Then Juno, as a suppliant used these words to him: Aeolus, the father of gods and king of men gave to you the power to pacify and lift the waves by means of the wind. A race that is unfriendly to me is now sailing through the Tyrrehian sea, carrying Troy into Italy, and carrying the conquered household gods: strike force into your winds and sink the submerged ships or drive them to distand lands (different directions) and scatter their bodies over the sea.

     I have twice 7 (14) nymphs outstanding in beauty, of whom the one who is the prettiest with respect to form is Deiopea, I will join in marriage enduring and designate her to be yours, so that she may spend all years with you in exchange for such favors to me, and she will make the you the parent of pretty children.

     Aeolus said these things: "It is your task, o queen, to ascertain what you desire; for me it is proper in divine law to undertake the things commanded. You have acquired for me this whatever of a kingdom, you gained for me the scepter and favor of Jove, you gave to me the ability to recline on the couches of the Gods, you make for me (you grant me) power over the clouds and storms."

     When these things were said, he struck the hollow mountain in the side, just as a battle line having been drawn up, when the portal had been opened, , they rushed in and swept the groups with a whirlwind. Together the south, southeast, and southwest winds rushed forth, packed with squalls, and they swooped down upon the sea and from the lowest depths they up-heaved the sea, they turned the huge waves toward the shores. And followed closely the shouts of men and the shriek of ropes. The clouds are snatching away the sky and day from the eyes of the Trojans; the dark night swept over upon the sea. The sky thundered and the high heaven flashed with frequent fire. All things were threatening the immediate death of the men.
