Aeneas and his crew began to found in the "Aeneid " on the island ofCrete . In Delos,Apollo had delivered them an oracle telling them that they would found a new city in their homeland. They misinterpreted this to mean Crete, but really it wasItaly , but when they began to found the city, they were struck down with disease. Apollo appeared to Aeneas in a dream and told him that they were at the wrong place and told him to push on to Italy. ("Aeneid" Book III, 131)
