In classical mythology, specifically in Virgil's epic poem the Aeneid, Aeneas and his companion Achates are approached in the woods by the goddess Venus, who is also Aeneas's mother. Venus disguises herself as a huntress to avoid being recognized and provides Aeneas with information about the land they have just arrived in (Italy) and the people who inhabit it.
