The Sibyl addressed a group of these, and inquired where Anchises was to be found. They were directed where to seek him, and soon found him in a verdant valley, where he was contemplating the ranks of his posterity, their destinies and worthy deeds to be achieved in coming times. When he recognized Aeneas approaching, he stretched out both hands to him, while tears flowed freely.
He lived afterwards for years in peace, health, and happiness with the beautiful wife who had cost him so much suffering and so many trials to regain. Among the relatives of King Priam was one Anchises, a descendant of Jupiter, who was very old at the time of the war.
He turned at length slowly away; and solitary, thoughtful and sad, he went back to the gate of the city, and thence out to the valley where he had concealed Anchises and his little son. He found them safe.
The dread of Anchises a man is not long of life who lies with a Goddess refers to a belief found from Glenfinlas to Samoa and New Caledonia, that the embraces of the spiritual ladies of the woodlands are fatal to men.

If I mistake not, when Aeneas met the son of Evander they joined their right hands.
Then Ilos again begat a son, noble Laomedon, and Laomedon begat Tithonos and Priam and Lamppos and Klytios and Hiketaon, of the stock of Ares. And Assarakos begat Kapys, and Kapys Anchises, and Anchises me; but Priam begat the goodly Hector. "Lo then of this blood and lineage declare I myself unto thee.
Some few, of whom Anchises intimates that he is one, are admitted at once to Elysium, there to remain.
