Achates

Health and greeting, my Achates, in this veritable spring month.

It was the ease of Æneas and his Achates, when they walked invisibly about the fields and streets of Carthage.

So neas and Achates plunged into the primeval forest near which the Sibyl dwelt.

At once Achates struck a spark from the flint and caught the fire on leaves, and laying dry fuel round kindled it into flame.
