Hyginus listed Caeneus among those who killed themselves. According to Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas sees the shade of Caeneus while visiting a place in the Underworld called the (Mourning Fields), where those who died for love reside. Virgil locates these fields as part of, or near to, the region containing suicides. There Aeneas sees Caeneus, of whom Virgil says, although once a man, is now a woman again, "turned back by Fate into her form of old".
