Didos [noun]

The critic, in censuring poor Dido and her sister, totally forgets their very reasonable ground of provocation.

In utter misery Dido, on pretext of burning all Æneas' love-gifts, prepares a pyre and summons a sorceress.

Dido sends Anna with a last appeal to Æneas, who nevertheless, in spite of struggles, obeys the gods (469-513).

Venus feigns assent to Juno's proposal that Æneas shall marry Dido and be king of Carthage.

He fled to Dido's father Belus, and with the help of the latter founded a new kingdom in Cyprus.

As usual, he anchored just beyond the fastenings, and then had to turn Dido, who seemed as long as a battleship.

For Dido was a perfect mount, and as indifferent to the motions of Aeneas as if she was strolling in the Elysian fields.

Dido was very angry, but her breeding saved her; she didn't take a head-centre because she quarrelled with neas.'

The people of Dido had not, like those of Romulus, established off-shoots in the interior.

But the love of Dido for Æneas is the refined passion which is the soul of the romances and of half the poetry of modern times.
