con I'ucrza de briosisiiiios rcineros'' is not unlike (Persiles. 606) : 

 "iba . . . confiada en el teson durisimo de sus remeros." Tlie 

 mal gobierno del timonero of the Persiles also recalls the indiscreto 

 y tardo de Menetes, the bad pilot who spoiled the chances of Gias. 

 It is also possible that a phrase at the beginning of this same book 

 of the Aeneid: "Y pues Fortuna vence, es bieh seguillos (vientos)" 

 Eneida, p. 186, may have suggested the name of the victorious boat 

 in the Persiles. The four boats of Virgil are called Pistris, 

 Chimera, Centauro and Scila; in book X the decorations or 

 emblems of some of Aeneas's boats are described: one (Vol. II, 

 p. 108) has "los Leones de Troya" painted on the prow; another 

 "un rutilante Apolo; the Centauro ''lleva un centauro altisimo 

 pintado" on the prow; another a Triton with a shell, half man 

 (honibre velloso) and half monster. Cervantes also decorates his 

 boats in the Persiles; one of them bears the figure of a little 

 giant, one has a little Cupid, and another a nude woman with many 

 wings (alas) all over her body. Cf. p. 548. 



APPEI^DIX VII. 

 The machinery of adventure in the Aeneid and the Persiles. 



The following parallels are to show how the epic manner as 

 well as the machinery of adventure, peregrinaciones, in the Aeneid 

 resembles that of the Persiles, though there may be no indebted- 

 ness to the former on the part of the latter. 



1. The first books of the xleneid are filled Avith the spirit of the 

 wanderings which characterize the earlier half of the Persiles.

 Porzo al varon asi en piedad insigne | A sufrir tantos y tan duros
