 Polydorus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The "bush" in this case is Polydorus, a young Trojan prince who was sent by his father (Priam, King of Troy) to the neighboring kingdom of Thrace when Troy was besieged by the Greeks.
Polydorus arrived bearing a large amount of gold, and the King of Thrace--to whose care the welfare of the young Trojan was entrusted--murdered Polydorus and took possession of his riches.
Aeneas unwittingly discovers Polydorus' unburied corpse when he uproots three leafy branches to serve as cover for a sacrificial altar: the first two times, Aeneas freezes with terror when dark blood drips from the uprooted branch; the third time, a voice--rising from the ground--begs Aeneas to stop causing harm and identifies itself as Polydorus.

 Aeneid 3, a book replete with monstra that form some of the most memorable episodes in the poem, opens with a scene ...
Vergil's debt to Euripides' Hecuba in the Polydorus episode of Aeneid 3 has been evident to scholars at least since Heinze remarked a series of verbal echoes between Vergil's text and two passages in Euripides' play: the prologue spoken by Polydorus' ghost and the "trial" of Polymestor near the drama's conclusion.
Vergil in effect replaces the conclusion of Polydorus' story as staged by Euripides&emdash;Polymestor's corrupt "trial"&emdash;with a pious funeral and the Trojans' departure from Thrace, events more representative, he suggests, of the Augustan emphasis on piety toward the dead and social renewal than the event they supplant.
This helps make Polydorus' funeral all the more appealing as an alternative to Polymestor's "trial," since the Trojans themselves are implicated in a process of inquiry tainted by corruption.
