4. WEALTH INHERITED AND CREATED

“I was worshipping the god’s temple, an ancient pile of stone. ‘Lord of Thymbra, give us an enduring dwelling place; grant a house and family to thy weary servants and a city to abide: keep Troy’s second fortress, the remnant left of the Grecians and merciless Achilles. Whom follow we? Or whither dost thou bid us go, where fix our seat? Grant an omen, O Lord, and inspire our minds.’ Scarcely had I spoken thus, suddenly all seemed to shake, all the courts and laurels of the god, the whole hill to be stirred round about, and the caldron to moan in the opening sanctuary. We sink low in the ground, and a voice is borne to our ears: ‘stubborn race of Dardanus, the same land that bore you by parentage of old shall receive you again on her bountiful breasts. Seek out your ancient mother; hence shall the house of Aeneas sway all regions, his children’s children and they who shall be born of them. .. Then my father unrolling the records of men of old, ‘Hear, O princes’, says he, ‘and learn your hopes. In mid ocean lies Crete, the island of high Jove, wherein is Mount Ida, the cradle of our race. ..” Virgil, ‘The Aeneid’.50
