When Aeneas felt the ship, her helmsman lost, drifting badly and himself guided it true through nocturnal waves, sighing often and deeply stunned by the fate of his friend:
"You trusted far too much in serene sky and calm sea and will now, O Palinurus, lie naked on an unknown strand."

--Vergil, The Aeneid, 5.854-71
