Painting by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1812 CE, Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Belgium. In [the Aeneid](https://www.worldhistory.org/The_Aeneid/), [Aeneas](https://www.worldhistory.org/Aeneas/) sees Marcellus in the Underworld and is saddened by Marcellus' early [death](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Death/). When this passage is read to [Augustus](https://www.worldhistory.org/augustus/) (Marcellus' uncle) and [Octavia](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Octavia/) (his mother), Octavia faints, as seen here.
