The SIS officer replied "''Sunt lacrimae rerum'', really", referencing Aeneas' famous lines in Book I. The phrase literally means "There are tears of things" but in context, the intended meaning was something like "Shit happens."

* ''Theatre/APortraitOfTheArtistAsFilipino'': The titular portrait, while never meant to be revealed directly (at least on stage), is described as depicting Aeneas carrying his decrepit father Anchises on his back as they flee the burning Troy. Don Lorenzo used his own likeness for both father and son—the former based on his current old age, the latter based on himself in his youth.
* ''Theatre/SpringAwakening'': At the beginning, background, and end of "All That's Known" there is a neat variation on the usual OminousLatinChanting: they're chanting a passage from ''Literature/TheAeneid'' as part of a Latin class.
* ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew'': Tranio is Lucentio's [[TheConfidant confidant]], who compares him to a famous literary confidant from Virgil's ''Literature/TheAeneid'': "That are to me as secret and as dear/As Anna to the Queen of Carthage was."
