Acerbas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the genus of grass skipper butterflies, see Acerbas (skipper).
In this account Acerbas is the same person as Sychaeus, and Elissa the same as Dido in Virgil.[2] The names in Justin are undoubtedly more correct than in Virgil; for Servius remarks, that Virgil here, as in other cases, changed a foreign name into one more convenient to him, and that the real name of Sichaeus was Sicharbas, which seems to be identical with Acerbas.[3]
