Penates

The ancestral gods of the household and of the Roman state, the "Phrygian gods" Aeneas carried out of burning Troy in his father's arms and in his ships to Italy. In the Aeneid they speak to him in a dream on Crete and send him to Hesperia; Livy has Latinus seal the marriage of Lavinia before his own tutelary gods; Ovid's Aeneas bears the "holy images" with Anchises.
