	Clarke's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 16
		Some think the body was not burned, but the aromatics only, in honour of the king.
		The topmost part his glittering arms adorn: Warm waters, then, in brazen caldrons borne Are poured to wash his body joint by joint, And fragrant oils the stiffen'd limbs anoint.
		With groans and cries Misenus they deplore: Then on a bier, with purple cover'd o'er, The breathless body thus bewail'd they lay, And fire the pile (their faces turn'd away.) Such reverend rites their fathers used to pay.

	Aeneas at Cumae
		A quarter of the 235 lines which precede the descent to the Underworld is devoted to the drowning and funeral of Misenus (149-182 and 212-235).
		Misenus was drowned at Cape Misenus between Cumae and Portus Iulius, but there was another who died in that area, Halfway between Portus Iulius and Cape Misenus is the port of Baiae, and Marcellus, nephew and possible heir of Augustus, died there in his twentieth year in 23 BC.
		The elaborate funeral of Misenus supervised by Aeneas would stimulate thoughts of the great funeral of Marcellus supervised by Aeneas' descendant Augustus in 23 BC as described by Cassius Dio 53.

	Translation of text from Flavio Biondo, ITALIA ILLUSTRATA
		Next at the fifth milestone from Cumae stands Mt. Misenus which was celebrated by Vergil in his poetry, "And now it is called Misenus from him." [A. 6.234-235] Where it faces Cumae, there is located the lake that is now called the Dead Sea.
		For this was the place in which Suetonius Tranquillus [Aug. 49.1] writes that Octavian Augustus established at Misenus a large fleet which was to guard the provinces of the Roman empire which faced the Tyrrhenian Sea, on this side, Gaul and the two Spains, on that Mauritania and Africa and the islands placed between.
		Hence the bay which on both sides was once called the Bay of Baiae stretches five miles from Misenus to the inmost recess of Avernus and as many miles from Avernus to Puteoli.

		I wish you had been of the party, and sat down by us on little smooth spots of sward, where I reclined, scarcely knowing which way caprice was leading me. My mind was full of the tales of the place, and glowed with a vehement desire of exploring the world beyond the grot.
		I longed to ascend the promontory of Misenus, and follow the same dusky route down which the Sibyl conducted Æneas.
		Turning from the lake, I espied a rock at about a league distant, whose summit was clad with verdure, and finding this to be the promontory of Misenus, I immediately set my face to that quarter.
