ed at Butrotus, on the coast of Epirus, where he made an astounding discovery: the land was ruled by \b \cf15 \ATXht10809 Helenus\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 , the son of \b \cf15 \ATXht11633 Priam\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 , who had inherited \b \cf15 \ATXht11639 Pyrrhus\b0 \cf7 '\b \b0 \ATXht0 scepter and wife. That wife was none other than \b \cf15 \ATXht10127 Andromache\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 , who had formerly been married to the hero \b \cf15 \ATXht10807 Hector\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 , taken as a slave by Pyrrhus, and then abandoned
for \b \cf15 \ATXht10814 Hermione\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 . Aeneas was welcomed with full honors in the city, which had been built on the model of \b \cf15 \ATXht12019 Troy\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 , and asked Helenus, famous for his gifts of prophecy, what perils he ref
ugees would have to face before reaching the end of their journey. Helenus admitted that he was unable to reveal all the secrets to him as he was prevented from doing so by \b \cf15 \ATXht3 Hera\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 , but offered him useful advice.
