When _Æneas_ was outed at _Troy_, and in quest of a new Country, he came to an Anchor at _Delos_; _Anius_ meets him in a Religious Habit, receives him civilly, and obliges him with his _Oracle_.[240] In the Book now Mention'd we have another of _Apollo's_ Priests, his name is _Helenus_, Son of _Priam_ and King of _Chaonia_. He entertains _Æneas_ with a great deal of Friendship, and Magnificence, gives him many material Directions, and makes him a rich Present at parting. To this Prince if you Please we may joyn a Princess of the same Profession; and that is _Rhea Silvia_ Daughter to _Numitor_ King of _Alba_, and Mother to _Romulus_, and _Remus_. This Lady _Virgil_ calls----_regina Sacerdos_ a Royal Priestess.[241] Farther. When _Æneas_ made a Visit upon Business to the _shades Below_, He had for his Guide, the famous _Sibylla Cumæa_, who Belong'd to _Apollo_.[242] When he came thither amongst the rest of his Acquantance he saw _Polybætes_ a Priest of _Ceres_. This _Polybætes_ is mention'd with the three Sons of _Antenor_, with _Glaucus_, and _Thersilochus_, who Commanded in Cheif in the _Trojan Auxiliaries_: So that you may know his Quality by his Company. When _Æneas_ had passed on farther, he saw _Orpheus_ in _Elysium_: The Poet calls him the _Thracian_ Priest. There needs not be much said of _Orpheus_; He is famous for his skill in Musick, Poetry, and Religious Ceremonies,[243] He was one of the Hero's of Antiquity, and a principal Adventurer in the Expedition for the _Golden-Fleece_. In the Seventh _Æneid_ the Poet gives in a List of the Princes, and General Officers who came into the Assistance of _Turnus_; Amongst the rest he tells you, _Quin & Marrubia venit de gente Sacerdos, Archippi regis missu fortissimus Umbro._ This _Priest_ he commends both for his Courage and his skill in Physick, Natural Magick, and Phlosophy. He understood the Virtue of _Plants_, and could lay Passions and Poysons asleep. His death was extreamly regretted by his Country, who made a Pompous and Solemn Mourning for him. _Te nemus Angitiæ, vitrea te Fucinus unda, Te liquidi flevere lacus._[244] The _Potitij_, and the _Pinarij_ Mention'd _Æneid 8._[245] were as _Livy_ observes, chosen out of the first Quality of the Country, and had the _Priesthood_ hereditary to their Family. To go on, _Æmonides_, and _Chloreus_ make a glittering Figure in the _Feild_, and are very remarkable for the Curiosity of their Armour, and Habit. _Æmonides_'s _Finery_ is passed over in general. _Totus collucens veste atque insignibus armis._[246] But the Equipage of _Chloreus_ is flourish'd out at Length, and as I remember admired by _Macrobius_ as one of the Master peices of _Virgil_ in Description. In short; He is all Gold, Purple, Scarlet, and Embroydery;[247] and as rich as Nature, Art, and Rhetorick can make him. To these I might add _Rhamnes_, _Asylas_, and _Tolumnius_, who were all Persons of Condition, and had Considerable Posts in the Army.[248]
