Don't you think they feem either to indicate a negligence in Virgil, or a want of deference for his mailer ? neither of whic^j I believe^ he has ever been accufed of. * 9 The Sicilian authors are by no means pleafed with Virgil for making ^neas the founder of this temple of Venus Erecina. They will only ^low that the colony which he was obliged to leave there, after the burning of his (hips, did, in honour of his* mother Venus, build the city of Eryx around he...r temple: but they all inftft upon it, that the tenfiple was built by Eryx, 'or as they call him Erice, another fon of Venus, but much older than ^neas ; the fame that was found to be fo equal a match for Hercules, but was at lad killed by him, at'a boxing match near the foot of this mountain. The fpot where jthis is fuppofed to have happened, ftill retains the name of (il lampo di lUrcoU) the field of Hercules.
