of sand, and holding it forth, said, ‘Grant me to see as many birthdays as there are sand grains in my hand.’ Unluckily I forgot to ask for enduring youth. This also he would have granted, could I have accepted his love, but offended at my refusal, he allowed me to grow old. My youth and youthful strength fled long ago. I have lived seven hundred years, and to equal the number of the sand grains I have still to see three hundred springs and three hundred harvests. My body shrinks up as years increase, and in time, I shall be lost to sight, but my voice will remain, and future ages will respect my sayings.”
These concluding words of the Sibyl alluded143 to her prophetic power. In her cave she was accustomed to inscribe144 on leaves gathered from the trees the names and fates of individuals. The leaves thus inscribed145 were arranged in order within the cave, and might be consulted by her votaries146. But if perchance at the opening of the door the wind rushed in and dispersed147 the leaves the Sibyl gave no aid to restoring them again, and the oracle148 was irreparably lost.
The following legend of the Sibyl is fixed at a later date. In the reign125 of one of the Tarquins there appeared before the king a woman who offered him nine books for sale. The king refused to purchase them, whereupon the woman went away and burned three of the books, and returning offered the remaining books for the same price she had asked for the nine. The king again rejected them; but when the woman, after burning three books more, returned and asked for the three remaining the same price which she had before asked for the nine, his curiosity was excited, and he purchased the books. They were found to contain the destinies of the Roman state. They were kept in the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, preserved in a stone chest, and allowed to be inspected only by especial officers appointed for that duty, who, on great occasions, consulted them and interpreted their oracles149 to the people.
There were various Sibyls; but the Cum?an Sibyl, of whom Ovid and Virgil write, is the most celebrated150 of them. Ovid’s story of her life protracted151 to one thousand years may be intended to represent the various Sibyls as being only reappearances of one and the same individual.
Young, in the “Night Thoughts,” alludes to the Sibyl. Speaking of Worldly Wisdom, he says:
“If future fate she plans ’tis all in leaves,
Like Sibyl, unsubstantial, fleeting152 bliss128;
At the first blast it vanishes in air.
. . . . . . .
As worldly schemes resemble Sibyl’s leaves,
The good man’s days to Sibyl’s books compare,
The price still rising as in number less.”
