Ufens

Wikipedia Abstract

Ufens is a character in Virgil's The Aeneid as well as Silius' Punica. According to The Aeneid:"Next Ufens, mountain-bred, from Nersae cameto join the war; of goodly fame was hefor prosperous arms: his Aequian people showno gentle mien, but scour the woods for prey,or, ever-armed, across the stubborn glebecompel the plough; though their chief pride and joyare rapine, violence, and plundered store. "In The Aeneid, Ufens was killed by Gyas; however, in Punica "Ufens is carried off by an elephant after being skewered by a bayonet fastened to his tusk".
