The harbor in Libya from the Aeneid book 1 l. 159-169
This is how I picture the harbor from the first book of the Aeneid, when Aeneas arrives in Libya with the seven ships. However, I'm uncertain of the location of all the features described; is there anything that is incorrectly placed in the picture? The description in the Aeneid is hard to visualize.
Aeneid, I.159-169:
Est in secessu longo locus: insula portum
efficit obiectu laterum, quibus omnis ab alto
frangitur inque sinus scindit sese unda reductos.
Hinc atque hinc vastae rupes geminique minantur
in caelum scopuli, quorum sub vertice late
aequora tuta silent; tum silvis scaena coruscis
desuper horrentique atrum nemus imminet umbra.
Fronte sub adversa scopulis pendentibus antrum,
intus aquae dulces vivoque sedilia saxo,
nympharum domus: hic fessas non vincula navis
ulla tenent, unco non alligat ancora morsu.
