AeneasStorm.
When Aeneas was sailing away from Sicily, Juno—who had never forgiven Paris for his judgment against her and who remained Troy’s enemy—commanded Aeolus to raise a dreadful storm, promising the nymph Deiopea to the wind god as a reward. The storm threatened to destroy all of Aeneas’s fleet, but Neptune confronted Aeolus and calmed the waves with the command “Quos ego!” (“I am he who commands the waves”). But now blown off course, the Trojans were forced to land on the coast of Libya in northern Africa.
The storm and Neptune’s intervention have been very popular subjects in the fine arts.
