Aeneas narrates of his adventure back at Troy. How the Greeks invaded their land, and started fires all over their homeland. There seems to be a statue of a horse that the people of Troy do not trust(Trojan Horse). They think it is a trick from the Greeks to destroy them. During the fires Aeneas saw the ghost of Hector and he told him to flee from that place, but Aeneas did not take heed to this warning and stayed and fought for his city. After he went back looking for his wife Creusa, she came to him as a ghost and told him to dismiss thoughts of taking her with him. He wept and she disappeared into thin air.
