I penetrated into the myrtle wood in which the victims of love wander languishing, Phaedra, Procris, the sad Eriphyle, Evadne, Pasiphae, Laodamia, and Cenis, and the Phoenician Dido.

Then I went through the dusty plains reserved for famous warriors.

Beyond them open two ways.

That to the left leads to Tartarus, the abode of the wicked.

I took that to the right, which leads to Elysium and to the dwellings of Dis.
