 Glossary of the Aeneid
Ascanius In Greek and Roman mythology, Ascanius was a son of Aeneas and Creusa.
Here he bred up the infant Camilla, the sole companion of his flight; and, having dedicated her to the service of Diana, he instructed her in the use of the bow and arrow, and accustomed her to the practice of martial and sylvan exercises.
Diana, however, who had foreseen this fatal event, had commissioned Opis, one of her nymphs, to avenge the death of Camilla, and Aruns was slain in his flight from the combat by the arrows of the goddess.

 Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma: The American Portraits Series -- book review
However, it seems apparent from historical evidence that Pocahontas would have enjoyed her adventures, blessed with a natural intelligence and curiosity that allowed her to delve deeply into the foreigner’s culture, even including an apparent religious conversion.
Camilla Townsend, author and associate professor of History at Colgate University, has written this book in part to dispel the mythology about Pocahontas and her people, and to try to give us a realistic understanding of the dynamics between the conquerors and the conquered.
The sad fiction of Pocahontas’s connection to the English seems painfully clear in the reaction of her husband John Rolfe to her death, possibly of pneumonia, at an inn in England.
