Juno has bribed Aeolus to let loose the winds. Suddenly the clouds snatch sky and daylight from the Trojans' eyes, the heavens thunder and the air flashes with fire. Aeneas' limbs go slack with cold, and stretching his hands to the stars he cries that those who died beneath the walls of Troy were three and four times blessed.
The survivors are washed up in Africa, and Aeneas, hidden in a cloud, waits in Carthage at Juno's great temple. Then the queen arrives: Dido, as lovely as Diana leading her dancers. Solve seven puzzles from both passages, and the last word names her.
Crossword — the storm at sea and the queen's arrival.
Anagrams — unscramble seven words from the storm and from Juno's temple.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — present, perfect and future participles of videō, tendō and ēripiō.
Picture Count — reassemble the storm, then count what you see.
Odd One Out — find the word that doesn't belong in each row to build the story, then answer questions about it.
Final Rebus — one clue from every lock. Their first letters spell the final word.
Every answer box checks itself. Spelling and capitals are forgiving, and macrons are never needed.
Seventeen words from the storm and the temple. Every clue gives the English meaning; you supply the Latin. Fill the grid — every crossing letter must agree both ways. Six cells are marked in red: once the grid is solved, their letters unscramble into one more word.
The grid is correct. Unscramble the six red letters:
Seven words from the storm and from Juno's temple at Carthage. Unscramble each one.
