They sacrificed seven bullocks and seven sheep and entered the cave of the Sibyl where Aeneas prayed that the gods pity the Trojans after all their sufferings, give them what was owed them by fate and allow them to settle in Latium.Īeneas would then build Apollo a temple of solid gold and establish his oracle and priests dedicated to his service. On the temple doors was depicted the story of Minos, Pasiphae, the Minotaur, the labyrinth Daedalus had built, Theseus and Ariadne and the death of Icarus. Aeneas headed straight for the temple of Apollo which Daedalus was said to have built, dedicating there the wings which had carried him through the air.
