Léon Cogniet (1794-1880)
"Métabus et Camille"
In Virgil's Aeneid, Camilla is the daughter of King Metabus and Casmilla.
Driven from his throne, Metabus is chased into the wilderness by armed Volsci, his infant daughter in his hands. The river Amasenus blocked his path, and, fearing for his child's welfare, Metabus bound her to a spear. He promised Diana that Camilla would be her servant, a warrior virgin. He then safely threw her to the other side, and swam across to retrieve her. The baby Camilla was suckled by a mare, and once her "first firm steps had [been] taken, the small palms were armed with a keen javelin; her sire a bow and quiver from her shoulder slung." She was raised in her childhood to be a huntress and kept the companionship of her father and the shepherds in the hills and woods.

scène du massacre des innocents (1824)
by léon cogniet
why do you tear from me my darling son,
the fruit of my womb?
it was i who bore him,
my breast he drank.
my womb carried him about,
my vitals he sucked,
my heart he filled.
he was my life,
‘tis death to have him taken from me.
my strength has ebbed,
my speech is silenced,
my eyes are blinded.
- the mothers lament at the slaughter of the innocents
