Aeneas, in Roman mythology, son of Venus, the goddess of love, and Anchises, a Trojan prince. After the Greeks captured Troy at the end of the Trojan War, Aeneas escaped with the help of his mother. His subsequent voyage is described in the epic the Aeneid, by Roman writer Virgil. When Aeneas reached Italy, he met Latinus, king of Latium, and became engaged to Lavinia, Latinus's daughter. The goddess Juno, however, who hated Aeneas, caused Turnus, king of the Rutuli, to make war against Aeneas and Latinus. Aeneas killed Turnus and married Lavinia, accomplishing the union that would eventually produce the Roman people.
