Legend About Aeneas

The fabled hero of Rome and Troy, Aeneas, commonly referred to be Romulus and Remus' ancestors, is the subject of this legend. He had a significant impact on the Trojan War between Troy and the Greeks. The Aeneid, a poem by the Roman poet Virgil, claims that Aeneas went to Italy and, together with numerous others, became the ancestor of the Romans. The entire group was referred to as the Aeneads, and Aeneas was one of the select few who survived the Trojan War unharmed, even after Troy was obliterated.

As they worshiped each god and goddess, the crew of the Aeneads brought several statues of the Trojan gods to Italy to plant them. But it took them nearly six years and a difficult journey to get to Carthage. Aeneas encounters Dido, the Carthaginian queen, on his journey there, and the two fall in love. They intend to cohabitate in Carthage while creating a future for themselves. However, Aeneas departs from Carthage after a short while because his mother urges him to return in order to improve his future. When Dido discovers that Aeneas has abandoned her, she becomes angry and kills herself in Rome by stabbing herself with a sword while cursing at Aeneas.
