Achates
In the ''Aeneid'', Achates ("good, faithful Achates", ''fidus Achates'' as he was called) was a close friend of Aeneas; his name became a by-word for an intimate companion. He accompanied Aeneas throughout his adventures, reaching Carthage with him in disguise when the pair were scouting the area, and leading him to the Sibyl of Cumae. Virgil represents him as remarkable for his fidelity, and a perennial type of that virtue. However, despite being Aeneas's most important Trojan, he is notable for his lack of character development. In fact, he has only one spoken line in the entire epic. Aeneas, surrounded by only a shadowy cast of allies, is thus emphasised as the lone protagonist and at the same time cut off from help on his quest.〔R. Deryck Williams, ''Aeneas and the Roman Hero''〕 .〔Virgil, ''The Aeneid''〕 ==Ships==
