NOTE.

    In “The Adventures of Æneas” the names of the gods are of the
    Latin form. As the story is taken from Virgil, this could not
    be avoided. The following table sets forth the correspondence
    of the Greek and Latin names:--

    GREEK.          LATIN.

    Zeus           Jupiter.
    Heré           Juno.
    Aphrodité      Venus.
    Ares           Mars.
    Hermes         Mercury.
    Poseidon       Neptune.
    Artemis        Diana.
