The "Aeneid". Narration of the epic journey of the Trojan hero Aeneas.
In the dark night, Aeneas knelt before the campfire when suddenly the Temple of Fortuna appeared from the shadows. The goddess of fortune, in a shimmering robe, stepped forward.
"Brave Aeneas," said Fortuna in a voice that rustled like the wind through the trees, "your path is marked by ups and downs. The wheel of fate lies in my hands, and your destiny is well known to me."
Aeneas, awestruck, asked, "Why do you test us like this?"
Fortuna smiled, "In the challenges you will find the strength you need. I am the keeper of the rewards."
With these words, Fortuna disappeared back into the shadows, and Aeneas stood there strengthened, ready to master his fate.
