PRECIS
The city of Troy having been captured by the Greeks, the conquerors, after the first excitement of plunder, had abated, began to feel pity for the misfortunes of the vanquished, and caused a proclamation to be made, that every free-born citizen should be permitted to take away with him any one thing which he valued more highly than all also which belonged to him. Upon this Aeneas surrendered everything else to have possession of his household gods. This conduct, however. excited in the Greeks so high an admiration of his piety that they gave him further leave to take away what he valued most highly of all the things that remained. Immediately Aeneas took upon his shoulders and carried out of the burning town his aged father, who was so infirm as to be unable to escape without assistance. This evidence of filial affection raised still more highly the admiration of the victors and they allowed him to take everything which he possessed. They declared that it would be unnatural for them to be enemies of men who gave such proof of piety to the gods and dutiful affection to their parents.
