85/122 The _Ausones_ were early inhabitants of Campania. _Latinus_ was king of the Latins, a small tribe whose chief town was Laurentum. _Faunus_ a god of the fields and cattle-keepers, was afterwards identified with the Greek Pan. We are told by Ovid that he was changed into a woodpecker (_picus_) by Circe, whose love he had slighted. |
