2. Summary  Aeneas continues reminiscing, therefore he continues telling about his journey back from Troy. He sales to Thrace and he names a city Aeneade. There he sees a copse of bushes and figures he can take some to eat. He felt that it was a bad omen, but he pulled the branches anyway. Black blood drips down and stains the ground. He pulled more, which bled again. He hears a groan, and Polydorus is under the bushes. He tells his story of how he was killed by Agamemnon and buried there.  Aeneas and his men leave Thrace and they pray to his father, Anchises, for help. Anchises tells them to go to Crete.  They settle on an island called Pergamum. This island is not good for crops so they pray to the gods for help. Apollo sends messengers to Aeneas; they tell him this is not where they should live. They are instructed to go to Italy.

14. Journal In the story, Aeneas and his crew land on the island of Cyclops, where they come across a Greek soldier named Achaemenides. If you were Achaemenides would have the same amount of courage as he did to talk to Aeneas and his Trojan Crew? And if you were Aeneas would you accept him on your crew or kill him?
