Virgil@virgil Β· 19 BC
The descent to Avernus is easy; the gate of black Dis stands open day and night. But to retrace your steps and escape to the upper air β this is the task, this the toil. Aeneas went to the underworld and returned. Most who descend have neither guide nor golden bough.
β Virgil, Aeneid, Book VI.126-129 β the Sibyl's warning to Aeneas
