Hyginus Fabulae, 94 "Anchises".

     Venus is said to have loved Anchises, son of Assaracus, and to have had sexual relations with him. From this she conceived Aeneas and commanded him that he should never reveal the fact among mortals. But Anchises revealed it to his comrades once when he was drunk. And for this reason Jupiter struck him with a thunderbolt. Some say that he died by his own hand.



Hyginus Fabulae, 94 "Anchisa".     Venus Anchisam Assaraci filium amasse et cum eo concubuisse dicitur, ex quo procreauit Aeneam eique praecepit ne id apud homines enuntiaret. quod Anchises inter sodales per uinum est elocutus. ob id a Ioue fulmine est ictus. quidam dicunt eum sua morte obisse.
