Creusa
(Eurydice)
Creusa was the eldest daughter of Priam and Hecuba.
She married Aeneas, son of Anchises and Aphrodite, and bore him a son
named Ascanius (Iulus).
After the fall of Troy, Aeneas fled with his father and son. He looked
for Creusa, but she had gotten separated
In the Aeneid, Aeneas tells Dido of his search for his wife, Creusa,
after the siege of Troy.
Although Creusa appears as a shade in the Aeneid, some say that she was
not, in fact, dead, and had instead been detained alive by Aphrodite
(Bell, 142).
While Creusa plays a relatively minor role in the Aeneid, her son,
Ascanius, was destined for greater things, and founded the Julian line
when Aeneas reached Italy.
