In the seventh book, the hero reaches the destined land of Latium, and concludes a treaty with the king of the country, which is soon broken by the interference of Juno, who stimulates Turnus to war. The auxiliaries of the enemy are enumerated; and in the eighth book, Æneas is assisted by Evander, and receives from Venus a shield wrought by Vulcan, on which are represented the future glory and triumphs of the Roman nation. The reader is pleased, in the ninth book, with the account of battles between the rival armies, and the immortal friendship of Nisus and Euryalus. Jupiter, in the tenth, attempts a reconciliation between Venus and Juno, who patronized the opposite parties; the fight is renewed, Pallas killed, and Turnus saved from the avenging hand of Æneas, by the interposition of Juno. The eleventh book gives an account of the funeral of Pallas, and of the meditated reconciliation between Æneas and Latinus, which the sudden appearance of the enemy defeats. Camilla is slain, and the combatants separated by the night. In the last book, Juno prevents the single combat agreed upon by Turnus and Æneas. The Trojans are defeated in the absence of their king; but on the return of Æneas, the battle assumes a different turn, a single combat is fought by the rival leaders, and the poem is concluded by the death of king Turnus. _Pliny_, bk. 7, ch. 30, &c. =Ænesidēmus=, a brave general of Argos. _Livy_, bk. 32, ch. 25.――――A Cretan philosopher, who wrote eight books on the doctrine of his master Pyrrho. _Diogenes Laërtius_, _Pyrrhonists_. =Ænēsius=, a surname of Jupiter from mount Ænum. =Ænētus=, a victor at Olympia, who, in the moment of victory, died through excess of joy. _Pausanias_, bk. 3, ch. 18. =Ænia.= _See:_ Æneia. =Ænicus=, a comic writer at Athens. =Æniŏchi=, a people of Asiatic Sarmatia. _Lucan_, bk. 2, li. 591. =Ænobarbus=, or =Ahenobarbus=, the surname of Domitius.
