Paus. 10.26.1 About Kreousa they say how the mother of the gods and Aphrodite rescued her from slavery away from the Greeks; she was in fact Kreousa, wife of Aineias. But Lescheos and the epic poem Kypria (fr 31) say that Eurydike was the wife of Aineias. (Transl. E. Bianchelli)
♠ Cicero, De Divinatione 1.20.40
♠ Pausanias, Description of Greece 10.26.1
Above the women between Aethra and Nestor are other captive women, Clymene, Creusa, Aristomache and Xenodice. Now Stesichorus, in the Sack of Troy, includes Clymene in the number of the captives; and similarly, in the Returns, he speaks of Aristomache as the daughter of Priam and the wife of Critolaus, son of Hicetaon. But I know of no poet, and of no prose-writer, who makes mention of Xenodice. About Creusa the story is told that the mother of the gods and Aphrodite rescued her from slavery among the Greeks, as she was, of course, the wife of Aeneas. But Lescheos and the writer of the epic poem Cypria make Eurydice the wife of Aeneas. Greek Text
