Tum regem Aeneas dictis adfatur amicis: optime Graiugenum, cui me Fortuna precari et vitta comptos voluit praetendere ramos, non equidem extimui Danaum quod ductor et Arcas quodque a stirpe fores geminis coniunctus Atridis; sed mea me virtus et sancta oracula divum cognatique patres, tua terris didita fama, coniunxere tibi et fatis egere volentem.
Then with friendly words Aeneas addresses the king: Noblest of the sons of Greece, to whom Fortune has willed that I make my prayer, and offer boughs decked with fillets, I was not afraid that you were a Danaan chief, an Arcadian and linked by blood with the twin sons of Atreus; but my own worth and Heavens holy oracles, our ancestral kinship, and your fame that has spread through the world, have bound me to you, and led me here as Fates willing follower.
