Notable Person with this Name: In the Aeneid (29 BC-19 BC), the Roman poet Virgil | 70 BC-19 BC) tells of Metabus, the tyrant of Italy's ancient Volsci nation. Forced by rebel Volsci to flee his city of Privernum, Metabus grabbed a spear, then wrapped his infant daughter Camilla in his cloak, and dashed through the woods to the banks of the River Amasene. As mobs approached, Metabus begged the hunting-goddess Diana to spare Camilla--then bound the infant to his spear, and hurled her over the river, with one of history's most amazing throws. Camilla landed safely on the opposite bank, and Metabus fought his way through white-water to retrieve her, and carry her to her future destiny as a mighty warrior. | Public Domain Image: Metabus makes history's greatest throw, hurling a spear--with his infant daughter Camilla tied to it--across the River Amasene, in Metabus and Camilla (1808) by France's Jean-Baptiste Peytavin (1767-1855).
