The ghost of Polydorus then tells his story and Aeneas and his men proceed to give him a proper burial. Aeneas then goes to Delos and receives a dream from Apollo, but misinterprets the dream and ends up sailing to Crete, they soon leave however when their civilization is plagued. The gods come to Aeneas and tell him that he was supposed to go to Italy. The men sail for Italy but end up getting shipwrecked on the Island of the Harpies where they eat of the cattle and anger the harpies. The leader then curse the men saying that famine will come upon their land and with that the men sacrifice to Apollo and once again set sail to Italy.
