  When a mythological figure is given in the parentage of a legendary
  character, it should be noted that the genealogy is either totally
  bogus or that the parentage is really the high priest of priestess o f the
  mythological figure. Aeneas's mother was most likely the high priest ess
  of the Goddess Aphrodite.Aeneas was the son of Anchises and Venus. He was
  a cousin of King Priam of Troy, and was the leader of Troy's Dardanian
  allies during the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, he led a band of
  Trojan refugees to Italy and became the founder of Roman culture
  (although not of the city of Rome itself). He was the mythical progenitor
  of the Julian gens through his son Ascanius, or "Iulus," and Virgil made
  him the hero of his epic, the Aeneid.
  In the Trojan War, Aeneas was one of the most respected of the Trojan
  heroes, perhaps second only to Hector. He engaged in abortive single
  combat with the Greek heroes Diomedes, Idomeneus, and Achilles; twice he
  was rescued through the intervention of gods. When Troy was sacked by the
  Greeks, Aeneas fought on until he was ordered by the gods to flee. He
  finally left the city, carrying his father and the household gods (see
  Penates) on his shoulders; his wife Creusa was lost in the confusion, but
  his son Ascanius escaped with him.
  Aeneas and the Trojan remnant then wandered across the Mediterranean,
  hounded by the enmity of Juno. In one of the most famous episodes of the
  Aeneid, they were cast ashore near the north African city of Carthage,
  where they were hospitably received by Dido, the city's founder and
  queen. There ensued a love affair between Dido and Aeneas which
  threatened to distract Aeneas from his destiny in Italy. Mercury was sent
  to order Aeneas to depart and Aeneas, forced to choose between love and
  duty, reluctantly sailed away. Dido, mad with grief, committed suicide.
  When Aeneas later encountered her shade on a trip to the underworld, she
  turned away from him, still refusing to forgive his desertion of her.
  In Italy, Aeneas allied himself with King Latinus, and was betrothed to
  Latinus' daughter, Lavinia. Lavinia's former suitor, Turnus, goaded by
  jealousy and the machinations of Juno, declared war against the intruder,
  and a period of bloody fighting (the Italian Wars) followed. Aeneas was
  victorious, eventually killing Turnus in single combat, and went on to
  found the city of Lavinium. At the end of his life, Aeneas was deified at
  the request of his mother, Venus, and became the god Indiges.
  In the Aeneid, Aeneas' most common epithet is "pius," and Virgil presents
  him as the exemplar of the Roman virtues of devotion to duty and
  reverence for the gods.
